CHAPTER XLIA.- (Cont'd.)
"Your honor," the district attorney
blurted, "I fail to see what ,bearing
s
vent and immaterial to say the least -
of it."
The hurt indignation in the prose-
cutor's voice failed to win any res-
ponse from the angular, unmoved face
of the judge.

The expression :on Graham's nat-
urally sunny countenance was,altnost
comically disconsolate. He looked as`
acutely uncomfortably as a .dog who

His reproachful gaze flickers for a
moment acooss . the inscrutable face
of the judge. Very evidently the de-
fence 'attorney considered that 'a.

on him -which he didn't. deserve; -but
he wisely decided to let bad enough

In some subtle fashion the angles
of the judge's face had lest some of

"Take your time. Mr. Orme. The
