ter seems to him "rot"- that is to say, with
out value or significance. He had this idea
already when he was at school in England
and the exercise Of his profession has proved
to him that after one has assimiated the gen.
eral rules Of law he has nothing to gain from
reading the newspapers. AS for what one
needs to know a five minutes conversation
at the club with competent man is more
profitable than any tedious reading. So the

So John Hertford's life had run along, even
and reasonably happy. But know very
we'll that in recent years the detestable doc
trines of the European revolutionaries have
been introduced into India. There have been
famines, of which the people have horrible
memory, forgetting that, without the Eng

native sovereigns would have made these fam
ines even more terrible. There have been
also the Japanese victories, then the war
the Great War-and books, Moreover, there
is the idea, which is British and also French,
of the right Of nations to self government
through parliament. English Liberals have
had the imprudence to spread instruction in
these matters among the younger Hindoos.
10 make long story short, some Of these
young Hindoos delivered subversve speeches
and wrote in their own language books, pam.
phets and newspaper articles, in which they
demanded in vague but ardent terms a thing
called liberty. When they were brought be-

them severely, always in the interest of the
empire. He did this all the more sincerely

opinion of this sort Of literature. 1t was
grandlloquent and confused, cited few facts

comprehension beyond that they were in bad
taste and had an unpleasant nativist faint.
He didn't know that at the beginning of a
popular movement phrases which are worn,
commonplace or vulgar may conceal genuine
feeling.
1t wasn't so with friend Of his, Mrs Ethel
Hobson, who gave him a word of warning
What is called feminine intuition comes from
the fact that women have perceptions less
blunted by education than men have. And

John HEREFORD made no answer and thought
no more of the matter. 1t was as if some one
had said that in playing polo you might break
a leg. That oughtn't to prevent you from,
playing polo.
He continued, then, to discharge his duties
as he had done in the past He had journal
lists whipped. He sentenced agitators to be
hanged. For he thought such was his duty
to the empire. But one day Higginson, of the
Police Survey, appeared.

of a big corporation in a neighborng city.
Later he came to New York And he wanted
to make some return for courtesies received.
So he invited the corporation executive and
his family to spend several days with him in
New York
On Sunday morning he took his guests on
sightseeing motor trip. AS they passed Fifty
ninth Street he pointed to the Plaza Hotel.
The eldest boy in the party Immediately
pricked up his ears and was all animation.

down. "Theres the Plaza. That's where
you get all our towels, isn't it,"

fined to When the Commodore was

one young matron uptown who kept her linen

go in and get handful of the Commodore

distance of Forty second Street.
All hotel managers accustomed to enter

THE BOMB AND THE JUDGE

The Honorable John Hartford is judge at
Naznabad, in Northern India. 1t is useless
to hunt for Nazinabad on the map. 1t is
name which have invented. But the rest
of the story is true.
John Hartford has a salary of twenty-five
hundred pounds Nevertheless, he runs in
debt little each year, because he is a
gentleman. He knows also that he will end
by being made some day judge in Bengal!
at double his present salary, provided he
doesn't die in the mean time of cholera. In
either case his accounts will be squared. The
tradesmen, whom he makes wait, and the
native usurer who lends him money have en-
visaged these two hypothesis clearly as he
has They have inflated their charges pro-
portionately. So John Hartford sleeps each
night, after his last peg of whisky, with his
soul at peace.
Three times week he goes to his court
and judges there, with equal consciousness
and celebrity, all the cases there are to be
judged, and as they ought to be judged.
mean to say that if a case concerns the en-
pire he makes the decision the most advanta-
geous to the empire. If it is one between an
English functionary and native he imposes
the severest penalty on the latter, if he is in
respect the white mans superiority If the
white man is in the wrong the judge advises
him to settle the matter discreetly out of
court, like gentleman. If not, he will suffer
at his club. at the hands of his fellow white
men, punishment more painful even than
death. But when the litigation concerns two
Hindoos the Honorable John sends it as quick
~ as possible to a Hindoo Judge, who gener-
ally decides in favor Of the richer and against
the poorer. Long experience has shown that
this is best for the security of the empire,
the rich having more friends and justice con-
sisting, if one wishes still to consider the in
terests of empire, in making the fewest
possible macontents.
In the warm hours of the day, when he
cannot sleep, John Hartford sometimes reads
the weekly edition of the Times or The Pho
neer, which is published in Calcutta, and the
