In a few moments Mr.Cowan appeared, a tall athletic man, kindly of face and of manner.

He greeted Mrs.French and the doctor warmly.
"Come into the office," he said; "come in." "Mr.Cowan," said Mrs.French, "there is a poor Galician woman and her children outside the door, the wife and children of the man who was condemned yesterday.

The Judge told them they could see the prisoner to-day." "The hour for visitors," said Mr.Cowan, "is three in the afternoon." "Could you not let her in now?
