People had come not only from the neighboring towns and districts but from London itself to be preâ€" sent at the hearing of this, the most sensational and romantic trial of the last decade. At an early hour the streets had been thronged, and at 11 o‘clock the carriages of the county famiâ€" lies had been compelled to make their way at a snail‘s pace through the dense crowd. At ten o‘clock Gerald Locke had asked for admission to the marâ€" quis‘ cell, and had found him dressâ€" ed and ready, and outwardly as calm on this morning on which his fateâ€"his life or deathâ€"would be decided, as he had been on the day of his arrest. "At my â€" requestâ€"right. I an quite satisfied and content, I de sire no better advocate. Well ?" "I know that and nothing more," said Gerald. "You hbave not assisted me by a single word!

You, knowing that I would give ten years of my life, my chance of happiness through all my life, to save you, have vouchsaied So numerous had been the appliâ€" cations for _ seatsâ€"for standing room evenâ€"in the small court house, and the high sheriff had found it necessary to issue tickets, and these had been fought for with an ardor which could not have been warmer if they had representâ€" ed a free admittance to paradise. Sergeant Lestiie had been inâ€" structed by the Treasury to apâ€" pear for the prosecution, and the fact that the Treasury had thought it necessary to send him down evinced the importance it attached to the case. A cordon of police, mounted and on foot, kept the approaches to the court house, and now and again their services were required to keep in order an impatient crowd angry at being denied admission to the court in which nearly every place had been allotted. At five minutes to eleven the High Sheriff‘s carriâ€" age was seen wendinogâ€"rather forecâ€" ingâ€"its way through the mob, and a cheer was raised as the whiteâ€" haired judge was seen at the winâ€" "Ah, Just so ; all depends, of course.

" Go, then, Gerald," he said. *" Do your best, butâ€"remember! save me if you can, but not at the expense of the innocent." With these words ringing in his ears, Gerald went out and put on his wig and gown and entered the court. Counsel for the accused as he was, he had to fight and force his way in, so great was the crowd. ols At eleven o‘clock the judge, in his ermine robe, entered, and made his way to the bench, and everybody stood up, the barrisâ€" ters making a low bow in response to his. e " Yes, all.

"Iâ€"May loves Elaineâ€"but though she were my sisterâ€"I repeat it !â€" though she were my sister, I should bring her into court if by producing her I could save you, my client!" _ " It was your fault that we bad not engaged Sir Charles, or Sir Edward1" exclaimed Gerald. The marquis smiled. * Neither could do more than you can,‘ he said, almost wearily, " and neither of them would have underâ€" stoodâ€"could have been my friend as you are. Be content, as I am." e "I cannot!" cried Gerald. "I canâ€" not hbelieve it. Why is she not bere ?" canâ€"but you cannot !" ** We shall see !" retorted Gerald beâ€" tween his teeth. "Is that all you have to say to me ?" " Have you not found her?" asked the marquis. * No," dnswered Gerald reluctantly. "Good!" said the marquis. " And you will not. Take my advice ; anyâ€" thing she could say would lose you your case, my friend. Do you hear? Now thenâ€"what is it ?" ‘"‘My poor friend, I hope your next client will give you less trouble. As for meâ€"â€"" He paused. "Well, I hopse your next client will also be less indifferent." i "I shall plead ‘Not guilty! for you," said Gerald doggedly. The marquis nodded. "As you please. Who is the judge ?" ‘"Rawlings," said Gerald. The marquis smiled sadly. "‘The hanging judge! My friend, everything is against you. And the counsel for the prosecution ?" . " Leslie. Bourne is il!." ; " Leslie!"‘ repeated the marquls, calmly and gravely. "A clever counâ€" sel. I met him once at a public dinâ€" ner. I wonder whether he will remember me? _ He is a foeman worthy of your steel, Gerald." _ _ The crowd stared at his thin, cadâ€" averous, deeply lined face curiously, and muttered comments upon it, unâ€" til the usher in his black gown rose, and demanding silence, made a quieâ€" tude for the clerk of the court to call upon "Ernest Edwynd, Marquis of Nairne." The marquis entered the dock, and, amid a sudden, dense silence, with every eye turned, fixed gimletâ€"like upon him, stood listening to the ‘"Do you plead guilty or not fl"t" ?n The marquis hesitated. All saw the hesitation ; then in a low, but clear voice, he said : "Not guillty !" The crowd dren breath of reâ€" lief. They had fear« i »â€"~ the moment ‘The colonelâ€"governor appeared at the doer of the cell. Gerald remained silent for a momâ€" ent or two, then he said : # "You plead ‘Not guilty?

He had no symâ€" pathy with criminals, and no mercy for them. Neither was he a respector of persons. To him, men and woâ€" men were alike. He dealt out that rare commodity, justice, with a fair and even hand, and without fear or favor. $ _*"Marquis, I _ entreat you! _ For your own sake, forâ€"for Elaine‘s, tell me the truth !"

"I suppose I should," assented the marquis, after a pause. "But nothâ€" ing can turn up, my poor Gerald. And this is your first brief! Never ( The marquis looked at him steadâ€" "I can tell you nothing," he said. "No, you wouldn‘t," o It brief! Never do you any Sergeant Leslie made a very plain opening speech. It was, he said, his painful duty to produce evidence against a peer of the realm of the heinous crime of murder. By not one unnecessary word would he weigh the case against the accused, nor would he endeavor to strain a single point for the prosecution, or refuse to admit a single point that might be argued for the defence. The truth, and the truth only, whether it resulited in the condemnation of the prisoner or his acquittal, must be the desire of all who that day took part in one of the most solemn functions that could fall to the lot of mortal man; and that the truth would be shown he had every faith and conviction, If she could have done so she would have kept away from the court, but sho dared not be absent from a scene at which every other person in the neighborhood would be preâ€" sent. Besides, she felt that it would be better for her to be there, and ascertain for herself whether there was any likelihood of her share in the night‘s work being discovered. Bhe, like the marquis, glanced round the court as she entered and took her seat, but she could not see Fanny Inchley, for whom her eyes were seeking. _ 3 T < . May Bradley had secured a seat beside her father at the solicitore‘ table, and as the marquis stepped into the dock the tears sprang to her eyes, and sne began to tremble as she thought 1 " If Elaine were here, this would kill her !" That one sweeping glance had skown him all the faces familiar to him. On, or near, the bench sat Lady Dorman and Lady Bannister, Miss Luilwood and several other liadies were seated behind the jury box. At the solicitors‘ table was Sir Edmund and Mr. Luiwood and Mr. Bradley. Ingram had managed to fight his way to a spot close beneath the dock, and stood there with folded arms, as if proclaiming, by his atâ€" titude, his belief in his master‘s inâ€" pocence; and just below the dock sat Luigi Zanti. He had begged them to place him as near his protector and friend as they could and, pityâ€" ing his blindness and grief, they had placed a chair within reach of the marquis‘ hand if he should chance to lean over. r The marquis failed to see Lady Blanche. She was seated beside Lady Bannister, but had leaned back as if to screen hersell. She wore a veil, beneath which her face was deathly white. 1 London Free Preoss.

Here is a bit of strong proo{ that Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pille bring health and strength after years ol sullering. Mr. Louis Brien is a wellâ€"known resident of St. Didace, Que.,. and tells of his years of suffering as follows: "Eleâ€" even years ago, while working in the bush, I strained mysell and brought on terrible pains in m.;. stomach and back, where the trouble to locate. I had frequent fits of vomiting, which caused much disâ€" tress. Sometimes 1 could work, and then again for months at a time 14 would be wholly unable to do anyâ€" thing ; but even at the time I could work I was always sulfering. At different times I was treated by, three doctors ,but they were unable to help me. Then T went to Monâ€" treal and put mysell under the care of a doctor there.

All this time I was growing weaker and less able to resist the inroads of the trouâ€" ble. Then Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pille were brought to my notice, and I began to regain my health and by the time I had used thirtecen boxes I was once more a well, strong man. The proof of this is that L pan do as bard a day‘s work as anyone and never have the slightest symptoms of the old trouble.

A crossâ€"piece about two feet long is nailed on the top ol the standard. These crossâ€" beads are then placed along the line of the ditch, so that the cross pleces are in line. The proper grade i# ascertained by the use ol the orâ€" dinary spirit level. When ready to lay the tille a standard should be set at the bottom of the drain and marked in line with the tops of the crossâ€"heads ; this will, by testing evâ€" ery few feot, give a true grade for the tiles. i LAYING THE TILE.â€"When the botâ€" tom of the drain has been brought GRADING.â€"As a rule drains should be given as much fall as possible, and the gradient should not be less than two inches in one hundred feet, if this can be secured. Careâ€" {ful leveling is necessary to ensure & uniform falll throughout the course of a drain. As a simpe method for this purpose, one of our leading auâ€" thorities necommends the ditcher to use several crossâ€"heads made {rom strips of oneâ€"inch boards, three or four inclmes wide. The length of the standard varies according to the the same track with an ordiaary plow. Then the subsoil may be broken up with a good strong subâ€" Boil plow.

The size to be used can only be decided by a study of the conditions under which the drain is to work. They should be large enough to carry off in 24 to 48 bhours the surplus water from the heaviest rains, but it is imâ€" portant that they should not be too large, as the cost of underâ€" draining is governed largely by the size of the tile used. It may be mentioned that the capacity of round water pipes is in proportion to the squares of their diameters, That is, under the same conditions, a twoâ€"inch pipe will carry four times as much water, and a threeâ€" Inch pipe nine times as much waâ€" ter as a oneâ€"inch pipe,. In fact, the larger pipe will carry even more than this proportion, because of the greater friction in the small pipe. In ordinary cases, five or sixâ€" inch tiles are recommended for the lower part of a main drain and fourâ€"Inch for the upper portion ; for the branches, two and a half to threeâ€"inch are preferable. DEPTH AND DISTANCE APART. It is seldom necessury to lay draing more than four feet below the surâ€" face, and in nost cases two and a haif to three and a half feet will be found suflicient. The proper dis tance between branch drains deâ€" pends on the quantity of water to be carried and the nature of the subâ€" woil. In general practice the lines of tile are usually placed from filty to one hundred feet apart. In a tenpacious clay soil, however, thirty feet would not be too close.

In this country glazed sewer pipe or glazed drain tile may be used to advantage for the last ten or fifteen feet© to prevent injury by frost. In cloclni‘ it may be well to recall the fact that trees shou‘d not be allowed to grow near a line of lile, through which water flows during the greater part of the year, as the roots are apt to enter at the joints in search of water, and in course of time close the drain. Wilâ€" lows, poplars and eims are particeâ€" larly objectionable in this respect. Yourse very truly, W. A. Clemons, Publication Clerk. What is probably the largest sum paid for a sermon in the world every year goes into the pocket of some lucky German preacher, and amounts to £720. In 1690 a wealthy French baron named Favart, who resided in Elberfeld, died and bequeathed bis riches to the Protestant Church there on the condition that it should be invested and the interest given annually to some clergyman chosen haphazard from those holding the poorest livings in the See, on conâ€" dition that he preached a short serâ€"« mon extolling the baron‘s good deeds. It is generally Gelivered on the firat Sunday in June after the usual mornâ€" ing service, ard being of hall an hour‘s Gquration amounts to £24 a minute. t Although the preacher benefits byt little, the sermon preached at 6t, Giles Church in the city in memory of one Charles Langley every year is very richly endowed. ‘The church Is filled with poor people, and amongst the congregation the sam of £840 in clothes and money is afterâ€" wardsâ€"distributed, the clergyman reoâ€" ceiving £2 and each of the churchwarâ€" dena 10s.â€"Titâ€"Bits MA carefully on each tile as laid. In covâ€" a large sum of money to the Habâ€" erdashers‘ Company, stipulating that ‘the interest was to be given to the preacher of the best sermon within the radius mentioned. _ As this was a somewhiat difficult matâ€" ter to determine it was decided to distribute £250 out of the £400, which the interest amounts to, among clergymen of the East end, and the balance given to the preacher of the "Golden Sermon," which is never delivered twice in the same church. Although this is the highest price paid to any individual for a serâ€" mon in this country, preaching at the rate of a guinea a minute is anything but unremunerative. On the anniversary of the late Queen Victoria‘s session every year & sermon is delivered in Durham, Cathedral, which must not be of more than a quarter of an bour‘s duration. For this the preacher receives sixteen guineas, but there is nothing to show, how the cusâ€" tom originated. _ _ BR Not many people know the meanâ€" Ing of the "Lion" thanksgiving serâ€" mon, which is preached in the Church of Bt. Catherine Cree im Leadenhall Btreet every year. In the weventeenth century Sir John Sayer, then Lord Mayor of London, was traveling in the east, when he had a miraculous escape from beâ€" Ing killed by a lion. On his returnp he ordered that a thanksgiving serâ€" mon should be preached every year, and set aside a sum of money, the interest on which was to be given to the poor, while the preach« er retained «what he considered & fair price for his sermon. _ For a sermon «[ ten unnutes‘ durâ€" tion £150 must be considered an excellent price, and this sum is pald every year for what is known as the "Golden Sermon," which may be preached in any church within a sixâ€"mile radius of the Haberdast erg‘ Hall.
