away went Paddy, and before Mrs.
/ LLghtace recovered from the shock,
Nancy rushed i'm to say that the wagon
had gone of with some of the thing,
in 1T. If Mrs. Lightlacc had been wise.
she would have sent for brother James
to help her out Of her embarrassment:
but, alas for the foolish ambition of
women, She could not make up her
mind TO sacrifice her reputation for in
dependence and strength of charac-
ter; she would win the battle herself.
and no one should know the particu-
lars OF the struggle II was too late to
take any steps that evening. but i'm the
morning she would "havc that wretch
arrested as sure as / am born. As
nothing had been surcr than that fact
for moro years than Mrs Lightlace
would have cared to ACKNOWLEDGE. we
need not be surprised that the morning
found her with no dimnutIon of her
determination. She took seat at the
breakfast table, and then ordered Nancy
to summon "a policeman; and that OIL
clal presenting himself. She informed
him that she wished him TO arrest Paddy
O Rourk at once. She was somewhat
dismaycd at the Intelligence that she
would have to obtain warrant at the
police court before that could be done.
But even this news did not alter her de-
termination. At ten o clock she sailed
forth. Poor little timid Alice with tear
ful eyes insisted ON going with her.
This was permitted until they arrived
at the entrance OF the fOrmidablc-look-
ing building on Sixth avenue. when
Mrs. Lightlacc, feeling her own heart
quailmg, positively refused TO allow her
young daughter To 90 further; so Alice
retired TO store opposite, and waited
her temperance.
Mrs. Lightlace, il must be confessed,
felt quickcning of her hcart-bcats rs
with Tagging footsteps She mounted
the steps leading into the court of
Justice. If she had not had a character
to sustain she would have turned back
then and there: but as that could not
bc. she coniidcd her trouble TO the tall
policeman at the door 1t was rcassur-
ing TO mark his Indignation at the
recital. The villain'' he exclaimed.
'hc will get six months sure. just YOU

time comes; then 90 up and tell the
nudge all about 10, and he will have il
all right in minute"
While he had been speaking. our
heroine had been looking past the
speaker into tho untI'icd field upon
which she was about to enter IL was
strange sight to her inexperienced
eyes the Immense hall filled with
motley crowd of black, white. and
yellow men, women, and children, cul-
m'nating i'm the Judge platform at
tine farther end, where he now sat adj
mniai"ring Justice by the wholesale.
Ill present attention was concentrated
upon a sadly Hloatcd woman who stood

About the Judge were grouped men
