One bv one the charges were read
■over. He, John Hentborn, stood
barged with having stolen a liaml-
gold watch, four other articles
f jewelry and some bank notes, from
Ebenezer (riant, commercial traveler;

..i that momeni, to be continuing its
ba-incss with the same eager roar as
wit, while lie stood on bis trial. He
had no fr iends ! Yes, lie had a dear
1:11io friend— his little sister, Lucy.
She v.as s'anding by, listening to the
1 risen who read over these charges,
in a hard, dry, matter-of-fact style,
ml then asked Iter brother—yes,
though she could hardly believe it, it
was her own brother John, who
wood there in the dock between two
policemen—asked bor bt other if bo
was guilty.
She listened eagerly for John’s re
ply. She saw his mouth open and
ways. He had sometimes communi
cated the first intelligence of an ap
palling accident, which he had been
fortunate enough to witness, tc- "ome
of the daily papers, and had received
a few sitilliligS for his trouble. Bat
bit by bit his little capital, the care
ful, hard-earned savings of a lefviiig
father, the vicar of a little country
living, dwindled away. He was
thinking, with his head between his
hands—thinking bitterly of his un
profitable life; he contrasted his own
position of compulsory idleness and
unavoidable gentility, with the indus
trious and grateful toil of the dny-
labcrer. He pictured the rough
handed man returning from his work,
tired, but not exhausted; the merry
faces and the hearty greeting—the
crowing children; and radiant-faced
wife. He then thought of himself,
Edmund Carew, returning to his
lonely chambers with pale face and
defected spirits; and Edmund Carew
was about to curse the day of his
birth, when a light finger was laid on
his elbow, and a face paler and sadder
than his looked up at him.
“Wifi you make the judge let my
brother off ?’
Who is your brother, little wo
man ?’
Now, by some means or other,
Edmund Carew’a ears had heard the
charges made against the lad in the
dock, and his memory had retained
the outlines of the case, though his
mind hid been occupied with be
moaning his own unhappy lot. He
looked up at the lad, and saw a fine,
manly looking young fellow confrcnt-
tlie whole court. In an instant
lesse n was taught to the lawyer.
Here was a youth, friendless in a
great city, and yet boldly keeping a
ood heart in the presence of a most
uslijng and cruel trial. The sight

barrister’s heart.
The judge spoke.

made his way into the court. He
now sat beside Edmund Carew; he
wore a large pair of gold Spectacles,
from beneath which beamed a pttir
of benevolent looking eyes. He never
looked about him, but kept his eyes
fixed on the witnesses, as one by one
they filed .in the box.
Edmund Carew ctoss-Cxamined the
witnesses for the prosecution. His
interest was roused; hk was working
for another; h a own troubles were
forgotfeen;~Dthere besides him were
friendless; it was new joy to him to
find some one whom he, helpless and
useless; could befriend. He threw
his whole mind into the case, and he
cross-examined with keenness and
vigor, and the parchment-faced at
torneys noded now and thefi at ohe

Finally; the barrister declared his

defence, and began by calling tipon
Mr. Blenking8opp.~~
When ME Blenkingsopp entered
the box, poor Johii Henthom gave
way altogether; he leaned forward,
buried his face in his hands and
sobbed; and Mr. Blenkitlsopp's voice
trembled a little as he described
himself as the senior partner ih the
firm of Blenkinsopp Fussell & Fudge!,
attorneys. He identified the watch,
and notes, and other articles ns his
own. He deposed to having them
given into tlie charge of the prisoner
on the afternoon of the day on which
the robbery alleged to have been
committed.
Would be tell the court the cir
cumstances under which he had en
trusted these ariiclcs to the prisoner?
Yes. He was summoned on the
a ko an ineffectual effort to form the
word; at length with a great gasp it
■came—“Not guilty."
I Little Lucy breathed more freely
Her little fiuger was upon her lips
her thin faco was-pnler than ever, but
her eyes wore bright and anxious—
no, not so much anxious as watchful
and eager. She knew now, for she
heard her brother speak—that John
was innocent; and thought she knew
—for she was nearly famished—how
sorely John might have been tempt
ed by necessity, yet John’s word Was
innocent.
John was innocent, but John must
be proved innocent. She knew that
the gentlemen ranged in rows before
the judge were all clever lawyers,
who could prove John had stolen
nothing; so she slipped down from
the crowd amongst which she was
standing, and, being so small, she
passed unobserved to the corner of
the lawyers’ seats. She watched all
their faces for a long time. Some of
them were busily engaged taming
over great masses of paper aud
parchment; others were sitting
moodily with their hands pressed
upon their foreheads, briefless bar
risters, who were meditating upon
the inequalities of the world, and
how it was that “that densely stupid
Frumblefrump has his hands full of
cases," and they who would beat his
head off at billiards or any other gen.
tlemanly employment," were left
briefless. Amongst these unhappy
and involuntarily idle barristers, was
one who had for fourteen years fre
quented the courts and never met
with that treasure—a brief. He had

Louise,

Fardon me, my lord,
murnl, rising, ‘Tlie prisoner Wrt.3 not
a ware, but I am instructed by bis
friends to undertake his defence.’
Hi? friends! John looked around
in amazement. His friends! yes, the
barrister had said his friends; but he
could not understand it; for lie could
not see his little Lucy standing by
the barrister’s side.
The case then commenced. The
counsel for the prosecution called his
witnesses. The claimant of the
articles, the waiter, the boots, and
the bar-maid at the inn, were all
called up to prove that John l ,Hen
thorn must have been the thief.
It appeared that John had been in
the habit of frequenting the ‘Blue
Boar/ in the hope of meeting with
some employment, as the ‘Blue Boar'
was a rendezvous for persons seeking
tutors, travelers, agentb, etc. The
claimant of the goods was described
as a commercial traveler; he had met
the prisoner at the inn, and had had
some conversation with him. He
deposed to having lost his watch and
other articles; he gave the number
of the notes, aud identified the
watch and other jewelry.
The boots, bar-maid and waiter
were called to prove that the first
witness had a watch when he arrived
at the ‘Bins Boar.* The waiter notic
ed it ‘perticler/ as the clock in the
commercial room had stopped, and
he had asked the gentleman to be so
good as to give him the ‘hexact 4 time.
The bar-maid proved that the com
mercial gentleman and the prisoner
had talked a long time together at
the bar; that the commercial gentle
man had taken a few glasses of spir
its, and had gone straight to bed,
after John had left the inn.
Was the commercial gentleman
intoxicated ?‘
“No, sir, not that; but he was
careless-like in his manner when he
bade the prisoner good night/
“When did the gentleman first
mention his* loss ?* y:.
“When he cam^flwn the next
morning.'
Police constable 11Z was eaHed to
prove that the watch and other jew
ehey were found by him at the prison
er's lodgings, No. 137 Little Zebedeo
6treet. .
While these witnesses were being

his n : ay to the place of meeting he

some lunch. Ho met the prisoner in
the common-room; got into conver
sation with liim. While there he
discovered that he had brought his
watbli, and notes of value, and some
few trinkets Hitli him; he had done
so unintentionally, as he had made it
an invariable rule to leave articles ©f
value behind him when he attended
public meetings; he gave them to the
prisoner to take charge of.
“Did you tell the prisoner your
name ?’
“No/
“How were you to receive ybiir
property ?
“I agreed to call at the prisoner’s
lodgings in Zebedee street/
“Did you call there ?'
“Yes; and learned from the land
lady that Mr. Henthom had been
arrested.
The counsel for the prosecution
here asked a question. “Excuse me,
Mr. Blenkinsopp, was it not rather a
foolish thing, to entrust such valuable
property to a total stranger? 1
“Not when you have studied men and
their faces as loDg as I have. An honest
man carries his character in his face.
The watchmaker was called to prove
that he had sold the watch to Mr.
Blenkinsopp about a month previously.
A clerk from Mr. Blenbinsopp’s office
was called to witness the numbers of the
notes which had been drawn from the
bank early on the day before the robbe
ry, and the numbers entered in his pri
vate pocket-book, according to custom.
Mr. Ubenezer Grant would gladly
have closed the trial at this stage, bat
his patience was doomed to a further
tnaL
An insptetof in the detective force
was called, and he gave evidence as to
the character of Ebenezer Grant, and in
the course of it, a slight history of the
commercial traveler’s career came to
light. He was a traveler, but the firm
for which he traveled was not to be
found in the directory. Before be left
the court be was arrested on more than
one charge, and there was some talk of
indicting him for perjury.
John Henthom was acquitted, of
coarse, and he and little Lncy, together
with Edmund Carew, were invited to
dine with old Mr. Blenkinsopp. And
then John Henthom told his story.
After receiving the watch and notes, he
remained at the “Bine Boar,” in the
hope of hearing of some employment.
While waiting, he met Mr. Ebenezer
Grant, who had been most affable, and
and most prodigal of his promises to
little
country town where they lived, and had
chafe up to town to seek their fortune,
and hdw all their little' fund was spent.
When the little dinner party broke tip’

That’s the text that came into my mind
when Mr. Blenkinsopp told me I could

wore himself out in trying to help
others, and how he always said that he
