The Parting of the Ways.

The Parting of the Ways.
THE two weeks which followed
the Bivens ball were the
happiest Harriet Woodman
had known since Mans
shadow had fallen across her life.
Every moment was crowded with the
work of preparing for her trip, except
the hours she could not refuse Stuart,
who had suddenly walked to the fact
that something beautiful was going
out Of his life.
Harriet watched him with keen Joy
and deep in her heart secret hope
began to grow slowly.
The day she sailed he refused to go
with her to the pier.
why. Jim. you must come with
mep she protested.
mo, can't, little pal Goodby."
He watched the cab roll down Fourth
street toward the pier while a great
wave OF loneliness overwhelmed him.
At night the doctor was not at home,
Stuart raped on his door next morn
ing and got no answer. The girl said
he had spent the night out--she didn't
know where.
As Stuart was about to leave for his
office the doctor entered. His bloodshOt
eyes were sunken deep behind his
brows, his face haggard and his
shoulders dropped. Stuart knew he
had tramped the streets all night in
stupor of hopeless misery.
Stuart took his outstretched hand
and led him into the library. Il
know why you tramped the streets; the
old house is very lonely"
II never knew what loneliness meant
before" The big hand fell in a
gesture of despair.
Stuart pressed his hand.
81 understand I'm younger than you,
doctor. but l, too. have walked that
way alone. You're all in: you must go
to bed and Sleep"
When Stuart returned early from his
work in the afternoon he found

A Plea For Justice.

- TUART was not surprised to re-
- ceive notice from Bivens' law
yers that they would demand
sentence on Woodman within
two days. The financier was present
with two great lawyers who smiling
~ assured him that he need have no
fear as to the result. Yet the little
man was uneasy. He fidgeted in his
seat and watched Stuart's calm, serious
face with dread.
Don't worry the senior counsel as
sureG him with confidence. 1.-THE old
judge is a terror to every criminal in
New York"
In spite of all assurance. Bivens'
nervousness increased as the hour
drew near for the case to be called. He
looked at his watch. Tuning over the
fact that Nan was late He wished her
to see Stuart and find out what he had
up his sleeve A woman could do such
tricks better than a man. He looked
out the window anxiously and saw the
fash of his big French limousine
rounding the corner He hurried to
the steps to meet his wife
Man. for heavens sake see Jim be-
fore this case is called and find out
what he's going to say to that Judge"
'I'l do my best I'll send my card
In and ask him to see me at once"
Good. When he returns TO the court
room wait and I'll come out"
Bivens went back to his seat beside
hrs lawyers and watched the court Of
ficer speak TO Stuart
He frowned and hesitated, rose and
slowly followed the man.
Nan seized his hand.
"Oh, Jim, I'm so worried. Cal says
you are going to make desperate fight
against him this morning"
I'm going to make the usual plea
for mercy for an old broken NANNY
friend I'm going to fight for his life
as l would for my own
''P&ase don't do or say anything to-
day to cause a break. | couldn't en-
dure it. You don't know how much
your friendship means to me. Your
visits are the brightest spots in my
life What are you going to say? Are
you going to attack Cal? You don't
have to do that. Jim. Promise me you
won't for my sake"
I'm going to do my level best for
my old friend, Man," he answered with
logged determination. you needn't
worry about your husband. He has
the hide of a rhinoceros. and nothing
can say will get under his skin"

stated, he made frequent threats to
kill any one who married his daugh-
ter. No sooner did he hear of the
fact of his daughter being married
than he went to Rose Hill and on
Sunday, May 18th, he executed his
oft repeated threat. John II. Camp
bell was lying asleep on the piazza.
where he was shot by Garrett, Aaron
Campbell was shot as he came out
on the piazza in the defense of his

where he remained all night. His
daughter escaped from him soon af-
ter she heard the dogs in pursuit and
was taken in charge by officers
Garrett was arrested early next
morning and kept in Jail until the
trial, when after his conviction he
was sent to Columbia to the peniten-
tiary where he remained up to the
time Of execution.
