CHAPTER TX.

"Him no soft thoughts, no gratitude could
move;
To gold he fed, from beauty and from love"
Our scene is bedroom In Lawaon's
house: 1t was midnight the room was
soantily furnished with simply q small
bedstead 10 one corner, an old wooden
washstand In another, q rickety chair
and small deal table ornamented with
q bottle and tin osndlestick; these com
pleted the necessities of its occupant
who was lying on the floor far from be.
ing sober, he raised himself with difficult
ty and supported bis head with bis
hands. He looked man Of fifty, but
his looks belied him, he was but thirty,
as to loosen his tongue; listen.
Curse him! Ihave been fool, l am
still greater fool, but oh God how can
get away? l have no money now, all
gOne-into his pocket, curse him, but l
am a murderer" He looked at his
hands. Il was drunk then, am drunk
now, and fear-I fear always shall be-.
God forgive me. l wish | were dead"
He covered his face and sobbed like q
child.
Ten years ago George Pearson was q
promising young man; He inherited
comfortable fortune, gave up his pro-
fession, made the acquaintance Of sew
eral young men, amongst whom was
Richard Lawson. All were willing to
lead him into vice of every description
until a night came that found him a
murderer as he thought. Pearson was
drunk and was discovered the folio wing
morning with dead man in his room
evidently murdered. None but Lawson
could tell the truth as to the cause of his
death, but it suited him to allow Pear
son to believe he had taken the life of
his companion in revelry. This en-
riched Lawson, who held 1t over him
and converted Pearson into a slave.
Such was the position OF this miserable
mao, bound as with thousand chains.
=, The door opened, as a groan escaped
Pearson, and Lawson entered. his face
was bloody, he looked like wild beast
