all the black hours reviewing my life,
especially the last year, thinking with
what high hopes and great expecta-
tons had come TO the metropolis and
how miserably everything had turned
out for me. Step by step l had re-
viewed the events that had brought
me, discredited, all but friendless, all
but penniless, into this dismal court
room accused Of a horrible, cowardly
deed, seeking to see wherein l might
have altered my recent actions or
changed the course Of my life to avoid
having arrived at this shameful goal.
Yet, strange to say, I found myself
after mature reflection convinced that

ferently-no, not even if could have
foretold what the future had in store
for me.
