CHAPTER XL Continued
What have I done to deserve such
happiness he asked himself But
just as it happens that at the moment
when our passionate joy becomes con
scious of itself we find some dark
misgivings creep over us of evil about
to befall so the bounding gladsome
ness of Michael Sunlocks was followed
by a chill dread that he tried to put
aside and could not
It was at that moment that the
Xangmann entered the room He was
very tall and light and had a large
head that drooped like a daffodil His
dress was poor he was short sighted
growing elderly and silent of manner
Nothing in his appearance or bearing
would have suggested that he had any
Iiride of his place as Judge of the is
land He was a bookwork a student
a scholar and learned in the old sagas
and eddas
Langmann said Michael Sunlocks
with simple deference I have sent
for you on a subject of some moment
to myself
Name it said the Judge
During my absence a man has been
tried and condemned by the Bishops
court for threatening my life said
Michael Sunlocks
Jason the son of Stephen Orry and
Rachel daughter of the late Governor-General
Jorgensen said the
Judge
That is he and I want you to give
one an opinion respecting him said
Michael Sunlocks
Gladly said the Judge
He was sent to the Sulphur Mines
said Michael Sunlocks
For six months certain said the
Judge
Can we recall him and have him
tried afresh by the Court of the Quar
ter or the High Court of Justice
eaid Michael Sunlocks
Too late for that said the Judge
A higher court if it had condemned
at all might certainly have given him
a longer punishment but his sentence
of six months is coupled with a con
dition that he shall hereafter take aa
oath of peace towards you So have
210 fear of him
I have none at all said Michael
iSunlocks as my next question will
show
What is it said the Judge
Can I pardon him said Michael
Sunlocks
For a moment the langmann was
startled out of his placid manner but
recovering his composure he answered
Yes a President has sovereign pow
ers of pardon
Then Langmann said Michael
Sunlocks will you see the needful
papers drawn for my signature
Surely said the Judge But
first will you pardon me he added
with a shadow of a smile
Say what you please Langmann
said Michael Sunlocks
It is possible that you do not know
the nature of the evidence given at
tie trial said the Judge
I think I do said Michael Sun
locks
That this man claims to be your
half brother
He is my brother
That he thinks you have stood in
his place
I I have stood in his place
That he is jealous of you and in
his madness has vowed to slay you
1 His jealousy is natural and his
vow I do not dread
The cold manner Hangman paused a
moment wiped his short sighted eyes
with his red print handkerchief and
then said in a husky voice This is
very noble of you Ill go at once for
the document
He had only just gone from the
room when Greeba returned to it She
ihad tried too long to conquer her agi
tation and could not and now with
wide eyes and a look of fear in them
she hastened back to her husband the
moment the Langmann had left him
Michael she cried what has the
Langmann gone for
For a form of pardon he an
swered
Pardon for that man she asked
Even so he said and I have
promised to sign it
Oh Michael my love my dear
kind Michael she cried in a pitiful
voice of entreaty dont do it dont I
pray of you dont bring that man
back
Why Greeba what is this said
IMichael Sunlocks What is it trou
bles my little woman
Dear Michael she cried once more
for your own sake think again before
you sisn that pardon
Ah I see said he my darling
ihas been all unstrung by this ugly
ibusiness Yes and now I remember
What they told me down at Smoky
Point It was my love herself that
gave the poor lad up to justice That
iwas very brave of my darling for
lber husband bless her dear heart was
before all the world to her Ah yes
1 know that all her love is mine her
ilove is first and last with her as with
all warm nature But she must not
fear for me No she must not worry
but go back like a dear soul and leave
this matter to me
Michael my dear noble Michael
I have something to say will you not
hear me
No no no he answered
Not for a moment I have set my
heart on telling you
Not for one little moment But if
you have set your heart on anything
else then my darling just think of
it double whatever It is and it is
yours already
But why may I not speak of this
pardon
Because though I have never set
eyes upon this poor man I know more
about him than my darling can ever
know and because it is natural that
lier sweet little iheart that is as brave
as a lion for herself but as timid as
a fawn for me should exaggerate my

peril So now no more words about
it but go go
She was about to obey when the
maid came to say that dinner was
ready And then with a little shout
of Michael Sunlocks threw down
his papers encircled his arm about
Greebas waist and drew her along
laughing with her smiles fighting
their way through her tears
During the dinner he talked con
stantly of the dangers and trials and
amusing mischances of his voyage
laughing at them all now they were
over and laughing at Greeba too for
the woeful face with which she heard
them And when they rose from the
table he called on her for another
song and she sat at the harpsichord
and sang though something was
swelling in her throat and often her
heart was in her mouth But he
recked nothing of this and only
laughed when her sweet voice failed
her and filled up the breaks with his
own rich tones
In the midst of the singing the
maid came in and said something
which Michael Sunlocks did not catch
for it was drowned to his ear by the
gladsome uproar that he himself was
making but Greeba heard it and
stopped playing and presently the
Lagmann entered the room
A good thing is no worse for be
ing done betimes said the judge so
here is the pardon ready to your hand
for signature
And with thai he handed a paper
to Michael Sunlocks who said with
cheer Youre right Lagmann youre
right and my wife will give you a
glass of wine while I write you my
name
A cup of coffee if you are taking
it said the judge with a bow to
Greeba who saw nothing of it for
her eyes were following her husband
Michael she said I beseech you
not to sign that paper Only give
way to me this once I have mever
asked you before and I will never
ask you again I am in earnest Mi
chael dear and if you will not yield
to me for your own sake yield to me
for mine
How is this How grave we are
said Michael Sunlocks pausing with
pen in hand
I know I have no right to med
dle in such matters but dear Mi
chael dont sign that pardon dont
bring that man back I beseech you
I beg of you
This is very strange said Michael
Sunlocks
It is also very simple said the
judge bringing his red handkerchief
up to his dim eyes again
What said Michael Sunlocks
Greeba you do not know this man
this Jason
Greeba hesitated a moment and
glanced at the Lagmann
You dont know him repeated Mi
chael Sunlocks
She was sorely tempted and she
fell For my husbands sake she
thought and then with a prayer for
pardon she lifted her ihead and said
falteringly No no why no of
course not
Michael Sunlocks was satisfied
Why no of course not he echoed
laughing a little and then he dipped
his quill in the ink horn
But I beseech you again do not
bring that man back she cried
There was a painful pauL e and to
cover it the Lagmann said Your
husband is a brave hearted man who
does not know the name of fear
And then Michael Sunlocks said I
will ask your pardon Lagmann while
I step into the next room with my
wife I have something to tell her
Come Greeba come Ill leave the
document with you for the present
Lagmann he added over his shoul
der as he passed out Greeba walked
beside him with downcast eyes like
a guilty thing condemned
Now love he said when they
were alone it is sweet and beautiful
of you to think so much of me but
there is something that you do not
know and I ought to tell you Maybe
I hinted at it in my letter but there
has never been a chance to explain
Have you heard that this Jason is my
brother
Yes said Greeba faintly
It is true said Michael Sunlocks
And you know that when I first came
to Iceland it was not to join the Lat
in school but on an errand of mercy
Yes said Greeba
Well the first of my duties was
to find Jasons mother and the next
was to find Jason himself
Jason cried Greeba
Yes it was my father who sent me
for they had suffered much through
his great fault God forgive him and
I was to succor them in their distress
You know what followed
Yes said Greeba softly
I came too late for the mother
the good woman was in her grave
I could not light UDon her son and
lent an ear to the idle story that he
was dead also My search ceased my
zeal flagged and putting aside the
solemn promise I made my father I
went on with my own affairs But I
never believed that he was dead and
I felt I should live to meet with him
yet
Oh oh cried Greeba
And many a time since my con
science has reproached me with a mis
sion unfulfilled and awakening from
many a dream of the hour and the
place wherein I pledged my word to
him that died trusting me loving me
doting om me heaven pity him bad
man though he was as never a son
was loved by a father before it has
not apeased me to say to myself Mi
chael while vyou are here given up
to your ambitions he is there amid
the perils and hardships of the sea
and lie is your brother and the only
kinsman left to you in the wide
world
Greeba was sobbing by this time
And now my darling you know
all and why I wish to sign this par
don Could I ever know a moments
happiness with my brother slaving
like a beast at yonder mines What
if he is jealous of me and if his jeal
ousy had driven him to madness
sane he shall not be punished for my
sake So -dearest love my darline
dry your beautiful eyes and let me
ease you conscience the only way I
may for I have no fear and my wife
must have none
Sunlocks said Greeba you have
made me ashamed I am no fit wife
for a man like you I am too little
hearted Oh why did I ever come
Why Why And she wept as if her
heart would break He comforted her
with tender potests enfolding her in
his arms and caressing her lovely
head
Tell me he whispered nay there
hide your face in my breast There
there tell me now tell me all
Sunlocks she said drawing back
I have lied to you
Lied
When I told you I had not known
Jason I told you what was false
Then you have known him
Yes I knew him in the Isle of
Man
The Isle of Man
He lived there nearly five years
All the time he was away
Yes he landed the night you sailed
You crossed him on the sea
Greeba why did he go there Yet
how should you know
I do know Michael it was to ful
fil his vow his vow that theoldpriest
spoke of in court his wicked vow of
vengeance
On my father
On your father and on you
God in heaven cried Michael
Sunlocks with great awe And that
very night my father was saved from
his own son by death
It was he who saved your father
from the sea
Wait said Michael Sunlocks did
you know of this vow before you ac
cused him of an attempt upon me

FORMER WAGERS
Odd Slakes Risked on elections Hold In
the Fast
Some queer election bets have been
made in the past When George Fran
cis Train the eccentric lived in Oma
ha some years ago at the time when
he was prominent in the building of
the Union Pacific railroad it came to
pass that an election was scheduled
Mr Train thought he knew how the
election was going and to prove his
courage made a wager that if his man
was beaten he would wear a duck suit
all the year round Mr Twains guess
was bad and he lost He lived up to
the letter of the bet however and for
a whole winter one of those Omaha
winters too in which the thermometer
takes sudden and unexpected dips to
far below zero and blizzards come
along over night and freeze everything
that is not actually on fire he wore
white duck There were those who
said he violated the spirit of the bet by
wearing half a dozen suits of under
clothing under his white duck But
Mr Train could stand criticism better
than he could stand an attack of pneu
monia and refused to abandon his
warm underclothing They tell another
story of an election bet in the blizzard
country It is to the effect that in
1888 Ezekiel Timrock of Hunnewell
Kan made a bet in these terms If
Cleveland was defeated he would join
the church Timrock was a gentleman
with a reputation as a tough and a
bad man generally He had long scorn
ed religion and cursed religionists So
his bet was a heavy one Well he
lost There were many who thought
he would back out and compromise by
giving the winner a big farm or some
thing of that kind But he didnt He
made application for membership in
the church It so happened however
that the deacons knew of the bet and
his application was blackballed Tim
rock thought this released him but
the man who held the other end of
the wager insisted that he had not
paid up Timrock considered that he
was insulted and promptly there was
a shooting match Both were equally
quick on the trigger and both were
equally good shots and the result was
the death of both parties The coroner
summoned a jury and when the in
quest was over a verdict holding the
church responsible because it rejected
Timrocks application was returned
Puttee Paralysis
In soldiers invalided home from the
Boer war a new disease has been dis
covered to which the doctors have
given the name of puttee paralysis
Instead of wearing leggins in South
Africa many officers and soldiers wore
strips of cloth called puttees wound
around the lower leg These being
bound tight seem in some cases to
have pressed upon certain nerves and
when the men became weak from
fever a paralysis of the feet and toes
resulted At first the disease was call
ed enteric feet as it generally ap
peared in men who were recovering
fromenteric or typhoid fever Upon
investigation however it was found
that the primary cause of the disease
was the puttAi so it became puttee
paralysis
The long marches the tense move
ments of the legs especially when in
fantry soldiers were mounted and the
uneven pressure of the puttees caused
such a condition of thing the disease
could easily be accounted for Here
after leggins will probably never be
abandoned for putties New York

i Commoner Comment
f Extracts From W J Bryans Paper
A SAMPLE OF HARMONY
It is fortunate for the democracy of
the nation that at the very beginning
of the fight the reorganized furnish a
sample of the harmony which they
recommend to the party at large St
Louis the chief city of one of the great
democratic states Is chosen as the
theatre for the exhibition of this model
reconciliation A mayor is to be chos
en who will hold office during the
worlds fair and certain men who did
not think it important that the na
tion should have a democratic presi
dent are convinced that it is a mat
ter of paramount Importance that St
Louis should have a democratic mayor
ut course it was thought necessary
that so important an office at so im
portant a time should be filled by a
man of eminent respectability but
it is strange that among the many
thousands in St Louis who are In the
habit of voting the democratic ticket
not one could be found who measured
up to the standard set by the reorgan
izes
Mr Rolla Wells the gentleman who
was nominated by the democratic city
convention renounced his allegiance
to the democratic party in 1896 and
resigned the presidency of the St
Louis democratic club He actively
co operated with the bolting contin
gent who supported the republican
ticket that year and in 1898 he open
ly opposed the democratic candidate
for congress in his district In 1900
his influence was given to the republi
can national ticket and he has not
since that time returned to the demo
cratic principles as set forth in the
party platform
The resolutions adopted by the lo
cal convention which nominated him
include an indorsement of the funda
mental principles of democracy but
Mr Wells if elected will be able to
define and construe those principles
to suit himself
Mr Wells is personally no doubt a
good man According to the Republic
Mr Carpenter of the National Lead
company a republican gives Mr
Wells a certificate of good character
and Mr Walsh of the Terminal Rail
road company indorses the certificate
Even the Globe Democrat cannot
withhold its testimony to his respect
ability
It may be that the situation in St
Louis is such as to make it necessary
to disregard party lines but if such is
the case the candidate should run as
a non partisan or as an independent
Mr Wells has been affectionately de
scribed by his friends as a man who
can win but what if he can win It
would not be fair to hold the demo
cratic party responsible for the ad
ministration of a man who by his own
act severed himself from his party
and repudiated its principles
A party must have principles as well
as an organization and a national con
vention is the proper body to declare
those principles If after a platform
is adopted any member cannot con
scientiously support that platform he
has a perfect right to leave the party
and no one can justly criticise his ac
tion if he is honest with himself and
with his party But a man cannot be
outside of a party and inside at the
same time Those who remain inside
the party have rights as well as those
who desert it They have a right to
insist that any one who leaves his par
ty and opposes its platform and candi
dates shall return in some open and
formal way before he can again con
sider himself a member It is not
enough that Mr Wells condescends to
accept a nomination and a chance of
election to an important office that is
merely an acceptance of a benefit from
a party which he repudiated and
spurned Before he is entitled to be
called a democrat he must in some
way manifest his willingness to ac
cept the party creed He may be will
ing to have the party accept his prin
ciples but not willing to accept the
partys principles He may think it
humiliating to return to the party but
is it not more humiliating for the par
ty to surrender to him
The democratic party showed in the
campaign of 1900 that it was ready to
welcome any returning democrat and
it Is doubtless just as ready now to ex
tend a welcome to those who opposed
the ticket in 1900 provided they ex
press a willingness to accept the prin
ciples of the party and give some evi
dence of their intention to support the
partys candidates in the future The
prodigal son is always well treated
when he sees the error of his ways and
rejoins the family but he ought not
to demand a deed to the house as a
condition precedent to his return
The nomination of Mr Wells may
in St Louis be attributed to his pri
vate character or personal merits but
outside of St Louis it is everywhere
hailed as a triumph for the reaction
ary elements of the party
The Louisville Courier Journal says
of it
This action of the party in St
Louis the democratic nomination of a
gold bug for mayor is evidence that
the process of reunion is going on It
also shows how rapidly the silver issue
is pas8ingfrom public viewin such an
extreme democratic state as Missouri
It is a mo3t auspicious indication of
the decline in party strife and the re
turn of the masses to the old leaders
under whom it was led to victory in
former years
In the campaign of 1900 the demo
cratic party stood for the Declaration
of Independence an- for industrial in
dependence as well as for financial in
dependence and the democrats of St
Louis gave loyal support to the ticket
The republican party stood for an im
President McKinley says A portion
of them Filipinos are making war
against the United States Does it
take 65000 men to subdue a portion
of the Filipinos By implication Presi
dent McKinley makes charges against
American troops that would bring
down upon his head the epithet of
copperhead if he did not happen to
be a republican
Mr McKinley expresses great con
cern for the preservation of the con
stitution Perhaps this concern ex
plains his reluctance to stretch it over
Porto Rico
perial policy and trust domination as
well as for the gold standard and Mr
Wells gave his influence to that party
The more prominent he was as a man
and the more influence he had the
more valuable was his support to the
republican ticket and the greater the
loss to the democratic cause If Mr
Wells has changed his views let him
publicly announce his conversion to
democratic principles and his sins
though they may be many will be for
given Of course if the conversion did
not occur until after he made up his
mind to seek the nomination for may
or some might doubt the sincerity of
the change but so far he has failed
to give even that much comfort to the
democrats
If Mr Wells has undergone no
change of opinion what reason is
there to doubt that he will use the in
fluence of his office to defeat demo
cratic congressmen in 1902 as he used
his individual influence to defeat dem
ocratic congressmen in 1896 1898 and
1900 Is there any reason to believe
that the environment which led him
out of the democratic party has lost
its controlling influence over him If
he is the same man that he was in
1896 1898 and 1900 official position
will simply increase his power to do
harm and weaken the party in its ef
fort to overthrow republican doctrines
Mr Wells nomination is a part of
the plan of the reorganlzers national
in its extent to capture the organiza
tion by stealth and then make the
democratic so much like the republi
can party that there will be little
choice between them
The democratic party now stands
for definite principles and it aggres
sively opposes republican policies The
Kansas City platform embodies the
principles of the party and the rank
and file of the party are attached to
those principles Those who oppose
the Kansas City platform will not
make an open fight against it even
Mr Wells would not have been willing
to risk a nomination on a platform re
pudiating the Kansas City platform
but under the pretense that success
can be won under the leadership of
the reorganlzers men are being pushed
forward for local offices who have no
sympathy with democratic principles
The election of 1894 gave some in
dication of the fate which awaits the
party if it becomes the tool of organ
ized greed and bids only for the favor
of the plutocratic element of the coun
try Democrats cannot afford to lose
sight of democratic principles in their
eagerness to secure a local victory
which when secured is nominal rath
er than real
THE FIFTY SIXTH CONGRESS
The record of the Fifty sixth con
gress is completed and it is not an en
viable one For extravagance it has
never been equaled and no previous
congress has ever shown anything like
the contempt for American principles
and traditions The republican party
in 1896 promised international bimet
alism and this congress redeemed the
promise by retiring the greenbacks and
giving the country as large a dose of
the gold standard as it thought the
patient was able to bear
It has fastened a large army upon
the United States an army larger
than the president would have been
willing to defend during the iate cam
paign
It has violated the solemn promise
made to Cuba and demanded a supervi
sion of Cuban affairs which amount to
a denial of independence
It has conferred upon the president
authority over the Philippines as un
limited as arbitrary and as tyrani
cal as George III ever exercised over
the colonies
In addition to its sins of commission
it has sins of omission to answer for
It has failed to respond to the de
mand of the wage earners for relief in
the way of shorter hours and it has
neglected to abolish government by in
junction
TthflR refused to eive the people any
relief from extortionate railroad rates
and has declined to enact anti trust
legislation although a billion dollar
trust was organized while it was in
sBSSlOU
It has repudiated the partys prom
ise in regard to the inter oceanic canal
For years the republicans advocated
the Nicaraguan canal in 1900 they
substituted an indorsement of an Isth
mian canal but the trans continental
railroad lines have sufficient influence
with the republican party to prevent
its carrying out any canal project
It has failed to recognize the desire
of the people for election of senators
by a popular vote and it would have
committed the country to the infamous
ship subsidy legislation but for the
filibustering resorted to by the demo
crats populists and silver republicans
A fifty million dollars river and har
bor bill was also defeated by a few
filibusters led by Senator Carter of
Montana
This is the record not all of it but
enough of it These things are known
to the reading public and yet republic
can farmers continue to vote the re
publican ticket republican laboring
men continue to defend theirparty and
republican business men raise no pro
test agains what is going on Great
corporate interests furnish campaign
funds dictate platforms make nomi
nations and dominate administrations
To what extreme can the republican
leaders go before they provoke remon
strance and repudiation
It will be noted that Russia is not
the first to cry for quarter in the lit
tle tariff war
In a recent number the Commoner
attention was called to the fact that
it was customary for the outgoing
president and the incoming president
to ride to the inauguration together
and as Mr Hanna was chosen to rido
with Mr McKinley the question was
asked whether Mr Hanna represented
an outgoing or incoming president
One reader suggests the answer
Both and another things that he
may be in the middle of his term
Tie leferences to plain duty in
the inaugural address are conspicuous
by their absence

officer quartermasters department to
proceed to erect necessary buildings
for guard according to plan and esti
mates you approve Colonel Charles
F Humphrey on arrival will make an
inspection of quartermasters depart
ment Philippine islands until July 1
when he will be assigned to duty as

Miller ordered to the United States
All stores and supplies not required
for legation guard to be disposed of
in your best judgment of course
Serviceable supplies needed in Philip
pine islands will be sent to Manila Di
vision of the Philippines will furnish
supplies for legation guard MacAr
thur notified CORBIN
It was said at the war department
that this clears up the Chinese situa
tion so far as the war department is
concerned as the protection of the le
gation can in no sense be taken as an
occupation of Chinese territory and
the guard cannot be used for any other
purpose
The transports Sumner and Indiana
will be sent to Taku to take the troops
in China to Manila These troops con
sist of the Ninth infantry four troops
of the Sixth cavalry and the light bat
tery formerly commanded by Captain
Reilley Two transports will bring
away the 1100 animals which have
been used by the army in China
General Chaffee has advised the de
partment that the best place of em
barkation is Taku which no doubt
will be clear of ice on the date fixed
for departure
