I was not less surprised than the rest of the passengers by the charge made against me. I think I joined them in a murmured exclamation of astonishment. The major’s message had led me to expect apprehension for being concerned with the burglars in their attempt upon the house : but it had nevcrentercd my mind that the more serious crime might be attributed to me. How could I have committed the murder which had taken place ten or fifteen minutes after I had left the grounds This was neither the time nor the place to defend myself, and as a peremptory “ Out ye get l" came from my old enemy the constable of Richmond Hill, I stepped out on to‘the platform. The officers on each side, with a light grip on my arms, pushed a passage through the crowd of por- ters and idlers who had run up to see what was the matter, and hurried me off to the adjacent station of the Underground Rail~ way ; warning me on the way that any- thing I might say would be taken in evi- deuce against me. That was an unneces- sary caution ; I had nothing to say. It was dark when we reached Richmond ; nevertheless, it crowd flocked about as we marched quickly along the street, some run- ning on in front to get a full look in my face as I came into the light of the gas. All seemed to know me. ~ “They’ve got him l” “ The fellow who shot the policeman last night l” was echoed from side to side. In the police station I was put in a raised dock and a bar closed me in. The inspector took the constable’s deposition, and then turn- ing to me asked my name. “ William Smith,” I said, hoping that my real name might never be discovered. “ William Smith,” said the inspector as he wrote, “ alias what ?” I made no reply. “Like the rest of your family, no ad- dress ?" he continued. H No. N Then a description of my personal a pest- uncc; my height was measured; was searched and handed over to the warder. “ Do you want to communicate with any one ‘3” he asked, as he led me into the cell. “ No. When shall I be tried '2" “ You’ll he took before the magistrate to-motrow.” There was a wooden bedstead at the end of tho white-washed vault. I sat down on it, and set myself to think out how Ishould defend myself without casting suspicion on my wife or implicating the major, who had befriended us. , But I could see nothing clearly. 'What question would be put to me, or how I should answer them, I knew not. It was like fighting in the dark. I grew desperate with the sense of my own impotency, and as I buried my face in my hundsI felt the blood pulsating in my temples as ifit would burst my veins. At length, overcome with the physical exertion and the mental strain ofl the last twenty-four hours, I fell asleep. I sank unconsciously upon the plank bed- stead, and there slept soundly till it; was broad daylight. That did me good ; I woke calm and clear headed. I saw at once that fluid but to hold my tongue to save my wife. There was no power to make me lie- truy her. I should be punished for my cou- trmucy, doubtless ; but I should hear my ptmishmcntfialone, audit would be lessened by the reflection that I had done my duty by her. With these thoughts I ate my rison breakfast cheerfully when it was minded in through the square trap in the door. A good 801156 in a bucket of water added to thy vigor, so that I looked for- ward without dread to my coming examina- tion only impatient of delay lest it should sup my resolution. There was a bible ou the shelf that served as a. table ; I opened it at the Psalms, and centred my thoughts upon what I read. I was thus ocCupied when the key turned in the door. “ My time has come l” thgu ht I, closing the book and putting it bac in its place. The dooropened and a middle-aged gentle- man in a black frock coat, closely buttoned up, bustlcd in, followed by the head wardcr. He had it thin, hatchet face, close-cut sandy- grcy whiskers, along nose, and n. pair of piercing cycs, deep sunk, under wonderfully mobile eyebrows of the same sandy-grey color as his whiskers. They met as he came to a stand and look- ed me over in silence ; then they went up, is he said, setting down his little black nag on the shelf-â€" “ Your name is Wyndham." “ I don‘t wish my name to be known in connection with this affair. I call myself William Smith.” “ Very good ; I understand. Your name though is sure to come out at the trial. However. for the present, you are \Villiam Smith. My name is llcoton. I am a solicitor instructed to act in your defence.” ..' “ lly whom ‘3" “ A friend,” he replied, with a most sig. niticent bend of his eyebrows. My heart lcapt ; I knew that the friend was llcbc. “ Now we have no time to lose," be con- tinued, briskly, taking off his gloves with a couple of jerks. and slipping them in his coat pocket. “ We go before the magistrates in half an hour, and have to lay down our course of action beforehand." Saying this, he oponedhis bag, and fished out a small blotting pad and a portable ink- stand. The wardcr who had closed the door and stool in surveillance suggested that the sergeant might grant the use of a romn. ” Very comfortable here, thank you, warrior,” replied .\lrs. Becton, laying his writing mun-rial on the shelf, and seating himself before it on the block that serves prisoners for a chair. “ Ncw. then, William Smith, you are charged with burglary and murder. You plead not guilty of course on both counts." “ Yes." “ What is your line of defenceâ€"with re gard to the burglary, to begin with 1'" “ l have none." He glanced up sidclong at me with one . Saunders, and we crept up on our hands eye: the eyebrow wuss note of interroga- tion. lltad nothing to add. " Do you deny hoing on the. premises at the time of three events ?" Herc his eyes . brows fell into n. straight line like a dash, and scorned to imply the impolicy of tits: plea u no i l was there." said I. “I shall not attempt to account for it. I shall refuse to answer any questions as to that part of the business." " You cannot hope for acquittal on the charge of burglary by that means.” “ Whatever the consequences may be, I will say nothing whatever relating to the events that took place before my escape from the toolhouse." “ That is your fixed intention 2” “ It is. ” I thought there was a look of approval in the expansion of his eyebrows ; there cer- tainly was in his tone as he said, “ Very goor ,” and proceeded to write a few words. “ Now, William Smith, how do you pro pose to clear yourself on the other count ‘2” “ By telling the simple truth," said I. “ Then out with it, and let me hear the whole story," said be, turning round full to the little shelf, and bending over his blotting pad, pen in hand. Itold him simply how I had found the rope ladder, how I had been overtaken by the houscbrcakcr. how we had gropcd our way across the meadow and up the hill, and how we had there heard the shot which my companion attributed to Hooky. Mr. Bee- ton listened attentively, and jotted down a line or two now and then. There was char- acter even in the man’s long, thin ear. I: moved like his eyebrow, and in its diverse twitching I fancied there was expression of astonishment, doubt, and satisfaction. When I came to the end, he turned round with a. jerk, looked me straight in the face, and saidâ€"â€" “ I believe every word you’ve said. Keep to that, and we’ll get off on the graver charge, and perhapsâ€"I say perhapsâ€"on the lesser. you as I do, they would not take upon them< selves the responsibility of decxding in your favor. They’ll send you up for trial.” “ Very well,” said I. At this moment the sergeant came to say that I must be taken up at once to the court. The inquiry was made with closed doors. The only witnesses present were Mr. Thane a. doctor, the constable, and the detective who had apprehended me. I was surprisd to find that the major was not there. I recognised Mr. Thane rather by inner consciousness than by anything else. In the fog and darkness his features were indis- tinguishable ; I had never seen his face be- fore. Hebe’s fear of him and his behavior when I was placed in his custody had led me to expect in him the appearance of a bully, for bullies I have found invariably cruel and cowardly. That heavy, red-faced, unhealthy-looking man with the heavy jaw, sensual mouth, and shifty, irritable eyes just answered to my preconception. As a. vision of my wife, beautiful, sweet, and gentle, rose before my eyes, I wondered how she could owe her being to this man. Hap- pily we have two parents, and the offspring may be as like the one and unlike the other as the delicate blossom of the tea. rose to the briar on which it is grafted. As be But you must not expect to be ac- quitted by themagistrates. If they believe “ Then, how will you account for falling into the hands of the police 3" ’em down. I bad ’old of one, but it turned out to be Saunders ; and Saun- ders bad hold of another, but it turned out to be me. However, we gave chase of the two others who had went off, we didn’t know where. and I was making my way back to the house to see if it was all right there, when Mr. Thane called to me, and I then took prisoner into custody. I turned my light on his face and knew him at once. I will swear to him. Saunders then signal- ling me for help, I then left prisoner in cus- tody of Mr. l‘hane, calling upon him in the name of the Queen." “I had nothing on but my slippers and a dressing-gown,” said Mr. Thane, appealing to the magist rates for cotnmiserution. The clerk pointed his pen at Jennings to proceed. “I joined Saunders,who was up by the gap in the fence. He said he had seen the man with the bag. I said I would have a look for him along by tho palings while he guard~ ed the gap. I hadn’t been gone above a couple of minutes, and I hadn’t got far away, when Saunders again sang out to me, and at the same time I heard a. struggle taking place. I turned on my lantern, and cried out I was coming.” “You ran to his assistance?” “ Yes, sir, and I ran up against a tree, it bein’ so thick, which pulled me up for a moment. I heard the fighting pretty close at hand, and just us I started forwards I heard the pistol go off, and recognised the prisoner.” A. “How didyou recognise the prisoner?” asked Mr. Becton. “Partly by the flash of his pistol, and partly by turning my lanterimn him." “ How far was he from you at the time ‘3” _ “ About us far as I am from you now, str.” “ That is about three yards." “ I won’t swear to it." “ To the best of your belief, about three yards.” “ Yes, sir, to the best of my belief." “ Yet the moment before you had run against a tree, after turning on your bulls- eye, owing to the fog being so thick that you couldn’t see it.” “ Saunders told you he had seen the man with the bag,” said one ofgthe magistrates; “had the prisoner got the bag when you saw him ?” Jenningspaused amomen t, and then, With the smile of self-gratification which a man has in avoiding a pitfall of cross-examina- tion, he repliedâ€"â€" “It was the man who broke away first who had the bag ; not the prisoner.” “ Will you swear that the man had not got the bag '2" “ Yes, I will swear to that.” “ And you. will swear that you recognized the prisoner at three yards by the flash of his pistol and the light of your lantern ‘2" put in Mr. Beeton. “I will swear to the prisoner being the man who fired the pistol.” I thought my solicitor’s eyebrows would touch the parting of his hair, as witha gen- tle shake and a smile be bent down to make a note. The next witness examined was Mr. Thane. Asked how he came to suffer his prisoner to escape, he explained that he was suffering from a. complication of ail- ments, and had nothing on butslip shoes and a. dressing gown, and that he had handed me over to Major CleVeden to lock up in the toolhouse, under the belief that as a mili- his pocket, and bent his brows with an expression of the most. fixed determination. “ Yes,” I answered. firmly. “ Nothing 0111 egrt‘n shall make me say a word about 3 mt. ’ “ For your own sake, I think that course advisable," he said, impressively. “ Of course, contempt of court is punishable, but " Maria l” that is a trifle. The judge will disapprove, “ Maris, !"

Then he had not WILL BE TEL NORTHWEST finished. j The next day he came again. “ William Smith,” he began. on this oc- casion, “Iam instructed to tell you that the person you visited at the Cedars is pre- pared to come forward at the time, and give 1). full explanation, and supply a. satisfactory reason for your being there on the night of the murder. I need not tell you that this statement must exonerate you entirely on the charge of being there with hurglarous intent.” My eyes filled with tears, and I could not speak for the emotion that choked me, as I thought of the sacrifice my dear wife was prepared to make for me. “ The person goes further than that even,” continued Mr. Becton, “ and will most cer- tainly make that statement, unless you ex- pressly forbid it.” “ I do forbid it.” I cried, vehemently. “ Quite right, \Villiam Smith. I myself have forbidden it in your interests and in my ownâ€"for my professional reputation is concerned in getting you off. And I say once more emphatically, that your most expedient course at the trial will be the close adherence to that reticence you your~ self suggested. Naturally the person in question is in very terrible anxiety concern- ing your fate. My bands will be strength- ened considerably if I can convey to this person a decision on your part which may obviate a. rash outburst at the trial on the part of that person.” “ \Vill she be there,” I gasped. “ I fear nothing will keep that person away. Our chief hope lies in that person keeping silent.” “ Tell her,” I said, “ That if my life de- pended upon it, I would not have her break that secret. ” “ I will tell her that your life does depend upon her keeping the secret, William Smith.” And so he sat down as before, and went on with his interminable questioning; but for some time I could not fix my ideas upon that subject, for thinking of my dear Hebe, her suffering and her love. Nor could I think of anything else when he had gone, and that night I slept as sweetly on my wdooden bed as if all my troubles were end- e . ' “ The person who is so greatly interested in you,” said Mr. Beetou the next day, “ wishes to see you.” I could not repress a cry of joy. Oh, if I could only see her once more, only let her see how much I loved her now, I should not mind what sentence was passed upon me. “ But I have begged that person to forego the meeting. Better meet afterwards than view of my case, and descended now and then to jocosit-y. In this spirit he came into my cell early the following morning and saidâ€" “ She‘s come for you 3" “ She 2" I exclaimed, thinking of my wife, and springing to my feet wild with joy. And Write It up for the English Papers- Mr. John Ennis, manager of the Allan line at Liverpool, Eng; )1 r. Archer Baker, C. P. R. traffic agent in Europe but resident. in the same city, and T. Moore. proprietor of The Land and \Vater, a weekly journal which is running The Field very closely as the English country gentleman’s newspaper, arrived in Ottawa the other day and had a meeting with the Deputy Minister of Agri- culture the same afternoon. The three gentlemen are about to take an extended tour through the Canadian North-west. Mr. Baker is well known in Canada, be having formerly resided here for a number of years as superintendent of the eastern division of the C.1’.R.. Company. Mr. Ennis was in Canada nine years agp, but has never visited the territories. 0 says that he has so much to do with pas- senger traffic to the Dominion that he thinks it only right that he should know something of the capabilities of our great North-west country from actual observation in order that he might speak with authority upon the subject. Mr. Moore was out here 13 yearsa 0 when he was editor and proprietor of The rish Farmer. 0 his return to the mother country he wrote a description of the Dominion, which was afterwards pub- blished in pamphlet form. The result of his observation this year will be embraced in a series of articles in Land and Water. He Wanted His Revenge. Micky Cavan, who has just arrived in London, was suffering from the toothache, so be rushed into a dentist and said : “ Plase, sorr, it's murthered Oi am wid the toothache? Will ye kindly take the blayguard av u. tooth cut av my poro mouth ‘2” “ How long have you had it ‘2" inquired the dentist. “ About twenty years, soar." “ Twenty years ! You misunderstood me.

The dentist, after examinâ€" ing, said : “ This will be a very tough job, my man, and I strongly advise you to take gas." “ Toke gas ?” exclaimed Micky, whose - - - tary man, and a man of great physical caught Sightot me he nodded lushead herce- \ _ . . . , ly in recognition, and spoke sharply to the st‘ength and v’gor' the "la-101‘ “as better The charge was read otet‘, the doctor like me' run the risk of never meeting again.

' made a statement with regard to the mur- dered man, and than the constable Jennings was called upon to make his disposition. “ Where is Major Cleveden? Why is he not here '2” asked one of the magistrates. The clerk explained that the major had gentleman by whom he am ‘able than he to guard a desperate ruf’fian Jennings told how he had seen me first waiting about on Richmond Hill, and how my behavior had led him to suspect that I was a bad character, and after no good; how he. had followed me down to Ham Road, and there been joined by Saunders, the murdered constable, to whom he signalled With his whistle. “ Saunders told me," he proceeded, “that he had seen two suspicious characters hang- ing about Mr. Thaue’s house two or three days, so we thought we would take a look round the premises. Saunders said the fencing was being done up at the back of the grounds, and that was the likeliest place for any one to get in. We were going up by the wall on the Richmond side of the garden when we heard a. glass smash inside, which led us to feel pretty sure there was something on.” “A bell glass was broken on the side border,” said Mr. Thane. It was the one I had struck with my foot in the dark. Jennings, continuing his story, told how feel their way through the fog without using their bullseyes for fear of discovery, at length reached the house. There was alight at the back of the house in the first storey. “That was in my daughter’s room. She burns a night light,” explained Mr. Thane. “There was also another on the second story on the north side.” “Those are the servants’ rooms. it,” said Mr. Thtuc, eagerly. “\Ve tried all the windows and doors and found them closed. Saunders thought we had been heard by the burglars and had frightened them off; but just as we was about turning of it up, I discovered a pair of nail boots against the conservatory door.

I looked upon it as abrcach of trust which might involve me in serious difficulties. It was, in my opinion, not the conduct of an officer and a gentleman, and I told him so.” “ And he left your house at once l" said a magistrate, who had himself the air of an old military man. There was some further discussion, and then I was asked whutI had to say in reply to the charge made aganist me ; whereupon my solicitor rose and said that we reserved our defence. . That left the magistrates to course but to commit me for trial ; and committed I was there and then. IXTERVIEWED BY MY SOLICITOR. I was taken to the House of Correction at \Vandsworth, to await my trial at the next assizcs to be held at the Old Bailey. Toe same afternoon Mr. Benton came bust- ling into my cell in company with a stolid warder. “ \Ve have no time to lose, William Smith,” said he; “ the assizcs open on the thirteenth.” “I’m glad of it," said I. “I wish it were all over and my fate decided." “ It must be an anxious time for you, of course ; but you may look forward with con- fidence to an acquittal on both counts." “ Do you really think so ?” I asked, in a tone of mingled hope and doubt. " With regard to the graver charge, I have not the slightest doubt. No jury in the world would convict you of murder on the unsupported evidence of that man Jeh- nings. His animus is obvious. You made an enemy of him by rejecting his friendly advance on Richmond Hill. He set you down for a bad lot, and his opinion was confirmed b findin_ you attempting to escape from the ones.
