never will ask yen what you think.
He’ll simply aBk. you what you did.
or said, or heard said; he may not
put you on the stand at all. Now
Just calm down. Take things easy.
And you let us have Tommy. LIzsie
adores the kid—we both do. And
he'll be out of the way of the whole
thing. Get me?"
“I get you r she smiled, a little
sadly, And as she returned his kiss.
«< you maybe married tonight?”
“Will be!”
“It seems so strange, Joe.” She
went with to the door of her
room. “Not what I thought my
little brother’s wedding day would
bat" she said.
"Nor I,” he answered gravely.
She thought he looked all a hoy as
he walked away, and turned at the
stairhead to wave hla hand st her.
A few minutes later Gibbs came
up, and Ellen lighted the flame
under the spirit-lamp, and made
Mm fresh tea. He looked tired
and III, but he smiled at her grate
fully as she gave him the steaming
cup.
There was a knock at the-door,
but he did not seem to hear It.
He had dropped his handsome head
against the chair-back, and closed
his dark, shadow-rlmroed eyes. “It
will seem good to get out of this,
and get the little scout again, and
go off out of the range of newspa
pers and cameras, won’t it?’’ he
naked. “I was thinking we might
take the roadster and go South—
Florida, maybe, or Atlanta.’’
Ellen’s color rushed up, the
vision of escape from all this hor
ror had set her blood to dancing.
The open road again, Gibbs and
Tommy, meals here and there and
everywhere—
Another knock at the door. Glbba
heard this one, and turned ques
tioning eyes toward It.
“Stay where you are 1” Ellen
commanded. She went to the door.
Gibbs heard one whispered word
of protest and horror, and got to
hts feet, the color draining from
his face. He saw George’s grate
face, and another face or two In the
background. In the foreground,
their eyes sweeping the room quick
ly. were two blue-coated officers.
T HE lyp for trial the of -.nirder T? )ornf y} oUals Qibbs father Josse-
GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS
was naturally the journalistic uabit
of the day. The social standing of
the family, the mystery surround
ing the mnrder, the odd relation
ship of the man and the two women,
all of these things were Incalcu
lably valuable to city editors every
where.
Presently the will of the mur
dered man was filed, and caused Its
own sensation. After the bequests
to servants and charities, and the
gifts to old friends, the widow
was to have her handsome allow
ance, payable unless she remarried,
throughout her life, besides her
country home at Wheatley Hllla,
and all It contained. To the eon
certain books and specified silver
and jewels were bequeathed, and a
moderate sum was to be held In
trust for the little grandson.
All the rest went to the daugh
ter-in-law. More than that, should
Lillian remarry, the was to be
given a lump sum, the remainder
of her fortune to revert to Ellen.
Ellen heard it all vaguely; she waa
not thinking of money in these days.
She did not read the papers that
shrieked between the two oceans
that old Thomas Josselyn had
trusted her above hla wife or hla
bob.
The trial was set for the first
week of the new year, and to Gibbs
and to Ellen as well, much as she
had dreaded It, It came as a relief.
She bad visited him every day, in
hla cell at the Mlneola jail, and
what those visits had cost her, only
Ellen knew.
Every day she must nerve herself
afresh to enter Into the stale, cold
air, and must pass the clanking
doors and the watching afresh ev es. She
must nerve herself for the
sight of him. thin, despondent, dis
honored. She must breathe the
suffocating moral atmosphere that
surrounds the offenders, the human
who is felt by other humans to be
dangerous. She must talk to him,
and yet not talk of the hideous
cloud that pressed so close over
him, and the hideous fright on
their hearts that made them both
afraid they would go mad.
She kept him supplied with
books, and sometimes made him
read aloud to her. George was
often with him, full of confidence
and courage.
Empty as they were, these hours
at the Jail were Ellen’s life. Other
wise she was hardly conscious
that she lived at all. She sat by
the fire with her aunt, in the eve
ning, raising wltn the busy, kind
ly woman and the old captain, but
not knowing what she said. She
wrote her nightly letter to Joe or
Lizzie, with a scalloped kiss for
the boy, and went early to bed. She
rose early, and joined the old peo
ple at breakfast. Then she aired
her room, and made her bed, and
by that time the little closed car
was at the door, with Torrens at
the wheel. Closely veiled, al
though she was really Indifferent
to staring eyes and snapping cam
eras, she slipped Into the car
and was on her way to Gibbs.
Sometimes alone, or with George,
she lunched In the neighborhood of
the Jail, and went back to It Imme
diately. Always she saw her hus
band twice a day, and was back In
Port Washington In time to d
the paper to the old captain before
dinner.-—- --———
Mary Cutter, the doctor’s lovely
daughter-in-law, had taken It upon
herself to befriend Ellen, and dur
ing these terrible days she had"
never failed her. And when the
trial began she was always at El
len’s side. George called at the
Main street house on the first
morning, and Mary met them at the
courthouse.
Ellen had never been In a court
room before, but she said to her
self: “That’s the Jury-box—that’s
the witness stand,” even with her
first aulek glance.
CTO BE CONTINUED.!
Charged with burning the feet
of John Lovett, an aged negro
man at the railroad station, four
