"But It's cream," meld Lady Bligh, good-tbtturesdiy, pausing with the Dream-j'ig in the air." "The memo thing," returned (lladys.

It sus another rattier awkward moment, for it did seen as though Gladys was 'disagreeably independ- ent.

For, on thinking It over, it seemed to Gladys that, with relation to thio Bush, nothing could interest a Judge so much as the manner of administering the law there, whlolt she knew something about.

He had not to waft long., Gladys feared Oho had expressed herself badly, and quickly tried again. "What I meant is -Sir James -do you otttui have to go and put on the black bap, and sentence poor unfortunate people to be hung? liecauec that mat be very trice, Sir Jamce-is dt?" A faint flush mounted Into the Judge's pule cheeks. "It is not of frequent occurrence," he said stiffly.

There were only four people there; the sergeant, who was Jailer and wit- m+ss art well, father, the prleoner, teal me ; I looked on." "Is your fattier a member of the Colonial Bar ?"
