his eyes, and right opposite> hint, on
the oblong patch a sunlight an the
wall paper, he saw the Mack sha-
dow of a man, with limn raised to
the fastening of the French window
that opened from the room into the
garden.
Turning sharply. he faced the in-

with a deprecating gesture. Trevor

ened the glass door to let tbis man
pass, the judge's quick eye revogniz-
ed him. at once by the sioucbing
walk and elose-eroppelf hair as a
,newly hberated jail bird. He was
not so quick to recognize face or
tigorte though Instantly conscious of
having seen the man before.
Middle-sized and middle-aged, Ile
looked still strong and active, in

clothes were a. shabby-geuteel smooth
black cloth, and his hands, as be
'drew off the cottoa gloves. and .folded
them into a. ball, though coarse and
large, were scrupulously clean. On
his egg-simped head the coarse black
hair, just grizzled with white, was
cut close to the skin. Efis face was
a puzzle—a wide, rugged, cruel
mouth, rough with broken teeth, like
a gap cut in his 'head by the gash of
hatebet, belied the soft, persuasive
almost obsequious—look in his great
black eyes. Ms soft voice was not
less persuasive than his soft eyes.
"I came to tbank you Judge Tre-

Trevor shook his head.. "X seem
