I think,” he went on, “that God must take a broad er view than Mr. Blackstone and Lord Coke. I have seen a murder in the law that was, in fact, only a kind of awful accident, and I have seen your catalogue of crimes gore about by feedle men with no intent except an adjustment of their rights. Their crimes, Lewis, were merely errors of their !mpractical judgment.” Then he seemed to remember that the Englishman was present “And now,- Mr. Gosford,” he said, “will you kindly ask young Marshall to come tn here The man would have refused, with some rejoinder, but my father was Jooking at him, and he could not find the courage to resist my fathers will. He got up and went out, and present ly returned followed by the lad and Goek!. The old country doctor sat down by the door, his leather case of bottles by the chair, his cloak still fastened under his chin. Gosford went hack to the table and sat down with his writing materials to keep notes. The boy stood My father looked a tong time at the tad. His face was grave, but when he spoke his voice was gentle. “My boy,” he said, “I have had a good deal of experience in the exam ination of the devil's work.” He paused and indicated the violated room. “It is often excellently done His disciples are extremely clever. One's ingenuity Is often taxed tu trace out the evil design in it, and to stamp it as a false piece set into the natural sequence of events,” He paused again, and his big shoul- ders blotted out the window. “Every natural event,” he continu- ef, “is intimately ecmnected with in- numerable events that precede and foliow.

But it was not written that way. It is fifty thousand dollars to Mr. Gosford, and the remainder to me. If it were thirty thousand do'lars points of contact with other events that the human mind {s not able to fit a false event so that no trace of the joinder will appear. The most skilled workmen in the devils shop are only able to give their false piece a Dlurred joinder.”” He stopped and turneé to the row of mahogany drawers beside him. “Now, my boy,” he said, “can you tell me why the one who ransacked this room, in opening and tumbling the contents of all the drawers about. qa not open the two at the bottom of ‘the row where T stand,” “Because there was nothing in them of valve, sir,” replied the lad. “What Is in them?” said my father. “Only old letters, sir, written to my father, when I was in Paris—nothing else.” “And who would know that?” said my father. The boy went suddenly white. “Precisely!” said my father. “You alone knew it, and when you under- took to give this library the appear- ance of a pillage room, you uncon. eclously endowed your imaginary rob- ber with the thing you know yourself Why search for loot in drawers that contained only old letters. So your imaginary robber reasoned, knowing what you knew. But a real robber, having no such knowledge, would have ransacked them lest he miss the things of value that be searched for.” He paused, his eyes on the lad, his Voice deep and gentle. ‘Where is the will,” he said The white in the boy’s face changed to scarlet. He looked a moment about him in a sort of terror; then he lifted his head and put back his shoulders He crossed the room to bookcase, took down 2 volume, opened it and brought out a sheet of folded foolscap. He stood up and faced my father and the men about the room. “This man,” he said, indicating Gosford, “has no right to take all my father had. He persuaded my father and was trusted by him. But I did not truet him. My father saw this plan in a light that I did not see it, but I did not oppose him, If he wished to use his fortune to help our country in the thing which he thought he foresaw, I was willing for him to do it.” “But.” he cried, “somebody de celved me, and I will not belfeve that it was my father. He told me all about this thing. I had not the health to fight for our country, when the tr came, he said, and as he had nc son, our fortune must go t« t purpose in our stead. But r was just. He sald that « por on would be set aside for me, and the remainder turned over to Mr Gosford. But this will gives all to Mr. Gosford and leaves me nothing" Then he came forward and put the | paper in my father’s hand. There was silence except for the sharp voice of Mr. Gosford. to Mr: Gosford, as my father said his will would be, that would have left me twenty thousand dollars from the estate; but giving Mr. Gosford fifty thousand dollars leaves me nothing.” “And so you adventured on a little larceny,’ sneered the Englishman The boy stood very straight and white. “I do not understand this thing.” he said, “but I do not believe that my father w 1 deceive me He never did deceive me in his life I may been a disappointment to h'm, my father was a gentler voice went up strong and c I refuse to believe that he we me one thing and do another!
