Are you lonesome without me?" There was a break in the letters, for 'Billy" Brown had returned to Cortland and did not write again from Sourh Otselie until June 19, when she returned for the last time. Fear that Gillette would fail her had already taken root. Billy" was very lonesome, and sh. tried hard to make Gillette understand She tried, too, to make him understand the dread she had of discovery by and mother. BeRged Him to Come to Her.

"Can't you write more often than three times a week?" she pleaded. "I get so lonesome, dear. Please write often and in every one of your letters I wish you would tell me not to worry about your not coming for me. If you, were only here, dear I am so blue. Please write often, dear, and tell me you will come for me before papa makes me tell the whole affair or they find it out for themselves." Gillette was moody.

He did not answer that letter, and on June 21 'Billy" Brown threatened to go to him at Cortland at once. She wrote: "My Hear Chester: I am writing to tell you I am going back to Cortland. I simply can't stay here any longer. Mamma worr'es and wonders why I -ry so much. Please come and take me away some place, dear.

He did go for her finally after a month of pleading. It was pleading that no man could mistake, the pleading of a broken heart that knew her love had gone for naught and yet still loved on. To be taken away from her father's roof, and after that death would cure all, was all the forsaken little ul asked. And Gillette took Billy" Brown away from fhe sight of her father and mother and the neighbors, who had known her all her life. She lived in dread that they would discover her secret, and she found the death she hail prayed to win.

"She found a fpilet lake." was the way District Attorney Ward put it to the Jury. Ward rend "Billy" Brown's broken heart and soul Into the record of the State's case in a simple, direct way. His method was suited to the soirit the letters. As he went on, taking up missive after missive, and tracing out the progress of the tragedy of "Billy" Brown't life, the beauty of th euntutored farmer girl's English, hw purity of thought and refinement of nature seized tipon the listeners and tears came unbidden. Near the end of the letters Ward's voice, which hail been getting raspy from the strait ne w.ia undergoing, suddenly atopped.

Something was stuck in his throat.
