I
'm
going
to
let
you
go
only
so
long
as
you
do
n't
steal
anything
else
,
"
he
thundered
.
"
The
moment
you
steal
anything
else
,
back
you
come
to
this
court
,
and
then
you
go
to
the
penitentiary
for
a
year
and
whatever
more
time
you
deserve
.
Do
you
understand
that
?
Now
,
I
want
you
to
walk
straight
out
of
this
court
and
behave
yourself
.
Do
n't
ever
steal
anything
.
Get
something
to
do
!
Do
n't
steal
,
do
you
hear
?
Do
n't
touch
anything
that
does
n't
belong
to
you
!
Do
n't
come
back
here
!
If
you
do
,
I
'll
send
you
to
the
penitentiary
,
sure
.
"
"
Yassah
!
No
,
sah
,

wo

"
replied
Ackerman
,
nervously
.
"
I
wo
n't
take
nothin
'
more
that
do
n't
belong
tuh
me
.
"
He
shuffled
away
,
after
a
moment
,
urged
along
by
the
guiding
hand
of
a
bailiff
,
and
was
put
safely
outside
the
court
,
amid
a
mixture
of
smiles
and
laughter
over
his
simplicity
and
Payderson
's
undue
severity
of
manner
.
But
the
next
case
was
called
and
soon
engrossed
the
interest
of
the
audience
.
It
was
that
of
the
two
housebreakers
whom
Cowperwood
had
been
and
was
still
studying
with
much
curiosity
.
In
all
his
life
before
he
had
never
witnessed
a
sentencing
scene
of
any
kind
.
He
had
never
been
in
police
or
criminal
courts
of
any
kind
--
rarely
in
any
of
the
civil
ones
.
He
was
glad
to
see
the
negro
go
,
and
gave
Payderson
credit
for
having
some
sense
and
sympathy
--
more
than
he
had
expected
.
He
wondered
now
whether
by
any
chance
Aileen
was
here
.
He
had
objected
to
her
coming
,
but
she
might
have
done
so
.
She
was
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
in
the
extreme
rear
,
pocketed
in
a
crowd
near
the
door
,
heavily
veiled
,
but
present
.
She
had
not
been
able
to
resist
the
desire
to
know
quickly
and
surely
her
beloved
's
fate
--
to
be
near
him
in
his
hour
of
real
suffering
,
as
she
thought
.
She
was
greatly
angered
at
seeing
him
brought
in
with
a
line
of
ordinary
criminals
and
made
to
wait
in
this
,
to
her
,
shameful
public
manner
,
but
she
could
not
help
admiring
all
the
more
the
dignity
and
superiority
of
his
presence
even
here
.
He
was
not
even
pale
,
as
she
saw
,
just
the
same
firm
,
calm
soul
she
had
always
known
him
to
be
.
If
he
could
only
see
her
now
;
if
he
would
only
look
so
she
could
lift
her
veil
and
smile
!
He
did
n't
,
though
;
he
would
n't
.
He
did
n't
want
to
see
her
here
.
But
she
would
tell
him
all
about
it
when
she
saw
him
again
just
the
same
.
The
two
burglars
were
quickly
disposed
of
by
the
judge
,
with
a
sentence
of
one
year
each
,
and
they
were
led
away
,
uncertain
,
and
apparently
not
knowing
what
to
think
of
their
crime
or
their
future
.
When
it
came
to
Cowperwood
's
turn
to
be
called
,
his
honor
himself
stiffened
and
straightened
up
,
for
this
was
a
different
type
of
man
and
could
not
be
handled
in
the
usual
manner
.
He
knew
exactly
what
he
was
going
to
say
.
When
one
of
Mollenhauer
's
agents
,
a
close
friend
of
Butler
's
,
had
suggested
that
five
years
for
both
Cowperwood
and
Stener
would
be
about
right
,
he
knew
exactly
what
to
do
.
"
Frank
Algernon
Cowperwood
,
"
called
the
clerk
.
Cowperwood
stepped
briskly
forward
,
sorry
for
himself
,
ashamed
of
his
position
in
a
way
,
but
showing
it
neither
in
look
nor
manner
.
Payderson
eyed
him
as
he
had
the
others
.
"
Name
?
"
asked
the
bailiff
,
for
the
benefit
of
the
court
stenographer
.
"
Frank
Algernon
Cowperwood
