Judicial System
Is Established
By Sim Feiners

Dublin--The Sim Feiners have es-
tablished a judicial system for ire
land composed of parish courts. dis
trict courts and a court of final ap-
peal.
All judges have TO axe the oath Of
allegiance to Dali Eireann, and all
lltigants must agree not to submit
to any enemy tribunal any matters on
which the republican courts may pro
nounce decision. The judges OF the
parish courts receive one pound a
day for expenses and the district
judges two pounds. The costs of the
courts are provided out of deposits
collected from the litigants.
The Council of the Irish Bar has
decided that it is professional mis-
conduct for a member of the bar to
appear before any OF these courts;
but there are many Irish barristers
willing to appear for suitable fee
before the republican courts.
The government treats all these
courts in civil matters as really ar
bitrations with which they are not

watch in a box under a few leaves of

note in a bunch of violets which was
given her with ceremony.
She read it and had difficulty to re-
main wholly composed. She arose and
went to her husband, taking one Of
his hands and putting an arm about
his shoulders. Then she kissed him
and stood a moment before the fire
before she trusted herself to come
back to the table.
When the dinner was done and the
covers were removed, more wine was
brought in. A large Christmas tree
was lighted, and all the servants were
called. Each found a valuable present
In the tree; each had punch from the
great bowl, and each, coming to shake
Mr.. Sidney's hand, was given by Jed
an envelope which, l learned after
ward, contained a hundred-dollar bill.
There was no constraint and no
awkwardness such as might mark
such proceedings; the people Of the
house knew Mr.. Sidney too well. One
of the maids kissed him, and then we
had them all doing 1t.
/ was fearful that the excitement
would lnjure him, but he was placid,
smiling and happy. When we were
alone, we sat an hour by the fire, and
then | dismissed every one peremptor-
lily.
Jed, who had been about his duties,
returned. The fire was tended. An
other bottle of wine was ordered. l
had my last look at Mr.. Sidney alive
as I stood by the door giving Jed
his final instructions for the night.
Jed sat In the armchair. All the
lights except one by Jed's chair had
been extingulshed. The Persian cat
was stretched by Mr.. Sidney's side.
The canaries were asleep perched On
the head Of his bed. The fire was
glowing.

ney. "Just a minute, boy. Come here"
He reached out his hand.

XIV.

Mr.. Sidney died between three and
four o'clock Christmas morning. He
passed so easily that Jed, sleeping
In the ~lounge-chair beside him, did
not know that death had gone through
the chamber until an hour after the
event. Jed awakened me. In the case
of such an expected happening as this,
the perceptions start slowly. The
fact that the b~enignity which so i'm
~perceptibly had dominated the house
had ceased to exist took hours to as
sert itself.
Jed was composed when he aroused
me. Later, when the sun came up to
make radiant all the white witchery
the storm left, his sense of loss began
to assert itself, and acute as was the
grief In the house. none was deeper
seated or more profound than that of
the rascally old servant.
Mrs. Sidney accepted the event with
a serenity which I discovered after
ward was born Of a l~ong-ixed resolu-
ton. For years her life had been a
denial of her moral instincts-happy,
in spite of that, because of her great
devotion to the wonderful man she
loved. The chapters which he domi-
mated in her book were ended. With
tenderness she laid them aside.
Isobel did not permit herself In
diligence in any weakness. What had
happened vas written In the contract
OF life. In later full knowledge of
Isobel, l never ceased to admire the
wonderful acceptivity with which she
met her trials. Nothing came to her
with catastrophe shock. She had
reality within her vision. and she per-
celved.

Autograph Hunters Coup.

Autograph hunting sometimes
proves a most profitable pursuit. Lud-
ovic Picard, a French Bohemian Of
the sos, made a steady income out u
1t for several years.
One of his most successful coups
wat accomplished with a letter In
which he posed as "a member Of the
unhappy race Of the unappreciated
who is meditating suicide and seeks
for counsel and aid In this hour Of
sore distress"
This drew a number Of celebrities,
including Beranger and Heine. Laeor-
daire sent him ten closely written
pages, which we're promptly converted
into cash.
Dickens also fell a victim Of his
wiles and took the trouble to answer
him In French. Eventually Picard was
shown up in the press by jules San
deau and had to seek another occupa-
ton.
