The penny, duplicated, was given the boy
cheerfully, and the women sat down to wonder
and speculate whatever could be the meaning
OF what was happening. However, the simple
message cheered them and they drank a cup of
tea and prepared themselves for q visit TO the
magistrates court room. When they went
looking very serious and Deacon Redman was
seated at one side with IL very sad expression on
his face, and Phil Henshaw TODD near the bench
with an old ulster sluOg over his arm and trium-
plant leer in his alcoholic eyes. Presently Con-
stable Joe Sissons appeared, bearing himself
with uncommon dignity, and leading by the
arm John Todd, hanicuied. Then the eager
crowd was admitted and soon the room was
tlenseiy packed
John Todd's eyes went round the throng, and
as they lighted on Alice he nodded and smiled
as unconoernedly as though he was in church.
All eyes were liked upon him in astonishlnent,
ana there were many whispered comments on
his harlihood and shame essness. The poor
old deacon seemed dazed. He got up and sat
down. and got up and sat down, as
though he was demeuted. At length
he arose and made his way to the side of his
nephew and said in a tremulous tone: "John,
thou art my only sisters son. The Lord for
give thee, boy" and the good man wept.
