"To-morrow is my wb'ddirlg day," said Viola Claysori softly to herself. "It seems so strange. AHd yet how happy tho thought makcsinol" Sho was seated in the sumptuous draw ing room of her father's handsomo country mansion ns these words left her lips. It was still early evening, and tho lamps had jUSt teen lighted. Their mellow luster played richly on Viola's Eturry-cyed, olive beauty. NeHr had her fSco worn so charming a look ns to-night, because never had the fu ture seemed to ller so dcliciously full of promise. Roy Jlellbrd, tho brilliant youHg New York lawyer, was a match worthy of even Oscar Clayson's precious only child, whoso days had been mado thus lar enviable by every fond indulgence Bdt mcditntioH docs htft always increase contentment. Some famous writer once said that to think is to become miserable. A shade of care Certainly dilrllbned Viola's lbvely face, as sho now moved forth upon tho broad moon lighted piazza, where fra groticoof Juno liorit'ysuekles perfumed the' silvery dimness. "Poor Mark Sinclair 1" her thoughts pres ently ran. "I know he is wretched to-night; 1 can't help but pity him. Surely it was not my fault that I could only givo hini pity in return for his deep, unconnuerab'le love. And how odd that ho should bo Roy's inti mate fficnil, and yet that Roy has never suspected his secret. Well, it is better as it is, perhaps. Mark is a noble lellow. Ho suffers still. I saw it in his eyes when he called wilh Roy yesterday. And to-morrow lie will bo his friend's best man at tho wed ding, and no one will dream of what nn or deal lib' is passing through bdt; (isliawl I must not think of these gloomy things; timo will bring Mark consolation. And after Roy and I are married I shall muko it my sacred duty to find him some lovely, true woman for a wife. Ho deserves it, if ever man did I" Shortly after making theso rather girlish and impulsive reflections Viola clipped down across the lawn, passed out of its front gate, and entered tho grounds of a fine estate ly ing opposite, where dtrtlt her friend, Kate CharilpKey. Kate was to bo one of Viola's bridesmaids on the morrow, and naturally thetwo friends Would riot be at a loss for a vivacious chat together. Roy Melford had sent Viola a note that aflernoon saying that ho would call at nino O'clock this samo evening for his farewell visit in the capacity of her tuitor. There wero still two hours and a halt be fore that hour, nnd Viola's restless rriood needed 601110 kind of occupation1 duririg the intervening p'ericd. Meanwhile; about half a mile away, Ifi ono of tho loiter chambers of that comfort able, old fashioned homestead wuich Mark Sinclair had recently inherited from his dead father very different scene was boing enacted. Two trterl sat hero together lifark; the host, and his friend, Roy Melford, to-morrow's prospective bridegroom. Mark's grave, rugged, manly faco looked unusually serious. Roy, bo was spealkirig, wore on his delicate, fine-cut fcatilrcJ an ex pression" of melancholy distress. ' " Mark," life was saying,"tho woman who now waits outside, on tlio pbrch is indexible; SSe says that she w'ill show those very let: tcrs to Oscar Clayson this very night. You know what n high-strung, Honorable he is. He once said to me, just after my engage ment tb Viola: "Roy Melford, if there were the least itsJin iiftari your name you should rievcr have rry daughter.

Showas tolli dork-fcaturcd Woman, with cold blacii bye's. As tho light from the inner hall struck her stern, aquiline face, Mark Sinclair sdld : " You are Martha Wilmot ?" "Yes," was the quick, harsli answer. "I do not know you; sir, nor do I caro to speak with you. I mil waiting for Roy Melford to come back. I wish him to go with mo to tho houso of tho lady ho will shortly marry. I wish her father and herself tohbar hisown ndmissiori of his villainy towanl my poor dead sistbr. If he will go with mo, well and gooil; I shall go alone. I havo heard what Bb'rt of a man Oscar tilayson is. When he lias listened to my story it may alter Mr. Roy Melford's future prospects." A little 6ilonco followed, and then a bit ter latig'll broke from the woman's lip's. "Oh, I know why ycu nto here," sho went on. "It is to oiler tno a bribe. Hoy Mel ford has sent yod: But you can go bock ngaiH and tell lilm that I would fling his dollars in tlio dirt if ho proffered them to mol Nol what I want is revengo for my poor dead sister and I mean to get It this night! I only heard of tllbcomingmarriage yesterday. I wish I'd known bf it sooner. But perhaps it is riot yet loo late 1" A sllcticb followed. Theii MarkSiriclalr's calm voice said ! 'I caiilo to offer Jou ho bribe. Roy Mel ford will not go witli you to Mr. Claysph's ; but 1; his friend, will go. You shrill tell your story; arid then wo will see just what hnprJc'ris?" "You say, Martha Wilmot, that you were absent from home, inasituationasafactory- womati, when nil this Sad affair occurred ?" Oscar Clayson spoke: Ho was standing in tho centre of his library, facing Martha Wilmot and Mark Sinclair, who stood near her ami looking as palo as death. Ho was a man who hid becil handsome in hisdav but a slow mortal malady had for several years been" gradually sapping his strength. "Yes," answered Martha, "I returned home to find my sister dying. And this man's deceit Had killed her. He Is the man, Mr. Clayson, who Is to marry yoiir daughter to-mnrrow." Mr. Clayson now spoke somewhat hoarsely 'You mentioned some letters," ho said. "Let mo see thciii." MdrtHa handed him a small packet. ''My mother could also havb given her testimony," she wont on, "if hef death hod not happened tt few weeks ago. But these letters, I think, are' fc'Mddgh probf: Tod will no doubt recognize their hand." "I do recognlzo it." Tho words left Oscar Clayson's lips a few minutes' filter. He had been readingseveral of tho written pages. He sank back into his chair and tho loosened sheets fell from his half-nervclcss linger: "Poor Viola 1" hn murmured. "What it wedding day sho will have I" Mark Sinclair drew several steps nearer to the old gentleman, at this. "Mr. Claysori' ties said, "do you mead that you will forbid yodr daughter's mar riage?" "Forbid it," was tho quick, imperious answer; "I wmld rather eeo Viola dead than tho wifo of ono who could so soil him self." " But if ho lldS repented bitterly," urged Mark- "If " "Repented I If ho refenled a thousand times the dishonor would still bo llie same. No, my mind is mado. up. The wedding shall not tako place;'." A silence followed. Martha Wilm'ot's face' was lit with a saturnine; triumphant smile. In a m'om'ch't wo can commit deeds of ut ter baseress. And it requires but a moment also for ds tf decide upon our actloiii where the loftiest iubii'mily is shown. Mark Sinclair loved Viola Clayson with a profound, overmastering love. A selfish tlature might havo seen In this old man's decision tho chance bf future personal bene fit. But Murk Sinclair's nature waS not mere ly unselfih. It was capable of spleridid, herioo reh'u'hcinllon, of high, supreme gener osity. Roy Melford, too, was Ins irienrt. Ho meditated for a brier space, then bo acted. "The truth' must be told," he said; "I wrote those letters." ''You I" e'xcluimed Mr. Clay'sori. "You I" echoed Martha'. Yes, I, Mark Sinclair, I confess It; they nre forgeries. I have never been Roy Mel ford's friend. YeJfrs ago ho Injured me tin matter how', i towed revenge upon hint, and when wo wero at D together t saw the chnncoof thus harming his fair fame. I wooed Sara Wilmot under Roy Melford's name. lie never went near the cottage, or very rarely. If Mrs. Wilmot werealivoshe cculd identify me as her daughter's deceiv er. I afterwards forged hirfnaine and hand Writing. I now' tell tho truth becauso I Na'veagruinofcoflscienco leftf and cannot see an Iririocent creature like Viola Clayson suffer, even though it would bring disaster upon the man I still Kste." "It is not true," gasped Martha'; But Mark' h'tnl acted his rifrt magnificent ly. Oscar Clayson' was wholly deceived by blrrf; , "I believe you, however," cried tho old man, starting to hts feeL "Never enter my door again," he went fen. Indignantly' "nor dare to speak to mo wh'ilo I live." "As you i'lease' said Mark, Iri humble, crushed tones. "But now that I have con fessed the troth, at least onitoul m'y slra'mo, ami givo me those letters'." 'Take tbVui," cried Mr. Clayson", " ami gof!" Mark seized' the letters before Martha could re-secure them. And an instant later he had torn them Into small fragments, and hurried from the room with these grasped iu his hands. But just before going ho tumod andspoko the following words! "Roy Melford did not betray mo when that womarl lb-night upbraided hlrii with tho treachery that ho supposed his. He kept silent because ho would not beliove her accusation till my own Hps had verified it.' Viola and Rby were Jiiarried the next day, Martha rievcr credited Mark Sinclair's story, but Mr. Clayson did. Mark did not appear at the wedding. Later, when Roy heard what his friend had done for lilin, he almost knelt' at Mark's feet hi devout grati tudc. Mr. Clayson died about six months after. ward Bf the disease tt) which ho had been fur years a victim. After his death Mark was tho honored friend nnd frequent guest of Viola and Roy, though the former never knew of liis noble falsehood. Viola lias never succeeded in finding Mark that wifo whom sho hdd hoped to sc euro for him. But perhaps Mark has had his reward. Perhaps his own largo, truo soul has gained lbr him a fitting recompense. Who shall deny ? Great natures are wrought in this" finer way.

Tho manner Id which attorneys question witnesses is exasperating, to tho intelligent listener, beyond expression. The great pur pose 01 in nverage criminal lawyer, for In stance, is to draw from tho witness all tho facts In his possossion, excepting the facts touching tho case under consideration. A countryman chopping down a tree, slops his work and buries bis axouplo theeyo in tho broln of MS brother-in-law. A witness wlio 6aw tho whole bloody transaction Is brought Into court, nnd his examination runs about thus: "You say that tho prisoner was chopping u trco down. Now, will you please tell tho court and jury where he bought the axo? You don't know. Very well, sir, we'll too about that. Now, sir, look at the Jury. Don't stare itl that helpless manner at mo; Now, sir, do you say, uporl your oath, that you don't know that tho defendant Btolo that axo before lib left Milpitas? You say so, nh? Well, now, mark mc, sir. How many feet was it from tlio tree I ib' ilefnnd. ' ant was bllct'iiirig Id tho nearest grist-mill ? you can't say ? Was it tor! feel ? "Certainly. A good deal more." "Well, then, was it a thousand milo ?" 'Oli I certainly not." "The court tiiid tlio jury will pleaso ob serve tlio stubbornness of this witness. It is manifestly his purposoto keepfrom thejury tlio facts they ought tb Kfibwri." "Now, sir, who owned that mill ?" Tlio witness innocently inquires! "What mill?" but soon repents It. 'Tho Jury Wll tileaso observe the cxas- pending c'otitum'aciousness of this witness. his evasiveness; ntid his manifest purpose to confuse -our minds as to the facts involved in this terrible murder." "Now, sir, look mo in tlio faco. You havo solemnly sworn that tho niail was chopping near a tdill. Will yo'u libw dare say look atthejufy, sir I Ih'tit tliero wds ho mill within ono thousand miles of the trto tho' defendant was felllfg?" "I don't say anything bf tlio kindl" "Tho Jury will pleuso riote that answer: Now sco here'; m'y friend, wo'vo hod about enough of thisl You first declared that there ftas no riilll, and now you brazenly avow sliat there was a mill near the wood chopper " I said there was no mill within led feet" "Never do you mind what you oald I know what you said; nnd the Jury knows. And now,' sir, listen lo ine! Who mado your boots? Yoil don't know! Is there anything under God's heavens that you do know? There t there! look nt tho jury not at mc. Aud h'o'iv perhapi yod call tell tho jury what you namo is?" Tlio witness tells his name. "Now, sir, look ut the juiyi i low lone did you lito theie?" The witness timidly nsks : "Lived whero?" and tho attorney springs" lo Ids feet. "May it plenso the court and jurv, I find this witness utterly incorrigible, stubborn, mulish, and bent upon keeping babk the very facts thn jury must have. Ho has clearly been tampered with, ond comes hero with the manifest Intention of brow-healing ninl worrying' both tho Jury htid tho bar. I have temporized with him, I havo led him gently fiom joint to point, in tho hopo ofteguiliiig him into a truo recital of tho facts connected with this dreadful murder. Arid what is tHy reward for this considate kindness and forbearance? Speaking under tho sanctity of nn oath; lie tells this court nnd jury that ho doesn't know whefo ho lives, and has asked mo to tell him 1 CafJ such hiugs bo, and not overcome us liko ft like and not overcon'to tis? I ask, your Honor, that this witness be 6cnt (o jail for contumacy, to remain there until he ex presses a willingness to tell what ho knows about this dreadful murder." Tho Court then admouish'os tho witness that further (rilling will not bo permitted ; that his itfdst nriswer tho gentleman's ques tions, or lib will ceftaltlly feel called upon to commit him to prison'. Tho witness hy thistinio is bewildered, scared, dazed, and indulges iri contradictions and absurdities ns fast and ns oftert as the ntlorney rcqsjircs him to; and Dually leading the eland, it is a quarter of art hbur, at least, before ho can recall h'iiowri namo or fix hisown identity. Tlio attorney then gets upon his feet, tears trio Wretched and umazed witness' contradic tory and foolish rigmarole all to tatters, and asks tho court that It bo excluded from tho jury as f.ile and nonsensical. And that is one of tho ways many of our avjrngo crimi nal lawyers adopt to "draw oiit (ho facts" In great murder cases. VERSATILITY OF DUSTERS.
