"He can easily do that," said Madge, with a ray of hope lighting up her sad face; "he was 'here till 1 1 o'clock on Thursday night." "Very probably," returned her father dryly; "but where was be at 1 o'clock on Friday nr.raing?" "Besides, Mr Whyte left the louse long before Brian did," she went on repilly. "You must re- member -it was when you (permit- ted with el( Whyte." "My dear Madge," said Ur Frettl- by, stopping in front of her with a displeased look, "you are incorrect -Whyte and myself did not quar- rel. He asked we if it were true that Fitzgerald was engaged to you, and I answered yes. That was all, and then he left the house." "Yes, and Brian didn't go until two hours after," said Madge, tri- umphantly. "Ile never saw Mr Whyte the whole night." "So he says," replied Mr Frettlby, significantly. "I believe Brian before any one else in the world," said his deughter, hotly,with flushed cheeks and flair ing eyes. "Ah! but will a jury'?" queried her father. "Yon have turned against him too," answered Madge, her eyes lilting with tears. "You believe him guilty." "I am not prepared either to deny or affirm his guilt," said Mr Frettlby, coldly. "I have done what I could to help bini-I have engaged Calton to defend blue_ and if eloquence and skill can save him, yon may set your mind at rest." "My dear father," said Madge, throwing her arms around his neck, "1 knew you would not desert him d;together, for my sake." "My darling," replied -her father in a faltering voice, as he kissed lier, "there is nothing in the world 7 would not do for your sake." Meanwhile Brian was sitting in his cell in the Melbourne jail,thinke ing sadly enough about his position. Ile sew no hope of escape except one, and that he did not intend to ,take advantage of. "It would kill her; it would kiil her,': he said feverishly, as he paced to and fro over tho echoing stones. "Bettor that the last of the Fitz- gerald should perish like a common thief than that she should know the Litter truth. If I engage n lawyer to defend me," he went on, "the Irst question he will ask tne will Le where 1 on that night, and if I tell hitte till will be discovered, and then--no-no.--I cannot, do it; ;t would kill her, my darling," and ilivowing himself down on the bed, he covered big face with his hands. LIP was roused by che opening of the door of his cell, and onlooking ep saw that it was Calton who entered.- He was a great friend of Fitzgerald's, and Brian was deeply vouched by his kindness in coming to see him. Dencan Calton had a indly heart, and was anitious to Brian, but there was also a ouch of self-interest in the matter. Ile had received a note from Mr Frettlby, asking hint to defend Fitzgerald, which he agreed to with avidity, as he foresaw in this case ran opportunity for his name becom- ing known throughout the Austra- 'Jinn colonies. ' It is true that he was already 'a celebrated lawyor,but is reputatien was pueely alocal ono, and as he foresaw that Fitz- . gerald's trial for murder would cause a great sensation throughout Australia and New Zealand, there- fore determined to take Advantage of it as another step in the ladder -which led to fame, wealtk.and posi- tion. So this tell, keen eyed man, with the clean shaven face.ind ex' ltressive mouth, advanced into the call, and took Brian by the hand. 4 1 ii Oda nnpleitaiint publicity. •4-41)144 t'4a IS all Ulla. oliattet,”- 444C1 Ff*.t.913i kokleg, seat.

NOW, you need not say a. word," he went on, holding up hitt band as Brian was about to speak: "I au* going to defend you in this case whether you or not. I do not know all the facts, except what the papers have stated, and they exaggerate so much that one can place no reliance on them. At all events, I believe from my heart that you are innocent, and you must walk' out of the prisoner's dock a free wan, if billy for the sake of that noble girl who loves you." • Brian did not answer, but put out his hand, which the other grasp. ed warmly. "I will not deny," went on Cel - ton, "that there is a little bit of professional . curiosity about me. This ease is such an extraordinary one that I feel as if I were unable to let slip an opportunity of doing something with it. I don'teeare for year humdrum murders with the poker, turd all that sort of thing, but this is something clever, and therefore interesting. When you are s t'e we will together look for the real criminal, and the pleasure of the search will be proportionate to the excitement when we find him out." "I agree With everything you say," said Fitzgerald, calmly, "but 1 have no defense to make," "No defense? You are not going to confess yon killed him?" "No," with an angry flush, "but there are certain circumstances which prevent me from defending myself." "What nousense," retorted Cel- ton,sharply;"as if any circumstances should prevent a man from saving his own life. But never mind, I like these objections, they make the nut harder to crack -but the kerhel must be worth getting at. Now, you have to answer me certain questions." "I won't promise." "Well, we shall see," said the lawyer, cheerfully, taking out his note book and resting it on his knee. "First, where were you on the Thursday preceding the mut•der?" "I can't tell you." "Oh, yes, yon can, my ft iced. Yon left St. Kilda, and came up to town by the 11 o'clock train," "Eleven twenty,"corrected Brian.

"It's better for him to lose his character than his life," argued Cal ton, "and that woman ought to speak -it would be had on her, I admit; but when a man's neck is in danger she ought to risk anything rather thnli see him hanged."

"lie is very kind; I thought he believed mo guilty." "No man is considered guilty un- til he has 'been proved so," answered Calton, evasively. Brian noticed how guarded the answer was, for he heaved an im- patient sigh. "And Nliss Frettlby?" he asked, in a hesitating manner. This time he got a decitred answer. "She declines to believe you guilty, and will not bear a word said against you. • "God bless her!' said Brian, fee vently; "she is a true woman.

"Your Arrest has, for the present, suspended all in - tercet in theatres, cl icket, matches and balls, and you are at the pre. sent moment being discussed thread - ear° in clubs and drawing rooms."

"Come now, Fitzgerald, I know that young men will be young men, and of course "you don't want these things talked abcut; but in this case your character must be sacrificed to save your neck. What is her name?" "I can't tell you." "Oh! you know it thenr. "Well, yes "And you won,t tell me?" "No!" Calton, however, had found out two things that pleased him: first, that Fitzgerald had an appointment, and, second, it was with a woman. Ile went on another line." "When did you last see Whyte?" Brian answerei with great re- Inetance, "I saw him drunk by the l•acotch churcli." "What! you were the man who hailed the hansom!"

"Yes, I did. I told -him that I would kill him if he persisted in his plan of marrying Madge." "Ah! if the landlady can swear that. she heard you say so, it will form a strong piece of evidence it was truly shocking. As to Mr Felix, Rolleston, it was a time of great joy to him, know- ing as he did all the circumstances of the case and the dramatis per- sona.. When any new evidence came to light Rolleston was the against you. As far as I can see, first to know all about it, and would there is only one defense, and that go round to his friends and relate is an easy one -you must prove an it with certain additions of his own, which rendered it more piquant and dramatic, But when asked his opinion as to the guilt of the accus- ed he would shako his head saga- oously, and hint that both he and • his dear friend Calton -he knew Calton to nod to -could not make up their minds upon the matter. .
