To all Inquiries which wwc many, Ida answer was the oattM-q: “He dleobeyed mo, and I sent him away.” What had la-come of the tad he did not know. He hud kept Ilia word, and the satisfaction thus derived was y strong enough to silence his conscience -at Icuat, soil a pja at red. 11. Seven months had (smsed. It was tlie last day of tlie Leeds Winter as sizes. Silas Murston hail been sum moned on 11m- Jury. The last ease on the calendar was oim> of forgery. The clerk called out the name of "Joseph Taylor,” and the Jailer brought up his prisoner, a lad of seventeen, poorly clad, and upisuvntly half-starved. He trembh-d as lie stepped to the front of tlie dock, and IiIm face, us In- glanced furtively about, was deathly pule. Suddenly, as Ills gaze rested on (In jury Ikix, he staggered, clutched at the dock railings and dung convul sively, while his face alternately paled and crimsoned. So he remained, with his eyi-s cast down. Had a curious spectator Iteen wutell ing Silas Murston closely lie might have noon that Juryman's cold eves dilute, aiul Ills mouth part slightly, while an ashen palltu* overspread Ids features. Hut those signs of agitation were only momentary. Recovering himself In nn Instant, Silas folded his arms and, leaning tank, stared at the boy with stony eyes that revealed no luterest whatever. Doubtless It was a great victory. Counsel for the prosecution opened the case against Ihe wretched lad. I The aocnoad. he said, had ls>eu In the r employment Of Messrs. Clifford and Rica as errand boy; it was also his duty to sweep up the <smntlng.house. A forged check for 175.
