guilty OF murder and ought to be exc
cuted or she was not guilty mot being
respOnsible) and ought to be set ut
liberty.
Then the law under which she has
been condemned is crime he thought.
This terrified him. All his inherited
instinct Of reverence for the justice and
majesty of the law revolted.
''The law n crime Good heavens,
what am ] thinking about?'
And yet, why not? Why had there
been so much misery In the world? Was
It because of the crimes committed
against the law? No. but chiefly be-
cause Of the crimes committed by the
law. Yes. that was the real key TO the
long martyrdom of man throughout the
ages.
"If q law is a crime Il ought to be
broken" he told himself.
But how! There was only one proper
way in free country--through Parlia- =
ment and by the slow uprising of the
human conscience. But that was long
process. and meantime what would hap
pen in this case? Bessie would be dead
and buried That must not be! No,
the law that had condemned Bessie
Collister must be broken at once--now
But who is to break III"
He trembled at that question. but
| found only one answer. It shivered at
| the back Of his mind like the white water
over reef at the neck Of narrow sea q.
and It was not at first that he dared to
think of It. But st length he saw that
of the law in booming Bessie to death
it was he who must set her free.
When he reached this point on his
dark way he waS Mortified
what? A judge break the law"
He thought of his oath as Deemster
and of the execration that would fall
Oh him If found out. He remembered
his fathers motto: "Justice is the most
sacred thing on earth" No, no, il
was impossible. His honor as judge
forbade it.
But as the train ran on. the call Of
nature compelled and he asked himself
what. after oil. was his honor as a
Judge compared with that poor girls
life?
Nothing. Nothing"
Bessie Collister must not die! She
must not remain in prison! She must
escape! He must help her to do so.
Secretly, though, nobody knowing, not
even the girl herself or Fenella.
At the station for the glen Stowell
got out himself, and there he saw a
different spectacle--an elderly woman
In n satin mantle. surrounded by a
group Of other elderly women in faded
sum -bonnets.
It was Mrs. Collister again. In one
hand she held her blackthorn stick.
and in the other she carried small
bundle in a print ndkerchief--proba-
bly, containing her underclothing.
Stowell understood. The news about
Bessie had reached her home, and the
heart.broken (almost brain -broken) old
mother was waiting for the south going
train to Castletown.
A hush fell on the women when
Stowell stepped out Of the railway car.
riage. but as he made his way to his
dog cart at the gate, he heard one Of
them say,
% It's wicket shame! But you'll be
with the poor bogh at the end and that
will comfort her"
A kind Of savage pride had taken
possession OF Stowell.
Not yet! Not yeti" he thought.
The law was wrong. therefore it was
right to resist the law. 1t was more
than right-it was kind of sacred
duty.
