he left Darlington standing before

As he was opening the shop door
a lady customer ut the counter turned

Nicksey was back again by his friends
side, whose arm he tremblingly
clutched.
Looking into the mans face, which,
an instant before. had been rosy with
a drunken flush Darlington saw now
that it was white as sheet.
Darlington. too. turned pale, for his
belief was that Nicksey had been dc
tected in attempting a robbery from
the jewelers. shop; and. in that case,
Noel himself would be placed In a very
painful predicament.
He was Immediately. and very salts
facterily undeceived, for Nicksey, in Il
hoarse whisper. and pointing to the in
terror of the shop, said:
"She is there"
"Whom ?Not-not-" faltered Noel
greatly agitated.

tremblingly from Nicksey's lips.

Nicksey.
"Emmeline was rightw was the
thought which now flashed through
Noels brain. Providence does, in.
deed, protect US now, and will not
fail to guide us to the end we aim att"
Quickly did Noel draw Nicksey away
from before the jewelers. shop, and
looked around in search of a hackney.
coach. but there was no conveyance
of the kind near him.
But, if Gu foot, he would follow Mrs
ChestertonS carriage; on that Noel was
resolved.
These two men stood and watched,
and waited, for what appeared to them
an age, but which was in reality about
ten minutes: and ut last the lady came
from the shop, and entered her car
riage.
One Of the jewelers. assistants, who
had followed her, saw her seated, then
handed to her casket, bowed, and re-
turned to the shop.
The footman, having received his
orders from his mistress, who was
heard by the two listeners to say, very
distinctly, "Home." mounted to the
box, and took his seat beside the
coaclman.
And as the carriage WAS driven away,
Noel Darlington ran after it for a
few yards, and then, unnoticed. leaped
quickly up and sat himself down on
the foOtboard behind it.
And Nicksey, left standing in a state
of bewildernent upon the pavement,
presently recovered so far as to chuckle
and to say to himself:
'That's friend to swear by--it's
all right"
And the purple flush which the punch
had produced, returned now to his
face as quickly and as suddenly as
awhile before it had left it.

THE GOODNESS OF TEXAS.

Now has Gov. Culberson a chance to
show whether he is a Spartan In virtue or
only a cheap imitation of heroic dignity
Within the precincts of the haIlowed
state of Texas. where goodness Is so SEN
sitiye that IL something is not against the
law they pass a law to make 1T so. a
human being has been treated with a bar
barity as 10 which a prizehght between
two professional pugilists would have been
as Sunday school picnic to carnival of
devils.
IL is true that the crime of the negro
was enough to stir to its depths the indig-
nation OF the people. but courts are in
stltuted to deal with crime. and the law
metes out punishment for such offenses.
The crime should be punished with the
utmost severity. We have no sympathy
to waste on the man: it is the lawlessness
which must inevitably ensue. the shocking
effect such scenes and incidents must have
upon the mob. which call for the stern in
terposition Of the law.
The Law itself makes allowance for a
hasty. even a fatal blow struck under
great provocation. and when death by
hanging informally avenges d cruel crime,
there is at least the semblance of justice
that for murder capital punishment is rec
ognized by statutes. But there Is no
shadow of excuse for burning a man alive,
for mutilatng his body or MASKING his
fingers. Such acts are simply diabolical,
the suggestion Of minds as low and brutal
Of nd
condemned by civilization.
What effect must such acts OF ungov-
erned ferocity have upon the ignorant and
the youngi They are familiarized with
scenes OF brutality. and taught that the
law need not be respected. They are taught
to believe that they are TO be governed
only by their own judgment, and that
judgment is not always likely to be right,
but is very likely indeed, TO conform to
the prejudices and interests of the citizen
trained i'm such a school.
Texas was put TO the expense of $4,000
TO prevent prizefight into which both the
principals were willing TO enter for a re-
ward. II was the duty OF the governor TO
prevent it If IL were against the law; but
there was something very silly about the
converting OF legislature at such euor-
nous cost 20 pass law against Il. One
more fight would not have hurt the world
and the error could have been repaired at
the next opportunity.
Here. however. in the case OF the burning
OF man at the stake. with thousands OF
witnesses. is a clear violation of law, with
infinitely more brutality than a prlzeaght
would show, and Gov. CuIberson has the
opportunity OF his life.
