Mrs. Unpercuirr, having read the re- ports, avoided Helen’s eye (another bad sign). She turned to Mr. Undercliff, and, probably because the perusal of the reports had disappointed her, said, almost angrily: ‘Edward, what did you say to make them laugh at that trial? Both these papers say that ‘an expert was called, whose ingenuity made the court smile. but did not counter- balance the evidence.’ ’
‘Why, that is a falsehood on the face of it, said the expert, turning red. ‘I was called simply and solely to prove Penfold did not write the forged note; I proved it to the judge’s satisfaction, and he directed the prisoner to be acquitted on that count. Miss Rolleston, the lawyers often do sneer at experts; but then four experts out of five are rank imposters, a set of theorists, who go by arbitrary rules framed in the closet, and not by large and laborious comparison with indisputable documents. These char- latans are not aware that five thousand cramped and tremulous, but genuine, sigua- tures are written every day by honest men, and so they denounce every cramped or
tremulous writing as a forgery. The varieties in a man’s writing, caused by his writing with his glove on or
off, with a quill or a bad steel pen, drunk or sober, calm or agitated, in full day- light of dusk, etc., ete., all this is a dead letter to them, and they have a bias to- ward suspicion of forgery ; and a banker’s clerk, with his mere general impression, is better evidence than they are. But I am an artist of a very different stamp. I never reasen apriort. I compare ; and I have no bias. I never will have. The judges know this, and the pains and labor [take to be right, and they treat me with courtesy. At Penfold’s trial the matter was easy; I show- ed the court he had not written the note, and my evidence crushed the indictment so far. How could they have laughed at my testimony ! Why, they acted upon it. Those reports are not worth a straw. What journals were they cut out of ?
‘IT don’t know,’ said Helen.
‘Is their nothing on the upper margin to show!’
‘No,’
‘What, not on either of them ?
‘No.’
‘Show them to me, please. This is a re- spectable paper to; the Daily News.’
‘Oh, Mr. Undercliff, how can you kaow them ?
‘I don’t know it; but I think so, because the type and paper is like that journal ; the conductors are fond of clean type ; soamlI. Why, here is another misstate- ment ; the judge never said he aggravated his offence by trying to cast a slur upon the Wardlaws, I'll swear the judge never said a syllable of the kind. What he said was : ‘You can speak in arrest of judgment on grounds of law, but you must not im- pugn the verdict with facts.’ That was the only time he spoke to the prisoner at all. These reports are not worth a button.
Helen lifted up her hands and eyes in despair. ‘Where shall I find the truth ? said she. ‘The world is a quicksand.’
‘My dear young lady,’ said Mrs. Under- cliff, ‘don’t you be discovraged; there must be a correct report in some paper or other.’
‘I am not so sure of that,’ said Under- cliff. ‘I believe the reporters trundle off to the nearest public-house together, and light their pipes with their notes, and settle something or other by memory. Indeed they have reached a pitch of inaccuracy that could not be attained without co- operation. Independent liars contradict each other; but these chaps follow one another in falsehood, like geese toddling after one another across a common.’
‘Come, come,’ said Mrs. Undercliff, ‘if you can't help us, don’t hurt us. We don’t want aman to talk yellow jaundice t»us. Miss Rolleston must employ some- body to read all the other papers, and com- pare the reports with these.’
‘T'll employ nobody but myself,’ said
Helen. ‘I'll go to the British Museum directly.’
‘The Museum!’ cried Mr. Under- cliff, looking with surprise. ‘Why, they will be half an hour groping
for a copy of the Times. No, no; go to Peele’s Coffee-heuse.’ He directed her where to find that place; and she was so eager to do something for Robert, how- ever small, that she took up her bag directly, and put up the prayer-book, and was going to ask for her extracts, when she observed Mr. Undercliff was scrutinizing them with great interest, so she thought she would leave them with him; but, on looking more closely, she found that he was examiniog, not the reports, but the advertisements and miscellanea on the revise side.
She waited out of politeness, but she colored aud bit her lip. She could not help feeling hurt and indignant.
‘‘Any trash is more interesting to people than poor Robert's case,’ she thought. And at last she said bitterly:
‘Those advertisements seem to interest you, sir; shall I leave them with you?
‘If you please,’ said the expert, over whose head, bent in dogged scrutiny, this small thunderbolt of feminine wrath passed unconscious. .
Helen drove away to Peele’s Coffee-house.
Mrs. Undercliff pondered over the facts that had been elicited in this conversation;
the expert remained absorbed in the ad-|
vertisements at the back of Helen’s reports. When he had examined every one of them minutely, he held the entire extracts up to the light and looked through them, then he struck a double magnifierin his eye, and looked through them with that. Then he took two pieces of card and wrote on them Re Penfold, and looked about for his other materials, to put them all neatly together. was yone.
‘Now that is too bad,’ said he.

‘much for her dove-like eyes, that you ad- mired so. Mies Innocence has stolen that profile.’
| ‘Stolen! she bought it—of me.’ ‘Why, she never.said a word.’ ‘No; but she looked alook. She asked ime with those sweet imploring eyes, might ishe have it; and I looked yes;then she glanced toward you, and put down a note. Here it is.’
‘Why, you beat the telegraph, you two! Ten pounds for that thing! I must make it up to her somehow.’
‘I wish youcould. She isalady every inch. But she isin love with that Pen- told. Iam afraid it is a hopeless case.’
‘Ihave seena plainer. But hopeless it ‘isnot. However, you work your way, and 'T'll work mine.’
‘But you can’t; you have no materials.’
‘No; but lL have found a door that may lead to materials.’
Having delivered himself thus mysteri- ously, heshut himself up in obstinate silence until Helen Rolieston called again, two days afterward. She broughta bag full of manuscript this time; to wit, copies in her own hand-writing of eight reports, the Queen tvs Penfold. She wasin geod | spirits, and told Mrs. Undercliff that all the reporis were somewhat more favorable than the two she had left; andshe was beginning to tell Mr. Undereliff that he was quite right in his reecllection, when be in- terrupted her, and said, ‘All that is secondary now. Have you any objection to answer me a question?’
She colored; bet said, ‘““Oh, no. Ask me anything you like, then ebe biushed deeper.
‘How did you become possessed of those two reports you left with me the other

day ?
At this question, so different from what she feared, Helen cleared up and sniiled, and said, ‘From a Mr. Hand, a clerk in Mr Wardlaw’s office ; they were sent to me at my request.’
The expert seemed pleased at this reply; his brow cleared, and he said: ‘Then I don’t mind telling you that those two reports will bring Penfold’s case within my province. To speak plainly, Miss Rolleston, your newspaper extracts—ARE FORGERIFS.’
