The Solomon of Maine.

DR.. James r. Day, the brilliant chan
cellor of Syracuse university, was dis
GUESSING his recent assertion that some
ministers preach in sensational man
ner, usurping the place-an undesir-
able place at best-of the sensational
press.
These men," he said, interpret the
scriptures to their own advantage.
They are precisely like magistrate
they used to laugh about in Whitney
Vile. One Of his decisions gained him
the title of the Maine Solomon
1.-TWO women came before this mag
istrate with fine pullet, each declar-
ing that 1t belonged to herself. The
magistrate from his high seat, frowned
heavily at the first woman. -.
"'Does this pullet belong to Mrs.
Jones" he asked her.
ono, indeed. it don't sir she re-
piled.
"Then he turned to the other wo-
man.
"'Does this pullet belong to Mrs.
Smith,

ond woman replied.
1.-The pullet.' the magistrate then de-
creed, does not belong to Mrs. Jones
nor does 1t belong to Mrs. Smith. The
pullet is mine. Janitor take it around

Mary sat with shining eyes in the

Mary sat with shining eyes IN the
front row of wooden chairs. 1t was
no wonder she had laughed and been
30 gay all the dreary yesterday and
all the worse to-day. Louise shot her
a look of pure gladness.
Small's face was ludicrous in its
drop-jawed establishment. The little
lawyers face was a study. A look of
defiance had crept into the defend
ants countenance.
The preliminary questions were
asked and answered.
"Mr. Williston, you may state where
you were and what you saw on the
18th day of July last"
Williston, the unfortunate gentle
man and scholar the vanquished COW
man, for brief while the most i'm
portant man in the county. perhaps,
was about to uncover to mems under
standing the dark secret hitherto OBJ
scured by cloud of supposition and
hearsay. He told the story of his
visit to the island, and he told it we'll.
1t was enough. Gordon asked no furth-
err questions regarding that event.
"And now, Mr.. Williston. you may
tell what happened to you on the
night of the Both of last Augusta"
Williston began to tell the story Of
the night attack upon the Lazy S,
when the galvanic Small jumped to
his feet. The little lawyer touched
him with light hand.
Your honor" he said, smoothly, Il
object to that as incompetent, irrele-
want and inimaterial, and not binding
on the defendant"
your honor" interrupted Gordon,
with great calmress, I'VE intend to
this testimony is competent, and that
it is binding upon the defendant"
WAS the defendant there?"
THE defendant was there"
The objection was overruled.
So Williston told briefly but to the
point the story of the night attack
upon his his home, of the defence by
himself and daughter. and of the
burning of his house and sheds. Then
he proceeded:
Suddenly, some one caught me
from behind, my arms were pinioned
to my sides, something was clapped
over my mouth. l was flung over a
horse and strapped to the saddle all
in less time that 1t takes to tell it,
and was borne away in company with
the man who had overpowered me-"
He paused moment in his recital.
Faces strained with expectancy de-
voured him-bis every look and word
and action. Mary was very pale, car.
ried thus back to the dread realities
Of that night in August, and shud-
dered, remembering that CHASTITY gal

strain himself. He wanted to rip out
bloodcurdling Sioux war-whoop on
the spot.
WHO was this man. Mr.. Williston?"
asked Gordon.
Jesse Black"
Small was on his feet again, gesticu-
lating wildly.
Il object! This is all fabrication,
put in here to prejudice the minds of
the jury against this defendant 1t is
pack Of lies, and 1 move that 1t be
stricken from the record"
The little lawyer bowed his head to
the storm and shrugged up his Shout
ders. Perhaps he wished that he, or
his associates-one of the unholy al
lance at least-was where the wicked
cease from troubling, on the far-away
Islands Of the deep seas, possibly, or
home on the farm. But his expression
told nothing.
Gentlemen! gentlemen" expostu-
lated Judge Dale. Gentlemen! ! in
sist. This is all out of order" Only
one gentleman was out of order, but
that was the judges way. Gordon had
remained provokingly cool under the
TRADE.
Again the soft touch. Small fell
into his chair. He poured himself a
glass of water from the pitcher stand
ing on the attorneys table and drank
a little OF 1t nervously.
II move" said the little lawyer,
that all this touching upon the per-
sonal matter Of this witness and hay-
ing to do with his private quarrels be
stricken out of the evidence as not
bearing on the case in question"
All In vain. The judge ruled that 1t
did bear on the case, and Williston
picked up the thread Of his story.
I'VE rode and rode hard-it must
have been hours; daylight was coming
