A Sacrifice
To Conscience

CHAPTER VI. (Continued.)
"That Ib what 1 cannot tell you,
Miss Ionnox," said Paul. Hla heart
had sunk llko load at her words, and
Kt 111 more at tho change In her volco
nnd expression. "Uut one thing I can
tell you," ho said, nftor a mlntito'B
pause "I have doubts about tho valid
ity of tho charges mndo against tho
licensed, nnd I could not conscientious
ly take up tho aide of tho prosecution
when I am moro than doubtful of the
criminal's guilt."
Cecil burst Into a laugh.
Paul felt u chill como over him as
ho heard that laugh, clour and Bllvery
as It was,
"'Oh, Just young Judge! u Danlol
como to Judgment!' " film cried, In n
tono of mockery, which hit Paul hard
In her voice. "Why, It Ib tho first tlmo
I know of a barrister being troubled
with a conscience where a brief was
concerned! My dear Mr. Enderby, you
aro going to lot all chances nllp past
you llko this? If ho, do your friends
need to look forward to tho tlmo when
you will bo n successful Queen'B Coun
sel or nsplrlng to tho Woolsack?"
"If success depends on my putting
wealth nnd ambition before honor nnd
Justlcn as an end, Miss Lennox," Paul
answered gravely, "I ccrtaluly nhall
not attain It. Hut you do not mean
what you say?" ho added, a tone of
keen pain In his volco. '
He turned to her suddenly, and look
lug Into tho beautiful, fascinating face,
a sudden wave of hot, young passion
Hwopt over him nnd ho seized her
hands.
"Cecil," ho Bald, a little hoarsely,
"for pity's ako Bay you do not moan
that! I would willingly win fumo nnd
wealth that I might win you; but even
for no precious a pil.o I cannot sacrifice
my sense of right. Tell mo, Is thero
nny hope for mo, even It I do not at
tain such success as you dream of?"
For a moment thero waa Bllcncc
a silence during which Endorby's heart
bent with almost sickening speed. Ho
dared not look Into her beautiful face.
If ho had done so, ho would havo cen
an expression that would havo chilled
the warm passion In his volco.
At Inst she said, almost In a whis
per, though they woro in u deserted
corner of tho room, with no ono noar:
"Paul, I havo always looked forward
to your BUccosH, because becauso I
wished it to bo also mine. Shall wo
mnko a compnet 'twlxt us twain, aa
Scotch people say? It you uudertako
this caso with my father, and tho case
Is won, wo Hhnll take future Biiccessoa
as granted, and you will win that
prlzo you speak of."
Endcrby'B face paled, and his throat
swelled, his pulses beat with tho wild,
strong pulsations of victory. He had
Just dared to hopo for this great prlzo,
and now, lo, It was almost wltfyln bin
bunds! Almost! for nothing stood bo
twoon him nnd It but this wretched
man, who might bo dying, or might bo
Insane, for anything he know, and his
daughter. Nothing but a hulf-formed
belief in tho Inuocanco of a criminal
whoso caso ho hnd not investigated.
And all his future happiness was at
stake.
Sudonly, as Paul Enderby hesitated,
thoro enmo to his memory tho words
ho had heard chanted in tho gray old
abbey last night:
"Ho that hath not taken rownrd
against the Innocent.... though It woro
to IiIb own hindrance-."
Ho turned towards Cecil, the Hush
gono out of his face, his lips suddenly
grave nnd set.
"You do not nsk mo to do this
thing, Cecil to sell my soul for your
lovo?"
Her rlpo red lips curved themselves
ns It Into it lnugh, then became
steady, and, bending a llttlo nearer to
him, alio whispered:
"Would you not give up anything on
earth for my lovo, Paul?"
Somehow, tho whlspor, meant to
tompt him beyond loslstanco, was tho
means of strengthening tho manhood
and uprightness of Paul Enderby. For
ono moment only one -that strango
revulsion of feeling which sometimes
comes to a man in Ills lovo for a wom
an, enmo ovor him. He folt us if tho
beautiful girl ho hnd loved so passion
ately hud undergone somo such change
ub that which the lovely Oornldluo un
derwent when
"Tho lady's eyes thoy Bhrank In hor
head
Each shrank up to n sorpent's oyo."
nnd ho saw her as a temptress, not as
the woman ho loved. Ho looked nt
her In tho face.
"Anything but manhood nnd honor,
Cecil. I should bo worthy of scorn
nnd contempt If I sold them for my
happiness, or for tho fulfilment of my
dearest earthly hopo."
For n moment Cecil ' Lennox's fair
face grow dark and evil. Sho wus ac
customed to llattory and lovo. Thoy
wero tho very life of her soul, tho
breath of hor life, Sho horself felt tor
Paul Endorby bucIi lovo ns such u
woman Is capable of; but In this mo
mont It wns changed to angry hatred.
"Very well," nho aald, all tho soft
ness gono out of her cnrosslng tones,
nnd a harsh ring In them which Endor
ly had novor heard before, "that set
tles the question for us, Mr, Enderby.

I have no doubt your decision Is a wise
one for me. And now, will you ex
cuse mo If I Hpenk to someone else? I
seo some of my friends are growing
Impntlont."
Enderby bowed nnd left her, feeling
ns If n page In his llfo hnd closed for
ever. CHAPTER VII.
It was tho next day before Enderby
was ablo to vail upon Dr. Ilunthornc.
"You aro Interested In theso people,
Enderby?" Bald the doctor, looking at
tho young man sharply.
Dr. Dunthorno was a clover man of
mlddlo ago, whom Paul had known for
many years.
"Woro you awaro tho sick man had
a doctor of his own attending him
Dr. Lyndon, whom I know" by nnmo
and report?"
"I wns nwnre of that, Dr. Uuuthorno,
though I did not mention It to you for
fear professional etiquette, of which
you doctors mnko a divinity, ahould
prevent your going. Tho truth is, I'm
afraid, Dr. Ilunthorne, what I am go
ing to say will bo held ns confiden
tial?" "Certainly! At tho snmo time, you
know, my dear Enderby, medical men
mako It a rulo never to hear anything
to each other's disadvantage?"
"More of your etiquette!" cried En
derby. "Well, I'm not going to say
anything against your brother-profos-slonnl;
I'm simply going to ask your
udvlcc."
Very briefly ho told how ho had first
mot Jnsmlno Lloyd, and then repented
tho Incident of IiIh last visit, nnd Jas
mine's statement about tho Ktrango nt
tacks to which her father had twice
succumbed.
Dr. Uuuthorno listened in silence,
and when Paul eonsod, ho asked:
"Do you happen to have this bottlo
of medicine with you?"
Enderby produced It from an lnnor
pocket, and laid It on Dr. Hunthorno's
table. It was a larglah bottle, with tho
label on which "Hypophosphntes" was
printed still upon It.
Tho doctor lifted It nnd looked at It
critically. There was a very Btnall
quantity of light-colored fluid nt tho
bottom. Tho doctor uncorked It, and
applied his nose to tho mouth,
"Seems all right," he said critically.
"However, you leave It with me, nnd I
shall have It analyzed by my own ana
lytical chemist. I don't half llko tho
business, mind you; still, as you havo
applied to me. I feel bound to satisfy
you so far. Uut. you know, thing Is
absurd. Dr. , tho mini we speak
of, hits the highest reputation?"
"What should you say Mr. Lloyd
was Buffering from?" Enderby Inter
rupted. "Well ahem! one hardly cares to
say from a (list examination. It looks
rnthor like an epileptic attack from
your description. Ho seemed all right
when I saw him. only his mind wns
wandering a bit; he evidently did not
know who or what 1 was."
"And yet when I spoko to him a few
days ago ho was perfectly sensible,
and as Hnno as you or I," said Ender
by. "Do nttucks of this kind you
speak of not affect tho mind pormu1
nently.'.' "Usually," answered tho doctor dry
ly. "Uut, of coiirec, there tiro cases or
periodical Insnnlty. I should hay this
Ib one."
Aa Paul Endeiby walked slowly
away from the doctor's West End
house, ho asked himself If perhaps ho
hud been too hasty In forming his con
clusions? Hud his Instinctive dlsllktj
of Dr. Lyndon" misled him? If David
Lloyd and the man Gerard wero ono
nnd tho sumo person as ho felt miro
thoy woro wns It not very likely that
Sir Henry Lennox's account wns tho
correct one, and that tho crime of llvo
years ago hud been committed In a lit
of temporary mentnl aberration?
Ho was very busy after that for a
day or two. A brief bud been put Into
his hands, nnd he hud to bo u good
deal with his solicitor.
lie wns glnd to be occupied just
then. It kept him from thinking of
Cecil Lennox, ns he Imagined ho
ahould do had ho much leisure. Ho
hnd boen In love with hor-of thut he
had no doubt, and ho hnd lost her'for
ever, It waa nuturnl ho Bhould feel
such a blow deeply.
And yet, when leisure did como, tho
singular thing wns that It was not
Cecil Lennox's face which enmo up In
Enderby'a mind nnd haunted him so
persistently. It was the soft, delicate
face, half-child's, hulf-womnn's. of
Jnsmlno Lloyd.
Towurds tho end of tho week he
mndo up hla mind to go and sco them.
Ho wns turning round tho, corner
which led to Uurdou Mnnslons when a
closed carriage diovo rapidly past him.
Something in tho turn-out seemed
familiar to Enderby. Ho glnnced at It,
and ns it rolled past him ho caught n
gllmpso of tho Inmate Sir Henry Len
nox, loaning buck on his cushions, his
hands Idly crossed on his knees, his
eyes upon thorn, his fnco ghastly lialo!
Could ho hayo been seeing David
Lloyd? Tho thought flashed through
Endorby'a mind, only to bo dismissed
Instantly, nut ho hurried on towards
tho block of dull gray buildings, and in
n fow minutes found himself beforo
tho Lloyds' door.
Uut Just ns ho was about to knock
there wns a sound of hurrjed steps In
side, th door flew open, and Jasmine,
pale una breathless, almost fell Into
Enderby's nrme.
"Oh, Mr. Enderby! Oh, thank God!
My father my dear father! I think
ho Ih dying!"
"No, no, my child; not that not so
bad ns that," said Enderby soothingly.
He took her hand It was trembling,
and sho herself wns slinking from head
to foot and drawing her gently with
in the house, closed tho door.
Jasmine wns not crying, but hor
breath wus coming In short, pitiful
gasps, and there waa a look of such
terrlblo fear and grief in her dark oyos
as touched Enderby strangely, feeling
of pitying tenderness took possession
of him.
"May I go to see him?" ho askod,
still holding her band.
"Yes oh, yes! Uut I nm afraid no
ono can do much for him not even a
doctor. And his mind oh, that Is tho
worst of It that Is tho worst of it!"
cried tho girl passionately, yet with
strange control ovor her voice, so that
it never rose above a whisper. '
"Ho doesn't seem to know mo and
he Bays such terrlblo things! u
They wero at tho door of tho bed
room, which stood njur. Jnsmlno went
In, -and Enderby followed her; nnd as
ho did oo he heard tho low, weak mur
mur of n volco thnt wont on talking
without cessation or alteration of tono.
Jnsmlno grasped his arm, uttering a
llttlo cry under her breath.
"Look! look! Oh, ho Is looking at
you!"
"Tho Blck man had suddenly risen
In bed. His ghastly face, hollow
cheeked and sunken-eyed, was turned
to the door; in the dim eyes thero was
a strange flash of fire. Ho raised a
thin, slinking linger, nnd pointed It
nt Enderby.
"Yes, It wan for her sake I did It.
Hal and for yours! Oh, God, to
think whnt I have suffered all these
yeara for your sakes! And now I am
como back, this Is how you treat rael
Hal, Hal! old friend, mate of other
days, whom I loved and wns proud of
because you were getting on bo well,
and I I knew I had helped you-yot
how did you repay me? And my
child my little Jasmine, my llttlo ono
will you bring this shame on hor
head? Oh, God. most merciful, In
His name, Hal, you will do It you
will!"
Ho fell buck on his pillows with a
moan, nnd his eyes closed. Jasmine,
n sob bursting from her lips, sprang
forward; but Enderby was before hor.
He bent over tho sick mnn.
"No, no; thnnk God, he lives yet!
Have you anything to give him to
strengthen him? A llttlo wlno or
brandy?"
"I have Doctor Lyndon's medicines,
but I dare not give him nny," whisp
ered tho girl, In an agonized tone. "Ho
took the medicine Doctor Lyndon
gave It to him when I was out and I
am Hiiro that has hurt him. Tell me
whnt I shall do."
"Stay with him, and I shall run out
myself for something,"' snld Enderby
hurriedly, nnd bo was Just about to do
so whon the sick mnn suddenly opened
his eyes, nnd fixed thorn on Enderby's
face. Then, with a great effort, ho
raised himself onco moro on his pil
low, and spoko In a changed voice,
alow and deliberate, yet with a certain
determination in it. His eyes were
fixed on Enderby's face, and the lat
ter felt n strange thrill, so like did
It seem as though tho words wero
actually spoken to him.
"Then there is only ono thing for
mo to do, nnd I will do It, Hal, for ray
child's sake. I must tell the whole
truth, and 1 can do bo. I havo tho
proof the proof!"
Once moro he fell back In bed, his
eyeB closed. Enderby felt his pulso.
It bent pretty regularly, though feebly
and slowly.

A KINO'S WIFE.

Selecting n wife for a king is as dif

In some Instances It has been carried
out In much tho same mnnfier. When
Henry VII. of England meditated es
pousing thu princess of Naples ho sent
threo commissioners to cxnmlno nnd
report on her attract Ioub and qualifica

The envoys wero instructed to study
the bnblts and churnctor of the prin

lungs and to note her personal uppear
ance, with especlnl reference to tho
color of her hair nnd the shape of hor
nose. Thoy porformed tholr duty with
Bcrupulous fidelity and made a detail
ed report. "Tho nose of tho princess,"
thoy wrote, "has a little olovntlou In
the mlddlo of its length, from which
point It bends down townrd her lips,
as If It wero seeking to kiss them."
Doing permitted to kiss her hand thoy
utilized the occasion to study thnt

tho princess, llko n rose, exhaled only
her own fragrance. Her disposition
appeared to them to be a happy com

Uut notwithstanding this pleasing
description tho king did not marry

A Georgetown, Ky,, October ! dis
patch nays: A remarkable scenu oc
curred tonight in the Youtsey trial,
the defendant himself being' the chief
participant. Thu court room was
crowded at thu tlmo and the excite
ment wus intense. Lee Armstrong,
the Louisville detective, had Just told
of his talks with Youtsey, beforo and
after his arrest. Th en Arthur Goebel
was put on tho stand aud Judge Wil
liams, who for the first time appeared
for the prosecution, did the question
ing. Arthur Goebel said: "I talked with
Youtsey the day ho was urrested lute
in the afternoon In the jail at Frank
fort in reference to the murder of my
brother."
Just at this point Yoiitsey arose nnd
in a loud voce said:
"It Is untrue; Its u He; I never
spoko a word to that man in my llfo,
nor he to me."
Itofuim lo bo (julnt.
Colonel Crawford told him to bequict
and sit down, and others took hold of
him.
"I will not sit down. 1 never said a
word to thnt man; It Is untrue."
He was shoutlu.? by this time and
everyone was on tho tiptoo of excite
ment. Youtsoy's wife sprang v his
side and while endeavoring to make
him sit down could bu hoard saying:
"Now you have killed my husband,
I suppose you uro satisfied."
Then Youtsey shouted again:
"I am innocent; there is no blood on
my bauds. The men aro swearing my
life away."
Two or three deputies went over and
grabbed hint. He struggled wildly
nnd said:
"Let me alone; 1 will not sit down."
Finally, after Youtsey was forced
into a seat ho shouted again: .
"Goebel is not dead; all the demons
in hell could not kill him."
.ImlKP Or.lorml Mini H I'l'IrufTjtl
"Mr. Sheriff, if the defendant does
not behave himsslf put handcuffs on
him," said Judge Cautrill. Mean
while quiet wus restored. Youtsey
settled back In his chair, closed his
eyes and seemed in a state of col
lapse. Ho waved his handkerchief
above ills bead aud groaned and cried
hysterically. After quiet wus re
stored Judge Williams nsked Arthur
Goebel another question, when Colo
nel Crawford asked a postponement
of the trial till tomorrow on account
of tho defendant's condition. Judge
Cautrill theu postponed the court.
After thti drowd passed out Jailor
Hoed and his 'deputies curried Yout
sey to tho jail, us ho wus unable to
wane, various reubons arc assigned
for his. unseemly outbreak, the llrst
being that his long confinement and
the strain of tho trial caused him to
lose control of himself. Another Is
that he Is rcallv demented as shown
by his remark that Goebel was not
dead. He Is being attended by physi
cians nnd relatives at the jail and his
condition is deemed critical.
