To
his
sister
he
said
:
"
Good-by
,
Anna
.
Do
n't
let
the
others
get
too
down-hearted
.
"
"
I
'll
see
you
three
afterward
,
"
he
said
to
his
father
and
brothers
;
and
so
,
dressed
in
the
very
best
fashion
of
the
time
,
he
hurried
down
into
the
reception-hall
,
where
Steger
was
waiting
,
and
was
off
.
His
family
,
hearing
the
door
close
on
him
,
suffered
a
poignant
sense
of
desolation
They
stood
there
for
a
moment
,
his
mother
crying
,
his
father
looking
as
though
he
had
lost
his
last
friend
but
making
a
great
effort
to
seem
self-contained
and
equal
to
his
troubles
,
Anna
telling
Lillian
not
to
mind
,
and
the
latter
staring
dumbly
into
the
future
,
not
knowing
what
to
think
.
Surely
a
brilliant
sun
had
set
on
their
local
scene
,
and
in
a
very
pathetic
way
.
When
Cowperwood
reached
the
jail
,
Jaspers
was
there
,
glad
to
see
him
but
principally
relieved
to
feel
that
nothing
had
happened
to
mar
his
own
reputation
as
a
sheriff
.
Because
of
the
urgency
of
court
matters
generally
,
it
was
decided
to
depart
for
the
courtroom
at
nine
o'clock
.
Eddie
Zanders
was
once
more
delegated
to
see
that
Cowperwood
was
brought
safely
before
Judge
Payderson
and
afterward
taken
to
the
penitentiary
.
All
of
the
papers
in
the
case
were
put
in
his
care
to
be
delivered
to
the
warden
.
"
I
suppose
you
know
,
"
confided
Sheriff
Jaspers
to
Steger
,
"
that
Stener
is
here
.
He
ai
n't
got
no
money
now
,
but
I
gave
him
a
private
room
just
the
same
.
I
did
n't
want
to
put
a
man
like
him
in
no
cell
.
"
Sheriff
Jaspers
sympathized
with
Stener
.
"
That
's
right
.
I
'm
glad
to
hear
that
,
"
replied
Steger
,
smiling
to
himself
.
"
I
did
n't
suppose
from
what
I
've
heard
that
Mr.
Cowperwood
would
want
to
meet
Stener
here
,
so
I
've
kept
'em
apart
.
George
just
left
a
minute
ago
with
another
deputy
.
"
"
That
's
good
.
That
's
the
way
it
ought
to
be
,
"
replied
Steger
.
He
was
glad
for
Cowperwood
's
sake
that
the
sheriff
had
so
much
tact
.
Evidently
George
and
the
sheriff
were
getting
along
in
a
very
friendly
way
,
for
all
the
former
's
bitter
troubles
and
lack
of
means
.
The
Cowperwood
party
walked
,
the
distance
not
being
great
,
and
as
they
did
so
they
talked
of
rather
simple
things
to
avoid
the
more
serious
.
"
Things
are
n't
going
to
be
so
bad
,
"
Edward
said
to
his
father
.
