kaA Tor guilty, your Honorl"
 N Such was the unexpected
 verdict in Jo Portugais's murder trial at Montreal. This result was due to the remarkable pleading of Charley Steele, popularly called Beauty Steele" brilliant, handsome young lawyer. addicted to strong drink. His success in this case also won for him the hand of the beautiful Kathleen Vantage, whom he admired, although he did not love her, any more than she loved him.
 After the trial Jo tried to thank Charley: "Get out of my sight" he re plied you are as guilty as He'll" Five years later found him still more bril- liant and more a slave to the bottle. He had corrupted Kathleen's brother Billy, and demoralized the popular preacher, the Rev. John Brown. Billy forged Charley's name and squandered S25,00O of trust money, but Charley resolved to save him from ruin. He went that night to the Cote Doron" tavern where he drank heavily, quar- relied recklessly with some rough-driy- CTS and was kicked senseless and flung into the river.
 Just at that moment Jo P0rtugais. on raft opposite the tavern, heard the scuffle and the splash. jumped into the water and rescued the insensble man, whom he recognized as his form CT deliverer. Taking him to his hut on Vadrome Mountain. near Chaudiere Parish, he nursed him seven months till he was restored to health, but with his memory completely gone. After the cures brother, M LOisel, a skilled surgeon, operated on him his memory returned. He did not know Jo, but his eye chanced to fall on a newspaper which told of his own death, of tbe marriage of his wife to a former ad mirer. and accused him of having em- beZzled the trust money.
 What was he to Go? He could not go back even to clear himself. He de- cided to remain unknown, as Charles Mullard, in Chaudiere. The village postmistress, Rosalie Evanturel a charming girl of fine family and con vent education, made his acquaintance by bringing up to him a parcel-post package from the surgeon. Charley be- came apprentice to the elderly crotch ety tailor, Louis Trudel, and went to live with him. Louis was suspicious of him because he was an infidel, and determined to show him q sign from Heaven so as to convert him. He stole from the church-door the little iron cross blessed by the Pope, and late one night after Charley had gone to bed heated it red-hOt, and rushing upstairs dropped it on Charley's bare chest. Rosalie from the postofIice opposite noticed a light under the tailor's door at that unusual hour and suspecting something wrong saw 1 through the shutters what the man was doing. She hastened through the kitchen and upstairs but too late to stay the tailors hand. He turned and fell headlong and died soon after, call ing Charley "a black infidel from 1 He'll"

carts on the staging. The captain OF
the barge is watching conditions close

danger the Seguin will go up river to
