CHAPTER TX.
EmpFfse.

The next morning early William Arm
strong, on Bruce, his black horse, set out
for the border with the good wishes of his
host. His naturally gay demeanor was
subdued and he muttered to himself with
wrinkled brow as he rode along. This
unwonted abstraction was not on account
of the danger which he knew lay ahead of
him, but because he was committing to
memory the message to the king.
Arriving at a forking of the road, both
branches tending south, he paused and
pondered. Which should he take? He
knew them equally well. The main road
led to Carlisle, and in time of peace would
have been PREFERABLE; the other, less direct,
would probably carry him further in these
uncertain times. That he could avoid con-
tact with the Parliamentary forces was i'm
possible, whichever road he took, and the
question which now demanded solution was
not SO much his direction as whether IL
were we'll to bring on his inevitable en-
counter with the Cromwellites sooner or
later.
But to an observer he bore the attitude
OF a stranger who had lost his way. This
was evidently the conclusion arrived at
by an object hidden in the hedge, which
had proved his nights lodging. The object
sprang out across the ditch, with a sud
iiiiS AHdN AlduC llC start ana
snort in alarm. to be soothed by the gentle
pat OF its riders hand, for the imperturba-
BILE Armstrong seemed surprised at nothing
which took place. The object had the wild,
unkempt appearance of one who habitualIy
slept out of doors. His long and matted
hair, emaciated face and clothing, or cover
ing rather, made UP of odds and ends of
various costumes, formed a combination by
no means attractive. He held in his hand,
grasped by the middle. a long stick, some
what taller than himself. (which road are
you going to take, my gay gentleman he
cried.
II was just switherin'."
"Ah, you're from Scotland. They tell
me they grow a fine crop of fools there.
The road on the right leads to Carlisle,
and the FOOLS name in that direction is
the king. The safest way is the one you
came, and the FOOLS name there is like
to be Cromwell, so they tell me. Am l to
get the FOOLS price for advice?"
The horseman threw him a coin, which
the object clutched in mid air with great
experiences and examined eagerly.
Thank you, gay gentleman. The advice
is to turn your fine horse end for end and
get back among the fools OF your kidney.
We are always safer among our own kind"
Are there eany cattle for sale here
about? I see none in the fields"
"Everythings for sale in England, crown,
cattle. opinions, swords; o, it's a great
market for cutlery. But the price is I'M
certain and various"
well. it's cattle, not cutlery, I want to
buy"
IT sometimes sen cattle myself said the
object with a cunning look.

JUSTICE OR VENGEANCE, WHICH,

TOR ages men have erected ecaf-
Il folds, instruments OF torture,
built jails prisons and penal institu.
tions without end, and through all
ages long line Of suffering.humanity,
bound and fettered, has been march.
ing to slaughter ard condemned to
living tombs, and yet human govern
'ments charged with responsibility Of
the condition apd lives Of these weak
brothers, have never yet been able to
agree even upon the purpose for
which these pens are built. All pun.
ishment and violence is largely
mixed with the feeling Of revenge
from the brutal father who strikes
his helpless child, to the hangman who
obeys the orders Of the Judge; with
overy man who lays violent unkind
hands upon his fellow the prime feel
ing is that Of hatred and revenge.
Some human being has shed his
neighbours blood; the state must take
his life. In no other way can the
crime be wiped away. In some In.
conceivable manner IL 10 believed that
when this punishment follows justice
has been done. But BY no method
of reasoning can il 30 shown that the
Injustice Of killing one man is re.
trie, ed by the execution Of another, or
that the i0rcible taking OF property i.
made right by combining some human
being in a pen. II the law knew
some method to reetore life or make
good loss to the real victim, IL
might be urged that justice had been
done. But If taking life, or blasphem.
ing, or destroying the property OF an.
other, be an injustice, as in our short
vision it seems to be, thon Furnishing
him who is supposed to he guilty OF
the act, in no way makes just the act
already done. To punish a human
being simply because he has COM
mitted wrongful act, without any
thought Of good to follow, is ven.
geance pure simple, and more de.
tsstable and harmful than any casual
isolated crime Apologies who have
seen tho horror in the thought CT
vengeance and still believe in violence
and force when exercised by the
state, contend that punishment is
largely for the purpose OF reforming
the victim. This, OF course, cannot
be held in those instances where
death is the punishment inflicted.
These victims at least have no chance
to be refo. med. Neither can it be
seriously contended that a penal in.
stituticn is a reformatory, whatever
its name. A prisoner is an outlaw,
i'm outcast man, placed beyond the
pale OF society and branded as unfit
Tor the association OF his fellow man !;
his sentence is to live in silence, to
toll without recompense, to wear the
badge OF infamy, and if ever per-
mitted to see light to be pointed at
and Stunned by all who know his life.
