CLAKKSOn’s ~~ PRKIL

By WALTER BRUCE

~S

(cor tinued)

Very calm, but deadly pale, appeared the accused as succeeding witnesses ad- duced fresh incriminating evidence. The counsel allotted Clarkson strove man- fully, but his cross examinations did not shake the testimony en primary points. The case went against the accused from the beginning. The evidence was clear and strong. The notes and the watch of the murdered man had been found in possession of the prisoner, whose revolv- er had been picked up afew yards from where the body had been discovered. Several witnesses testified to his having rushed into “Beauty's Bar” late on the eveniug of the murder looking wild, haggard and excited, like a man who had committed or proposed committin,

' some crime.

The landlady swore to his having re- turned to the house at 3:30 in the morn-

| ing looking very white and strange, asif

he had recently gone through some very exciting scene. More than one person knew that Clarkson had owed the rich unscrupulous merchant a grudge. Closer

| and closer the chain was tightening about

his neck, and as proof upon proof of his guilt was adduced a peculiar and omi- nous silence settled upon the crowd of listeners and spectators.

»

‘TOM, YOU WILL YET BE SAVED.” after a time Tom had ceased to listen to the evidence—ceased even to feel that the gaze of so many eager and curious

eyes were upon him. His thoughts had wandered sadly to his old home, his moth- er, his sister and the old days long ago— long ago, when his heart was young and the love of gold had not tempted him te leave the abode of his youth. Then he thought of Minnie. Was she here listen- ing while they swore away his life? This thought brought him with a bitter pang back to the agonizing present, and again he heard the questions and answers, each one of which now seemed to close the doors of hope more firmly upon him, Avain he felt that hundreds of eyes were gazing at him. Was she there too? Yes, he could feel that she was near, although he conld not see her. This circumstance was perfectly explicable.

The proceedings were necessarily part- ly in the official language of the conn- try, but many of the jury were well con- versant with English, and every oppor- tunity was permitted the accused to rebut the damaging evidence. He was asked if he had anything to say, and Clarkson repeated his story simply and truthfully as before. He had nothing to conceal, though the truth could help him little. He knew well the evidence against him, circumstantial though it might be, was too strong. Judge, jury and listeners all appeared quite convinced of his guilt,

Very calmly and with an unconscious pathos he told the story of his futile ef. forts to obtain employment, his hopeless misery, his reckless resolve to spend his last shilling and purchase that which should render him oblivious of his suf- fering for a time. He told how he had gone into the bar and how the music had created calmer and better thoughts and saved him; how he had gone forth into the street again, and worn out by hunger and fatigue had lain down and slept until morning. The notes and the watch must, he said, have been put into his pockets while he lay on the stoop. He was innocent, he asserted, and in the presence of God he could only repeat it.

The court and the crowd were skep- tical, and few of the latter appeared to sympathize with the accused in the slightest.

The jury retired, and a painful silence fell upon the Court. In a few minutes tue Jurymen returned, and their verdict could in a sense be felt before it wus given. Very slowly and deliberately it came, ‘‘We find the prisoner guilty.”

Noone seemed surprised, and certainly not the pale young prisoner himself. Not surprised; but, oh, how bitterly fell upon his ears and heart the words that con- signed him to a doom of sudden and shameful death!

In a low, calm tone the judge pro- nounced the awful sentence, and the prisoner was about to be led away when it was seen that some one was struggling through the crowd toward him. It proved to be a young girl, with wild looking eves and a face the picture of de- spair. It was Minnie Colbeck, and ina moment she was beside her lover. The policemen offered no obstacle. Indeed they appeared to fall back involuntarily. She looked so pale, so fair and so un- earthly that she might have been a spirit from the other world confronting them. Clarkson gazed upon her, but his white lips remained unmoved, and he uttered not a word.

“Tom,” said the girl in a voice so low that he only heard it, “‘you will yet be saved. They cannot take your life. You shall not die for another's sin, Heaven will not permit such cruel injustice.” Minnie spoke as all inexperienced people speak on such matters,women especially. Clarkson did not speak. He knew that with the first word he uttered all his self command would desert him. He took her little cold hands in his and held them for a moment as we hold hands that we never expect to clasp again in this world. And with one look into her sorrowing eyes—a look that seemed to bid her an earthly farewell—he was led away.

Among the passengers who left Johan- nesburg by the early coach for Pretoria on the day following that on which Thomas Clarkson’s death sentence had

been pronounced was a girl who, thickly

veiled, sat in a corner of the coach with bent head, clasped hands and melan- choly mien. It was Minnie Colbeck. She had made a desperate, firm, though wild resolve to go to the capital, see President Kruger and plead for the life of Thomas Clarkson, Only a woman would have carried out such a resolu- tion.

The coach traveled at the utmost speed of eight spirited horses, but to her heat- ed and impatient fancy it seemed to crawl along the smooth, dusty road. It was still early in the day when it dashe:! into the streets of Pretoria.

Half an hour later Minnie stood at the gates of the presidency, an unpreten- tious, ordinary looking residence in a quiet part of the principal street. Her heart beat, her hands trembled, and her whole bodily framework shook so vio-

' lently that she could gearcely trust her ' voice to ask for an interview with his

honor. That morning the executive was sitting at the presidency, as it occasien- ally does, and Minnie had to wait a long time before the president could give her an audience. Every minute seemed an hour to the anxious girl. She had been conducted toa small room, which seemed so oppressively silent that she could al- most hear the beating of her own heart,

Presently there was a firm, heavy step heard, and the president, pipe in hand, homely and kindly in appearance, en- tered the apartment. Minnie does not know to this day how she told her tale, what words she spoke or what argument she employed. She remembers that when she had finished speaking she looked earnestly and intently at the countenance of the president. His face was stern and sad, but there was a kindly look in his eyes and some sympathy in his voice as he said (His honor can speak good Eng- lish when he likes):

“Jt cannot be, my child. The jury have found the young man guilty, and the judge has sentenced him to death. It is not for meor my executive to interfere with their decision.”

“Oh, your honor, but he is not guilty!” went on the girl with feminine logic. ‘‘I know he is not guilty, He does not de- serve to die. Do not permit such an act of injustice to be perpetrated in the land. He is innocent.”

“The jury have found him guilty,” re- plied the president kindly, but firmly. “I pity you, my poor child, but I cannot do what you wish.”

“The jury are but men. They are not infallible,” answered Minnie passionate- ly. ‘Oh, your honor, for the sake of justice, for the sake of all that you hold dear on this earth, for your hope ef heaven, be merciful, that you may de- mand mercy for yourself at the throne of grace! Pardon him, pardon him!” She flung kerself at his feet and raised her white face with such an agony of suppli- cation that the president was moved. Sentiment seldom moves this fair minded ruler, and only at his religious exercise: has he for a long time been known to ex- hibit emotion.

“I would do what you ask willingly, gladly, if I thought it right, but I donot think so. To pardon this young man would be to emcourage crime in the state. Besides I have not the prerogative alone. It is shared by the executive.”

“But he is innocent. I know he is.”

“The jury found him guilty, and the judge condemned him to death. People would say, and justly, that we did wrong to reverse their decision and pardon a murderer.”

‘He is no murderer! And he is so young, and he hassuffered somuch, and I love him, and”—here her voice broke, and she buried her face despairingly in her hands for a moment, the president meanwhile sitting in deep thought. Then he rose and abruptly left the room. Min- aie waited, bewildered, agonized, for a few minutes.

Then the president returned, bearing in his hand a slip of paper. Minnie’s heart reached her mouth, if there isany- thing in the phrase.

“IT have seen my executive,” said the president. ‘*We cannot pardon him and set him free as you wish, but his sen- tence shall be commuted. Gre this to the landdrost tonight. He shall hear further from me.”

Minnie took the paper from the presi- dent’s hand, scarcely able to repeat the burning words of gratitude that rose to her lips.

“I cannot thank you asI hould,” ehe murmured, “but 1 shall never forgei your goodness, and God will bless you forever.”

She took the big hand of President Paul, pressed it reverently to her lips and was speedily gone.

Once more in the coach on the way 0 Johannesburg, Minnie’s tears fell fast, but they were tears of gratitude, thank- fulness and joy that she had so well suc- ceeded in her mission.

Arrived in Johannesburg, she lost not a moment in seeking the landdrost, to whom she handed the president’s paper.

On St. Patrick’s day, 1894, five throngh trains, bound both to the east- ward and westward of the Oregon Short Line of the Union Pacitic, were tied up at Glenns Ferry, Ida. They had been pinght between two serious washouts, tne at Pocatello and the other at Indian Creek, three duys before, and had to wait at Gleuns Ferry for track repairs along the line before they could proceed, Glenns Ferry isa bleak little railroad and sheep nerders’ town of 800 or 400 inbabitants, situate on a sagebrush bluff overlooking the unspeakably dark aud dreary Snake river.

The five stalled trains carried 600 passengers of as miscellaneous a charac- ter as cousd be gotten together ata carefully selected congress of types ‘There were emigrants and millionaires, soldiers ou the move; dainty women in palace cars and women bound for Creede and Cripple Creek in day coaches; min- ers who killed time during the wait in shooting magpies circling over the Snake river; Shoshone Indians travel- ing to the Jimits of their reservation; well behaved and quiet people, noisy and tumultuous people. But all were etuck alike, and they made the best of it.

Lines of scecial demarcation were for the time erased. All hands mingled easily ou the little station platform and in the little station waiting room. The supply cf food on the dining cars gave out the first day of the hitch, and every- body was fed, and well fed, too, in the station eating room. ‘They sat down at the tables in relays and patiently awaited their turns.

The railroad employees and their wives were to give a dance at the little town hall on St. Patrick’s night. The switchman who had been customarily employed to fiddle for them had been switched to another division. In aquan- dary, the dance committee toured the trains and station to ascertain if any of the stalled passengers happened to be carrying a violin and was capable of producing music on it. In one ot the sleeping cars they came across an artistic looking man, with very long hair, a seraphic, oleaginous countenance and exceedingly baggy clothes. They were looking for & fiddler, they said. Did he know of avy on the train? Well, he didu’t know (in outrageously bad Eng- lish); be played a little himself once in awhile, and had rather a fair fiddle with him. The long haired man accent- ed the ‘‘fiddle’’ rather curiously. But thie railroad men were overjoyed. Would be play for them to dance with their wives and sweethearts? Certainly! Did he know dance music? Well, some.

All of the stalled passengers were in- vite! to the dance, and they all went. A zood many of them could not get in. The beggily clothed fiddler turned up in gccitime. The pianist was waiting for him. So was the railroad dance committee, one cf the members of which slipped $3 in one dolier bills into the Sadler's hand ngs navment in advance for tha evening 8 Work. 15 Was amuung- ly acecptcd. The dance began. The lirex:an'’s wife, who played the piano, produced an old bethumbed violin and piano tune book znd turned to the lan- cers. She told tbe fiddler, at the end of the first dance, that he did pretty well, only be went too fast. Then there was a waltz. The fiddle? was informed by bis accompanist that he was getting along finely, and everybody in the room began to prick up his ears at the sweet- pess of the violiy music, although the dances Were common enough and tawdry enough.

Another waltz—the ‘‘Beautiful Blue Danube.’’ All of the dancers on the floor stopped dead at the first bar, and the travelers with cultivated musical ears moved close to the piano. The pi- auist ceased. She wished to listen. The violin music was miraculous, The play- er swayed from side te side as he phras- ed. He appeared to ba oblivious of his surroundings. He improvised variations of inspiring tenderness. He out-Strauss- ed Strauss. His violin sang, throbbed with passion. When the last note died away, the people in the hall appeared to be in a dream—all but one. .-

A Tenderfoot’s Amusing Experience In a Washington Logging Camp.

“My first experience at lumbering,” said acertain prominent citizen the other night, “was in making a bean hole. Of course you don’t know what a bean hole is. No more did J when I went up on Ram river in 1868 and applied for work in one of Washburne’s camps. I neglected to tell the boss that I didn’t know the difference between a gee haw and across haul, and maybe he took me for an all rounder at the business. Anyhow I was hired offhand, and the next morning the foreman said to me, ‘Weistling, you take Joe and Charlie here and go over to the new camp and chink up and build a bean hole.’ ‘Allright,’ I said, as cheerful as could be, and off we started.

“As soon as we'd got into the timber I halted the boys and asked, *What’s this chink up the old man wants?’ Joe looked at me pretty hard and told me about tight- ening up between the cabin and logs with clay. ‘And what’s a bean hole?’ I inquired. But the boysseemed to be getting pretty tired about something. You see, they didn’t like the idea of being put under sucha greenhorm, and both claimed they didn’t know what a bean hole was. So I told them to wait there a minute, and I ran back to the foreman and said, ‘Look here, Mr. Cole, how big do you want that bean hole?’ ‘Oh, 6 by 6or8 by 8,’ be said. ‘And how deep do you want it?’ ‘Three or four feet,’ he answered.

“Well, when we got the new camp we chinked the cabin all right, and then | measured off a space 8 feet square, and we started to dig 8 feet deep. I was going to carry out the boss’ biggest figures to show whatagood man I was. We dug all that day and it was hard work, for the soil was loose, and the sides of the hole kept tumbling in on us. When we got back to camp that evening the foreman asked me if I’d finished the bean hole, and I told him not quite, but we'll finish her up tomorrow. Toward noon next day we were pretty near through and we were smoothing the bot- tom of the sepulcher when the foreman showed up to examine progress. I didn’t notice him till I heard him roar, ‘What the-— are you fellows doing?’ I looked up, and there stood the old man with mixture of astonishment and indignation on his face. Then I knew something was wrong —I’d had my misgivings all along—but I answeredas coolly as I could thatI was making a bean hole.

***4 bean hole?’ he shouted, ‘a bean hole? Well, you come out of that bean hole quick, you blanked bean hole idiot!’ And then Le began to laugh, and I never heard a mau laugh like that before nor since. It seemed asif he never would get through, and of course it sounded very unpleasant to me. I soon learned what bean hole is.

“You see they build a log inclosure about 8 feet high and 5 or 6 feet square and fill it with clay, In the middle they sink a deep hole and start a fire of maple sticksin it. When there is a good bed of coals, they put in a potof beans and cover it over with ashes and clay, and the beans steam in there till they are done and make the best eating you ever got in the woods. But the bean hole wound me upinthatcamp. The story went all through the woods and from the head waters of Rum river to Anoka, and there was so much snickering wherever I went that I couldn’t standit, Why, men came 10 and 15 miles from other caimps to get asquint at thechap that built the bean hole. So, though I didn’t make any more special- ly bad breaks there, I pretty soon called for my time and got out of the country.”— South Bend (Wash.) Journal.
