CHAPTER NN1v.

CljAEIEIt NAlN.
A. cry of surprise escaped Miss Bcaton's
lips when she saw who stood in that
wcll-lighted room.
"Lcnorc, / did not know that you were
here" she began.
She went to her as though she would
fain take her in her arms and kiss her
face. but Sir Cyril intcrposcd.

not have you touch even the hem of her
garments until Won have cleared yourself
of the accusations l bring forward
against you. Glade Beaton, it seems to
me that in you we ave nurscd a traitor;
that we have loved and cared for one who
has wounded us to the DEATH"
She glanced at him; then her eyes fell
on the scarf and brooch; Il cry that WIS
like the despair OF Il lost soul came from
her lips.
II thought you had gone and did not
intend to return. Lcnore.'' she said. but
her face and her voice changed as she
spoke; her sclf-command gave way.
She fell on her knees at the table and
buried her face in her hands.
lyon must look UP and Won must
listen" said Sir Cyril. .You must listen
and answer me. l want the truth as it
stands before heaven"
Some degree of self-posscssion return
ed to her; she rose from her knees and
stood erect before him.

to poison IGNORES mind against mo. I
sec your plot. You have. by all kinds of
insinuations, and lies. and intrislcs. tried
to make her believe that | committed
that most foul MURDERS it not so? Do
not dare to refuse to answer mc-is it NOT
so:'
YES" she replied.
The word seemed to be dragged from
her rather than spoken.
You thought that if Lenore believed
me guilty she would go away. and then
yon would succeed in that in which hith-
erto you have failed:"
"Ycs.' she said again.
You have failed most completely" he
continued. Between myself and nv be-
loved wife YOU have raised IL shade of
mystery. Il terrible doubt: but that is all.
We love each other as truly and really
now as VIC did years ago. You have done
no harm. you have most s%ignally failed.
See. my wife forgivcs me as | forgive
her. and all that Your malcvolcnce has
done is to make her for the future more
%lcnient in her judgment. Yom see for
yourself that you have done no worse.''
There was a passion of carnestness in
the way in which he clasped his wife in
his arms and kissed her over and over
again. kissed her face and her hands.
MY darling!.' he cried, .it seems to me
as though l had won YOU from the very
jaws of death. 1 will never reproach YOU
that you judged me guilty. hut l will say

Without another word, he went away,

A NOVEL DECISION,
Unique Brand of Justice Dispensed
by Pennsylvania Judge.

From the Pittsburg News.
Squire Henry Grelie of Beltzhoover is at
tracing some attention a magistrate.
He administers justice impartially in his
homely way, and while some of his decis-
ions may not be according to the books,
still they carry the force of originality.
Squire Grelle does not like lawyers. He be-
lieves that they stir up too much trouble
by dragging musty old books into his Of
flee, and insisting that he follow the pre-
cedents they dig from them He has the
full approval of his constituents. His JUS
tice is the sort that is equitable between
man and man, and not that misnamed stuff
that depends on the technicalities Of law
books for a standing.
One of Squire Grefle's early cases was
brought against a friend of his who was
accused of cruelty to animals. The man
had been bothered by a vicious dog and he
shot at it. Ths bullet cut a piece off its tail,
but did no other harm. The trial attracted
a large crowd. There was conflicting evil
dence as to the dog. Some of the witnesses s
said it was gentle animal. and others de-
clared that it ought to be killed.
Il will reserf, my!1 decision until next
weeg" said thu squire, after he had heard
the testimony.
He was not satisfied as to the dog and,
while he had the case under consideration,
he made some inquiries in the neighbor-
hood. He learned that the dog was a bad
one. But the manning OF it by deprivins
it of part of it's tail was undoubtedly a
cruel act, and he did not see how he could
get over that, even to favor his friend
When the day came for him to give his
decision, 1t was evident to the crowd that
had gathered in his Office that he had made
up his mind. He called the defendant up
'You admid shootin this dog?" he asked,
'Yes, do, squire. but that dog is
