tragedies committed that do not require the
Diudgeon. They are accomplished by
treacnery which stabs deeper, with a shaft
that Is far more poisonous than any that
was ever hurled by the savage Of the
forest. He had murdered her life. He had
ruined her hope. He knew it, and he still
mad some conscience, and he few from it as
a man would fly from an avengiug angel
DelleVe IL haunted his dreams at night, and
he proposed TO be away from this town for
ten months until be was certain as to the
consequences OF his act. And so he sought
to deceive her, and they sent word that he
had gone to Montana, while all the time he
was at the east: and shortly after Mrs Hart
left Tor the east also. She knew where he
was. She knew when he returned. She
says they came back about the same time.
They came back here, and this girl had
grown no better. She was of that nature
that she could not
PUT THAT MANS PICTURE
out of her heart. She was OF that nature
that, instead of her love growing less. it
increased. My brother gave to this girl an
exceedingly able cross examination. | will
say this for the people of this territory,
that 1t has never been my experience at
the bar TO find case that was prosecuted
with more vigor Or with more ability. The
people cannot complain, whatever your
verdict may be, for the prosecuting OFF
GERS have certainly done their full duty. 1
could not help as a member of the bar, but
admire the ingenious and able cross-exam-
NATION OF my brother OF this girl. 1 say |
could not help 1t, because, as lawyer /
admire good piece of legal work. and
say TO you as lawyer, that it stands forth
In the history of this bar as a superb piece
| of cross-examination. She grew, as she
| said IN her cross-eXaminaton, to love him
more and more. He had been to her the
very rising and the setting of the sun, and
he grew to her to be the very world. Nay
more, he grew to her to be all that is in the
earth and above the earth, yea in heaven
itself.
We have here young girl completely
wrapped up in man 10 an extent that her
whole mind, her whole heart, her virtue,
| is given to him, She has kept her secret
She has kept the faith. She has suffered
intense distress. She sits there to-day in
your presence, sustained by that mother
who gave her birth, but she does not need
| to-day an arm to sustain her as she did
during those ten long months that 10 her
were living death. All who can paint the
! heIgnt, the depth, the breadth of q wOmau'S
love! Who can paint the sorrow that this
| girl suffered at that time. 1t would seem
TO me that any man whose heart was not
made OF stone, as he glancss at that poor
little girl, who, though she is surrounded
to-day by those who love her is yet alone
IN this world, whOuld melt. Aye, it does
seem to me that this is story of such dis
tress that its mere recital must harrow the
! heart of every hearer. That being so, how
must this girl have been tortured How
| her intellect, her mind, her very soul must
have been torul How her little heart must
have throbbed, and each throb
MUST HAVE BEEN BEAT OF PAIXa
Stop and think, if you will, for moment
| OF those you love; think for moment how
YOU W ould feel if they were torn from YOU,
as plant is torn from the soil Stop and
| think of that for moment, and then see if
you can imagine how you would feel if you
found that your all mad gone. Add to that
feeling the sorrow, the distress, the ieal-
ousy, the anguish, the melancholy, the ut
| ter hopelessness with which this girls life
was overwhelmed. I confess that | cannot
paint TO you the misery that she suffered.
| 1t was so great that when she heard that Q
had come back here into this town, there
came into that little soul, into that little
heart, such shafts of pain that she was fllt
with feelings of giddiness and was unable
to pursue her work; and the next morning,
as she stood dressing herself, with the pain
still in her heart, looking across the way
she saw him-saw the man she loved, saw
the man that she would lay her life down
for, saw the man that mad brought to her
so much of pain, of sorrow, of suffering.
God abovel Is it any wonder that at that
moment that little girl was completely
overwhelmed with trouble and distress,
and that she tainted there and then! Do
you think she could eat after that3 Do
you wonder that, as she went down that
morning and told her mother how she was,
that food to her was tasteless! Aye, there
was the man she loved, there was the man
for whom she would have died, there was
the man for whom she had given up every
thing. Into her life
ONCE MORE HE HAD COME.
My brother says that jealousy had some
! thing to do with it, and believe him. One
of the greatest judges that ever lived said
, that jealousy is the most powerful frenzy
of the human heart" In the human breast
there are seated all the emotions that God
has given to man Jealousy-jealousy,
given to him that he shall guard his house
hold, guard his own life, and that which Is
his own, guard his hearthstone, and his
wife Bnd his little ones from those who
would betray them. Jealousy is placed in
the breast of a girl that she shall guard her
, love. Love is plBced there-love, the twin
sister of jealousy, because they go hand in
hand; and with it anger, with it remOrse,
with 1t fear, with 1T all the human emo
tions. 1t is fearful tenantry that in
! habits the human breast, and when they
are aroused in conflict, and war together as
: they must have warred in the breast of
that poor girl that morning, it is sufficient
to sweep from the feet the strongest man
: that ever walked the earth.
Do you wonder that the girl was dis
tressed at such a time as that. She tainted
, Her physical nature was not sufficient to
bear up, and she went to her mother-went
to her mother as she did when she learned
= from her mothers lips the first words tnat
! she ever uttered-went to that person who
> to man and woman Is the dearest, the holi-
est. the noblest of all Of Gods creations.
