fiercely scrutinized the bench, the
court room, fists clenched. Things
just couldn't go wrong now, after the
hard work he had gone through!
And it was all so unnecessary! If
Mary had listened to him they would
have been married long ago, and she
would have been safely in their home,
instead Of enduring all this. But she
would have it no other way.
MARY had never been able to en-
vision with him the tranquil
peacefulness OF married life, of lit
tie trips, just the two Of them, up
into the mountains or perhaps in
a little shack on the beach some
where. But maybe, after this long
business was over, she would change
her mind. Lee was confident, the
harshness of the affair was evident
upon the lovely girls countenance.
And nothing. he was equally conf
dent. was going to happen to prolong
this agony.
Lee was not sure. but it seemed like
only few minutes, when there was
a knock from the other side Of the
jury room door. The baili1 again
approached it, and upon its opening
the jury, visibly struggling for nom
committal expression, took their seats.
Have you reached a verdict?" the
judge demanded. The foreman of
the jury handed ballot to the bailiff,
Who in turn, placed it solemnly upon
the bench.
I'VE have, your honor" he replied.
He stood uncertainty for a foment,
watching the judge. Lees heart
leaped. In few seconds now he
would know certainly if this ugly
business was ended.
A gavel raped thrice. AS one, the
entire court rose. and in the silence
the judge turned to Mary. Mary
Blanchard, it is now my duty to read
to you in this court the jurys YER
dict" Mary's face was grim. as grim
as the expression the judges coun-
tenance assumed in the little moment
he was opening the sealed ballot. He
read and coughed.
Mary Blanchard, the jury finds
you .. :" he paused drama tically,
