His Father’s Spiritual Vision. 8Y HAROLD CARTER. The pardons board was divided, | three against three, in the case of James Jones, and the casting vote rested with Henry Alton. The mat- ter was a perplexing one. Jones was now five and thirty years of age and had spent nine years in the state penitentiary for killing a fellow man in a drunken brawl. His sentence had eleven years more to run. A little public sentiment had been dis- played in favor of the prisoner, but this was of a purely sentimental or der. It had been aroused by the loy- alty of the prisoner's sweetheart, Mary Lomax, who had petitioned suc- cessive governors and boards in vain and who, it was known, was waiting for his release to marry him. She had stuck to him since his conviction. Henry Alton was a good man in the eyes of the world but what is more, he was actually good. He lived up to his convictions. A deacon |in his church, a leader of the anti- : liquor movement, he passed as a W | shrewd, hard, conscientious type of citizen. He knew that justice was not : temperamentally mixed with mercy in his mind and wished to do his duty to the state and the accused. There- fore he did not visit Jones, lest he should be swayed by sentiment, but went away for a week to think over the matter, He went to Lake hotel, Falrview, and after three days he had come to no decision. On the fourth day he resolved to vote against the pardon. i As he got inte the train on his home- | ward journey a young woman fol i lowed him and took the vacant halt | of his seat, although the coach wes nearly empty. When Alton looked at , her in mild surprise he saw that her eyes were read from weeping. “My dear madam!” he said, rather shocked, “is anything the matter? Can I kelp you in any way?” “Yes, Mr. Alton,” she answered. “My name is Mary Lomax.” The train was rushing toward the metropolis. Alton was disconcerted. For three days ho had read petitions - - | | | ‘ tentiary. by Mary Lomax addressed to succes- sive governors; now the young wom- an was at his side. She was a sweet- looking, comely girl, perhaps about eight and twenty. She was simply dressed; she impressed Alton very favorably. “You have come to ask me to vote | for the pardon?” he said to her. She bowed her head. “I heard you were at Fairview. I followed you there and learned you were on your way homeward 1 hurried to the sta- tion—and here I «m.” Henry Alton was distinctly annoyed. He assumed his most judicial man- ner. “I may as well tell you,” he said, “that T have decided to vote against pardoning Jones. I have looked into the cace very thorgughly. A man who takes the life of a fellow man—" “Clapp was trying to murder him,” ¢aid the gi with a fow sob. “It was | his life or the other man's.” “The life of a fellow man under any‘ circumstances, deserves condign pun- fshment,” continued Alton. “There may have been some slight extenua- tion. But Jones has been amply con-| My decision {8 final.” “Wili you let me tefl you his story?” said the girl. “I will only ask you once more when I have ended, and then, if you still refuse—well, that will be all,” she said, sighing. | “I cannot well help myself,” an- swered Alton with a frosty smile.| ‘When he was sixteen James got into i ]wns weak, he sank lower and: lower !

He +until I met him. It was in a mission, and he had gone there to listen and 'deride. Instead of that the spirit of | love entered into his heart. We worked together for three months. I was engaged to marry him, “Then—well, he fell in with some old friends. They laughed at him when he told them of his changed life. In mockery they tempted him with liquor. He could not resist. He fell once more. For two weeks he was gone—where, I do not know. On the fifteenth day he stood in the magistrate’s court, charged with mur der. But it was his father who should bave saved him, and the guilt is on his soul, not on the boy's.” For the first time ghe glanced up at Henry Alton. The man was vis- ibly shaken. The perspiration was streaming down his forehead and his hands were shaking. Her words had gone home. “One of those hard, un- yielding men,” she had sald. A mask seemed to fall from before his spir- ftual vision and he saw himself, a Pharisee, one of those who obeyed the letter and not the spirit. “And you intend to marry him when he is freed?” he asked. “I have waited nine years,” she an- swered. “T can wait eleven more. But, Mr. Alton, will you not set him free? O, what good will it do to keep in prizon one who has long repented, whose crime was the result of a life of evil already atoned for? Make him happy!” She might have sald happy,” thought Alton. The train rushed on, but he did not answer her. He was struggling with a whole uprush of new feelings which had long lain prisoned beneath the icy bonds of his conventional righteous- ness. He thought of his own son, his only child, whom he had driven from home for just such a boyish escapade years before. How often he had long- ed for another chance to help the boy, but pride forbade. He had tried to balance his deeds before God, and he had forgotten that God's dice are loaded and his balances weighted. Nothing but love could counterbal- ance sin. “Miss Lomax,” he sald presently, turning to her, “I told you that I base my convictions upon justice. In this case I think justice has been done. I will see the prisoner at once—I can't say what I will do—but if the circum- stances merit setting him free I will vote for his release.” “When you look into his eyes,” she said, “you wiil know that there will be no danger of his proving undeserv- ing.” She snapped open a locket and i showed Alton a photograph within. “That was taken nine years ago,” she i sald. “He has changed greatly, but I'mot for the worse. You—" She stopped suddenly, for Henry ;Alton's eyes were filled with tears, 1and he was staring at the photograph | with an expression that no man had ; ever seen upon his face before.
