The blacksmith looked at the Englishman compassionately, and took his pipe out of his mouth. **Don’t be too cocksure,’’ ‘he said dryly. ‘‘It’s a serious business,”’ he con- tinued loudly so as to be overheard by several ethers, ‘‘to accuse a man of maurder.”” The minister looked up at the speaker with a gratified nod. ‘‘Amen to that,’’ he said solemnly. The two passed by. Others followed, straggling. The black- smith gazed after them intently, until they turned into Burns’ yard. Then he bent over to the gray’s off hind foot, as if nothing unusual had happemed. But there had. His pipe was out. Suspicions, sullen, frightened, defi- ant, George Williams glared from one to the other, as the minister, with a whispered word of encouragement, ush- ered the farmhand into the presence of the constable, the doctor and the store- keeper. Tbe teacher of the town acade- my had sen added that morning to the impromré, coroner’s jury. and he sug- gested that Williams should be iii. diately taken to the barn. ‘I don't see why I should go.

Williams turn- ed livid. He stammered like a man sen- tenced to a terrible doom. ‘‘TI~-a—let me go—I will go.’’ He started as if to force his way through the barrier of sturdy men. He was caught in a trap. ‘*‘Where were you last night between 8 amd 9?’’ The laborer shook his head vacantly. All sense had left his eyes. He was ina stupor of fear. His fate had entangied him. His mouth had dropped open. “Do you recognize this hatchet?’’ the constable asked sharply. “Why so severe?’’ whispered the cler- gyman to his deacon. ‘‘There is yet no proof against him.” ““No,’’ said Williams feebly. Sudden- ly he shrieked: ‘‘I am innocent! I will not be tortured!’ Then he collapsed. Alj the bulldog had gone out of him. As the constable held the hatchet up before the prisoner's eyes three marks were noticed—finely crossed lines, cut into the end of the handle. ““Why, it is my hatchet!’’ exclaimed the parson in innocent surprise. ‘*My little boy cut those marks with his jack- knife. How could the hatchet have got into Mr. Burns’ barn?’’ At these words Williams fell upon the floor in a dead faint. It only needed the scantiest cross ex- amination to bring the fact out that Williams had used the marked hatchet all the day before in the orchard. Then the woman with whom Williams board- ed felt called upon to volunteer the in- formation-that her lodger had not come in until after 9 the night before. “It seems to me, gentlemen,’’ said the constable with the gravity that the situation demanded, ‘‘that I had better hitch up and take him right over to the county jail. It is a pretty plain case. Will you go along, doctor?"’ Low murmurs of approval followed these words. “‘Idon’t see any mystery about it yet,’’ said the graduate, filling his pipe for the third time, “‘and I don’ t see where your jury comes in either.’ “It was my first important murder case,’’ the judge resumed, ignoring the interruption (at this point I quote the old jurist exactly. He was evidently living his famous case over again), ‘‘and I remember well the charge I gave to the jury. I practically instructed them to retire and immediately to bring in a verdict of murder in the first degree. It was a neat case of circumstantial evi- dence, and the defense did little more than throw itself upon the mercy of the court.’ The jury was an average one. The foreman was a cboleric, hatchet faced, sandy complexioned farmer who had served as foreman before and was im- pressed with the importance of his own views as well as of his own position. Perhaps William Worthely, the black- smith, was the most intelligent as well as the most disinterested member of the jury. He followed the evidence with keen attention and listened to the charge with independent courtesy. I happened to notice as he marched out that his great jaws were firmly closed, while the | faces of the rest of the erg are laxed. _.-.-..--- 23 Jury filed out. The court took a few minutes’ recess only, expecting to sentence the murderer in a few minutes, The spectators remained in their seats. ‘‘Well,’’ said the foreman easily, stroking his sharp chin, ‘‘hay is about ready to cut, and there’s no use of our staying here any longer. There’s no two ways of looking at it. I guess we can follow the judge. For the sake of for- mality we’ll drop our ballots in the hat. We’re unanimous—guilty, of course. | I’ve got three miles to ride and have got to be home to supper.”’ The vote was hurriedly taken. Then all but one eagerly rose. Worthely alone remained seated, smoking his pipe stol- idly and looking out of the window, while curious lines of amusement played ground his eyes and mouth. ‘*By gracious!’’ cried the foreman. looking at the ballots in amazement and then eying one after the other of his fellowasuspiciously. ‘‘Some one has put in ‘not guilty,’ and he has had the audacity to under ‘not.’ I should like to know who this gentleman is. We can’t afford to waste time in fool’s play here.’’ Here he cast a bullying look upon the most insignificant mem- ' ber of the 12. But this person, in the consciousness of innocence, returned an unflinching grlance, ‘We inust settle this right away’’— began the f¢reman. i ‘‘Have the gentlemen of the jury agreed?’ Thecourt officer put his head in at the door. ‘‘The court is waiting.”’ | ‘*No,’’ answered the foreman with red face, ‘‘but we will. Now,’’ he said turning to his jurymen, ‘‘we will find out who votes ‘not guilty,’ and I prom- ise you that we will make it hot for | him. <All for ‘guilty,’ hold up your | hands. Opposed. ”’’ Every man in the room turned upon | William Worthely. The blacksmith now dropped his hand nonchalantly and | looked from one to the other with a cool glance. He secme unflurried person present. The foreman, who had bullying epithet ready upon his tonzue, dropped his jaw with- out speech. Worth 15 was ca a man to be blackguarded—he was too big; nor to be trifled with—he was too digni- fied; nor to be argued with—he was too logical. While the foreman was feared because he }:iold much signed paper and many morigages in his possession, Worthely was feared because of his self reliant nature and fine physique. ‘Fire awny at me,’’ he said, with ag- gravating good humor. ‘‘I don’t think he’s guilty, and I never shall. Who saw him do it? No one. So there’s no direct evidence. ”” ‘But he can’t account for himself,’’ urged the foreman despairingly. ‘‘Do have a little reason.’’ ‘*Reason?”* replied the blacksmith bluntly. “I'll reason yon until we've acquitted him. Here’s my word for it.’’ He brought his great fist down upon the table, smashing a leaf clean off. ‘‘I’ll not budge a hairbreadth until that in- nocent man is set free. God is my wit- ness—I mean what I say.’’ ** And,’’ cried the foreman vindictive- ly, ‘‘we won't budge either. I've been foreman before, Mr. Blacksmith, and I know 11 men. can bring one around, give them ttime:"’ ‘*You’ll have it fast enough,’’ sneer- ed Worthely. **And I should like to know how you know he is innocent.’’ To taunt the one dissenting voice in the jury room is no new devite. The horrors of that closed chamber car never be told. And now followed hot question and cool answer. On one side stood 11 men, angry clear through, burling confused argument and bitter taunts. “Burns named him in As last breath.*’ **Aren*t there any other men by the name of Williams in the world?’’ sar- casticaliy. ‘‘ Your first name is William,’’ grin- ned the foreman, with a thrust of the lean; red neck. **So ia yours,’’ was the quick parry. ‘But where was the prisoner?’” *“*I don’t deny he might have seen Burns that evening, but that is no 9 ‘‘How about the hatchet?’ “‘He might have easily dropped it and somebody else picked it up, and then used it.’’ ** Nonsense!” “Rot i** **Yon’re crazy.” “Let him yal gentlesnen ; hfs Tead is tetched.’’ (To be Continued.) rt ee "score some Thore goods have got to be sold, for we have got to leave, We will sell ata big | ape siscount rather than remove them to another place.
