Retribution,
He was a pretty little fellow of per¬
haps 5 years, and he looked through l he
w indow-of the restaurant with hungry,
longing eyes at the big cakes and rows
ot tempting pies; at last flattening his
little nose against the glass as if to be
nearer the beautiful viands was more
iwtisfying. There was something in his
appearance which was so different from
the ordinary little street boy that 1 first
atopfml and looked, then addressed
him with :
“ Then for God’s sake take my boy
and make him good ; let him he your
child, and, when he gets old enough to
understand, give him that desk,” point¬
ing to one on a table at iter side. “ I
ing Lave written out, my ail history as a warn¬
to him, and my papers of any
value are there; I hare nothing left of
my father’s property ; he has sold it all
and squandered the money. I believe
he where went to Italy Europe with another and is of living sofiie
in his dupes ;
my boy is portionless. Will yon, oh,
Alice, will you forgive all and take
him ? ”
“ I will:”
I could say no more, and, the excite¬
I ment being over, she fell back exhausted.
summoned assistance from one of the
other rooms, and begged them to go for
the nearest physician ; but it was too
late ; he came but to say that she was
go her ng head fast, and ere night she died with
on my shoulder.
I had sent a note to m.y husband ex¬
plaining my absence, and he was there
with a carriage to take home myself and
our new child. He knew all. I had
told him the sore secret of my heart
before I married him. As Eloise had
said, him he was a good'man, and when I
told her wish about her boy he
said quietly;
“ The child is ours now.”
There was a quiet funeral, and Eloise
Anderson was laid beside her lost little
girl.
And this is the story of our two lives.
Years before, Eloise Grayson and I,
Alice Browne, were* together at Ma lame
C.’s boarding-school for young and ladies. she
Her father was called wealthy,
and a sister several years her senioi
were all that were loft of a and, large family.
Eloise was very beautiful, when at
school she had admirers who would meet
us and bow in our daily walks —

aud see me in ouA</i.-a-t country home
when she liked. She had, however, too
gay a life and too many admirers to care
to accept my invitation then. Mean
while I settled down at home and helped
my mother sew aud learned to keep
house, and also learned something else
—to love with all my heart a handsome,
dashing young man who had come to
our quiet village to stay for a few days,
but had lengthened out those days lived into
weeks. Edwin Anderson almost
^TLSSfUrst*™ta.’S
wrote to saj sbe wascommg to make me
that long-promised visit. Well, she
came, and at her very first monopolized meeting wit Lis l

hand, saying in a low, breathless Toice :
“ Eddy dear, where have you been ? ”
Then she raised her eyes, and, seeing me
standing in the doorway, she turned
deathly pale, and, throwing up her
hands, said, wildly; “Oh, Tod, Alice, she
has come, she has come! Alice,
forgive me ! I am dying now ! ”
Forsdve her ? Yes, with the grim
shadow of death hanging over her I
could not do otherwise. I went to the
bedside and took her hand.
Eloise “I am all glad to have found you,
; is forgiven.”
I could say no more ; the poor, thin
{ac ®- feverish eyes and shrunken form
made my heart ache. She raised her¬
self up, and, clutching my hand, said :
“ Listen, Alice, I am dying. I must
speak Heaven; now; my punishment is from

venged, ’’—pointing and my little gill has gone, and

are all dead, and his father—I dc not
know if he is living or dead, bnt he
should not have my innocent boy to
ruin. Oil, Alice, you look the same as
ever; will you take care of my boy ? ”
For an instaut I recoiled; I take Edwin
Anderson’s child to my house to live
with my children ? It seemed impos¬
sible ; bnt those large, wistful eyes were
fixed on me ; I must answer.
“I will find a home for him, Eloise.”
“ You will not take him yourself,
Alice? ” And she raised herself up, and
excitement lent strength to her voice.
“Alice, I heard of your marriage to a
good man. Have you children ? ”
“1 have a little girl 3 years old and a
baby.”
The Cause of Mob Law.
The existence of mob law in a commu¬
nity indicates either a state of semi-civ¬
ilization as di-played in our frontier set
ti mei.t a where government is still ia
embryo, or a lack of confidence in the
justice meted out by the courts. "Wiiea
w& find this disorder apparently increas¬
ing in old and conservative portions oi
the country, and when summary ven
ge&nce for crime is winked at. if not
openly approved by sober, respectable
than people, it is evident wrong'. that something more
ordinary is They don’t
approve of mob law because they believe
it to be right, 'they know it is ail wrong,
and a disgrace to the community even
w hen the sufferer from it deserved his
fate, instead of being, as is sometimes
the case, an entirely innocent individual.
Why is this? There can lie only one
answer. It is the delay and difficulty, if
not ishing impossibility criminals in through many cases, of pun¬
methods. The Constitution the ordinary careful
was
to guarantee to criminals the right to a
speedy and impartial trial, but that in
most cases is the last thing they want.
The vary first effort of a prisoner’s at¬
torneys, too often successful, is for de¬
lay, in the hope, that new subjects may
engross the attention of the public., ■'dt
ne-ses become scattered and the most
unfavorable facts forgotten. That the
public has any right to a speedy trial is
a fact too often ignored. This of itself
tends to encourage crime, for the moral
effect of punishment is largely lost when
so long delayed, even insanity if conviction dodge has is
attained. Then the

as to practically work a denial of jus¬
tice. Men whose sanity had been trusted

after weary waiting I had took np the newspaper
my father got through with it
and looked carelessly and absently at
then the advertisements, the local items, and
my eye wandered to the marriage
list. There I saw the marriage of Alex
I ander Anderson to Eloise Greyson. I did
: Dot faint nor scream. I only felt numb
j for a while, then I quietly handed the
paper to my mother, pointing to that
place, and as quietly left the room and
went up-stairs to my own chamber,
where I sat by the window, looking out
on the moonlit garden, and tried to un
derstand. My mother soon followed
me. and then passed the most miserable
hours of my exist; nee ; my first lore and
faith and joy all shattered. Of coarse I
felt ns if I mus! die ; but I was proud ; I
would not be pitied by the neighbor*-;
and so I threw off' the awful pam when
I was with others. Youth is very buoy¬
ant ; I had good health, a good home
and good parents ; and soon two bright,
teasing cousins were invited to make us
a visit; so in time I crushed this love,
which was sin now, from my Young
heart.
Five years afterward I met and learned
to Jove with a quieter, deeper affection,
born of respect, my good husband, Hen¬
ry Halford, an elderly lawyer, who cams
to see my father about a lawsuit, and
having come once came again and again,
until at last he came to carry me to a
beautiful house in the city as its mistress
and his honored wife. We have two
dear little children, and I am very hap¬
py, and very proud of ray “elderly”
husband.
We call our new son Alexander Hal¬
ford, dropping the old name forever;
and I pray that he may be as good and
honorable y,~ a man as bis adopted father
