He was disturbed In his profound
abstraction by the slight noise Mr..
Sivory made In rising.
He looked up.
"And what If issue warrant--and
what II you are arrested ="
:" shall do my best to bear with the
annoyance"
Well, If find 1t necessary to issue
the warrant in question, l am pretty
certain that you will he allowed to see

Solitary confinement, If you like.
When u man reaches my age, apd when
he has lived as have lived, 1t is rather
pleasant change TO be alone, to be
retired, and to think out ones life If L
am thrown into prison my captivity
will give me some rest; and when L
turn out into the world again, l hope to
be less fevefish, and more robust. There
fore, sir, If you must order my arrest,
pray do not give me the opportunity of
seeing my friends"
Sir, your are free," said the magis-
trate. g. shall report to my superiors,
and the police, that 1 do not consider
that should be justified in issuing a
warrant. AT the same time l warn you
that you are liable to be indicted at the
assizes: and that you may be, as far as
am concerned. However, / believe
you to be perfectly innocent of any COM
plicity in the murder of Graham Forbes.
And now, good day"
Austin Sivory bowed, and left the
magistrates room. Apparently he was
too moved for speech.
When he was gone-Margaret, who
had so Loyalty kept her word, who by
no sound or movement had betrayed
her listening presence, opened the door
of the side office, and came with slow,
measured step toward the magistrate.
Coming at last near him, she stopped,
raised her right hand, pointed after
Austin SlvOry, and said, in low, eager
voice, {" That man is Graham Forbes
murderer"

have to do is to lay my plans, and sub
init them, sir, to your notice, when L
hope that you will feel that in helping
me you will then be doing the proper
thing"
Then turning to Margaret, who had
stood by perfectly silent and patient
during the conversation between the
magistrate and the detective, and in
whose opinion Webber had become the
very carnification of the power who was
to track Graham's assassin, he said,
Miss, before long l may want 10 see
you. Will you give your people orders
that am to be admitted when L do
call p"
Certainly" said Margeret. "Call
when you will, and at any hour. /
shall always be grateful to see YOU"
The detective smiled, saIuted the
magistrate, and withdrew, softly.
Immediately after, Margaret was shown
by the magistrate to the cab waiting for
her, and he himself returned to his court
to finish the days business. Continued
next week.

CHAPTER v.
THE SPY.

Recovering the surprise he naturally
felt upon hearing so direct an accusation
as that made by Margaret against Austin
Sivory, the magistrate, Mr.. Caellem,
leaped to the natural conclusion that
Margaret's grief rendered her unjust.
To put the most favorably construction
upon the young lady's words, the man
of justice felt that the unhappy Mar
garet, in her eagerness to avenge her
affianced husbands death, imagined she
saw the murderer in every man upon
whom her sight fell.
But in reply to all the magistrates
arguments in favor of Austin Sivory,
she could only find this answer: 4" L am
not deceived"
Have you, then, noticed" !" asked the
judge, anything in his attitude, looks
or words, which struck you as unfavor-
able 2"
If not upon what do you base-not
your suspicious, but your absolute con-
viction ?"
Upon nothing, and upon everything.
For the moment that man entered this
room, felt that something strange was
passing within my brain and heart.
When he spoke, my every nerve trem-
bled. Why, if he is innocent, should
his presence produce in me this effect
Already have looked upon two men as
halfaccused of Graham's death, and 1
was not moved. This man Austin
Sivory is to me no stranger; though 1
never saw him before to-day. He is part
of my life. / have suffered through
him, and through him L shall suffer
again. OF this L am certain-of this

Perhaps; but not at this moment.
feel that all my reason is at work. -
Whence came the unbounded, troubled
terror felt, when saw this man, q
total stranger as supposed, for the first
time? say he is the guilty man ~
The magistrate was hesitating what
to say, when the court usher entered,
after obtaining permission, and handed
him note.
4" Is he outside 20 asked the magis-
trate, after glancing at the communica-
ton.
"Yes, SIR"
&C Let him come in.''
A moment after, the door opened, and
Paul Webber obsequiously entered the
room.
You wish to speak with me, L be-
lieve S'' said the magistrate.
"Yes sir. have been instructed by
the authorities to put myself in commu-
nication with you concerning the mur.
der in Taggart's Inn."
"Did you call there upon this lady Y'i
asked the magistrate.
Yes, ,'but the lady would not see me,
sir" replied Paul Webber, glinting from
under his blue spectacles at Margaret
Mayter.
"Do you know all the details of this
affair 2'
"As well as anybody. L was one OF
the first of the police people to inspect
| the scene of the murder.''

The Scales and the sword.

Prof. Won lhering of the University Of Goettingen
All the law in the world has been obtained
by strife. Every principle of law which
man obtains had first to be wrung by force
from those who denied it; and every legal
right-the legal rights of a whole nation as
well as those of mdividuals-supposes con-
tinual readiness to assert ii and defend it.
The law is not mere theory, but living
force. And hence it is that Justice, which in
one hand holds the scales in which she
weighs the right. carries in the other the
sword with which she executes it. The
sword without the scales is brute force, the
scales without the sword is the impotence OF
law. The scales and the sword belong to-
gether, and the state of the law is perfect
only where the power with which Justice
CARRIES the sword is equaled by the skill
with which she holds the scales.
Law is an uninterrupted labor, and not OF
the State power only, but of the entire peo
pie. The entire life of the law embraced in
one glance, presents US with the same spec.
tacle of restless striving and working of 9
whole nation, afforded by its activity in the
domain of economic and intellectual pro
duction. Every individual placed in a posi-
ton in which he is compelled to defend hi
legal rights takes part in this work of thu
nation, and contributes his mite toward thu
realization of the idea of law on earth.

A curious letter, said to have been written
by Napoleon I. to his father, when the future
Emperor was mere child and pupil at the
military school at Brienne, has Just been
published in France. 1t is dated April 8,
1881. and runs thus: Father, If you or my
protectors can rot afford me the means Of
living more honorably in this house, bring
me back home at once. am tired of pro-
claiming my indulgence, and Of seeing the
sneers Of insolent scholars, whom nothing
but their fortune elevates above me, but
there is not one who Is not hundred pixies
below the noble sentiments which
animate me. Is your son TO remain
the laughing stock of q few paltoquets,
who, vain OF their own means Of
enjoyment, insult me by smiling at my pri-
vations? If you are unable to afford me any
improvement of my position here, take me
away from Brienne, and put me into some
mechanical position. From this offer you
may Judge Of my despair. Please believe
that my letter has not been dictated by the
vain deaire Of indulgingin expensive amuse-
ments, which ! have no taste for. l only

came to hear the temperance lecture re-

Wade was Immediately conducted to the
jail. During the reading of the verdict ana
the time occupied in going to the jail he
showed no emotion, He was closely 0b-
served, but there was no change of color,
not even tremor OF his body, to indicate
that he was in any manner affected. On the
way TO the Jail he remarked, but not In re-

Of interest, and when be had concluded, che

or more solemn than those now hanging over
us. And it is for that purpose that have Of
fered this order. 1t is that the people of
the State of Maine may have submitted to the
court these questions for final adjudication.
When in a few days there comes from the
court the direction which its right and author
ity gives to it, not only will this House obey
it, but, Mr.. Speaker, the people of the State
of Maine will take it as final exposition of
the law upon the question of the organization
of this body and it will be expected that every
body throughout the borders of the State will
accept the law laid down by the Supreme
Judicial Court.
1t will be woeful day for the state of Maine
when anybody shall volunteer to lift his hand
against such decision. The people of Maine
believe in peace. They believe perhaps as no
other pele believe in order. They have been
represented here by the men whose faces
now see before me. They have been repre-
sented here with moderation. with a patience
that is exceedingly great and has been long
suffering, and tonight has brought this mat
ter to the head which we now witness.
L offer this order and only make these brief
remarks in explanation, not but that it may be
well understood, but because l thought II
proper that the attitude OF OF this House
should be placed clear before the State and
the country
Although offering the order do not myself

WASHINGTON.
The Mails and the Lotteries.

Inc Mails ana the LOTTERIES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL. - The Postmaster
General to-day sent very long report to Con
gress in sresponse to a resolution asking in
formation relative to the use of the mails by
lotteries. He shows by letter of the attorney
general of Kentucky, that the lotteries in that
State exist in violation of the law. The draw
ings of Canadian and New, Brunswick com.
States, no action will be taken by the depart
ment in the matter of the return of registered
letters and the non payment of money orders.
Orders have been issued, however to the post
master at Calais, Maine, where the New
Brunswick lottery has an agent, in regard to
such letters and orders.
He cites several swindling concerns which
have been indicted, including the North Den
yer Land Company, the Kansas Land Com
pany, the Commonwealth Distribution Com
pany, &C., and gives the names of parties who
have been driven out of this business. He
devotes considerable space to what has been
accomplished in closing bogus banking con-
Germs in New York.
Four Negroes Implicated in a Murder.
A coroner's inquest to investigate the muir
der of George p. Hirth, who was brutally
killed and robbed on the street last Wednes-
day night was adjourned from Saturday on
account of insuf1ciency of evidence, until to-
day. The police have since made another ar
rest and now have four negroes in custody,
with sufficient evidence to convict them. There
is great excitement over the affair and the
police were compelled to take the prisoners to
Jail in close carriage, and under strong
guard to prevent any act from the crowd.
Indian Raids.
Astelegram received at the War Depart
ment from Chicago says the commanding Off
Ger at Fort Stanton reports to the District of
Mexico nnder the date of Jan. I'd, that he is
informed of Indians raiding in the vicinity of
the Roswell and the Black and Delaware
rivers, and fears are entertained they will de-
clare war on all citizens of Pecos Valley. Full
particulars will be telegraphed to the COM
manding officer at Fort Bayard for his i'm
mediate action. Gen. Pope ordered all cavalry
in Southern New Mexico to march rapidly
against these Indians.

the trial of the prisoners and prominent names
be brought out by the accused if allowed to
testify on their own behalf. The prisoners are
kept under very close surveillance to prevent
them from disclosing to any one, except an OF,

accomplices.
