The responsibility of taking human
life under any circumstances is ire
merdous. Justifable as it may be to
kill in self-defense, we cannot but ad-
nire the wonderful self-control of an
Armenian who preferred to die rather
than live with blood upon his hands.
1t was during the horrible nassacres
in Armenia. A native, says Rev. George
H. Hepworth, was employed in one of
the railroad stations. He was standing
on the platform when the mob ap-
preached. A Turk, who knew the man
to be a faithful servant, handed him
pistol, saying: at is an outrage. Take
this and defend yourself. 1t is good
for six of the rascals." The Armenian
took the weapon, hesitated for mo-
ment, then banded it back with groan.

A messenger boy waited to receive the
replies, find the applicants, and direct
them to call in person at the Office of
Robert Stanton, legal representative Of
this indefinite Malcolm.
1t seemed well arranged and promis-
ing, and as Stanton entered his Office
that morning, after an unsatisfactory
night at a hotel, smile of sad satisfac-
ton lifted his upper lip from the tips
of his excellent teeth.
He touched the bell, and his Office boy
not overnight, appeared at the inner
door connecting the private room with
the main Office. There was another
door, marked Private" leading from
the inner office directly into the hall.

other wife, out west. AT al events, be-
fore she'd been out there long she wrote
back that she'd made terrible discov-
cry and was coming home at once. She
never reached home. Young Raymond
was not with her when she started, but
his father followed her. She died, sud-
denly, on the way. No one found out
what it was that she discovered, but
Lombard satisfied himself that she was
murdered, and that it was the old Ray

nothing could be found of him till it was
told that he died, year or more ago, in

With . savage grunt Judge Russell
rose, stuffed his hands deep into his
pockets, and stood glazing at John Ohm
stead's nephew.
Slowly Stanton rose, too, and, speak
ing deliberately, replied:

you would find the real cause for this

look for it in the obnoxious persistency
of those who attempted to drive me into
marriage when the only rational
ground which they could urge or I
could see was the securing to myself Of
John Olmstead's millions. It was not
way that it pleased me to make a for
tune. And now, Judge Russell, if we
have each of us spoken plainly enough
to be understood, am anxious to re-

looking back to see if he was calling

''It may seem strange to you, Judge
Russell, but the incidents of that night
were painfully impressed upon my
mind. I remember that you looked at
your watch at about that time. Do you
recall it?'
Certainly. It was just as was hand

"Of course. I even remember, now,
wondering if something was not wrong
with my watch, and that the clock be-

the first stroke Sam jumped. He was
taking the pen, and between us it fell
on the paper. You'll find the blot it
made right over the name of the first
witness. Look, and you'll see that l

"You are correct about it, sir; and it
stands this way" Stanton said, speak

II thought that your memory could

"Oh, Stanton, make the most of it.
You've a chance yet" said the judge,
grasping his hand.
''1he time is Short said Stanton.

Russell; would rather not live to hear
