"Dear old Norn," she thought with a returning glow. "They can't scare her, bless her heart!" Patricia, at the mirror, paused in the act of pinning on her hat, her eyes riveted on the vision in dull green. "Yes, he is quite innocent. He did not take the devil-stick.".

At this moment Geoffrey comes into the room and up to Mona. He takes no notice whatever of her companion, "Mona, will you come and sing us something?" he says, as naturally as though the room is empty.

It is ten days later,—ten dreary, interminable days, that have struggled into light, and sunk back again into darkness, leaving no trace worthy of remembrance in their train.

Naturally the tragic end of the counsel for the defense created a great sensation. The trial was brought to an abrupt conclusion, the court was cleared, and the body of the dead man taken to the residence of Major Jen.
