A PLEASANT TRAGEDY.
The Gentlemen's Magazine : The
Rilcnco in the wood was so unbroken that
the falling of a leaf made a perceptible
Bound , or at least the gentle severance of
it from its hold upon the bough did. The
birds wcro perfectly still , as they often
are late in the afternoons of autumn ,
and a solemn quietude , which was yet
not peace , reigned over the world of na
I ture. The rays of the low sun came
stealing through the drooping branches ,
and lighted up the trunks of the pine
'trees with a ruddy glare.
, A woman who was gathering twigs
into her apron , came out of tlio gloom of
the wood , aud stood for a while in ono of
j the open spaces a space where there
1 was i\ pool , formed by the damming back
. of a small runner. She looked down at
the water , which had caught the evening
I glow upon its stagnant surface ; and up
I at the light upon the trees. Then she
.cast her eves upon the bundle of sticks
she was carrying , as though de
termined to avoid some unpleasant yet
facinating sight. Suddenly she gave a
tcry of horror nnd digust , aud let her
apron drop , and the sticks which wore in
it fall to the ground. Directly after she
laughed out , and the laugh was not a
pleasant ono to hear. Lifting one of the
twigs she examined it curiously. It had
growing upon it ono of these brilliantly
Colored fungi which are so frequently
men in damp parts of plantations , and
IJprobably under some special kind of
( frees. This ono was tinted with n vivid
crimson , and had exactly the appearance
| ) f great clot of blood.
After she saw what it really was , the
jirotnan raised her head , and looked
Straight before her at the dull red water
and the dull red sunset.
"It's no manner of use , " she muttered
.in a tone of sullen despair ; "they're all
Ipf ono color , look where I like I Am I
[ going mad , or is it that the devil's at
work , holding it before mo forever , to get
iBfte used to the sight of it ? "
She was a grand looking woman ot
live or six and twenty , with a sort of
-.Statuesque beauty of line and contour ;
* Ut she appeared thin and Ill-nourished ,
trier complexion bad the pallor of semi-
starvation , and her brown eyes had that
[ Wolfish glare in thorn that one sees in a
imgod or underfed wild creature. She
leathered her sticks together again , and
Vajkcd steadily on to the outskirts of the
.Wood , where the cottage in which she
lived was situated.
Her husband was overman at the col
liery whoso tall chimney and skeleton
framework and pulleys showed dark
gainst the sunset sky ; and this cottage ,
on the outskirts of the long , straggling
Tillage street , was one of the perqui
sites appertaining to his position.
The woman lifted the latch and entered ,
When she at once gave an exclamation of
pleased surprise.
"Why. Bill , I thought yo were at work
to-day t" she said , as she hastened to the
fireside and throw down her bnrden of
twigs , which were presently placed in
the oven to dry. Unlike most of the pit-
men's wives , whoso fires never need
kindling , because fuel was free , and
therefore they were never allowed to die
out , Mrs. Felton. required wood as well as
coals. She was of south country origin ,
and never learnt the knack of 'tapping
up and beating down , " so as to keep a
lire smouldering from night to morning ,
a tha rest did. The yonng fellow who
was sitting by the lire gave her no greet
ing , saro an unintelligible murmur ; but
he scanned her earnestly from head to
foot , and bis eyes rested longest upon a
big purple bruise which showed on the
pallor of her temple , just where the rip
pling waves of her dark ; red hair ended.
Slowly a'flush crept over his own face ,
nd his fist clenched itself Involuntarily.
He Jerked out an exclamation of anger
nd pity combined , and then turned
war with a sigh.
The woman took a low stool from the
opposite corner , and sat down close bo-
ido him , first displacing and driving
way with no gentle hand a couple of
leek greyhounds. These animals re
treated growling , and sought refuge
under a big four-post bedstead which
teed against tbo furthest wall.
"Be elf , yon brutes ! " she said angrily.
"You won't got everything you want
When he's out of the way ! 1 hate the
very sight of them , Bill , with their glossy
ftkms , and their snaky heads , and their
bodies that swallow decent folks' dinners ,
nd never look a bit the bettor for it. "
"Yo'ro tirnd , Judith , lass , or yo
Wouldn't bo HO cross , " Ho spoke * with
wo ordinary Northumbrian burr ana
drawl , but the accent of the woman
Whom bo called Judith was remarkably
pure. She bad. in fact , boon lady's-
knald to 'Squire Riddel's young wife , and
had been little more than two years in
the north when she fell in love with the
gploudtd animal , Dick Folton. and mar
ried him1 splto of every warning she re
ceived as to his dissolute habits and
brutal temper. There was an element in
the beautiful woman's nature to which
Dick's big , robust physique appealed ir-
rislstablf ; and for a short while after
marriage she was perfectly satlstlod with
what the village folks called her "bad
bargain. " But before long she awoke to
the fact that she had given herself , body
nd soul , into too power of a creature
With the licentiousness of a Tiberius ana
ad the cruelty of a Nero ; a tyrant who
wanted no wife , no companion , but
merely a slave whom he could torture
d ill-lisa at will.
For a year and a half she had borne
worse usage than , perhaps , over fell to a
'young wife's lot before ; and her master
? ; and tyrant fancied that her spirit was
if eubducd and her will conquered , and
flattered himself that she was now well
broken in. But & sullen , silent rebellion
was working and fermenting within her
till tbo while , and there was no knowing
how soon it might break forth.
ThB ono gleam of comfort in her mol-
ncholylot was the quietly persistent
kindness and sympathy shown to her by
Bill Felton , the naif-brother of her hus
band. This boy who was a couple of
her junior , and who , bccauio of his
Jeara health , and steady , studious
habits , was looked upon as little bettor
* tkan an idiot by big liok ) was Judith's
tole confidant and friend. The wqnion
of the place shunned her as an alien , and
declined to pltv her , because she never
Ten gosslpped or complained , but held
kerself proudly aloof , and suffered In
Uence. Sho. understood the difference
between pity and curiosity.and preferred

mr an object for their contoraptuou s'com-
"BUI with BUI It was different ! He was
one of the family , and there WPS no need
0 wear the mask before him. llill knew
perfectly well wlmt n brute Dick was.nnd
) lticd ny woman who had given herself
nto such vllo keeping. The lad began
) } being Intensely sorry for her loneli
ness nntl her misery , and trying to patch
up a peace between the ill-matrhed
couple ; and when this attempt failed ho
did his best to soflrn her hard lot by gir-

sympathy. Mnny a time ho has gouo

MIO for Jinllth. llo brought any of his
jooks which he fancied might interest
icr , nnd read them aloud during thu
oug hours of her waiting , while Dick
was drinking himself stupid or malicious
or gambling away his fortnight's pay.
And nioro than once the prcscnco of the
young man had saved the woman from
rlolence on her husband's return. Some
times hoth thcso watchers nnd waiters
Fell too Bad and hopeless to talk , and at
nich periods they would sit a whole even-
ng without a word passing between
thoin : but the very consciousness of each
other's presence , the dumb , quint com-
rmnionship , wat > soothing , nnd kept
Judith , at least , from becoming desper
ate , union this particular night some
thing within impelled her to give voice
to her pent-up emotions.
"Tired I" she said , in response to his
speech. "Am lover anything else but
tired , I wonder ? Tired of life , since it
can never bring mo release , never any
thing better than this ; tired of thoughts ,
: hat always lead to onn cud an tmd I
dare not face yet ; tired of everything
but . " Hero she hesitated a little.
"But what ? "
"Everything but you , Hill , dear ! "
Thcro wus inlinito tenderness in tlinsc
Tow words , or rather in the tone in which
they wcro uttered. IJill glanced up
quickly , an catier pleasure in hi * face ;
and then his head nauk upon his hands
again , and he made no answer.
Ho could not quite understand his feel
ing toward Judith. The lirat ono of pity
was gone , aud something ho could not
sr would not nnulyizc lived in its place ,
llo had long since ceased to think of her
is a poor creature whom ho must do his
best for. A restlessness possessed him
now , whicli rendered him unhappy save
when near to her , thouirh , alas ! her pres
ence brought with it no peace.
"Ilo\v long will I bo able to stand it ? "
she went on , half to herself , looking into
the lire as she spoke. "Sometimes I
Fancy such torture must kill me soon , un
less it is fated that he is to be lirst to die !
Now don't pretend to bn shocked , Bill.
You know well enough I hate him suf
ficiently to help him to it , so far as the
will goes , even if I had to follow di
rectly.
"Why did you wed him ? " asked Bill ,
suddenly. Judith gave a short , bitter
laugh.
"Because 1 was a fool , and deserve my
fate ! Because ho was big and strong an'd
masterful , and I liked to feel ho could do
what he chose with mo. Because , oh ,
fiowcanlmako you understand , boy ?
You , who have never felt that sort of
thing ! You , who could never realize
with your slow , calm blood and quiet na-
, uro bow love seizes upon such a woman
as 1 am , and how it carries one out ot
oneself , ono's common sense , one's rea
son , ono's goodness everything ! It is
ifo , it is bliss , it is ocstaoy , while it lasts !
But then it uovor docs last1' ! she ended ,
abruptly.
While she was speaking , a shudder ran
through the young man's frame , and fern
n moment his breath came fast. All this
sounded very tcrriblo to him , but there
was a strange fascination about it , never
theless.
"And yet you hate him so now ? " ho
said , slowly. "I thought n woman who
loved like that once , loved so for al
ways ! "
"I tell you it never lasts ! Perhaps it
burns itself out quickly , because it is so
intense ! And think what a brute ho is ,
and how ho has rnado mo suffer ! Bill
lioro she brought her voice to a whisper
did you know how the baby died ? "
"Fell out of the bed , and that brought
on fits , didn't it ? "
"Fell out ! " she repeated , laying her
hand on his arm , and looking straight
into his eyes with her own , in which n
sullen lire burned ; "it was thrown outf
It had been cross and uneasy , and I getup
up and walked about to try and quiet it ,
for fear of ronsiug him ; but it was no
use , ho hoard it cry , and then , when 1
grow tired and rested for a moment on
the bed , ho took It ont of my arms , and
oh. my Iittlo baby ! my darling ! my baby
that nestled close to my breast , and com
forted mo , and took this hard , cold feel
ing awav ! I could stand by with a smiln
on my lips and see the wretch die when I
think of that ! "
Just for a moment the memory of
motherhood in the woman had softened
her , but only to give place to a doopcr ,
sterner hatred. Bill could not speak. Ho
was sick and unutterably revolted at the
revelation. Thcro was no hope , no com
fort for a case like this. What could ho
do but hold his peace ?
Judith , too , seemed to Find it impossi
ble to speak more , and she began to lay
the cloth for her husband's frugal sup
per of broad and cheese. Everything
about the place spoke of poverty , though
there was a neatness and a spotless clean
liness which helped to take away any
sordid impression it might have given.
Many of the pitmen's cottages in the
north are almo.it luxurious in their com
fortable arrangements and substantial
furniture ; this one was bare of every
thing of the sort , and yet , from a.i utter
absence of the vulgar ornoruent they
affect , it looked greatly their superior.
As much so , indeed , as did Judith , in her
simple , shabby dress of russet-brown
merino , with the flowinglincs almost an
tique in their simplicity and severity.
She waa a beautiful creature , with a cer
tain natural grandeur and grace of move
ment that seemed to date back to some
early and unsophisticated period of the
world , and was as much out of character
with the present time as an opio or a
symphony. It did not take long for her
to finish , nor domestic duties , aud them
she returned to tlm fireside.
Bill had followed her with his eyes all
the while , and now they rested again on
her face. Thcso eyes wcro the only
noticeable feature in bis pale , character
less face. They wore deep-sot , and of
some dark indefinite Shade , neither black
nor brown , and thny shown like stars
when the firelight flickered on them.
Every now and then they wandered to
the purple marc on Judith's brow , as
though irresistibly drawn to it. After
they kept silonoo for a long timu ,
"Jndith , " ho said , in alow , deep voico.
"yo know it's not for the want o' will
that aa cannu think of owt to help you ? "
"I know all that , Bill , dear ! Don't fret
too much if any harm comes to mo. You
are the only ono who has tried to make
thinks better , you are the only gleam of
brightness in my life ; and love you for it ,
1 do indeed , dear I"
"Is there nothing to be done ? " cried
the lad , impulsively.
"Yes ; 1 have ono refuge left when it
gets past bearing , " replied the woman ,
slowly , "You'll not tell of it , Bill , or
he'll take it away from me ? "
She drew a small phial out of her
breast , and held it up to the firelight. It
was full of clear , greenish-colored liquid.
Bill held out his hand , but she shook her
head and replaced it.
"I won't trust you ; you're too fond of
mo. "
"What is it , lass ? Poison ? "
Juditb nodded.
"Chloral. I'ro not lived with fine
ladles for nothing , you see ! "
Bill Jumped up and began pacing the
lloor excitedly.
"But. Judith ? Oh , vf hat ever must aa
do ? Judith , yo'll not do that ; say ye'll
not , for ma sake ? Ye must hear the
truth now. Aa canna live without ye I"
As tbo last words burst out. ho Ichelt
down by Judith's chair , and put bis
arms around her In a way half protect-
Ing , half appealing , and she licit his
heart boating tumultnously close to her
own. Some responsive emotion thrilled
through her , and she stooped suddenly
nnd kissed his forehead. At the touch of
of her warm lips the young man's blood
turned instantly to flame , and the pent-
up passion within him broke bounds. Ho
tightened his hold upon her , and kissed
her lips , her hands , her bruised fore
head , a hundred times. "Oh , Judith , aw
canna live without yol" ho murmured
over and over again , in a voice broken
and hoar.so with overwhelming passion.
The woman seemed a Iittlo afraid of
the tempest she had raised , oven while
licr check Unshod , and a look of eager
triumph came into her eyes. For u mo
ment she yielded to his caress , and then
withdrew herself and stood upright.
"Bill dear calm " she whispered
, , try to be ,
pered , cutreatidgly. "Ho may como in
tit any time , now , and you know what ho
is. Do try to bo quiet , for my sake. "
Bill , making a tremendous effort , re
gained his self-control , but ho was all
trembling and shaken. Ho sunk upon
the low stool and buried Ins face in Ins
hands. Ho was a good lad , well brought
up and right principled ; and this tcrriblo
temptation which had seized upon and
mastered him made him loatbo himself ,
even while ho succumbed to it. But ho
recognized the truth when she lirst told
him how impossible it wus he should over
love in such a way. Her description of
her own past state of mind had awak
ened him to his present oncand it needed
only a touch to tiuish what was then bo
gun.
Suddenly the door was fhmg open , and
Dick , the husband staggered in , three
parts drunk aud the remaining part
wicked
"Oh , ho , ma lad , ave catchcd yo this
time. Aa wonder yo'ro not feared to
mak up to yer big brother's wife , yo
young deovil. But aw'll let thco know
what's what , if thou dinna mind what
thou's cfter.
Tlio bully was in a quarrelsome mood ,
and seemed surprised when his words
evoked no rejoinder. Bill stjll kept his
head down and took no notice , though
his palo cheek Hushed , and ho bit his
under lip seriously.
"Is that all the supper yo've got for
yo'vc good man , yo laz/.y hussy ? What
for haven't yo cooked me somctliln1 nice
and tasty , instead of sittin1 me down to
yer bloomln' dry bread aiiilcliuesoV'J
Ho cut himself u slicu of bread as eho
spoke , am ! Bill , glancing up at him ,
noticed that the blade of the big bread-
knife gleamed us though it were a new
ono.
ono."I hail nothing to cook and no money
to buy anything , " replied Jiidith calmly.
Dick gave a great laugh.
"Notlnn1 JiUo short commons to bring
down a proud spirit , ma line madam ! If
yo were better fed yo'd kick ewer the
traces ! "
The woman made no answer. So long
as ho confined himself to words she cared
Iittlo what lie said.
"And what do you two get to talk
about all the time , aa's away ? Black
guard me au'Jl warrant , and wish aa was
jut o'tli' road. Couie aud sit on ma knee ,
lass , and make him envious o' ma bonny
wife ! "
Judith gave him a defiant and con
temptuous Icolc ,
"I shall act no farce for your pleas
ure. "
"What ! Ye refuse ? Aw"ll fell yo to
the ecound if yo dinniv mind. "
Once set agoinc , he poured out a Hood
of abuse , and tuuu rising , mndo for his
intended victim. But Bill was before
hand with him. The young fellow placed
himself in front of her , and stoud. witli
Hashing eyes , daring the bully to do bis
work
"Yo shall not lay a finger on her this
neot ! I will kill you first ! ' '
The village policeman and n pitman of
horticultural tendencies were having a
quiet gossip over the merits of their ro-
spccti < { c dahlias , when they were startled
by the sound of voices quarreling , and
stopped to listen.
"Hoots , man , it's newt out o * th' com
mon , " said the dahlia grower , after a
moment's pause. "Only that brute Dick
Felton landed homo drunk , and in ono of
his tantrums , and then the wife catches
ii hot , yo know. "
"We d better get round to the front to
bo ready , case anything happens , " re
plied the guardian of the peace ; and the
two men walked through the opening
which Jed to the street. As they went
they heard Bill Fcnton's loud spoken do-
ikuicc , then immediately following it a
deep groau cuiuo , a shriek , and the sound
of the fall of a heavy body. Feeling no'w
more auxlous. they quickened their stops ,
and opouing the cottage door , stooa
aghast at the scene which presented itself.
Partly leaning against u bench which
stood close to the wall , and yet limn and
motionless , was the hugo body of Dick
Fcnton , and from a great stab in his side
the blood was welling , and dripping
slowly , drop by drop , upon the floor.
Judith lay near him , and at first' they
fcarecf she , too , was dead , but found on
examination that she had simply fainted.
But the most frightful spectacle was
Bill Felton , Dick's younger brother , who
was standing over the murdered man ,
staring at him with a strong , fixed gaze ,
which oven the entrance of the men
failed to divert for a moment. In his
hand was a largo sharp bread-knife , the
weapon with which the deed had evi
dently been committed , and his right
sleeve and shirt-front were covered w > th ' ,
blood. Neither of the two now-comers
could muster sufficient courage to approach
preach the murdered man. until the doc
tor who was sent for immediately
arrived , when they raised the body and
laid it on the table. The surgeon pro
nounced life extinct , and expressed the
opinion that the stab , being in a vital
part , had proved fatal at once.
When Judith was restored to conscious
ness it appeared as though her mind had
given way , for shr- burst into n loud and
ghastly laugh , and.pointmgto the corpse ,
cried ont : ' 'Alf or ono color , look where
I like ! It was the devil who died every
thing red , so that I might get used to the
color. Didn't I tell you so , Bill ? "
The court was crowded almost to suffo
cation when William Felton was tried at
the following assizes for the murder of
his elder brother , Richard Folton. The
circumstances of the case wore peculiar ,
and in some respects mysterious , and
aroused a great deal of interest and at
tention. Tlio well known brutal and In
temperate habits of the murdered man ,
as contrasting with the steady , studious ,
inoffensive nature of those of the accused ,
gained the latter a considerable amount
of sympathy. It was conjectured that
the deed was the result of a sudden pas
sion probably caused by some threatened
or actnal violence on tno part of the de
ceased , and that most likely this violence
had been shown toward his wife. Indeed ,
it was well known that tno younger man
had often in former times protected the
woman Judith from his elder brother's
fnry. Ever since the murder , or man
slaughter for the crime scorned ranch
more likely to bo considered the latter
than the former Judith Folton had boon
in a strange state of mind , and , although
she was to bn called as principal witness
against the accused ( she being the only
person present at the time ) , the medical
men who had oxammcd her worn more
than doubtful as to her sanity.
The case for the prosecution was strong
against the prisoner , even before this
woman was examined , although the wit
nesses did their best to show the very
high estimation in which ho was held by
tlioso who know him intimately.
He did not look like a criminal as ho
stood there in the dock , with his slight
form and bis palo , delicate face , from
which the eyes shone clear and star like
from their hollow sockets. He seemed
very anxious and nervous , however , and
kept glancing at the door from which
the witnessesTissued ,
At last the woman , Judith Felton , was
called , and walked ta the witness box
with n steady step , though those near
enough to sco her clearly noticed that
there waa n strange , dazed look about
hor. , *
Before she waa sworp * no looked long
atid earnestly at the prisoner , and ho re
turned the gaze. Ills iVij was calm and
resolute now , and had ] lopt the nervous
expression it had liithrrto worn. As ho
continued to watch Judith's face n look
? f great swoctnoss andcoutont crcptovcr
liis own , nnd ho smiled to her. But the
woman turned away , , shuddering from
licad to foot. The oatli wa.s administered
to her in duo form , and she was called
upon to give her evidence , She hesitated
a moment , aud then spoke out in a clear ,
distinct voico. "It is- very simple. Ho
who stands yonder is Innocent. I am the
guilty one ! I did It ! .Ho only drew the
Knife out of the wound ! "
"Judith ! " cried the prisoner , in an ag
onized tone , "don't , for pity's sake ! Hold
your tongue ! It's not true , my lord ;
she's lost her wits , poor thing ! "
"Silence ! "
"It Is absolutely true , " wont on the
witness , with a simple directness which
carried conviction. "I had often thought
of it , and latterly had begun to dream of
it , though 1 did not know until the mo
ment came that I should have over the
courage to carry it out. "
"Do you mean to toll us that you de
liberately planned to take your husband's
life ? " questioned the judged , The wit
ness appeared now to have a little difli-
culty to keep her attention fixed , and re
quired to have the question repeated.
"No ; I did not plan it. It took posses
sion of mo and kept coming back aud
back , though I struggled against the
idea. I can scarcely describe it I feel
so confused but wherever 1 looked ,
there seemed to bo blood in Iho sky , In
in the water , in the lire everywhere ! "
The witness tnnde this remarktblo
statement in an oven , monotonous , rather
sleepy way , but it sent a thrill through
the court all the same. Then , turning
toward the prisoner , she hold out her
arms with a gesture of passionate en
treaty.
"Forgive me , Bill , dear Bill forgive
mo for ever allowing you to stand
where you do ! I was a coward ; but
still , I could not let you die for mo no , I
could not bear that ! 1 love you , Bill , I
love you better than I knew , dear. "
As she finished speaking hur head
dropped , and she fell forward , appar
ently in a swoon.
The acuused gave one sharp , short cry
of horror and thou his face grew calm
again.
"What has happened ? " cried some per
son near him.
"Sho has taken poison , " aflirmed the
prisoner quietly.
This statement was indeed found to bo
true. When the doctor , who was called
upon , examined Judith , ho found that
the action of the heart had ceased. She
had drank the contents of the phial which
sh carried always about her pornon , a
Iittlo while before entering the court.
This accounted for her strangely sleepy
unemotional demeanor.
It was a tragic ending to n tragic life ;
but even Bill with all the passion of
young grief which overwhelmed him ,
could not but feel tliht ; as far as this
world went , it was the least terrible ono
which could have hanbcned.
And after ? Ah ! who knows ?
