A CASE FOR KING SOLOMON. At for minutes past ten o'clock in the morning Sylvanus Mordle, who for some quarter of an hour had been waiting at the cross roads as patiently as tho finger post itaelf, saw Beatrico coming towards him, Ho hastened to meet her, and his sharp eyes at once noticed that she looked worn and weary. Had he known that she had spent a sleepless night this would have caused him no sur- prise, The two walked on until they reached the outskirts of the city. Here, by Beatrice's command, the curate hailed a cab, *Where shall w drivo tof” he asked. ““There, if you please,” said Beatrice, hand- ing him a paper., Mordlo stared, and could scarcely repressa cry of surprise. | Tho paper bore the words, “The Cat anl Compass: Market Lane.” He wondered what World Miss Clauson eould want at a ith. rate Blacktown fnn, Howoever, ho gave the order, and in duo time the cab drew up at ite euphonical destination. The “Cat and Compasses” was an inn which had seen better, much better, days, on the strength of which 1t still ventured to call itself o family and commercial hotel, Per- haps it spoke the truth; perhaps its assertion was but a laudablo evidenco of a desiro to regainits formerstatus. Itstood in a narrow strcet very near to Blacktown market, and, judging by external appearance, was the Very last place b which either a family, or even ono of thoso dashing representativos of commerce of our day, would dream of stay- ing. 1t boasted a billiard room, built over a stablo at the back, and approached by a step- ladder. Saving this, its attractions wera fow, beyond tho guy Jooking bottlos and noat g3 ranged temptingly on shelves Tbut bright pawier counter— a cheerful gauntlet to bo run by all who entered the he oIf. What could bring aply this: tho widowed landlady of the an old friend of Mr. and Mrs, Rawlings, Theso respectablo peoplo were staying with Ler, and_Beatrico had_ learncd thoadd=ess given to heruncles. Her busi- ness was to soe Mrs, Rawlings. As tho cab stopped Sylvanus, who know nothing of_tho claim mado on littlo Harry's person, looked inquiringly at his companion. Ho saw that Beatrico had at a glance taken in tho rather disreputable look of tlo “Cat and Compasses,” which was doubtless un. fairly enhanced by & man with a sodden, gin-besieged face, who leaned o ainst the doorpost_smoking o short pipe. Ho saw, moreover, that Beatrico appearcd ogitated. You wero right not to coms alone,” ho said. T [ L “ You were right not to come alone, “Will you step in and ask if a lady can see a Mrs. Rawlings, who is staying thero? Mordle obeyed. Beatrice drew down her voil and leaned backin the cab, Sheclosed her eyes, as if for tho moment toshut out her surroundings. “It must be done!” she murmured, Her oyes were still clozed when sho heard Mordle, his clear accents just tempered by surprise, on sho wanted Vs in the her, Beatrico moved The curato kept the saying that the pe: house, and vould se asif toleave tho cab. door closed. “Miss Clauson,” he said, “can I not dc your crrand for you? This seems searcely tho placo fer you fo enter.” Ho spoke mo y than usual, Hi mind was picturing the consternation intc which Horace and Herbert would be thrown did they but mow that their nieco was visit- ing such Ho felt ho was bo- traying a trust, and until ho could assure self that the end riore than justified the means would bo ill at case, “No,” said Beatrico, I alone can -do it. m-;,u do o follow mo; but I should bo glad Very reluctantly hoopen 1 the cab door, and with many misgivings watched Beatrice g0 past tho sodd R Lier a look of 1 hier o past tho counter, A alin approvel; he watched olorod bottlesand the pewter ppear from si As she who was shrewd enough: man, espec: Do scen at su ar of the morning hang- ing about thodocr of such a tavern, ensconced nself in tho depths of the cab, and waited and wondered. Ho Lonestly belioved that might bo the mission whick brought Beatrice tosucha place, its_object was perfectly pure and womanly, 'Yet hc was unhappy, and felt guilty, Horace and Herbert set hoavily on bis conscience, Char- itableas he knew them to be, prompted by charity as he persuaded himself was Bea- trico's unknown errand, ho was fully aware that no milk of human kindness possessed by the Talberts would induce them to consent to ir niece’s exercising tho sacred quality in or undor the roof of fuch & questionable establishment as the “Cat and Compasscs.” The limits of the charitable obligations of Hazlewood House wero strictly defined by the boundaries of Oakbury parish, At theend of the gleaming pewter coun- ter Beatrice encountered the widowed landlady, whose frame, expansive after tho manuer of widowed landladies, filled up the narrow passage. Sho eyed Miss Clauson curiously, and then conducted her to asnug parlor at the back of the bar. Inu parlors of this sort are always cosy and warm, This was 1o exception to the rule. A cosy, low room, and without cheerful ornaments, soeing that it boasted a largo tea tray inlaid with mother of pear], several colored prints and a handsomely-framed copper-plato writ- ten document, which proclaimed to all who cared to read it that tho deceased proprietor was a member of tho Ancient Order of 0dd Fellows, Bea d none of thes bellishments, Bho took the ¢ offered_her, and, without raisi awaited the appearance of M As 10 woman with any prete spectability and solvency wor facing an unknown visitor withkout some little smoothing of plumes axd adjustment of attire, Miss Clauson had to wait several minutes for the desived sho heard tho door open, sob, ehe rosy twned, & comer, Rawlings' good-natured round, com- monplace face wore an expression of wonder- ment., Sho saw that her visitor was of a class different from that which usually hon- ored her with a morning call. As a tribute to Miss Clauson’s undeniably | kesppear- ance the good Woman's gree which be- gan with a nod, ended in somelhing like a curtsoy, “‘Please be s:ated, giss,” sho said. vou waat to speak to me,” artistic em- r which was g her veil, faced the new “1 hear E--MONDAY, “Yes," said Beatrice, in a low but clear volce. ‘I wish tospeak to you about the child whichi you claim as yours. I wish to hear what you have to say.” The woman's face grew grave. “Ab,” she #aid, “I must send for my husband, He's managing the business,” Beatrice made an fmperious gesture of dis- Sent. ‘‘What I have to say must be said to you. Kindly seo that wo speak without in- terruption.” Mrs. Rawlings settled back in ber chair rather sullenly, and eyed her veiled efsitor with increased euricsity, Suddenly Beatrico again epoke: ““Tell me,” she said, in tones of strong re- proach, and, perhaps’ unwisely, seorn—: tell me why you daro to claim your own a child whom you saw for the first timo a fow days agof™” Mrs, Rawlings seemed troubled. She conld not seo her visitor's eyes, but had the un. comfortable feeling that they wero gazing sternly at her, as if striving to read the truth in her perturbed features. “Welost alittle boy,” sho faltered out, tta dear littlo boy of that age. My man i certain this is ours.” “But you—you are not certain. A man may mako a mistake as ta his own child, but not & woman, Tho mother does not forget her child, or beliove the child of a stranger to be her own.” “My man is 8o certain,” repoated Mrs, Rawlings, “‘ho must be right. Poor fello over sinco our boy was lost hio has been ing him, high and low. It has driven him all but mad at times. Now he bas found the child, and means to have him.” Sho spoke tho last sentence somewhat defiantly, “He will never have him,” said Beatrice, slowly. “Listen tome. Thero is no chance of your obtaining that boy. His mother Jknowsin whose hands he is.

Youseem to bo a kind woman, yet you are ready to work irretrievable harm to another.” “I mean 1o barm _to any one, miss. If it shouldn’t be my child, the mother can’t bo of much account who could desert a pretty littlo dear like that. But there, I've listened too long, and perhaps said more than I ought. 1f youlike to sco my husband, I'll send for him.” Mrs. Rawlings roso asif to terminate the audience. Beatrice also roso and faced her. She threw up her veil, and for the first timo during tho interview showed her face to her companion. No," sho said, with strange vehemence; I have more, much more to say to you. Look me in the face, and feel sure that I am speaking tho truth, What if T tell you that Iknow the mother of this child—know why it was sent to Hazlewood House—know that if forced todo so the mother will claim it publicly — will face whatever tho shame, rather thanyield it to another? Will these things bave weight with you, and make you persuade your husband to let tho matter Test?” ‘Her impassioned manner had itseffect upon her listencr. Mrs. Rawlings fidgeted about, and her round eyes, which hitherto had rested wonderingly on Beatrice's face, were cast down, “Its no use,” she muttered, shaking her head. “Not a bit of use, Ho has set his heart on the boy. He'll say it's only a trick.” “Then Ihave yet more to say. Look at me agnin, and listen. Put yourself in my o, and realizo what ‘you compel mo to do. tell you the child is mine—it is mine. Dc You understand?” Mrs. Rawlings shook her head feebly. 4Tt is mine,” repeated Beatrice. “I am ita mother. Do T speak clearly enough? That “It is mine,” repeated Bealrice. *‘I am its mother.” boy is my son. Ibore him in marriage, but in trouble and in secrecy. Now will you or your husband dare to lay claim to him—dare to swear it belongs to you? Answer me!” “Ob, dear! O, dear, dear!” ejaculated Mrs, Rawlings. Beatrice's faco was pale as deathi, She breathed quickly, os ono in pain., Now, that her hand was forced, now that the guarded socret of her lifo was wrested from her, sho scemed to speal liko one who, having told the worst, cares little what follow “Savo myself and one other no one knows ofits birth.

Mrs, Raw- lings clasped her plump hands together; tho tears streamed down her che: In spite of years of practico in plaiting up those myste- vicus white integuments whose fanciful shapes adorn shops where pork is sold, the worthy woman was still humane at heart, #0h, my poor young lady!

Mrs. Rawlings looked rather contused. “I can't help belleving, miss, that the poor little fellow was drowned and nevor found. But Rawlings he won't havoitso, Hosays ho was stolon and wo shall find him somo day.” After this Miss Clauson thanked ber hostess with grave dignity. Then shedropped her veil and attended by Mrs. Rawlings went back to the cab end Sylvanus. Sho had gained her end, but at a price only known o berself. What it had cost her o roveal the secret of her lifa to that strange woman can scarcely bo over estimated. Such was her feeling of dogradation that she almost wished that her uncles had boen in the room when yesterday sho went with tho child in her hand to tell them what she had to<lay told Mrs, Rawlings. “And after all,” she mur- mured with a bitter smile on her face, ‘it is but staving off the crash which must come sooner or later.” Here she sighed involun- tarily. Mordle's quick ear caught thosound. ‘‘Nothing unpleasant happeaed, I hopet” ho ulml. “My businioss was ot of tho pleasantest nature, but I accomplished it successfully,’ replicd Beat Ho said no more. By her desire sho was set down at ono of the principal shops in Blacktown, an emporium of articles of femi- nine need into which Mordlo could not ven- ture to accompany her, She thanked him for his services, and he knew that those thanks were a dismissal.

But had Sylvanus Mordle, who spent the ovening with them, committed a breach o) faith and mentioned his_excursion with Mise Clauson, the brothers might have suspected they had credited their niece with a quality to which she had no title. CHAPTER XVIIL THE SWEETS OF LIBERTY, “0 Liberty! thou goddess heavenly bright! Profuse of bliss and pregnant with delight.” Every bard has sung the joys o Liberty; every writer has said_his say upon her glories. Patriots have died for her, and statesmen—modern ones especially—have made her a convenient stalking horse. The subject being such a stock one, and apt quotations 6o plentiful, there is no need tc dilate upon the frame of mind in which Mrs. Miller’s acquaintance, Mr. Maurico Hervey, late No. 1080, found himself, when Portland on at length discontinued its ungrudging and. machinelike hospitality and restored him to the outer world, a free man save for the formality of once a monthreporting him- solf to the police, and that general suspicious surveillance which is so irksome to the usually modest and retiring nature of & ticket-of-leave man. The “goddess heavenly bright” showed her face, the first timo for some years, to Mau rica Hervey on tho very day when Mise Clauson and Sylvanus Mordle went to Black- town, Mrs. Miller, who had manifested so keer an intercst in the felon’s enlodgement, ro mained in completo ignorance of the Lappy event, 'Thiswasdue to no omission on hei part. Sho had written twice to the governo of Portland, begging that the date of the convicet’s release might be made known tc her. The letters were dated not from Oak- bury, but from some placoin London. The first letter was duly acknowleaged, and the information vouchsafed that tho date could not be exactly fixed. To the second letter she rocelved noreply. The reason for such apparent discourtesy was this The day of tho man’s emancipation was drawing very near, 5o ho was told that his friend bad written, and ho was nasked if he hed to be sent to London to mect her. He cast down his eyes and in a respectful Way stated that ho was sorry to say (hat he attributed his present shameful position to certain evil counsel which the writer had given him, and which ho had followed. He did wish to bosent to London, but would rather avoid this woman than geek he After this avowal Mrs, Miller’s letter re mained unanswered. He war an educated villain, who had been seatenced tofive years' penal servitudo for uttering forged bills, Like mostsuch men, whoare sent into seclusion for the good of the community, Maurice Hervey was ablo to realize, withou such severe treatment as was needed to convince the Apostle Paul, that kicking against pricks is foolishness. Hohad been ordered to pay a certain debt. Misl .oavior meant that the dLM‘. would be exacted to the uttermost farthing; whereas good conduct would in time ll;:htbn the obli- gaion and induco his creditor to accept a bandsome composition, 8o he did to the best of his ability such work as was al- lotted to him. He was too clever to attempt tho elbow-worn trick of intere the chaplain by a pretended convers He gely reflected that chaplains must by this timo havo grown wide aw: But ho wore a contented, inoffensive look, spoke civilly to Lis jailers, complained of nothing, and gave ble. It wasonly in the seclusion of cumscribed cell of corrugated iron that No. 1080 scowled, grated his tecth and clenched his hands. It was only there that while his heart craved for personal freedom Lis lips noiselessly framed bitter curses and vows of vengeauce, o it is that if upon his return to freedom Mr, Hervey had given his experiences of penal servitudo to the daily papers, his de- scription of the punishment of bread and water diet, dark cells, and that humiliating exercise with the crank known as “gried ing thoe air’ would have had no first-hand valuo, Beforo leaving Portland ho was told {hat tho “Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Socioty” wonld doubtless do something for him. Ha oxpressed his gratitude for tho information, Lub a isuso his right wout difficuity. He had been an artist, ad could again pursuo that creft under a now no, During his deteation he bad given Lis janitors proof of his graphic abili- tes by tho graving of ry slates with complicated and notinartistic desigus, Theso W t are still shown to visitors to the Dricen aa chriceitios 80, prectically a froe man, Maurice Her- vey stood in the strestsof London at 4 o'clack onthasecond day of the new year. There was littlo abous him to attr attent.on, By a meveiful and sensible dispensation, dur g tho threo months prior to Lis emancipa- tion a conviet's hair is left to nature, so tha in these days of wilitary crops Mr. Hervey' head, which wo longer resembled o Fitaroy izs of & stormdrum, was not a signal of danger, The suit of clothes which replaced the durable prison dress was rough and ill-fittitg, but not such as to create remark. In Losdon that night there must have boen hundredsof thousands of respectable men who Ieoked neither better nor worse than Maurice Her- vey. Freeat last! Free to turn where ho liked, and, within the limits of the law, do as he n splondid health; fn the prime of Freo to redeem or eancel tho past ost work, or by dishonesty sink lower and lower in the future. In hix pocket the sum of five pounds soventeen shillings and sixpence, the result of years of self-enforced good_conduct and unavoidable lrard labor. The fingering of this money gave him a new, or at least awoke a dormaat sensation, It was more than four years since his hands had touched a coin of tho realm. Think of that and realize what penal servitudo mo: Tho first use he made of his liberty and money was characteristic, and I foar may swaken indulgent sympathy in the mindsot the majority of man- (not woman) kind Ho went, into a tobacconist's and bought a ninepenny cigar, Ho it it, sat down upon achair in the shop and for somo minutes smoked in blissful, contented silence, Tho shopkeeper eyod his customer narrowly. Iis general appearance, especially tho look of his hands, did nob seem compatible with what tho tradesman called a_“ninepenn: smoko gent.” Hervey caught tho man's cyes fixed on his hands. He himself glanced at them with a Jook of disgust anda muttered curs Years of turf-carrying and diggingand del ing for Portland stone play havoo witha gentloman's hands, Hervoy's nails wero broken, blunted and stunted; his fingers wero thickened and hardened.

A luxurious dog this convict! Ho engaged a bedroom. Ho ordered & dinner of which even Horace and Herbert might have approved. He rang for hot water, and spent half an hour soaking his bardened and disfigured hands, He scowled as he realized the painful fact that hundreds of gallons of hot water and mouths of time must be expended before these badly-used members in any way resumed their original appearance. Then, without a shilling in his pocket, he went to his dinner, with which he no doubt n of his ex Then without a shilling in his pocket hs went to his dinner. drank a bottlo of champagne.
