CHAPTER LIL.
Rozsrrt Pexroip drew himself up to his ‘full height, and uttered these strange |words with a sad majesty that was very |imposing. But General Rolleston, steeled ‘by experience of convicts, their plausibil- ity, and their histrionic powers, was stag- gered only for amoment. He deigned no reply; but told Helen Captain Moreland was waiting for her, and she had better go on board at once.
She stood like a statue.
* No, papa, I'll not tarn my back on him till I know whether he is a felon or a mariyr.’
‘My poor child, has he caught you at once with a clever phrase # A judge and a jury have settled that.’
‘They settled it as you would settle it, by refusing to hear me.’
‘Have I refused to hear you?’ said Helen.
‘What do I care for steamboats: and cap- tains? If I stay here to all eternity, I'll know from your own lips and your own face whether you are 8 felon ora martyr. It is ne phrase, papa. He is a felon or a martyr; and I am a most unfortunate girl, or else a base, disloyal ono.’ ‘Fidd'e-dee,’ said General Rolleston, angrily. Then, looking at his watch: ‘I give you five minutes to humbug us in—if you can.’
Robert Penfold sighed patiently. But from that moment he ignored General Rol- leston, and looked to Helen only. Andshe fixed her eyes upon his face with a tenacity and an intensity of observation that sur- passed anything he had ever seen in hs life. It dazaled him; but it did not dismay him.
‘Miss Rolleston,’ said he, ‘my story can be told in the time my prejudiced judge sliows me. I am a clergyman and a private tutor at Oxford. One of my pupils was—Arthur Wardlaw. = I took an interest in him because my father, Michael Penfold, was in Ward- law's emply. This arthur Wadlaw had a talent for mimicry; he mimicked one of the college officers publicly and offensively, and was about to be expelled, and that would have ruined his immediate prospects; for his father ie just, but stern. 1 fought hard for him, and, being myself popular with the authorities, I got him off. He was grateful, or seemed to be, and we beca’ne greater friends than ever. We confided in each other. He told me he was in debt in Oxford, and much alarmed lest it should reach his father’s ears, and lose him the promised partnership. I told him I was desirous to buy a small living near Oxford, which was then vacant; but I had saved only £400, and the price was £1,000; I had no means of raising the balance. Then he said, ‘Borrow £2,000 of my father; give me fourteen hundred of it, and take your own time to repay the £600. I shall be my father’s partner in a month or two,’ said he; ‘you can pay us back by instalments.’ I thought this very kindof him, I did not want the living for myself, but to give my déar father certain comforts and country airevery week. He needed it; he was born in the country. Well, I came to London about this business; and a stranger called on me and said he came from Mr. Arthur Wardiaw, who was not well enough to come himself. He produced a note of hand for £2,000, signed John Wardlaw, and made me endorse it, and told me where to get it cashed; he would come next day for Arthur Wardlaw’s share of the money. Well, I suspected no ill, would you? I went and got the note discounted, and locked the money up. It was not my money; the greater part of it was Arthur Wardlaw’s. That same evening a policeman called, and asked several questions, which of course I answered. He then got me out of the house on some pretence and arrested me as a forger.’
‘Oh!’ cried Helen.
‘t forgot the clergyman; I was a gentle- man, and a man, insulted, and [ knocked the officer down directly. But his myrmi- dons overpowered me. I was tried at the Central Criminal Court on two charges. First, the Crown (as they call the attorney who draws the indictment) charged me with forging the note of hand; and then with not forging it, but passing it, well knowing that somebody else had forged it. Well, Undereliff, the expert, swore positively that the forged note was not written by me; and the Crown, as they call it, was defeated on that charge; but being proved a liar in a court of justice did not abash my accuser; the second charge was pressed with equal confidence. The note, you are to under- stand, was forged; that admits of no doubt, and I passed it; the question was whethes I passed it knowing it to be forged. How) was that to be determined? And here

death were lies like himself. For want of one word from Arthur Wardlaw to explain that I had every reason to expect a note of hand from him, the jury condemned me. They were twelve honest, but shallow men, invited to go inside another man’s bosom and guess what was there. They guessed that I knew and understood a thing which to this hour I neither know nor under- stand, by God!’
He paused a moment, then resumed:
‘I believe they founded their conjecture on my knocking down the officer. There was a reason ior you’ Why, forgers and their confederates are reptiles, and have no fight in them. Experience proves this. Bat these twelve men did not go by ex- perience; the guessed like babies, and after much hesitation, condemned me; but recom- mended me to mercy. Mercy! What mercy did I deserve! Either I was inno- cent, or hanging was too good for me. No, in their hearts they doubted my guilt; and their doubt took that timid form instead of acquitting me. I was amazed at the vordict and atked leave to tell the judge why Arthur Wardlaw hadjdefied the court and absented himself as my witmess. Had the judge listened for one minute he would have seen | wasinnocent. But no. I was in England, where the mouth of the accused is stopped, if he is fool enough to employ counsel. The judge stopped my mouth, as your father just now tried to stop it; and they branded me as a felon.
(To be continued.)
A Thrilling Adventure,
The following adventure, although hap- pening some time ago, has never appeared in print, says the Agents’ Herald, of Phila- delphia. The hero, a resident of Cincin- nati, for by that title he deserves to be known, was a messenger in the employ of the Adams Express Oompany, and running on the O. & M. Railway, between Cincin- natiand St. Louis. One intensely cold night in mid-winter, in 1866, the express train from Cincinnati reached East St. Louis several hours late. The mag- nificent bridge over the Mississippi had not been constructed, and passsengers and freight had to be transferred by terr
boat. At the time referred to the river was frozen over, and teams crossed over without difficulty or danger iv the daytime. But at night, owing to the treacherous air- holes in the ice, no transfer couid be mace. The messenger, when he reached East St. Louis, had $90,000 in currency with him, and had beeu instructed to deliver it to the St. Louis office that night, the east side of the river not being regarded as very safe at
~
in.
that time. A little after ten o'clock at night, equipped with a lantern and carrying his valuable burden with him, the messenger started
across the river. The mereury was below zero, and the wind blowing a gale added to the discomfort. There was a mile of ice etween him and his destination, with hundred of invisible airholes to look out for and avoid, but he counted upon making the shore in half an hour at most. He made yood progress for the first half of the distance, wheu & slip on the ice and a fall extenguished the lantern. In such a wind a match could not be made to burn, and there was left ne other course but to retrace his steps or push on. He choose the latter, because he could be guided by the street lampsin thecity. Getting down upon his hands and knees, he commenced his journey anew. Every few feet he would en- counter a dangerous place, and must crawl around it, sometimes a distance of only a few feet and often several rods. Not a single foot of the distance could be travelled upright. Many times he felt dis- couraged and tempted to give up. After-a while he felt himself slowly freezing to death as he recognized the symptoms, and he felt a sort of joy that he could at least die a painless death after the sufferiug he had been enduring. But he pushed on in spite of the drowsiness that was rapidly overcoming him. At length he reached the shore, when he for the first time thought of a new danger in the rough characters that belopg on the riverfront. Thus stimulated he tried to make his way up town. Fortunately he ran across a policeman, who literally dragged him to the express office. He was able only to hand the package to the re- ceiving clerk, and sank to the floor insen- sible. He had been two hovrs in making the distance, and more than two-thirds of that time had been spent in crawling over the ice. He recovered, but his shortened, stubby fingers of both hands, tell in part the story of the terrible suffering of those two hours, and the subsequent days of tor- ment while under treatment.
