A gentleman in England died, leaving
his fortune by will to two sons The
son that staid at home destroyed the
fathers will and pretended that the
brother who was absent was dead and
buried. The absent brother after while
returned and claimed his part Of the
property. Judges and jurors were to be
bribed to say that the returned brother
and son was no son at all, but only an
impostor The trial came on. Sir Mat
thew Hale. the pride Of the English
courtroom and for twenty years the
pride Of Jurisprudence, heard that injus-
tice was about to be practiced. he put
of his official robe. He put on the garb
Of a miller. he went to the village where
the trial was to take place. He entered
the courtroom. He somehow got i'm
paneled as one Of the jurors. The bribes
came around, and the man gave ten
pieces Of gold to the other jurors, but ~
this was only poor miller the bribeT
gave to him Only i've pieces Of gold.
A verdict was brought In rejecting the
rights Of this returned brother. he was
to have no share in the inheritance.
"Hold, my lord," said the miller.
"Holdl We are not all agreed on this
verdict. These other men have received
ten pieces Of gold in bribery, and have
received only five" "Who are youi
Where did you come from? said the
judge on the bench. The response was;

Is Matthew Hale, lord chief justice Of

balked.-Dr. Talmage in Ladies' Home

preyed upon my mind because knew

Jason Brigham. His face had been
stamped too clearly upon my recollec-

each one; and besides, there was the
scar, which could not be counterfeited,
