And suddenly she slipped to her

hands. “Oh, my God, I thank Thee!"

“THE BANK WHERE YOU FEEL AT HOME”
she clasped his uu.nas, ana looxea
with wet eyes into his face. She
was sobs that trying to laugh through the
racked her.
“You didn’t do it—my darling! I
shs said again and again. “You
didn’t do It—I always knew that
you didn’t!”
“But, Ellen,” he said, holding her
tightly, and almost dazed by her
vehemence, “you didn’t think that I
did It, dear?"
-“No- I didn’t think sol” sheen
sobbing more quietly, and interrupt:
ing herself to laugh, and to press
her wet face against his for one
of her quick kisses. “But, Gibbs.
I’ve thirsted «o to have you tell
me Just that—I needed your word
to help me! I felt as If I was all
alone! Now—now It’s all so dif
erent! I don’t mind anything
now. ” She laughed again,
broke Into quick tears, and burled
her face against his shoulder. 'Tin
so happy 1” she sobbed. “L-l-let me
cry, Gibbs. I'm crying because I
feel so much happier 1”
Abruptly she stopped. A bewil
dered look was in her eyes as she
drew herself away from him, and
faced him still holding his arms.
She stared blankly at him for a
moment; then the clear brows met
In a puzzled frown.
“Gibbs,” she said In a whisper,
"who did }tf"
CHAPTER XVI
W HO did it? The question
burned like a fever In Ellen’s
veins, and her passionate determi
nation to answer it swept all lesser
consideration from her mind. She
could face anything now. Some
body, other than Gibbs, had fired
that shot. And she was Gibbs’ wife,
and she was free to search and
hunt, and study the strange facts
surrounding old Thomas Josselyn’s
death, Until somehow, somewhere,
her hand fell upon the thread that
should lead her to the truth. Her
simple faith that the truth must
come to light helped them all.
“If we could find some one who
saw Gibbs on that walk that
night!” George said.
“We will!” Ellen assured him
confidently. “Gibbs,” she added,
tightening the hand that lay over
her own, “don’t you feel 1 t? Don’t
you know that you and I will look
back at this some time as a dark,
hideous dream? I know It!”
And yet she turned dizzy when
an officer coming quietly to the
door cell announced that the jury
had found a verdict. She put her
hand on Gibbs’ shoulder and raised
her ashen face for his .kiss. They
had time for no words, even if
there had been words to say. Blind
ly Ellen followed George to the
courtroom. With quick efficiency
the officials were filling their places.
The faithful newspaper men, their
dinners left to cool, hurried in.
It was seven o’clock; the cold
February, dark had closed down
hours ago. The courtroom was
brightly lighted, and warm. His
honor, who had also been dining,
came in. He had addressed this
same jury in his kind, wise voice
five hourR ago. After Ryan’s furious
tones he had seemed all temperance
ana justice, to Ellen. He had
charged them that If there was a
reasonable doubt as to whether the
ertme of murder In th£ first degree
had been committed, they were In
duty bound to give the prisoner the
benefit of the doubt, and to find for
murder In the second degree, or
manslaughter.
Now the old man looked benignly
over his glasses at the twelve tired
men who filed back Into the box.
And Ellen looked from face to face
with agonized surmise.
The blow fell with merctftil
qulckoeas. It was only a few min
utes before the whole thing was
over. Gibbs preserved the quiet dig
nity of manner that had marked
him all through the trial. If a sick
ening fear of the future swept over
him he gave no sign of It. He
looked with concern toward his
wife, but Ellen had mercifully lost
consciousness and had quietly
dropped against George’s shoulder.
She recovered immediately, and
they saw Gibbs again; V criminal
now, convicted of murder In the
second degree. All the freedom of
their recent intercourse would be
ended; she had foreseen that.
What else had she foreseen? The In
dignities of shaven head and striped
clothes, the filth and ugliness of
prison, the locked cell door, the
ferrlble atmosphere that surrounds
men for whom there is no place in
the green world!
But she came up to him smiling.
“We expected that, sweetheart,
didn’t we? It doesn’t matter. You
didn’t do it, and it will ail come
right spme day. Try not to think
of It now—-think of the time to
come. Just lift yourself out of all
this—”
“Oh, we’ll make a fight of it!"
George added. Immediately after
ward he took Ellen away.
They went to the Port Washing
ton house, and George came in to
talk to her aunt and grandfather.
Ellen hardly spoke. She went to
the door, to say good night to him,

Griffin Circuit
Notes
By Rev. B. L. Betts
(By Rev. B. L. Betts.)
There is a society to be organ
ized in each of the six churches
composing the Griffin circuit. Un
less necessity call!, there will be
no regular meetings. The mem
bership will not be burdened with
the responsibility that is found in
other organizations. Our fathers
can easily envy us whose privilege
in the Golden Cross Society is
great.
This society, based upon the
plan of annual memberships, shall
be maintained for the purpose of
interesting the entire membership
of our church in the work of
building and sustaining hospitals
and in raising funds annually un
der the direction of the hospital
board.
Within the bounds of our own
conference is the Wesley Memorial
hospital, which is supported by
the Golden Cross Society. Last
year it gave the poor sufferers
of the Griffin district $829.90 in
hospital treatment, and paid more
attention to the sufferers’ condi
tion than his denomination.
Membership in this society
takes the place of the Christian
collection in other days. Everyone
as he is able may contribute the
amount that will determine his
degree.
Junior 25c; student 50c; adult
$ 1 . 00 ; active $5.00; supporting
$1.00; sustaining $25.00; service
$50.00; comrade of the Golden
Cross $100.00, life membership
4500.00; life patron, $1,000.00;
knight of the Golden Cross, $10.
000 . <
Catholic influence is largelj
felt because it recognizes the
value of hospitals in spreading
their propaganda.
Let every superintendent
teacher enroll as many members
possible on Sunday morning.

BACKACHE AWAY
Kidneys cause backache! No!
Listen! Your backache is caused
by lumbago, sciatica or a strain,
and the quickest relief is sooth
ing, penetrating St. Jacobs Oil.
Rutf it right on your painful back,
and instantly the soreness, stiff
ness and lameness disappears.
Don’t stay crippled. Get a small
trial bottle of St. Jacobs Oil from
your druggist and limber up. A
moment after it is applied you’ll
wonder what became of the back
ache or lumbago.
Rub old, honest St, Jacobs Oil
whenever you have sciatica, neu
ralgia, rheumatism or sprains, as
it is absolutely harmless and
doesn’t burn the skin.
