There was much craning of necks as the third member of this Interesting party came through the narrow pa eageway around the drawing room. Her advent promised further enter tnlnmeut to travel bored passengers. Ouly one of the latter did not crane his neck. He simply sat staring at the girl, bla bawls gripped hard on tfie arm of the chair.

The girl band lay limply hi his. then she pulled herself together and withdrew It. "Oh. I knew you at once. But the ahock"- "Preclaely. It was a shock to me to And you with them." The gesture was alight, but Emily Hunt knew what be meant, and ber cheeks crimsoned. "I csn explalu" "Let me turn your chair around so we cau talk." Marstou suggested, and a moment later they sat side by side, facing the river bank, their backs to Ills Emily's employer, who sniffed In baffled curiosity and gaxed their way through a jeweled lorguou. "Oh, the story I short enough." said Emily bitterly. "Selllug daubs and teaching youngsters hi a Colorado town and making good with your brush In New York city are entirely different propositions. I saw It was starvation or real work and so" "Being companion to a woman of hor caliber Is real work, eh?" She Is really very klud at heart, and Mr. Magulre Is Just lovely to me." At this Juncture Mr. M:isulre was shaken with a violent coughing spell. "Emily," exclaimed Mrs. Magulre sharply, "where'a the cough niediclue?" But Emily Hunt waa already digging Into her employer's bag. Deftly she poured the medicine and turned to bring a glass of water. Marston was at her heels, bis own drinking cup tiled to the brim. "Thanks. Mr. Magulre took such a dreadful cold while we were at G colon lodge." The Invalid was recovering from the pnroi sin uud there was nothing for Emily to do but Introduce lavld to her employer. Mr. Magulre extended a trembling hand Mrs. Magulre raised her lorgnnu. From Chicago! In Krk. I aup- pose!" David s eyes twinkled even as Emily Hunt's cheeks colored. No, uot exactly-lu the Inw for pork men.

'But you nro In the law" And for men lu pork. 1 am going to Europe ou my first big commission." "I am so glad you have found suc cess," said Kmlly in a cairn voice, though her heart beat suffocatingly.

"Nonsense!' snld the domineering Mrs. Magulre. "A cup of hot broth will do you good. You're looking a bit white this afternoon, and we can't af ford to have you sick on our handa now, with Magulre on the edge of pneumonia." The piercing tones ran the length of the car, and there waa smothered laughter up and down the lines. With crlmsou cheeks, Euilly - touched the button, but when the waiter arrived It waa Marston who took the matter In hand and ordered a dainty luncheon. Mrs. Magulre admitted that for a man in mrk ' ne knew now to oruer. It annoyed her that she could uot com municate this discover)' to her hus band. Later she said something of the ort to Emily, who had brought Mr. Magulre an evening paper picked up at roughkeepsle. Emily did not seem to bear the pa tronizing remark of her employer, ner mind bad leaped forward to that mo ment when the train ahould pull Into the Grand Central depot Then ahe and the Magulre would enter the car riage held In waiting by liveried serv ants, and Maraton would go his self made Independent way. When she re turned to ber chair, the dull foggy dusk waa settling down on the river. Pretty soon on the broad six track way trains loaded with suburbanites would be shooting past tbem, suburbanlt Eoing home to cottages and firesides all their own, where women who bad uever dreamed of artistic careers wait ed for them. The porter iwelved Mrs, Magulre' curt comment on poor (as with abject. apologies. "Sutliln's sure wrong, but wo can't locate the trouble, but we'll soon be In town." he said and hurried on. He knew the Magulre type- Emily started. Marston' band was on her arm. not gently or as a remind er that he deserved ber attention, but In a mssterly, determined clasp. "Emily, do you think for one minute I am going abroad and leave you with that that sort of woman! I've got to sail In the morning. There Is not much time, but you csn get frill and frock In Tar!, and when we come borne. If visiting art center abroad baa roused your ambitions once more, I'll have rou study with the best "I dou't want to study; I bare no ambitions: I Just want" Marston bent very close to catch the last word "you." "Emily, get a nig for Mr. Magulre, exclaimed Mrs. Magulre so sharply that the dHg passengers all woke up. Then as the girl leaned over to pick up the fallen rug Mr. Msgulre whispered harshly: "I guess too forget where yon are!" "No." reulled Kmlly bappll.. 'Tyfi only just found out ab.-ra I belong.

BWIeyl A Day in French Court and the Impressions it Makes on an American Lawyer French Jus tice is 5 wilt, but Expensive, and Docs not Give "Square Deal" to the Accussed. 1. Of my time iu Paris I spent one day in the court house in order to witness a French trial of a cause. They don't call it s court house, but "Palais De Justice." It is in deed a palace and the dilTeient courts have their several rooms. I dropped in the rriiuiual depart tiient when I soon saw that some t hi ui; of iiuportauce was to be tried. Just what it was I could not learn as everything was so Freuchy. liut from all that I could gather the two prisioners were charged with stab bing a policeman. And, after the trial was over, I was still like the fellow who was asked if he knew who struck Hilly l'atterson. His answer was that he "did not know, but from the great fame of that noted assault aud battery he was satisfied of one thing, and that was Mr. Pattersou must have received a hcll-of a lick." Whether or not that polireuiau was killed, or which if the prisoners hit him, if either of them did, I could nut learn from the evidence, but I was couvinced of one thiiiL', and that was that policeman got a terrible lick. A French trial in court Is strict ly a business affair with comical features. The real trial, however, takes place iu secret aud iu the ab sence of the accused. The govern ment's witnesses are examined by the public prosecutor and their ev idence reduced to writing and laid before the court This preliminary investigatiou takes the place of our grand jury, aud is the real trial. The w hole thing is then "cut and dried'' and the public part is mere lv fni innl uud nerfuuc.torv. It goes through like greased machinery. The court room was crowded and a large number of well dressed la dies, accompanied by their bus bands or other geutlemeu, were present. Kverythiug indicated that the case was an important oue. A large numlter bad only stauding room, but tney remaitieu tnrougn- out and heard the whole case. As the time approached for tho eourt (o open, clerks and other court ofll eers were Hitting here and there, placing books and piiors in their proper places. Jiow and then a lawyer in his gown would stroll in and take his seat in the bar. It was a foggy day and the lamps had to be lighted. At the scheduled hour a gong sou tided and the three judges came iu from a rear room and walk ed promptly to their chairs. The audience rose and stood uutil the judges were seated. They wore gowns, were Diuu iieaiiexi aim up 10 the Shakespeare requirement "in fair round belly." The public prosecutor, wearing a gown like judges, came iu with the judges and took his seat above the bar tie tweeu the judges and the jury. The prisoners were brought in at a side entrance in tho custody of five uni formed police, who took their seats iu the prisoners' box with the de fendants. The jury sat just across the bar facing the prisoners. The two lawyers who defended sat just in front of their clients, The names of the jury were called and as each man s name was called be held np his right hand and responded. There were no challenges and the jurors were not sworn uor empan- nclled. 1 he middle or chief justice required the defendants to stand un, read over to them the evidence taken in private and then proceed ed to examine and cross examine the defendants at some length. The defendants were not sworu nor did they nllirm. The evidence taken iu secret appeared to make out a prima facia case and tbe prisoners called upon to show cause why ver dict and judgment should not be rendered, ror several minutes bis Honor fired volumes of questions at the accused in rapid succession. From his manner and tone of voice he was decidedly "with the State." Like tho billy goat in Governor Gleuu's campaign joke, his Honor had already voted, tie bad a most voluble tongue. I have never be fore seen a man who could say so much with so little sense in it (to me). Whenever the evidence of the defendants suited him he would sav "oui" (yes"), "oui" (yes), but when it didn't suit him he would say "belli ' ana mitketueni repeat. He put them through a rigid cross- examination, evidently trying to liscredit them before the jury. The prosecutor was satisfied with the way things were going aud did not open his mouth except to argue the evidence. The defendants' lawyers, under the French system, could say nolhiug and his Honor had matters all his own way. From the beginniug to the end he was virtually tbe whole thing. The two other judges did not say or do anything throughout tbe trial ex cept sleep. II. When the examination of tbe pris oners was concluded, the witnesses for the government were called to testify. There wss no calling over the list to see if any were absent, John Smith was not called at the window and failed to answer, nor did IUII Itrown out in the audience answer "he will lie here; as I passed this luorniug be was hitching up." Every witness was ieuiH-d up iuau adjoiuiug roura aud when his uame waa called he marched like a Prus sian guard quickly to a railing in front of the judges, stood aud gave in bis teotimouy. As soon as the chief justice questioned him some tbe witness marched out. There was no cross examination. The coun sel for the accused sat there "like a kuoton a log." Much of the evi dence was circumstantial aud many letters, iustrnmeuts, etc, were put iu evidence. These were all care fully marked and shown to the jury by a lawyer who took no other part in the trial. The first wituess was called to identify certain photo graphs. He did uot take live min uter). About eight witnesses lu quick succession gave oral testi 1 ony. No one questioned them except that voluble judgo in the center. The wituesses were not sworn but affirmed with up-lifted hand. They did not hear each other testify. The evidence of most of the witnesses pleased old Volubility, as lie constantly chimed iu with that "oui, oiu." At one time the prisoners' counsel reques ted the court to ask the wituess some questions. That is the near est thing they had to cross exami nation. Ou. or twice members of the jury asked the court to put cer tain questions to the witnesses. The jurors apia-ared to lie men of business and listened well to the evidence and to the arguineuts. The counsel for the defense put up no witnesses and didn't put up much of a light. But that was due iu a great measure to their system of laws. Iu a French trial a law yer is a very small potato and stringy ut that. When the evi dence was closed a recess was taken for the court to get a snack and the jurors to get a drink. There is a lunch room, with liquid refresh ments, in the court house. (The judges and lawyers cau get a driuk if they want it. ) When the court re convened, or atory began to How. The court room was full and every body anx ious to bear the speeches. The la dies honored the orators with their presence aud smiles. The argu ment was otiencd by the public to this time, right. They took their seats again aud old Volubility said a few words to them and a few to the jury. Au officer bauded tbe jury a jutjier prolutbly the charge atraiut the prisoners and they retired. III. Whether or not the policeman waa killed I Could uot gather from the evidence or the argumeut, but the fact that the prisoners were al j lowed a jury shoa cd t hat t he charge was a grave oue. Iu trance the accused is entitled to jury ouly in serious felonies. Ami notwith standing the importance of this case it was tried in less than three hours. Some of the brethren over in Meck lenburg or in Stauly would have addressed the jury that long. Hut while the trials aits sieedy under the Freuch system, it is at the ex ieuM of the accused or their liti gants. The state is everything aud the individual uolhiug. Iu our country much more time is requir ed to try a case because the parties to the suit have much more rights under the law. The Anglo Saxon believes in the rights of the indi vidual and iu cm lung the rights of the state. "The law's delay" is something grievious, but it is au incident of our system. Sometimes the guilty go uuwhipjH-d of justice, but w ho is to hi tine! Now aud then we hear some fellow railing at the law, the lawyers and the courts, but when that same fellow l'oIh into trouble or has suffered kijtig at the hands of another he ifc"5 ill to employ a lawyer and to insist on all of his rights aud privileges guaranteed him by the laws. In response to this thoughtless clamor there is au apparent tendency on the pait of legislatures and courts in certaiu states to depart from the old landmarks and shave dowu the rights and privileges of the indi vidual. That there may be delects in our law no one will deny, but perfection isau"irideseent dream." It were better after all to liear the ills we have than to liy to those we kuow not of. When that poor fel low broke down aud cried he felt iu his very heart that he had not had a "square deal." He had simply 1 ice 11 put iu a mill and ground out without the slightest consideration. He was practically couvicted before his trial ts-gau ami he knew it With all of its speed French law is uot more cheaply administered thau ours is. With a jury to try the facts there sit two surplus judges on big salaries who took no part iu the trial whatever. While the lawyers were pleading they both slept soundly.

He often referred to the written ev idence and a few times read por tions of it to the jury. He was pointing out the discrepancies in the oral aud written testimony. (Here is where his clients would have profited by a cross examina- Throughout the trial there was the most perfect order. Judge Shaw never had Is lter order in his court. 1 Besides the Ove policemen iu charge of the two defendants, there were scattered over the court room eight or ten other officers, on big sala ries, with shining caps and uni forms on and swords dangling from their sides, hvet ytliine was "as still as a mouse" except old Vol ubility.

Early yenterday morning, when Mr. aud Mrs. Sain Hood, of Sndy Bulge township, I'nion county, railed up their drove of Cue bronze tut keys they missed a two year old gobbler aud three young hens. "A thief," said Mr. ll.ssl. The place was examiued for tracks or other aitrus of tbe unlaw ful caller, but there was nothing to indicate that any oue Lad beeu around. The telephone was called iuto service aud w ithin ten niiu- utea after Mr. aud Mrs. Hood had discovered the lotts of their Cue fowls the police officers of the city had been aoked to look out for the turkeys of the bronze blood. The jword was received at the police station aud transmitted to the hs-al merchants who deal iu turkeys. Twenty minutes after the officers had uotilied Mr. Johu I.il lycrop of the theft a negro crawled out of a buggy in front of his place ou Fast Trade street aud unloaded ur tine turkeys, a promisiug gob bler aud three pretty hens. "The stolen turkeys," declared some one. "They are fine," said Mrs. Lil- lycrop. Again (he telephone was brought nto service and General Duke, de.sk sergeaut at the police station, was asked to seud after the negro and turkeys. Palrolmeu Merrit aud Malcoin responded aud soon had the negro, John Massey. and the fowls behind the bars. The uegro was put iu a cell in the reg ular ward aud the turkeys iu one of the overtlow wards. John Masse y lives as a tenant on the Flat Branch place, owued by Squire Henry Bryant. He drove to town iu his buggy and brought the turkeys with bim. Ou the way to the city he picked up Maj. Boule- ware, a well known Providence township negro, who felt much hagriued when he learued what lia;l overtaken his traveling com panion.
