LOVE AND A SCRAP BOOK.

(Continued.) his acquittal yet entered his mind. To gave bail was impossible without send ing to New York, and he was reluctant to apply to anj* of his acquaintances for such a favor. Possibly it would be use less to do so. A bondsman would have to own real estate m the county, he re membered. But when the case should come to trial there would be no difficulty surely m establishing his identity. Mean time it would be well to secure a lawyer, •s the judge had intimated. He did so, but the result of his first in terview with Mr. Playf air, who was rec ■ ommended to him, was that that gentle man, having talked with the police be fore he saw Fanning, decided m his own mind that he had a criminal, and a remarkably foolish one, for a client. He hinted as much after he had ques tioned Fanning. "Remember," he said, "that it is the worst possible policy to conceal anything from your counsel." Thereat Fanning flew m a rage— a most uncommon thing for him to do — and came near quarreling with his best and only friend, though he was only a hired attorney. However, Playf air apolo gized—for he had pocketed a very liberal fee^ — and smoothed his client down by promising to exert himself and do the very best he could. To do him justice, he really intended to do the best he could — for himself. He had no hope of clear ing his client, but at least he could get considerable money out of him. It so happened that he wanted to go to New York on some business of his own, and he suggested— partly to try his client's sincerity, but also with an eye to person al thrift— that if his expenses were paid he would go himself and bring back one or two witnesses who would testify to Farming's identity. The philosophical reader will perceive two simple but invaluable morals m what followed. First, that when jus tice is dependent upon legal processes it will not do to neglect one point of proof, no matter how insignificant it may seem or how overwhelming other evidence may be. The second is that circumstantial evidence is not worth the trouble of remembeiing, if it can, on any hypothesis whatever; be interpreted m more than one way. Innocent men have been hanged on circumstantial evidence, because the true explanation of the cir cumstances seemed far fetched and un reasonable. And how should this not be bo when circumstances happened as they did to convict Fanning? Yes, he would send Playf air to New York certainly, and would pay his ex penses, and be indebted greatly to him for going. It happened that on starting on his travels he had closed his bank ac count, drawing out almost $4,000, and he had nearly the whole amount witb kirn when he was arrested, a fact which told against him afterward. Money was of little value to him m comparison with the establishment of his innocence, and he unhesitatingly counted out as much as Playfair asked for, seeing which the latter instantly reproached himself for the last time m his life for not asking for more. He contented himself, how ever, with the thought tbat the case was still young, and asked for instructions as to how he should proceed when he reached New York. Fanning reflected for a few moments. Then he said: "Naturally 1 do not want the story of this thing to get about. It will be enough if you go to Dr. Sandring ham and to Mi*. James Friend. The doctor knows me professionally and Mr. Friend has charge of some business m- ' terests of mine. I will write letters to them and you can explain the case fully." "Would it not be well to take your photograph also?" suggested Playfair. "I never had a photograph taken," said Fans-ing. "We can have one taken easily enough," said the other. "What possible necessity is there for that?" asked Fanning. "The letters will be enough." The photograph, therefore, which might very probably have changed the whole current of affairs afterward was not taken, and Playfair, after two or three more interviews with his client and after arranging with the district at torney for a trial within a month's time, started for New York. Fanning, left to himself m a most dis agreeable predicament, summoned all his philosophy to his aid, and succeeded fairly well m reconciling hi_us§lf to the situation. He had always prided him self on his philosophy, and felt a thrill of gratified vanity m finding that it was serviceable stuff and not mere theory. "I am m prison, it is true," he reason ed, "but luckily it is for no fault of my own, therefore no disgrace really at- taches to tbe fact, and the seeming dis grace will soon be wiped away. There is no one on earth who will suffer any pain or suspense on my account, and for this once I can congratulate myself- on the fact that I am entirely alone m the world. Meantime a montti is taken out of my life. Or is it really so? I am having a disagreeable experience, but after all it is an experience, and I can make it serve m the development of character if I choose." He did so choose, and spent the time studying and meditating. He was al lowed to use his own money, and lived well at exorbitant prices, besides getting the use of what few books he wanted, for the jail servants were ready to do almost anything for him so long as he paid them. As the day of his trial drew near, however, he began to be very appre hensive. He had only heard once from his lawyer, having received a single letter from him, written on the day of his arrival m New York, and of course containing no information beyond tbe announcement of arrival. He was se riously angry and even a little worried by this outrageous neglect, but when ho sent a letter to Mr. Playfair's office to make inquiries, that gentleman's clerk called at the jail, and informed him that he bad just received a letter from his principal m which the latter said tbat everything was progressing favor ably, but that he had been detained t longer than be expected to be. He would certainly return, however, m time for Dr. Farming's trial. It was very *an- Bat_sfactory» but Fanning did not sea 1 (To be continued.) i
