One Of the jurors blew his nose loud

sweat beginning to bead his forehead,
knew that they had already made up
their minds that Mary was guilty.

Langdon drew a deep breath, flung
back his shoulders as II breasting q

the final stone was to be laid in that
carefully built tower Of evidence
against Mary Page.
The police had sworn that they saw
Mary threaten James Pollock with Il

out with idle curiosity-faces. savage

ravaged by tears. But they meant
nothing to Langdon, for heart and
brain alike were speeding on ahead OF
him to that distant narrow room
where Mary waited.
At the cell door he halted and quick
ly removed his hat, unhidden tears
springing to his eyes, for Mary was
kneeling like little child, her head
in her mothers lap. and the elder wo

"And God give us strength to go

MARY'S DEFENSE

Xs Philip Langdon's car threaded
~ its way through the heavy
traffic, lodging drays and
clamorous trolleys on its way
toward the grim building where SO
many tragedies are staged by ''the
law" the young attorney felt his heart
sink into engulfing waves Of doubt and
fear.
For the first time since the beginning
Of the trial he had lost his buoyant
hope, his tremendous faith In his abili
ty to prove Mary Page innocent and If
need be to snatch her from cell by
the sheer power Of his love.
The evidence was so overwhelming.
so irrefutable. And Mary herself ut.
.. terly unable to explain those last trag-
ic moments. He knew she couldn't
emember-couldn't explain. But the
jury would not be convinced. He re-
| allied that.
Over and over in his brooding mind
he saw again the tragedy of that night
when the body Of James Pollock. the
clubman and wine agent. had been
found with a bullet in its heart and
beside 1t the unconscious figure Of
Mary Page. Between them had lain
that revolver with its one accusatory
empty chamber. the revolver that
Mary herself admitted she had carried
That Mary was innocent he had new
er doubted. His love was too great to
admit of doubt, but he was Il lawyer.
and now he saw only too clearly that
his defense might prove unconvincing
in the face of the damnatOry facts
first. that Mary had hated and feared
James Pollock. who forced his atten,
tons upon her; second. that she had
carried the revolver hidden in the front
Of her dress when she went into the
anteroom where Pollock was waiting.
