Why go to such vehement trouble? The portrait was shaping well: it was good work, among his best; naturally it was important to him. He was led thus, and gradually. to the morning of Austin Hart's death, Yes. he had been in the garden. Yes, he had threatened Hart. It was not a sane thing to do, but he was angry. Yes. at the time he had meant it. The man had spoken disrepectfully of hi-s. wife. and he, Charles. did not choose to have that done in his presence, But he had not hit him. He had not laid a finger on him. Yes. of course he was sure. Did they think he wasn't capable of remembering if he'd knocked a man down or left him standmgZFI-lc hadn't touched Hart. Ho had ruii away so that he shouldn't touch him. They could believe it or not, as they chose. It was all one to him, But it was not all one. He look- cd at ‘Thea as he said it and knew that it was a lie. Her face was mute and still. unable to acknow- ledge by any softening or lclndness the unhappy. growning glance he bent upon her. While she hid be- hind that pale mask Charles was a lost man. _ And indeed many thought so; Jane could see it in their covert exchanges of glance with glance, significant all. She pressed Jim's arm. “Jim-they'll make it murder, won't they?" "The doctor alone saw to that," said Jim very softly. "Yes, but—Jim—theyll find against Charles, I know they will. I can see it in their faces." "Don't be too sure," he urged, though he was beginning to be horridly sure himself. "It takes a. lot of courage to do that. It's much simpler to pass the buck by bring- ing in a verdict with no names attached. Person or persons 11n- known-I stake my hopes on it." "Yes. I know. But this is so obvi- ous I mean, to them it must be. He admits he was there. and threat- ened him, Two people heard his voice upon the scene only seven 0r eight minutes before the mur- der was discovered. And nobody saw him leave. Oh. Jim. if we weren't automatically on his side‘, —if he was somebody quite dif- ferent, somebody we didn't know- we should say. of course he did it.‘ To this Jim did not say either| i yes or no. It would have been foolish to try and coax her into a feeling of security, for secure they certainly were not, but to admit the inevitability of defeat would have been worse folly. She clungi to him with a cold little hand when the jury were left to con- sider their verdict. Looking down at her, he found her face pinched arid_ pale wi~th the effort of re- SIPHIIIl. She must not even whisper‘ in Jim's ear, much less betray her despair by tears, now that Charles was back in his place he- side her.
