I was alive, rfecoville had shot a man for his money. "'I had struck a man down in my wrath. Scoville's widow and little child must face a cold and unsympathetic world, with small means and disgrace rising, like a wall, between them and social sympathy, if not between them and the actual means of living. Oliver's future faced him untouched. "No shadow lay across his path to hin­ der his happiness or .to mar his chances. The results were uneqnal. I began to see them so, and feel the gnawing of that deathless worm whose rav­ ages lay waste the hrea«t, while hand »nd brain fulfill their routine of work, ^ as though all were well and the foun- Nations of life unshaken. |V/ I suffered as only cowards suffer. I field on to honor; I held on to home; I held on to Oliver, but with mfeery for my companion and a self-contempt which nothing could abate. Each time I mounted the bench I felt a tug at v{ /. my arm as of a visible, restraining fS^^resence. Each time I returned to my fc^vihome and imet the clear eye of Oliver jif; ..beaming upon me with its ever-grow- ^k'^ Jng promise of future comradeship, I Ife-^experienced a rebellion against my <f<". \-own happiness which opened my eyes v ;t° my pwn nature and its inevitable ^demand. I must give up Oliver, or ^y;(^yield my honors, make a full confes- &;Vv,*ion and accept whatever conse- . Iquences it might bring. I am a proud ,'^jman, and the latter alternative was be- tyond me. I could forego pleasure, ^Vi'Jtravel, social intercourse, and even i Ufthe companionship of the one being in all my hopes centered, but I i ̂ j Vcould not, of my own volition, pass giLJu from ^jje judge's bench to the felon's M cell. There I struck the immovable-- the impassable. I decided in one awful night of re­ nunciation that I would send Oliver out of my life. The next day I told him abruptly ... hurting him to spare myself . . . that I had decided after long and ma­ ture thought to yield to his desire for journalism, and that I would start him in his career and maintain him in it • ^ .forx three years if he would subscribe • to the following conditions: They were, the hardest a loving fa­ ther ever imposed upon a dutiful and loving son. First, lie was to leave home immedi­ ately , - . . within a few hours, in fact. . Second, he was to regard all rela­ tions between us as finished; we were to be strangers henceforth in every particular save that of the money ob­ ligation already mentioned. Third, he was never to acknowledge this compact, or to cast any slur upon the father whose reasons for this ap- . parently unnatural conduct were quite disconnected with any fault of his or any desire to punish or reprove. Fourth, he was to pray for his fa­ ther every night of his life before he slept. Was tills last a confession? Had I meant It to be such? If so, it missed its point It awed but did not frighten him. I had to contend with his compunc- tions, as well as with grief and dis­ may. It was an hour of struggle on his "part and of implacable resolution on mine. Nothing but such hardness on my part would have served me. Had I faltered once he would have won me over, and the tale of my sleep­ less nights been repeated. I did not falter, and when the midnight stroke . rang through the house that night ;1| it separated by its peal a sin-beclouded f but human paBt from a future arid - ^' with solitude and Weft of the one possession to retain which my sin had been hidden. I became a father without a son--as lonely and as desolate as though the uOGD AND EVIL* IN EXERCISE *r> ••• K separation between us were that of the grave I had merited and so weakly shunned. But I was not yet satisfied. How could I insure for myself the extreme punishment which my peace demand­ ed, without bringing down upon me the full consequences I refused to accept. You have seen how I ultimate­ ly answered this question. A convict's bed! a convict's isolation! But after Bome weeks of tills, fresh fears arose. An accident was possible. For all Bela's precautions, someone might gain access to this room. This would mean the discovery of my se­ cret. And this fence was built. This should have been enough. But guilt has terrors unknown to inno­ cence. One day I caught a small boy peering through an infinitesimal crack in the fence, and, remembering the window grilled with iron with which Bela had replaced the cheerful case­ ment in my den of punishment, I real­ ized how easily an opening might be made between the boards for the con­ venience of a curious eye anxious to penetrate the mystery of my seclusion. And 60 it came about that the inner fence was put up. This settled my po­ sition in the town. No more visits. All social life was over. It was meet. I was satisfied at last I could now give my whole mind to my one remain­ ing duty.' I lived only while on the bench. Marfch 5. 1898. There is a dream which comes to me often--a vision which I often see. It is that of two broken and irregu­ lar walls standing apart against a background of roseate sky. Between these walls the figures of a woman and child, turning about to go. The bridge I never see, nor the face of the man who died for my sin; but this I see always--the gaunt ruins of Spencer's Folly and the figure of a woman leading away a little child. That woman lives. I know now who she is. Her testimony was uttered be­ fore me in court and was not one to rouse my apprehensions. My crime was unwitnessed by her, and for years she has been a stranger to this town. But I have a superstitious horror of seeing her again, while believing that the day will come when I shall do 60. When this occurs--when I look up and find her in my path, I shall know that my sin has found me out and that the end is near. 1909 0 shade of Algernon Etheridge, un- forgetting and unforgiving!

But who can understand the ways of-Providence or where the finger of retributive justice will point. It is Oliver's name and not mine which has become the sport of calumny. Oliver's! Could the Irony of life go further! Oliver's! There is nothing against him, and such folly must soon die out; but to see doubt in Mrs. Scoville's eyes is horrible in itself and to eliminate it I may have to show her Oliver's ac­ count of that long-forgotten night of crime in Spencer's Folly. It is naively written and reveals a clean. If reticent, nature; but that its effect may be unquestionable I will insert a few lines to cover any possible misinter­ pretation of his manner and conduct There is an open space, and our hand­ writings were always strangely alike.

CHAPTER XIX. * : Sunset - "I do not wish to seem selfish. Oli­ ver, but sit a little nearer the window, where I can see you whenever I open my eyes. Twelve years is a long time to make up, and I have such a little while in which to do it." Oliver moved. The moisture sprang to his eyes as he did so. He had taught a glimpse of the face on the pillow and the changes made in a week wete very apparent. Always erect, his fa­ ther had towered^ above them then even in his self-abasement, but he looked now as though twenty years, instead of a few days, had passed over his stately head and bowed his in- as nearly back to beck as possible. ' Then, standing very erect, mount the stairs slowly, and before half the ascent is made every cell in the lungs will have been expanded many times These exercises are excellent for anv one whose heart is in good condition, but when this organ is in a diseased state it is well to avoid stair climbing whenever possible. comparab!* Ggnre. And not that alone. His expression was different. Had Oliver not seen him in his old likeness for that one terrible half-hour, he would not know these features, so sunken, yet so eloquent with the peace of one for whom all struggle is over, and the haven of his long rest near. Had he been able at this moment to look beyond the fences which his fear had reared, he would have seen at either gate a silent figure guarding the walk, and recalled, perhaps, the hor­ ror of other days when at the contem­ plation of Buch a prospect, his spirit recoiled upon itself in unimaginable horror and revolt. And yet, who knows! Life's passions fade when the heart is at peace. And Archibald Os- trander's heart was at peace. Why, his next words will show. "Oliver"--his voice was low but very distinct, "never have a secret; nevei' hide within your bosom a thought you fear the world to know. If you've done wrong--if you have dis­ obeyed the law either of God or man-- seek not to hide what can never be hidden so long as God reigns or men make laws. I have suffered, as few men have suffered and kept their rea­ son intact. Now that my wickedness is known, the who'e page of my life defaced, content has come again. I am no longer a deceiver, my very worst is known.". "Oliver?"--This some minutes later. "Are we aJone?" "Quite alone, father. Mrs. Scovflle is busy and Reuther--Reuther is In the room above. I can hear her light step overhead." The Judge was silent. He was gaz­ ing wistfully at the wall where hung the portrait of his young wife. He was no longer in his room, but in the cheery front parlor. This Deborah had insisted upon. There was, therefore, nothing to distract him froiji the con­ templation I have mentioned. "There are things I want to say to yoU. Not many; you already know my story. But 1 do not know yours, and I cannot die till I do. What took you into the ravine that evening, Oliver, and why, ^having picked up the stick, did you fling it from you and fly back to the highway? For the reason 1 ascribed to Scoville? Tell me, that no cloud may remain between us. Let me know your heart as well as you now know mine." The reply brought the blood back into his fading cheek. "Father, I have already explained all this to Mr. Andrews, and now I will explain it to you. I never liked Mr. Etheridge as well as you did, and I brooded incessantly in those days over the influence which he seemed to exert over you in regard to my future career. But I never dreamed of do­ ing him a harm, and never supposed that I could so much as attempt any argument with him on my own behalf till that very night of infernal compli­ cations and coincidences. The cause of this change was as follows: I had gone up-stairs, you remember, leaving you alone with him as I knew you de­ sired. How I came to be in the room above I don't remember, but I was there and leaning out of the window directly over the porch when you and Mr. Etheridge came out and stood in some final debate on/the steps be­ low. He was talking and you were lis­ tening, and never shall I forget the ef­ fect his words and tones had upon me. I had. supposed him devoted to you. and here he was addressing you tartly and in an ungracious manner which bespoke a mtn very different from the one I had been taught to look upon as superior. The awe of years yielded before this display, and finding him just human like .the r$st of us, the courage which I had always lacked in approaching him took instant posses­ sion of me, and I determined with a boy's unreasoning impulse to subject him to a personal appeal not to add his influence to the distaste you at present felt for the career upon which I had set my heart. Nothing could have been more foolish and nothing more natural, perhaps, than the act which followed. I ran down into the ravine with the wild intention, so strangely duplicated in yourself a few minu^s later, of meeting and pleading my cause with him at the bridge, but unlike you, I took the middle of the ravine for my road and not the se­ cluded path at the side. It was this which determined our fate, father, for here I saw the stick and, catching it up without further thought than of the facility it offered/for whittling, started with it down the ravine. Scoville was not in sight. The moment was the one when he had quit looking for Reu- ther and wandered away up the ra­ vine. I have thought since that per­ haps the glimpse he had gojt of bis lit­ tle one peering from the scene of his crime may have stirred even his guilty conscience and sent him off on his purposeless rambie; but, however this was, I did not see him or anybody else as I look my way leisurely down towards the bridge, whittling at the stick and thinking of what I should say to Mr. Etheridge when I met him. And now for fate's final and most fatal touch! Nothing which came into my rtlnd struck me quite favorably. The encounter which seemed such a very simple matter when I first contem NOT AN IMPRESSIVE MONARCH Flowers in Potatoes.

Sbort and stocky, he moves wttb a queer, sidelong gait, like a gouty crab; a man so wooden looking that you would expect his voice to come rasping out like a watchman's rattle. A complexion »like crude tallow-- marked for death, whenever death Wants him--to be taken some time In half an hour, or left, neglected by the skeleton king, for years, perhaps, if properly coddled.

By the time I had come abreast of the hollow, I was tired of the whole business, and hearing his Whistle and knowing by it that he was very near, I plunged up the slope to avoid him, and hurried straight away into town. That is my story, father. If I heard your stepB approaching as 1 plunged across the path Into which I had thrown the stick In my anger at having broken the point of my knife- blade upon it, I thought nothing of them then. Afterwards I believed them to be Scoville's, which may ac* count to you for my silence about this whole matter both before and during the trial. I was afraid of the witness stand and of what might be elicited from me if I once got into the hands of the lawyers. My abominable reticence in regard to his former crime would be brought up against me, and I was too young, too shy and uninformed to face such an ordeal of my own voli­ tion. Unhappily, I was not forced into it, and-- But we will not talk of that father." "Son,"--a long silence had inter­ vened--"there is one thing more. When --how--did you first learn my real rea­ son for sending you from home? 1 saw that my position was understood by you when our eyes first met In this room. But twelve years had passed since you left this house in ignorance of all but my unnatural attitude to­ wards you. When, Oliver, when?" "That I cannot answer, father; It was just a conviction which dawned gradually upon me. Now, It seems as if I had known It always; but that isn't so.. A boy doesn't reason; and it took reasoning for me tcP--to ac­ cept--" "Yes, I understand. And that was your secret! Oh, Oliver, I shall never ask for your forgiveness. I am not worthy of It. I only ask that you will not let pride or any other evil -pas­ sion stand in the way of the happi­ ness I see in the future for you. I "This Is My Story, Father." cannot take from you the shame of mj crime and long deception, but spare me this final sorrow! There is noth­ ing to part you from Reuther now. Alike unhappy in your parentage, you can start on equal terms, and love will do the rest. Say that you will marry her, Oliver, and let me see her smile before I die." "Marry her? Oh. father, will such an angel marry me?" "No. but such a woman might." Oliver came pear, and stooped over his father's bed. "Father, if love and attention to my profession can make a success of the life you prize, they Bhall have their opportunity." The father smiled. If it fell to Oth­ ers to remember him as he appeared in his mysterious prime, to Oliver It was given to recall him as he looked then with the light on his face and the last tear be was ever to shed glitter­ ing in biB fading eye. "God is good," came from the bed,; then the solemnity of death settled over the room. The soft footfalls overhead ceased. The long hush had brought the two women to the door where they stood sobbing. Oliver was on his knees be­ side the bed, his head burled in his arms. On the face so near him there rested a ray from the westering Bun; but the glitter was gone from the eye and the unrest from the heart. No more weary vigils in a room dedi­ cated to remose and self-punishment. No more weary circling of the house in the dark lane whose fences barred out the hurrying figure within from every eye but that of heaven. Peace for him; and for Reuther and Oliver, hope! (THE END.)

R. Tbayer for Harper's Magazine. Soissons. Soissons. whose ruined cathedral now takes rank with Reims, has a re­ ligious and a military history unpar­ alleled among French towns. More than one great abbey took root in th» town, but the greatest o" all was that of St. Medard. whose abbot, in the thirteenth century, lorded it over 220 villages, with innumerable manors and vassals. ' St. Medard drew tn 1530 over 300,000 pilgrims to the famous shrine. One or two of the early kings of France are buried in what remains of the crypt of the old abbey. Every war that France has suffered from has visited Soissons with intense se­ verity, sacking and bembardujeui fol­ lowing fast and following faster.

WOUNDS ARE NOT SERIOUS 9 War Fanatic Enters Home of Finan­ cier and 8hoots Victim Twice-- Asserts His Purpose Was to --- Stsp Munitions* - Glencove, N.'Y., July 7.--J. P. Mor­ gan, who was shot, twice by Frank Holt at the banker's country home on Saturday, was reported to be in ' no serious danger. Morgan continues to show improvement. The only bulletin issued was reassuring. It said that the bullet did not enter the abdomen and that an X-ray examination showed that no bones had been damaged. It was said that the financier was rest­ ing easily. The first shot struck the right hip and went through In a line almost horizontal, deflecting and slightly downward. The second shot struck nearer the groin and was deflected much more sharply downward. This shot came out of the upper leg. Mother and Wife Suffer. It was learned, however, that Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, mother of the wounded financier, was in a serious nervous conditkm as a result of the shock caused by the shooting. The financier's wife also was said to be bordering on collapse. Meantime Junius Spencer Morgan and his bride, the wounded banker's son and daughter-in-law, who reached the country home in the afternoon in expectation of attending a house party in their hpnor at which 13 guests were to be present, were aid­ ing three trained nurses in caring for the sufferer, his wife and mother. The newly wedded couple were ignorant of the shooting until they arrived at the mansion. Assailant Sought War's End. 4 Holt, who was formerly an instruc­ tor in German in Cornell university, is in jail In Glencove. He confessed that it was he who placed in the caj>- itol at Washington the infernal ma­ chine that damaged the senate win#. In addition, he had explained the shooting of Mr. Morgan, saying he went to the Morgan home with the purpose of Inducing Mr. Morgan to stop tl*«3 exoort of arms and munitions from the United States to the allies in Europe and thereby end the great war. Mr. Morgan, who is the head of the great bank ng house of J. P. Morgan & Co., is tne financial agent of the British government In the purchase of war supplies in America. British Ambassador Present. With Mr. Morgan when he was ehol was Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador to the United States, * close personal friend. Holt, the assailant. Is an American- bom cltJeen. forty years o]d. He said that both of his parents were Ameri> cans and that his remote ancestors were French and German. The assailant carried two revolvers when he attacked Mr. Morgan. A stick of dynamite was found in a coat pocket. Dynamite In His Suiteasf. ; In his suitcase, left outslde-.of. the reeldence, were .two sticks of dyna­ mite and a number of newspapers and pewBpaper Clippings. Holt said he had come with this literature to convince Mr. Morgan that the export of ammu­ nition to the allies should be stopped, fcnd that he carried the ^weapons in case of trouble. He said repeatedly that he fired only to frighten Mr. Mor g»n, and that Mr. Morgan was wound­ ed because he had thrown himself for ward violently in-the way of the bul­ lets instead of waitj^g to listen to what Holt had to say. Mr. Morgan's- butler put an end to Holt's attempts to flee by bringing a lump of coal down on his right tem pie. After that the butler and the servants took charge of the assailant. Holt Explains Motive. Holt was locked in a cell. "I fired to scare him," Holt said. "They tell me I hit him. I hope he is not badly hurt." The statement prepared by Holt, ad­ dressed to Justice Luyster, was signed "F. Holt. Dallas, Texas, and Ithaca. " Itfeads: •My motive in coming here was to try to force Mr. Morgan to use his In­ fluence with the manufacturers of munitions in the United States and with the. millionaires who are financ­ ing the war loans to have an embargo put on shipments of war munitions so as to relieve the American people from complicity in the death of thousand!! of our European brothers. "Of course, I did not want to in­ jure Mr. Morgan, as I wanted him to do the work I could not do. I hope that he will do* his share, anyhow. We must stop our participation In the killing of Europeans and God will take care of the rest." Holt said that his plan when he in­ vaded the Morgan residence was to 1 eld Mrs. Morgan and her younger Children as hostages in a room. Then he said he planned to stand guard over them with his two revolv­ ers and stick of dynamite, keeping their lives in danger until Mr. Mor­ gan accompllched Holt'B vision of In­ ducing manufacturers of arms and am­ munition to quit exporting them.
