MO‘WO°m‘w%m~so’~:mo‘mzo~3‘o~ DO Qto‘uofimztmzv“zo‘ozoflvzomfimfivzomoto Mr. Justice Deane was the strong- est judge on the Bench. Stern. un- bending, learned in the law, and- never taken unawares, be dispensed justice with a hand that never wavâ€" ered; and if his judgments erred but seldom on the side of mercy, none, even of the unhappy creatures .Who came before him, was ever heard to question their absolute impartiality. Not all who have worn the ermine can claim so much. In private life his lordship Was the most amiable of men. He doffed his stern-ness with his robes, and became wSYâ€"going even to the point of in- dlderence. Having always in his 0f~ ficial capacity to take a, hardâ€"andâ€"fast line and say what should and What should not be, it is quite conceivable that he was glad enough out of it to leave the task to others; and this. as a matter of fact, was his invari- able custom. He fell in with What- ever views were expressed, and sank his ownâ€"when he had anyâ€"with the utmost complacency. When his wife told him that their only daughter had fallen in love with a Clerk, he was perhaps momentarily astonished, but quite affable. If the happy man had been a bagman his concern would have been just as much hand as little. “Oh, let her marry him, my dear," he said, cheerfully. “Let her marry him if she Wants to. I have no obâ€" jection. We were young ourselves once!" .- “Yes, but-not necessarily idiots!" rotor-ted her ladyship. She, it may be remarked, was of different mould. When she had made up her unind, wild horses could not drag her from it. “Do what you like, of course; but don't expect me to be a party to it! 'A beggarly clerk with a, hundred and fifty a year! How Amy can be so foolish as to dream of it, I don’t know!" Needless to say, her ladyship car- ried the day, as she had done h’un- dreds of times previously. When the "beggarly clerk” called union him a week or so later, Sir Chlarles had quite come round ,to his wife’s way of thinking. He was most urbaneâ€"a bad Sign, had his visitor only known. “My dear sir,” he said, “I am delighted to make your acquaintance ~delighte‘d! I have heardâ€"ahemâ€"alâ€" reafdy Of my daUghter"sâ€"erâ€"little roâ€" mance, avid I congratulate you. She is a good girl, though I say it! Un- fortunately, if I understand you cor- rectly, yourâ€"ahdrmâ€"present circumâ€" stances h‘ardly warrant your taking a, wife just yet. Still, in a few years‘ time, of course, things may beâ€"crâ€" different; and then I Should 'be only too pleased torâ€"torâ€"euâ€"«lâ€"J’ Sir Charles cougihed again by way of saying that the situation was really ,very delicate; and the crestfalâ€" len suitor,- ‘who‘ had imagined other things, not being so dense as he rroâ€" bably looxod, took the 'hint and his Heperture. There the matter might very well have ended, but for the fact that the young lady herself pose sessed a generous share of the famin firmness. She made no comment at the moment, but a little more than a month later she went out at eleven one morning and sent a note home later in the day to say that she had been married to the man of her choice and was then starting on her honeyâ€" moon. Here was a bombshell. Who would have dreamed of such a thing? Lady Deane at once took refuge, as most strongâ€"minded women do on crises, in a fit of mysteries, and, as soon as she recovered, tried to cast the blame for it on her husband. Sir Charles said little. His love for his wife was , of the sort that suf‘l‘ereth long and is kind. He doubtless reflected that it Was an unfortunate business, but for the time being, at all events, kept his own counsel. As the months tolled by, became years, and there was still no news of the truant, the strain began to tell on him. He made no Sign outâ€" wardly of his grief. life was still the calm, logical, cloar~headcd judge; but those “"110 Watched closely noâ€" ticed an added severity in his man- ner. The counsel who sitcyped just outside the bounds of fair cormucnt, the witness who prevaricafcd, invari- ably quailcd before the weight of the judicial rebuke; while the prisoner- who licd obviously could subsequentâ€" ly reflectâ€"if reflection was in his naâ€" tureâ€"that his lying had added six mpntus or so to his sentence, and be remarkably near to the truth. Five years had gone by when the unexpected happcncd. Sir Charles took the Midland circuit that term. am] at ll'illborcmgli, where he arrived about the middle, the C1li<_'llll£\l' was horny. ll’o COlllJll"‘”iOl'l gravely on the fact. late. on the secou‘zl day a case of forgery came on. The acâ€" cused, a young man, pleaded guilty. 'A starving wife and child was his excuse for his lapse; an uncrossed cheque, forinirl in the street: and drawn in favor of the employer who had .‘turnoi him aWay shabbily three' months before, made up the story. lThe teriu‘rtation to for'gc.l.lre signature and buy food for his family was too strong to resist. He did so and. be- ing only half a, rogue, was pronr'pth,’ lomr'd out. The barrister who defended made' much of his theme.- He played with consummate skill on his hearers' emotions, an soon he'd many eyes Welling with tears. But those of the ermilned figure on the Bench were dry enough. Sir Charles had heard many a harrowing story. When counsel sat dowu, after a final impassioned apâ€" peal for mercy, he summoned up in terms as grim; as they Were brief. Forgery, he said, was a grave of- fence. It involved serious isslles. To allow an individual to commit it simply on the plea. that he was desâ€" titute Was impossibleâ€"would literally be placing a premium on Wrong-doâ€" ing. The duty of the jury was plam; the prisoner’s own admission, in fact, made their presence a formality only. It was well to remember that in these cases they had to be guided by the head and not the heart. Without leaving the box the twelve good. men and true returned their verâ€" dict: “Guilty!” ' A cry of anguish rang out from the back of the court. but the dramatic moment was not yet. Those who were lookersâ€"on only even went aWay with a sense of hav- ing been Cheated of their right, for his lordship curtly intimated that'in view of the lateness of the hour he slimlld postpone sentence till the morâ€" row.‘ ‘ . Five minutes later he was on ms Way to his lodgings, the prospect of rest and a comfortable meal before him. It turned out, however, that he was to enjoy neither. Bland on his own arrival came, a, woman asking to see him. She was breathless with hard Walking, her eyes had the look of a 'huntocl animal. “Impossible!” said his valet, to whom the question was addressed. “Iâ€"lis lordship can see no one." “It is a matter of life and death," she urged. “I cannot help it,” was the reply. “My orders are_strict. If you knew his lordship you wouldn‘t as}; me to break them." If she knew his lordship! Down came her last card. ' I “Tell Sir Charles that his daughter ,is here!" she flashed out. Urged into compliance, and yet doubting her veracity, the man went. “A lady wishes to speak to you, Sir," he said, deferentially. “She saysâ€"" ' “I have no wish to know what she says. Jackson. You know very well tlrat‘it is out of the question." "Is it?" ' His lordship wheeled round angrily. That he should be bearded like this Was too much. But the 'words on his tongue were never sfoken. “Amy!” he gasped. “Yes. You. didn't count on see- ing me?" _ " “No-o!" His heart tlrrobbed Wild- 1y. “Whereâ€"where have you been?" “Where? Oh, many places!" She dismissed the man with a nod. “I was in court just now whemâ€"w'hen you tried my husband." “Your husband! Heavens, what .a tragedy! And I could not thinkâ€"-â€"!' He was going to say that he could not think where he had seen him be fore. All the last hour it had bothâ€" ered himâ€"the dim knowledge that he had met the man previously. Now it came to him with a, rush. He was five years older, and he had grown a beard. That was all. “My husband." She paused 'rlraâ€" m'atically. “I am the starving wife you said Was no Mouse for forgery!" “Starving! And I did not know!" The words fell from him 'half un- consciously. “Why did you let it come to this?" he said, turning on her fiercely. “Why did you not writeâ€"come to incâ€"before?" “Because we were proud. We wanted to pull through it if we could. should not have come now ifâ€"rf things had not been what they are. 'Do you think I like suing for mercy â€"â€"I, who have kept away all these ycars’?" . “I‘rou'd? Yes, a fine pride!" There was bitterness in his tone. “When I could have helped you held aloof! Doubtless you thought I should refuse -sliould turn you away emptyâ€"handâ€" ed! Why? Was Iâ€"â€"was I hard be- fore?" Something like a sob broke from him. “Now you comeâ€"ah, Hea- ven! you comeâ€"wfnen it is too late!" “Too late!" “I can (‘0 nothing now!

If the junior Bar could have seen him as he sat hea'd hanging forâ€" ward, eyes closed, in the vain effort to blot out the memory of it, and fingers closing and relaxing with the sudden gusts of tempest in him. it would have stared long in astonis’hâ€" ment. This the man of iron nerve! This the man who had lost count of joys or sorrows! This the machine called 'Sir Charles Deancl. He sent his dinner away untouched, and sat far into the night staring hopelessly at the problem before him. A problem? Yes, that is the right Word! I On the one hand, affection, counsell- ed him with strenuous voice to be mercifulâ€"to throw all other consider- ations to the winds. If he would re- gain his daughter's love here was the wayâ€"the only way. On the other, obedience to duty:claimed him. It had played a strong part in his life, and the call was loud. Were the man and the woman any other he knew Well enough what would be the end. The knowledge that if he followed the dictates of his heart he would be acting against his convictions was gall and wormâ€" Wood to him. And he would inevitably be critiâ€" cized. They would say justly that he had been swayed by personal con- siderationsâ€"he who had endeavored all his life to hold the scales of jus- tice so evenly that none should comâ€" plain. At one stroke his reputation would be gone. Midnight had long struck when at length he trudged wearin upstairs to rest. as 4(- * it, 1» «li- Soon after the dawn came creeping up in the east he rose and dressed. Open-eyed he had lain the long night through, his brain on fire and his whole being racked with indecision. To stay there longer was impossible; physical action had become an imperâ€" ative need if he would save his san- ity. Putting on a light overcoat 'he went out of the house. It was a raw, chilly morning, but the nip of winter in the air was grateful; even the discomforting lash of; rain in his face came as a relief from the other. ,I-Iillborough was just awakening. The first workmen were hurrying off to their places of toil, one or two sleepy maidsâ€"ofâ€"allâ€"work came to the door as he passed and, uttering an expressive “Ugh!” retreated with a Shiver. and boys carrying newspapers under their arms hurried here and there, urged to an alacrity that was unusual by the need of warmth. But none looked at him, or, if they did, passed him: by without notice. He was glad. Recognition would have meant stares and pointing fingers, and he hated publicity. More than ever he wished to avoid it now. He pulled his coat up well to his ears, and averted his face from passerâ€"by. A new idea had come to him. He would walk as far as the gaol and see his sonâ€"inâ€"law. Possibly he might glean some fresh scrap of information which would let him in- cline with a, free conscience towards the consummation his heart desired. At any rate, he could see what stuff he was made of. It was a course altogether without precedent, and at best desperate hope. A weaker man would have hesitated: but be pressed forward vigorously, and soon reached his estimation. The governor of the great stone building was.astonished when told that Sir Charles Deane had called on him. He wondered what co'ul be the meaning of it... Sir Charles explained briefly. The governor was more astonished. I-l'e fidgeted aliitle before replying and seemed at a, loss for words. When he spoke his voice was low. 'fA most extraordinary thing, my lord. A sad one, too, if all that I is true!:’ His voice sank to a whisâ€" Der. “I have only just heard, and do not lnow how it happened. Of lcourse, there will be an inquiry."
