Ter with Charlie's unfortunate father, and for Charlie himself had always had so mnoh friendly interest that bo regarded his position, now that he* was to see him tried for his life as peculiarly pain ful, but not the less from all these con siderations was he resolved to judge the ease with the strictest justice, and no more mercy than he would have shown to the most wretehed outcast. So that his face was very set and stern when he took his place that morning in theThere judge's chair. The prosecuting attor ney was a sharp, shrewd man, resolved to make tho best ot a very pretty case, without fear or favor for any one. As for the prisoner's two counsel, Mr. Putnam and Mr. Gray, they both looked £raTe 8S both fully aware of the almost utter hopelessness of their cli ent's case. Poor Charlie! who can ever guess what he suffered during that long, bright September day He was very pale when they brought him in court, but his face had a noble look of calm resignation, and in his eyes there was the steady light of a high resolve. In answer to the judge's formal question as to whether he was guilty or not guity, his unhesitating reply of "Not guilt was pronounced in so clear and confident atone that it seemed to allgether, those present who believed in his inno cence, that the very accent of those words ought to carry a conviction of hia truth. Mr. Wentworth sat beside his son with an expression of hopeless suffering on his worn face that was per haps harder for Charlie to bear than anything else. Yet the whole thing most havo been inexpressibly trying to his high spirit to sit there exposed to the gaie of all those rude eyes under the terrible accusation of murder, and with the evidence of his apparent crim inality every moment growing stronger and more convincing. For the case against him was over whelming. Once more as before the grandjury, hia long dislike to Anthony, his threats against him, and their last quarrel were proven, then «ame- the identification of the cane, the finding of the body and the proofs of the wounds on the prisoner's hands when he was arrested. In opposition to allwondering this Charlie's counsel could bring ab solutely no evidence but that of char acter they had several witnesses of the best standing to testify to b:r high and noble qualities and their owi. on Tiction of his innocence, but wha „v that avail against the terrible array testimony against him. The case was not entirely closed that day, and after many long hours of tor ture Charlie was remanded to prison. It had been worse even than he hadWere thought it would be, the being brought in and out of court by the sheriff like a felon, and the horrible ignomy of his position, the weariness of tho slow questions and cross-questions, all ofhim. which seemed only to prove his guilt still more plainly, and the almost intol erable pain of seeing his father's an guish. It needed all his faithful con fidence in the goodness and justice of God, and the heroism of his devotion to Flora to sustain him through that long solitary evening, and enable him to meet the next day's ordeal with any fortitude. It was evident to all when he came in court the next morning that suffer ing was telling fast upon him, for heTempleton, looked haggard, almost despairing, and yet still not even now when the inevit able end was coming so fast would he aave himself by breaking his word and betraying the trust that Flora had re posed in him. The evidence on both sides was closed, and the prosecuting attorney made a short, brilliant but convincing speeeh to prove the prisoner's guilt, this was almost more than Charlie coufd hear, to hear himself deliberately de nounced as a murderer, his motives given, his violent passion painted, his conduct misrepresented, and his name covered with eternal infamy. More than once when some expression was used that was peculiarly insulting his father saw him clutch the side of his dock with a hand that grew white with the violence of the clutch, while his lips moved as if he most speak, then hia father's heart for a moment lighten ed with the hope that even now heasked might vindicate himself, but it all died away aa he dropped back in his seat with his face set in a look ofrigidde-constantly termination. After this Mr. Putnam rose to say what he could in the prisoner's defence. It was little enough, but the old gen tleman was doing his best, when there was a little bustle near him, and a messenger approached and handed him a note. He was annoyed at the inter ruption, and passed it over to Mr. Gray, the junior consel tore it open, and read these words, hastily scrawled: •Tray, let me speak to yon at once. I eaa prove Mr. Wentworta's innocence "FLORA LBROT TSMPLMOH." Mr. Gray changed color with de light, as he started up and forced the note on the attention of his senior. Mr. Putnam glanced at the contents and turned a beaming face to the sur prised court. "May it please your honor, an addi tional witness has just arrived. May I crave a moment's delsy to bring him inf". .•• ,,.y The permission was granted, and the good gentleman hurried out. He had "Mooune pronoun as safest, Wt knowing whether Flora could prove the fact herself, or give a clue to bring up some one else. Indeed, as he read the note, he scarcely knew who it was from, and it was only when he reached tho small side room where she waited, that he realized that the lady who had written it was the pretty widow he had that summer casually* met in society. FJora was deadly pale and worn with long trareliog. She had come direct ly from the station to the court without watting for a moment's refreshment «he could acarcoly speak. "Good Qodl Mra. TasapUtonl"- ex. ra'a pale ohooks, bat she answered unhoai elaimed Mr. Putman, as he met her wild, questioning look! XJ ., "He is not condemned—I am not too late!" she gasped, as she sprang for ward to meet him. "No, no indeed I I you oan save him, there is yet time." "Thank God! thank God!" cried Flora with inexpressible relief. "I was five hundred miles away when I heard it. I have' traveled day and night. was an accident last evening, I could not get a telegram sent, and I have been so afraid I was too late." ""No, my dear lady. But how can you help him Do vou know where ho was that night "Yes, Mr. Putman. He was with me:i»» "Ah! I soe it all," said Mr. Putman a little eagerly, as wishing to con the. ladv's confession. "What a noble fel low He would not listen to our en treaties to him to explain"how he spent that night. We have tried in vain to obtain every clue to where he was. would have died before he Would have spoken. But it is all right now, as you are willing to tell this." "Willing!" exclaimed Flora: "Do you think I care for appearance in a case like this Wo was out sailing to and were detained." And in a few rapid words she told the story of that night. Mr. Potman listened eagerly, and suggested at once that tho man from whom thej hired the boat could corroborate her statement. Flora told .where he, was to be found, and a message was despatched for Capf. Jones, while Flora returned with the lawyer to the court-room. W There had been muoh whispering and wondering at the lawyer's strange ab sence. Charlie had scarcely raised his head at the interruption, for Jhe knew only one thing could save him, and that he regarded as impossible. The delay, therefore, only annojed him, as prolong ing hia- torture. "His father, indeed, had looked eagerly, and Mr. Gray had given him a reassuring nod, but the time was growing long, and, the judge gave signs of impatience, when way wasmade through' the crowdfor the new witness, and, to the astonishment of the throng/Mrs. Templeton ap peared on the stand. Flora's face was radiantly lovely as she took her place, the color had come into her cheeks, and the light into her eyes, with the certainty that she could save her noble lover. As Charlie looked up at the bustle of her entrance, and saw before him the woman he so loved, the iood rushed to bis face, and he started to his feet with a half-suppressed cry. All the sorrow that he had endured to his heart repaid in, the rapture of the triumphant smile with which she met his guise, and the glad, grateful look that shone out in her eyes through the tears that filled them, in sympathy for Judge Balton was intensely amazed he looked at her through his spectacles, then he looked over them, and finally he took them entiriely off, and wiped them, as if he could not believe their evidence, that his niece, whom he had thought so far away, could appear here in the witness box. The oath was administered to Flora amid a dead silence, and Jhen Mr. Put man addressed her. "Will you bo kind enongh, Mrs. to tell us where you were on the evening of the twentieth of August last?" "I was out sailing with Mr. Went worth," replied Flora, unhesitatingly. Judge Balton leaned forward almost as it he were about to speak in denial of the statement.' Flora glanced up at him, and continued. "I was staying at my uncle Judge Balton's. Ho and my aunt were out at a dinner party at General Conrad's, when Mr. Wentworth came for me, so that I could not tell them of my ab sence. We took a boat from Captain Jones' and started about eight o'clock, intending to return by ten, but the wind died entirely down when we were about five miles from home., There was only one thole pin on board, and hepicion could use but one oar. It was very slow work. W did not reach the shore till after twelve." "You are sure of tho exact hour?" MrVPutman.i y\ £j ^'^M I' "Yes, sir for I was exceedingly an. noyed at being out so late, and looked at my watch." "I believe that will, do," said Mr. Putman, kindly, for he saw that Flora began to look very pale again underthe pain, of concentrated sure of all those eager'eyea. "One moment, if you please, Sirs. Templeton," interposed (he prosecuting attorney. ft t\t "Mr. Wentworth walked home with you, of course?" hnlitt rvn $W "Yes, sir/' "And, I supposo your friends at the house can corroborate your statement as to what time you reached there Flora colored as she heard the ques tion, and Charlie looked more pained than he had during all his own trial as he saw her suffering. "No, sir," she replied, after a mo ment. "There was no one up in the house.?' JS.J "Ah! Well, now, can you tell what time it was when he left you?" "Not quite on* o'elwkVM The attorney paused a moment, and Mr. Putman claimed the recall of the landlord of theUeach Hooie. JHrhnd already sent for him, and when he was placed on tho.stand ho had his question all ready. "Mr. Clark, will you please till is what time it was wh«nryou brought the body of Mr. Anthony into the house "A quarter before one." "Kowdoyou know?" demanded the prosecuting attorney. "Because I looked at the clock in the Office when I carried the body In there/' "Wow, Mrs. Templeton, will you bo kind enough to tell us whete Mr. Went worth 'was at a quarter to one?'" asked Mr. Putman. This time a deep orfmsonswept ever flcgl ST. CLOUD, tntlngly, "In my room." At this reply J««e* Dalton looked down with a stern frown, and Charlie again started to his feet. "Ab, be!'' sneered the attorney. "And where were you •Outside, air, on the lawn,'.' replied Flo r», witheool dignity. "When I reaohed home I thought it not worth while to dis turb any ono, and Mr. Wentworth went in to my room to get a chair by which to as sist me to climb in at tho window while he was gone I looked at my watoh, and it wasjust a quarter to one." •'Hum!" aaid tho prosecutor. "And how comes it that none of these nets ap peared before." •'Because I have been away in Canada, and never heard of the trial till day before yesterday and because Mr. Wentworth was so noble, that he Would not subject me of the suspicion of an imprudence, even to save hie life." "Then the prisoner is a very particular friend of yourst" suggested tho attorney* with a suspicious smile. This was too much, Charlie started up in his place again. "My Qod, Judge Dalton," he exclaimed, '•is not my innocence sufficiently proved to permit me to defend this lady from such in sults!" "The prisoner at the bar must respect the court," replied Judge Dalton, in a tone he in vain endeavored to make stern, but indeed his words were almost drowned in the murmurs of indignation against the at torney and admiration for Flora and Char lie. "I think you may go now, Mrs. Temple ton," Mr. Putnam said, offering her his arm when calmness was a little restored, and Flora went away with one more bright look of triumph at Charlie's now happy face. The crowd in the court-room could hard ly be restrained, and outside they would break out in cheers of delighf as she made her way through them to the carriage. "It will be all right now, Mrs. Temple ton. You have saved him," said Mr. Put nam, gleefully, as he handed her in, "he will come and tell you so himself this even ing." Flora dropped back oh the seat with a long sigh of relief as she drove away to her aunt's to astonish her with the strange sto ry, and seek the rest she so much needed. On his return to the court-room, Mr. Putnam had it all.his own. way. Captain Jones being put on the stand, testified that by reference to his book he found that one of his boats had indeed been out very late on the evening of the twentieth of August how late he could not say, as she had gone out a gentleman and lady early in the evening, and had not returned when he went to bed. One of the waiters of the ho tel had come down the next morning and paid him in the gentleman's name so hand somely that he never thought of "making any inquiries neither bad he thought much about who the gentleman was till this afternoon when he was sent for as a witness. Mr. Putnam's speech this time was very short, but exceedingly to the point he gave a brief outline of the facts of the sail, spoke of Charlie's having left his. cane at home, painted his anxiety to return on tho lady's account, and described his having blistered his hands in the endeavor, and how this fact had been turned to his disad vantage. He dwelt at some length on his high character that onght to have placed him above this suspicion spoke of his no ble self sacrifice in refusing to compromise a lady even to save his life and sat down amidjenthusiastie applause. His speech was brilliant enough, but if he had not said one word Charlie's cause would have been gained. As it was, the Jury brought in a unanimous verdict of "Not guUly," without leaving the box.— And as Charliewalked off a free man lean ing on his proud and happy father's arm, the crowd went fairly wild in the'jr enthu siastic cheers of the young hero. There is little after this to be added to my story. As Mr. Putnam had prophesied, Charlie went as soon as he was at liberty, to thank Flora for saving him but when she came down into the dim parlor and he saw the glad light in her beautiful eyes, every word of gratitude he had intended to utter was forgotten, and be only stretch ed outhis arms with the cry— "Flora, Flora, my darling, come to me, and make happy the life you have saved." Flora's reply is i.ot recorded, but that interview must have been entirely satisfac tory to all parties for when ah hour later they joined Judge and Mrs. Dalton, their faces were both so radiantly happy, that all traces of what they had suffered seemed to have vanished entirely Only one thing after this remained to make Charlie's vindication complete, and that was the discovery of the real murder er. This took place very shortly after wards when Thomas Brown was arrested various trifling circumstances pointed sus to him, and that suspicion when his movements that night was investigated be came certainty. The prosecuting attorney tried his case withthe same seat as the pre vious one, and made a capital point in his speech, in the description of the noble qualities of the heroic young man who had before been most unjustly tried for this crime This time the verdict of the jury was as unanimously against the prisoner as, in Charlie's case it had been for him, and the wretched manonly avoided suffer ing the penalty of bis crime by dying in prison of injuries received in an attempt to escape. As for Charlie and Flora, their happi ness was without a cloud and. in society that winter there was no bride and bride groom so brilliantly feted as these two who had So proved then* devotion to each other.
