LOVE AND A SCRAP BOOK

(Continued.) further read that the court had denied the stay and had censured the hvwyer for bad practice m making such a re quest on such frivolous grounds. And she read moreover that thte prisoner, still asserting that he was not John Corkins, had actually been sentenced to the state prison to serve, for ton years. It was a technical sort of report, and she could not fully understand it. The reporter seemed to assume that the read er had seen a previous story of the trial, but she gained a general understanding from the few paragraphs, and as she read she wondered what it could all mean. Was it possible that this man- Daniel Fanning.'whom she— well, whom «he remembered, was a convict? Over and over again she read the brief Btory, and wondered as she read what it could possibly mean. It could not be I true, she thought, but even as she tried to think so stories came to her mind of innocent men who had suffered mis taken punishment, and she presently be gan to consider what she could do. And the eminently sensible suggestion came to her that she could at least find out about it. Fortanately it was early m the day, and she was within a few minutes m her carriage driving toward her lawyer's office. "Mr. Willwright," she said on enter ing, "I wish to know at once what this story means," and she handed him the slip. The old lawyer read the story care fully, and said without hesitation, "I should say that it means that the judge was entirely right m censuring that law yer for a very irregular motion." "Oh! bother the judge and his cen- Bure," exclaimed Miss Latimer impa tiently. "What I want to know ia whether that is Dr. Daniel Fanning who j has just been sentenced to the state | prison, or whether it is a burglar? I happen to know," and here she changed color ever so little, "that Dr. Fanning left the city some weeks ago." "Well," said Mr. Willwright, some what quizzically, "even that important fact is hardly a sufficient ground for as- Burning that he has been convicted for burglary under an assumed name m Illi nois." "Now please don't joke about it," Baid Miss Latimer. "Is it possible that such a terrible mistake should occur?" "Ye-es," replied the lawyer with some reluctance, "it is possible that such a thing might occur. Courts are human institutions and they do make mistakes Boinetimes. But it is highly improbable that it has really occurred." "Then I wish you would find out all about it at once," exclaimed Miss Lati mer. "Can yox let mo know to-day?" Mr. Willwright smiled indulgently. Miss Latimer was a good client, for he had charge of all her property and he could afford to humour her whims. "I imagine," he said pleasantly, "that I may learn m a week or two." Miss Latiiner's eyes flashed. "And leave an innocent man m prison a week or two! What is the tolegraph for? Won't you ask Mr. Play fair all about it and let me know?" "Certainly I will," said Mr. Will wright, dropping his playfulness when he saw how earnest his client was. "Shall I use your name m the inquiry?" he asked. "By no means," said Miss Latimer, blushing deeply this time. People sneered at Miss Latimer for betraying her feelings. They said it showed a lack ( of good breeding. Other people admired her all the more for it. A few hours later a messenger from Mr. Willwright's office brought her a long telegram from Playfair to Will wright m which the main facts of the case were recited. It concluded: "My client has insisted on retaining ad ditional coufißel, and on sending again to New York, but m view of the positive nature of the identification the clearest possible evidence will be necessary to upset it." This was true enough. Mr. Playfair had had a veiy unpleasant interview with his client after the trial. Fanning waa for a time almost beside himself with rage at the mismanagement of his case, but realizing the gravity of the situa tion had calmed himself, and instead of antagonizing Playfair had instructed him to continue the fight, only insisting that another lawyer should also be retained. He could do no more, placed as he was, and was now m a fever of anxiety waiting for evidence that should clear him on a new trial. Playfair's first mo tion had been made for delay, and an appeal had afterward been taken on technical grounds. ' The new evidence came sooner than he expected. When Miss Latimer read Dr. Sandringham's name she ordered her carriage again and was shortly m Ms office. She had known him all her life. That busy man was greatly disquieted by her questions. He remembered Play fair's visit at once, and the possibility that he had by constructive negligence been a party to an innocent man's con viction for crime was most painful. "Grod bless my soul!" he exclaimed m real distress. "Is it possible that such a mistake could be made?' "It seems impossible," replied Miss Latimer, "but it also saoms very much as though it had been jjiade," and she showed him Playfair's telegram. Suddenly as he reafi the old doctor exclaimed: "Corkins! Why, that ia the name of a man who was shot this morn ing by a policeman. He is dying now at Bellevue hospital." "Dying?" exclaimed Miss Latimer, aa excited as he at a coincidence that waa to her perfect confirmation of all her fears. "Then come with me at once." And before the doctor could collect him Belf sufficiently to remonstrate against going out m office hours he was m her carriage, and they were driving toward the hospital where he had seen the "in teresting case" a few hours before. was the John Corkins they were m eeaT«& of. He had been fully identified after he had been shot as the individual whose picture was m every rogues' gal lery m the country, and as Miss Latimer was led by the physician to the bedside of the man who had just died her heart Btood still for a moment. The resem blance was co strong that it seemsd fct (To be continued.)

MAYFIELD.

I From Our Own Correspondent. ; THE SEASON. During the past week rain and anew have fallen more or less every day. On Friday •a* hi especially it poured down uneeusingly, continuing throughout Saturday nd Sunday with very little break, and X iio not lemetn* bee ever having eeen so much snow lying along the foothills at >hia seußon of the year. It must tell very severely indeed on scrck m the ranges, especially if we get any ftost ab J nifht, which we are almost sure to do. Ihe earth ia now thoroughly soaked, and should warm weather come ac once an early spring will be the result. Already willow trees and fruit bushes are well out m leaf, and the wattle is one mass of orange blossoms, especially so iv Mr B&llantyne's plantations on Ruapuna road. THE BACHELORS' BALL. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the bachelors of May fit Id had to postpone their dnnce from Friday nighb to Tuesday, August 16, which was rather disappointing, as 'the musicians turned up from a long dis tance, and all the refreshments were got up m readiness. They hope, however, that the Clerk of ihe Weather will be more kindly on Tuesday night. BOIIOOL IMPBOrEMEKTS. The M&yfield School Committee hav Q deoided upon much needed improvement ß abont their school grounds, and the work i a now m the bands of a contractor, and the and the place already wears a more ship shape appearance, the swings and wire fences being repaired, and the gorße hedges ueat'y trimmed. There are now over fifty names cf children on the roll, and if only the attendance could be kept up to a certam standard for six mouths it would iusure a female assistant m the school. As it is, the teacher has at present more than his own share of work to psrform. Parents wouid do well to try to keep their children as con stantly as possible at school. lA.ND SALE. As already stated m your issue about ten days ago, a large slice of one of our local estates has changed hands from National Bank Mayfield estate to Mr A. J. Huston, late farming m Waterton district, at £4 10s per acre. He took possession last week, and at once started ploughing it np for crop;
