Rev. Dr. Pullman, of Bridgeport, in

MISSING EVIDENCE. ’
On a cold December night some 20 years
ago, wbcntbe earth was bound in a black
frost and the bitter wind blew strong and
shrilly, I was returning from spending
the evening at a friend's house, situated
some three or four miles out of town. The
sky was so black, the country lanes were
so dark, that I was truly thankful when
the scattered lights of an outlying suburb
began to twinkle in the distance, and it
was witha sigh of relief that I stopped
under the first lumpth 1 came to and
lookedat my watch.
It was no easy task, for the lamp glass
had a pane broken, and the strong wind
blew the glass in all directions and almost
extinguished it. I read the time, at least
—three minutes to 12-—and looking up
from my watch face I started to see a
man standing opposite me. I had heard
nothing of his approach. We looked at
each other but for a moment, yet it was
time sufficient to imprint his features in
delibly on my memory.
A tall, shabby mall, in n threadbare
black frock coat and a sandy tall but, his
face lantern jawed and sullow, his eyes
sunken and losterlcss. his beard long and
ill trimmed—in a tone of elaborate civil-
ity he asked lllC the time, thanked mu for
the answer, and, giving me “(loud night, "
passed away into tbu black darkness,
which seemed to iugulf him like a grow.
I turned for a moment to think of his
lonely walk in tint grim obscurity and
resumed my way homcu'nrd, laughing :at

There were twu fast trains Mina-hum in

haw some two hours to wait. it” I found
myself shortly in a first clam compartment
speeding away toward my destination.
The carriage was full. l’lpes exhaled
their fragrance, newspapers were turned
and flattened. and there was that leisurely

“All evidem is am or‘ lbs eireaw

“and this man is as clearly guilty in my

deed. That‘s my opinion, Heywood.’.l
And the oracle disappeared behind the
newspaper.
Feeling glad to diam-tor an! topic that
would diVert my thoughts from their
gloomy forebodings, I addressed myself to
Heywood. the. young barrister, with whom
1 bad a slight uaintance.
“You seem grab interested in this trial
that is going on,” 1 said. ”May I ask if
you are engaged on it?”
”No," he answered. ”But it is a curi-
ous case. A man, a clerk dismissed from
his employment, is accused of murdering
the cashier of the firm. The evidence
against him is entirely circumstantial, but
the defense broke down at the most crit-
ical point, and the case looks very black
for the prisoner."
‘ The train was now slockenlngspeed, and
there was a general rising to go. I rose
too. '
“Are you going to get out here?" Mr.
Heywood asked, opening the door as we
glided into the station. “Have you come
down so early on business?”
“Yes,” I said, wishing to goodness I
knew what the immediate business was.
“Nothing very urgent, though,” I added,
half to myself, as I got. out.
“if you have the time to spare, you had
better turn in and hear the end of the
trial," said Heywood. “The court will be
crowdetl‘witb ladies, no doubt, but I can
smuggle you into a corner."
Mt knowing in the very least what I
should do with myself for the next two
hours, I accepted the offer with gratitude.
I was soon seated in an obscure corner of
a dingy, ill lighted, ill ventilated court-
house. which would have beenill smelling.
too, bad it not been for the scent waftcd
from the numerous ladies who were pres-
out.
()no of these, a buxom female obstruc-
tion who'ought to have known better, was
just in froutof mo and blocked my view
with an enormous bonnet. I could not see
the prisoner or his counsel. or oven the
clock over his head, at which the people
kept looking eagerly as the hour for tho
