The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-05-24

into the size of Bank of England notes,
 George gasped. Robbed" whispers cd he. Robinson began to sob. We worked hard for 1t, good folk" said he, and risked our lives" The two men sat down on a bench hand in hand and turned their heads away.
 Susan came timidly out of the house and sat on Georges other side. "DoI not grieve." said she. "Oh, I hava. been robbed of what was better than. life since you went away and now you grieve at mere loss of money"
 Touch him on his pride." whis- pered Meadows fercely to Merton. Get rid of him and your debts shall bw paid. If not"
 At this moment a man stepped up to him and said: We want you" He whistled and more men came in quietly. Behind them appeared a mag-a istrate and Isaac Levi.
 T accuse that man of robbing thessa two" said the Jew. 'I heard him tell Crawley about 1t. Bring him here.H If the notes arc not in his pocket. iek1 me suffer scorn."
 Meadows turned pale. Tom Rob- inson quickly described the notes and gave their numbers. Crawiey waa brought In Quaking with fear. Tha| magistrate ordered a search and in ana other moment the notes were takeu out of his breast pocket. Isaac Levf|
  permit of his getting rid of thaux| since the moment that he had eauae0| his arrest. Meadows uttered yell like tiger and pulled out a pistol. He pressed it| to his temple, but 1t failed to ex~| plode. Instantly a dozen men were oEz| him and after a fierce fight he was tfed| and dragged away with Crawley' Susan ran to Isaac Levi and kissed him. He passed his hand over her hafr, and said. "Go to. you foolish chfid,~ but his deep voice trembled and ten- derness gIistened in his fiery eye. John Meadows in jail fell into q deep depression; but after time he shook 1t off and wrote to the Jew, of fering him a long lease of the ol04 house if he would absent himself from the trial.
 As for George and Robinson, the Iat~ ter had gone back to Australia as soon as he had seen his friend married to Susan, and George needed no bribe tq| make him forgive.
 So it was that the two criminals were freed for want of witnessed when their trial came on. George wa@3 fined fl00 for not appearing. A mess senger arrived at his farm with th@; money from Meadows the day aftsr his liberation.
 The same messenger brought Levi a note. Take the house." said Mead ows in it. land pay me what you will for 1t. And, old man, take your curse of me, for I have not known q heart at rest since you laid 1t on."
 Three just men shall value the house." wrote Isaac Levi in answer. Put now diversity to profit Repent and prosper. Isaac Levi wishes you no III will from this day, but rather good"
 Soon afterward a vessel glided down the Thames, bound for Australia. on it's deck stood John Meadows, with an | old woman who held tightly to his | arm. It was his mother, who had de- ! nounced his greed for money making 1 long ago and hated and denounced his sins. but now, at three score and ten.' l left her native land to comfort her son and lead him to repentance.
 He shall repent" said she to her self, as she looked her last on Eng land. Tt is never too late to mend. And SO at almost the same time. thought Tom Robinson, once a thiefs as he looked again on Australia and remembered his first arrival there. And so thought many good men in England one day when, in a great new prison. with the Rev. Francis Eden as chap lain, there was instituted a new sys~l tenn where men were taught, instead of being crucified and redeemed fn- stead of being scourged.
