Again the Attorney -General paused
for a moment, and John,Trevor nod-
ded his head in full concurrence.
"But, gentlemen, as unfortunately
too often happens, the man's hot
love burned itself away. Ile grew
at first neglectful, then unkind. As
the man's love cooled the girl's

I have already said, you will have

it is from that, and not from any
observations of mine, your conclu-
sions must bo drawn,
"There is one letter, however,
which I now hold in my hand, to
which I most entreat your earnest
attention, so vital is its importance
in the case. It is a letter from the
murdered girl, apparently written in
reply to a communication from the
prisoner desiring to break off the en-
gagement. That document is not
fortheoining, but it is only fair to
the prisoner to say that from the re-
ply he seems to have offered to make
vory generous peovlsiou for tho lady
as a condition of his release,

not think you were a liar all the

"Welcome, Ardel; never more wel

friend walked abruptly into his
chambers on a hot August afternoon.
Tho lawyer was at his desk; before
him was a huge volume of foolscap,
With parchment hinges, which he
was reading diligently, crossing and
Scoring, and underlining with a
stumpy blue pencil as be read. A
number of briefs were scattered round
on the table, floor, and chairs, the
red tape strings still untied,
"This is a professional visit," said
Ardel, "I saw you yesterday in the
street. You looked worn out and
worried, so I came here,"
"I nisi worried," Trevor answered,

But I've got it badly this time. It's

"The murder case?"
"Yes, the murder case. I forgot I
told you about it,"
"Nearly four months ago, at the
Cecil. Don't you remember? But
it was just coming on then. I bave
been to Japan and back since, and
it's coming on still."
"Ohl there has been adjournment

fished up more and morn evidence.
The delay has helped to work me up
to fever heat. So strangely has the
case got on my nerves, and brain,

)im, it is hard to 1e0ve it by the
load of the gallows; it is horrible,

Vivian Ardel's face grew very
gravo. "I don't wonder at you" ho
Said shortly. '"1t is horrible. Even
to think of death is always horrible.
But such a death, in the midst of
Life, staring the doomed man in the
face with an awful certainty of its

Me broke off abruptly with a shud-
der, his strong imagination had
mads the ease his own.
"Can nothing be done to save
him?"
"Nothing, I fear. Nothing, at
least, that I can ho. I have ran-
sacked the case thoroughly, and I
can find no hope anywhere, I may
make a little footy law point here
and there, but the chain of evidence
is as strong as steel."
"Can I be of any use?"
"You! You don't mean it, This
thing is not in your lino, Ardol."
"Everything 'is in any line, especi-
ally when there is a life to be sex-
ed."
"Would you read the brief?"
"Certainly, if you will let me; and
I should like to be present at the
trial, if it can be managed. Reading

your blood and the worry out of
your brain, and leave me alone for
a couple of hours with those papers.
I want work. You may lock the
door after you, if you like. I shan't
stir till you return."
When Trevor got back with bright
eyes and clear color from his walk,
Ardel was not at the desk or papers,
but loaning back in tho great easy
chair, motionless, and so absorbed in
thought he diel not hear !limn enter.
"Weill" said the lawyer; "have you
found light?"
"A. glimmer; still, I may bo able
to force the shutters and let the clay

"Next Saturday, at the Central

"Nothing uet.il I Have more to

miss this trial."
A week later, when "The Queen
against Edgar Hardy Wickham" was
called, the court was crowded to
the doors, for the trial was the sen-
sation of the hour,
The judge was a grave, strong -
faced span, clean-shaven and firm -
lipped, wilh a reputation of forcing
his way through all obstacles to the
truth, and carrying the jury with
him; the best man in the world for
en innocent person to be tried be-
fore, and the ho worsta guilty,
ui t
f
g
v.
Inthat t at c curt full of callous spec-
tators,
one man, at least, watched
the prisoner with an intense sympa-
thy that was akin to pain. The
watcher sat in a dark corner far
front the dock. But the prisoner,
though he could not see him, grew
uneasy under those intense eyes that
shone out of the dusk, and shielded
his face with his hands as from a
strong light. Then- Vivian Ardel
shifted his position a little and
faced the witness -box. So absorbed
was he in his own thoughts and
task that he was unconscious of the
interest that he was himself creating..
For women's quick eyes had found
him even in the shade. Tho famous
hypnotic doctor, athlete, inventor,
millionaire was one of the few men
in London who could distract the
eyes of fashionable Iadies from that,
handsome young murderer they had
conte to see.
The youngEAC in the c1 dock was
indeedandsomo—
h and horrible, Hor-
rible in the look of abject fear on
every lino of it. The dark eyes had
the piteous glare --half fierce, half
frightened—of a wild animal trapped;
the upper lip drawn tight showed a
narrow line of teeth tight clenched.
The jury are sworn without a chal-
lenge on either side.. The prisoner
pleaded "Not guilty" in a faltering
voice; then slowly and solemnly the
Attorney -General, Sir Frederick Per-
cival, began his opening statement
for the Crown.
Sir Frederick Percival was the
most dangerous of prosecutors by
reason oI his transparent impartial-
ity. IIe never pressed a point
against a prisoner; he never shirked
a point in his favor, Ile simply
gave tho facts fair play. He lot
them tell their own story and make
their own arguments. Ile never
prosecuted a man whom ho diel not
believe to be guilty, and he had a
wonderful way of impressing his own
belief on the jury.
"My Lod and Gentlemen of the
Jury," the Attorney -General began,
"this is indeed e terrible charge that
we have met to investigate, aucl not
lightly to be believed true of any
man. It will be a happy privilege
for yuu if you can set the prisoner
free by your verdict. No men will
rejoice more than myself should I
fail to convince you of his guilt. It
is my duty only to sot the facts
clearly before you, and yours to
consider and decide, The responsi-
bility of that decision is yours, net
mime.
"The prisoner at the bar is young
and wealthy. IIe has lcnowrt how to
enjoy his wealth, but there is no
insinuation hero that he has abused,
it. Such an insinuation would bo
false if it were made.
"About nine months ago he was
captivated by the personal attrac-
tions of the ill-fated hiss Bessie
Blythewood, for whose murder he is
now upon his trial.
"It was an honorable love he pro-
fessed for her, and it appears to have
boon passionately returned by the
object of his alTections. From first
to last—I wish you to understand
this—from first to last there is to
hint on which even malice could fas-
ten against the honor of the Lean 0r
the virtue of the woman.
"She was an actress of undoubted
talent, rapidly rising in her profes-
sion. She sacrificed its triumphs for
his sake without a Sigh. There will

TRE FRENCH PRESIDENT,
FRANCE'S UNCROWNED KING
AT W ORIC AND PLAY.
Son of a Small Vineyard -owner,
Now the First Citizen
of France.
President Loubet is undoubtedly a
man of method aid a hard worker.
At half --past five in the morning he
is out of bed, summer and winter,
and at six is at his desk, after haw-
ing taken a cup of coffee and a woll-
baked ell. He works steadily
by
himself until seven, when his three
secretaries join him with the morn-
ing's post, which consists of (ram
7100 to 1,200 letters. These are
opened by his secretaries, and t.uch
es require official replies fire 'read to
the President, who dictates the an-
swers to a shorthand writer.
At eight he retires for breakfast
alone with Madame Loubet. This
is invariably a plain meal, the Pre-
sident braving 210 taste for 'the' elab-
orate dishes for which his bolmtry is
famous. The meal over he hurried-
ly scans the morning papers, anti at
nine o'clock returns to his desk to
finish bis correspondence.
At twelve o'clock lunch is served
and by this time his correspondence
is complete. The President allows
himself one hour for the midday
meal and then is at work again, this
time attending some State function
or receiving the many t'isiro•s who
call upon him. Dinner is ready at
seven o'clock to the minute, and is
served in the lofty dining -room at
the Elysee, overlooking the luxurious
grounds, The President has a groat
dislike to dining out, and prefers to
bo alone at the evening meal with
his wife, unless some guest has teen
honored with an invitation, Here
again the fare provided is very plain
and seldom consists of more than
three courses with
A LIITTLE LIGHT CLARET.
The rest of the evening the Pre.i-
dent devotes to his own amusement,
aaril either goes to the opera or
spenicls the time at home in reeding
playing the piano, or in a quiet
game of billiards, He is passionate-
ly fond of music, and Inas composed
several pieces of merit, anis sings
well; Madame Loubet likewise beteg
a proficient mnsicfan, lie is also a
student of French and English stan-
dard literature, and It is interesting
to know that he is a great admirer
of Shakespeare, stilton, anis Dryden.
Not many people can recite "Para-
dise Lost" from end to end, but
President Loubot is said to be one
of theta.
Ile entertains but little, and is not
fond of society of any kind. Ho is,
however, it great believer in the an-
nual holiday, and when he shakes
the 'dust of Paris from off 1115 feet
usually visits his old home at 1VIon-
telinr0r, or, goes shooting over bis
well -stocked coverts at Rombofillet.
Iso is a splendid shot, and when
clad in his shooting -jacket of dark
grey, with leather gaiters and peak-
ed cap, appears the man of the peop-
le lie unquestionably is. Et is also
a pugilist of some skill, and often
slelvds
an hoer
with
the gloves in
friendly contest with an old a0-
gnahntanco.
The President is not a rich: man,
but the quiet life he lends is in
keeping with his means. He receives
$120,000 a year for his services to
the State—not an exorbitant amount
considering the power he wields and
the extent • of the country over
which ho leas to 1•nlo. But, as he

t1 It was just ovor fifty years ago
s that two scientists first discovored
that the formentati011 which turns
glucose or sugar into alcohol and
carbonic acid is the work of living
organisms. These feri ant mierobos,
or yeasts, are of many different
kinds, though all arc extremely mi-
nute in size, Meer, wince, eider,
brandy, whisky, rind ail the various
alcoholic liquors known to nlaa, aro
manufactured by these tiny creatures
of which the growth is so rapid that
ono will bo the parent of thirty-five
thousand within forty-eight hours.
Parlour, tho great french chemist,
showed how greatly success in beer

It is a very peculiar fact about
the microbes that run breweries
that those which live and work on
the top of beer are quite different
from those which exist at the bot-
tom. The heavy British beers are
all the work of the "Top Fermenta-
tion Yeasts" ; the lighter German
and Austria» lagers aro the product
of the "Bottom Fermentation

Alcohol, however, is by no means
the only manufacture in which the

periment of taking microbes out of
a fermenting boap of fine West Indi-

poor Gorman tobacco, as if by
magic, was transformed into leaf

QUEENS IN THI7 DAIRY.
Writers on the private life of the
late Queen Victoria mover tire of
narrating hoe love for her dairy. The
dairy 110050 on the so-called Shaw
feet, a strong iron hoop or a series farm near Windsor castle is a beau -
of short connecting rods oxtenciing tifut str'uctut•e. 1t is of reit brick,
entirely around the wall. Eopeciu.1 finely proportioned, and tho inner
care must be taken in regard to this
around the doors, If the stlo is
made with a continuous door, rods
must be used frequently to prevent
spreading, flown at the level of the
fending floor the rods should be 6
feet apart, so that a man canwalk
through conveniently with a basket
of silage.
THE FOUNDATION,
If the silo is to bo made of stone
or grout extra care must be taken
with tho foundation. 11 the silo is
25 to 30 feet deep there will be all
immense pressure on the bottom of
a stone wall of this height. Should
the foundation settle much the wall
will crack and thus the air will enter
and spoil the silage near the wall
all of the distance from the crack to
the upper surface.
The bottom of the silo should bo
made by pounding in closely small
walls lined with vitrified tiles, The
fittings and intprot_ements aro of the
most approved medials, finished in
handsome style. Tt was the delight
of the good queen, when at Windsor,
to resort to this place with a fete of
her daughters or grand -daughters
and spend hours in the actual work
of butter -making, It is stated that
Queen Alexpncb'a tabes an equally
lively interest in the dairy, and she
and ilei daughters aro skilful practi-
cal butter -make's, This is quite na-
tural, as the Danes load the world in
dairying.

native home of the Holstein-Friesi-
ans—eclipses all of her royal sistors
