THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
DOROTHY.
BY JAMES WORKMAN.
The Jurtjie had (Uneil, and wns en

ttirnln to a pile of pap that lay on
the table at his elbow, Yet even ns
be watcbed tb flickering fire and
ynffed dreHwlly at hl ctjwr, luxuriat

day's r(irk la a vUmn ntwl crowded
court, Uli mlud wm busy furinulntlng
tbe southing sanumces In which bo
Intended to um up a cane that had
been triod that day. There could be no
doubt a to the guilt of the prisoner,
who had txn accused of a mot impu
dent fraud, and though it was a ilrxt
offence, the Jude Intended to pass the
severest sentenco which the law al
lowed. The Jutfgu was no believer In short
tentence. lie regarded leniency to a
criminal as an offence agalnxt socie
ty a direct encouragement to those
who hesitated on the brink of vicious
courses, and were only restrained by
foar of punishment. The wull-mean-lag
people who got up petitions to miti
gate the sentence upon a justly con
victed thief or murderer were, In bis
eyes, guilty of a mawkish sentimental
ity. TlM-re was uo trace of weakness
or effeinlnauey In his own face, with
Its grizzled eyebrows, somewhat cold
gray eyes, thin Hps and massive chin.
He was a Just man, Juxt to the split-
ting of a uair, austere ana unemotion
al. lie had conducted tbe trial with the
most scrupulous Impartiality, but now
that a verdict of guilty was a fore
gone conclusion, he determined to
make an example of one who had so
shamefully abused the confidence
placed in blin.
Stated briefly, the situation was as
follows: The prisoner, Arthur Max
well, wa cashier to a firm of solicit- j
ors, Messrs. Llghtbody and Duiton.
The only surviving partner of the ori-r-inal
firm, Mr. Llghtbody, had recently
died, leaving the business to his
nephew. Thomas Kaulkner. Faulkner
accused Arthur Maxwell of having em
bezzled a sum of two hundred and fifty
pounds. Maxwell admitted having I
taken the money, but positively as- j
sorted that It had been presented to
him ns a free gift by Mr. Llghtbody.
Unfortunately for the prisoner, the let
ter which he had stated bad accompan
ied the check could not be produced,
and Faulkner, supported by the evi
dence of several well-known experts,
declared the signature on the check
to be a forgery. When the check-book
waa examined the counterfoil was dis
covered to be a blank. Tbe prisoner
aaaorturt that Mr. Llirhthotlv himself
had taken out a blank check and bad !
filled It up and signed It at his private I
residence. He could, however, produce
no proof of this assertion, and all the
evidence available was opposed to his
unsupported statement.
"Arthur Maxwell," soliloquized the
Judge, "you have been convicted on
evidence that leaves no shadow of a
doubt of your guilt of a crime which
I must characterize as one of tbe basest-"
The clattering of voices in the hall
brought the soliloquy to an abrupt con
clusion. The judge required absolute
Bllence and solitude when he was en
gaged in study, and the servants, who
stood in considerable awe of blm, were
extremely careful to prevent the least
disturbance taking place witbln ear
shot of his sanctum. He jerked the
bell Impatiently, Intending to give a
good wigging to those responsible for
the disturbance. But the door was
thrown open by his daughter Mabel,
a pretty girl of twelve, who was evi
dently in a state of breathless excite
meat.
M0 papa!" she exclaimed, "here's
such a queer little object wants to see
you. Please let ber come In."
Before the Judge could remonstrate,
a llwle child, a rosy-faced girl of be
tween five and six, In a red hood and
cloak, hugging a black puppy under
ber arm and a brown paper parcel un
der the other, trotted briskly Into the
room. The Judge rose to his feet with
an expression which caused his daugh
ter to vanish with remarkable celerity.
"What on earth are you doing here,
child?" he asked irritably. "What can
you possibly want with me?" She re
mained silent, stating at him with
round, frightened eyes. "Come, come,
can't you find your tongue, little girl?"
n asked "more gently. "What Is It you
want with me?"
"If you please," she said timidly, "I
have brought you Tommy."
Tommy was clearly the fat puppy,
for as she bent ber face toward blm he
wagged his tail and promptly licked
the end of her noue.
"I've broughted you other things as
well," she said, opening the brown pa
per parcel and revealing a doll with a
very beautiful complexion, large blue
eyes and hair of the purest gold, a di
minutive Noah's ark, a white pig, a
woolly sheep, a case of crayons, a pen
holder, a broken-bladod knife, a small
paint box, a picture book or two, and
what bore some faint resemblance to a
number of water-color sketches. She
seemed particularly proud of the last
named. "I painted them all by myself," she
explained.
"Well," he said, "It Is very kind of
j on to bring me all these pretty things,
but why do you want to give them to
m?"
"I I don't want to give them to
you," she faltered.
"Come," he said with a quiet laugh,
"that's honest, at least Well, why do
you give them to me if you don't want
to?"
"I'll give them to you, and Tommy,
too," with a very wistful glance at the
puppy, " If you'll promise not to send
poor papa to prison."
A silouce, such as precedes some aw
ful convulsion of uature, pervaded tbe
room for srveml nsrowds aftor this
riaclona propoml Gvm Tommy, at
though cowering before tho outraged
majeftty of the Uw, buried bin head
txtweon the JudgVll coat and vest and
lay motion! ox 00 pi (or & propitiatory
wag of his tail,
"What Is your tnuno, child?" asked
the Judgn.
"Dorothy Maxwell," faltered the lit
tie girl, timidly, awed by tbe sudden
silence and the porhaps unconsciously
stern expression Upon his lordship's
fare.
"Dorothy Maxwell," said the Judge,
severely, us though the little 11 jure bo
fore blin were standing In the prison
er's dock awaiting sentence, "you have
biHin convicted at the close of the nine
teenth century of the almost unparal
leled crime of attempting to corrupt
one of bor majesty's Judges, to per
suade him by means of bribery to de
feat the ends of Justice. I shall fur
ther enlarge upon the enormity of your
crime. Have you anything to say
why sentence should not be no, no,
don't cry. Poor little thing! I didn't
mean to frighten you, I'm not the least
bit angry with you really and truly.
Come a lid sit on my knee, and show
me all those pretty things.
"This Is very like condoning a crimi
nal offence," thought the judge with a
grim smile, as he wiped the tears from
the chlld"s face and tried to Interest
her in tbe contents of the brown paper
parcel.
But the thoughts the tears aroused
did not vanish with them. Arthur
Maxwell was no longer a kind of im
personal representative of the criminal
classes, to be dealt with as severely
as the Iiiav allowed In the Interest of
society In general. He was the father
of this soft, plump, rosy-cheeked, golden-haired
little maid, who inevitably
would have to share now or In the fu
ture her father's humiliation and dis
grace. At this moment the door opened, and
his wife, a slender, graceful woman,
considerably younger than himself,
with a reliuea, delicate face, came
quietly In.
"Ah," exclaimed the Judge, with a
sudden inspiration, "I believe you are
at the bottom of ail this, Agnes. What
is this child doing here?"
"You are not vexed, Matthew?" she
asked, half timidly.
"Hardly that," be answered slowly;
"but what good can It do? It Is impos
sible to explain the situation to tills
poor little mite. It was cruel to let
her come on such an errand. How
did she get here?"
"It was her own Idea entirely her
own Idea; but her mother brought her.
and asked to see me. The poor wom
an was distracted, nearly frantic with
grief and despair, and ready to clutch
at any straw. She was so dreadfully
miserable, poor thing, and I thought
It was such a pretty Idea, 1 I couldn't
refuse ber, Matthew."
"But, my dear," expostulated the
Judge, "you must have known that It
could do no good."
"I I knew what the verdict would
be," answered bis wife. "I read a re
port of the trial In an evening paper.
But, then, there was the sentence, you
know and and I thought the poor
child might soften you a little, Mat
thew." Tbe judge's bund strayed mechani
cally among the toys, and to Interest
the child he began to examine one of
the most vivid of her pictorial efforts.
"You think I am very bard and un
just, Agnes?" be asked.
"No, no, no," she answered, hurried
ly; "not unjust, never unjust. There
Is not a more Impartial Judge upon the
bench the world says It. But don't
you think, dear, that Just leu without
without mercy is always a little
hard? Don't be angry, Matthew. I
never spoke to you like this before. I
wouldn't now but for tbe poor wom
an In the next room and the innocent
little thing at your knee."
Tbe judge made no reply. He bent
still more closely over tbe scarlet ani
mal straying amid emerald fields, and
burnt umber trees of a singularly ori
ginal shape.
"That's a cow," said Dorothy, proud
ly. "Don't you see Its horns? and
that's Its tall it Isn't a tree. There's
a cat on the other side. I can draw
cats bettor than cows."
In ber anxiety to exhibit ber artistic
abilities in their higher manifestations
she took the paper out of bis bands,
and presented the opposite side. At
first he glanced at it listlessly, and
then his eyes suddenly flashed and bo
examined It with breathless interest.
"Well, I'm blessed!" be exclaimed,
excitedly.
It was not a judicial utterance, but
tbe circumstances were exceptional.
"Here's tho very letter Maxwell de
clared be bud received from Llghtbody
along with the cheque. His reference
to It, as he couldn't produce it, did
more barm than good; but I believe
it's genuine, upon my word I do. List
en; It's dated from Tbe Hollies, Light
body's private address:
"My dear Maxwell: I have Just
heard from the doctor that my time
will be very short, and I am trying to
arrange my affairs as quickly as pos
sible. I have long recognized the un
ostentatious, but thorough and entire
ly satisfactory, manner in which you
have discharged your duties, and as
some little and perhaps too tardy re
cognition of your long and faithful
servls, and as a token of my personal
esteem for you, I hope you will accent
the enclosed two hundred "and fifty
pounds. With best wishes for your f u
ture, believe me, sincerely,
"THOMAS LIGHTBODY."
"What do you think of that? I'll
send it round to Maxwell's solicitor at
once."
"Ob, Matthew, then tbe poor fellow's
lunocout, after all?"
"It looks like It. If this Jotter la gen
ulna, bo certainly is. There, don't
00k mbwrable again. I'm sure It Is.
:f It had boon a forgery, you may lie
luro It would have been ready for pro
luctlon at a moment's notice. Where
lid you got this papor, tittle girl?"
Dorothy blushed guiltily and hung
lor head.
"I took It out of pa's deslt. I I
x-anted soma papor to draw on, and I
:00k it without asking. You won't tell
Urn, will you? He'll be ever so cross."
"Wall, we may perhaps have to let
ilm know about It, my dear; but I
lon't think he'll be a bit cross. Now,
:hlB lady will take you to your mother,
ind you can tell her that papa won't
ro to prison, and that he'll be home to
norrow night."
He kissed her, and bis wife held out
ler hand. But Dorothy lingered, with
langtng bead and twitching lips.
"May I may I say good-by to Tom
&y, please?" she faltered.
"Tommy's going with you," said the
ludge, laughing kindly. "I wouldn't
leprlvo you of Tommy's company for
rommy's weight In gold."
Dorothy eagerly pursued the fat pup
py, captured him after an exciting
:hae, and took him In her arms. Then
ihe walked towards the door, but the
rner of her eye rested wistfully on
;he contents of the brown paper parcel.
The Judge hastily gathered tlie toys,
rolled them up in the paper, and pre
tentcd them to ber. But Dorothy looked
lisnppolnted. The thought of giving
.hem to purchase ber father's pardon
lad been sweet as well as bitter. She
-as willing to compromise In order to
jscape the pang that the loss of T0111
ny and the doll and the paint-box and
jther priceless treasures would have
nfllcted, but she still wished poor lit
tle epitome of our complex human na
ture to taste the Joy of heroic self-sac-iflce.
Besides, she was afraid that the
ludge might after all refuse to pardon
her father If she took away all the
Sifts with which she had attempted to
propitiate hlra.
She put the parcel on a chair and
pened It out. Holding the wriggling
puppy in her arms she gazed at her
treasures, trying to make up her mind
which would be sufficiently valuable
n the Judge's eyes to accomplish her
purpose. Finally, she selected the
sheep, and presented the luxuriantly
woolly, almost exasperatingly tneck-
ooklng, animal to the judge.
"You may have that and the pretty
picture for bein' kind to papa," she said,
with tbe air of one who confers Ines
timable favors.
He was about to decline the honor,
Silt, catching bis wife's eye, he meekly
accepted It, and Dorothy and the pup
py and the brown paper parcel disap
peared through the door.
"Well, well," said the Judge, with a
queer smile, as he placed the fluffy
white sheep on tbe mantleplece, "I
aever thought I should be guilty of ac
cepting a bribe, but we never know
ivhat we may come to."
The next day Maxwell was acquitted
ind assured by the Judge that he loft
the court without a stain upon bis char-
icter. The following Christmas Dor
othy received a brown paper parcel
'cnlaiuing toys of tbe most wonderful
.'.e.sciiptlon from an unknown friend;
u. d It was asserted by bis intimates
that ever afterwards the judge's sen
tences seldom erred on the side of se
verity, and that he was disposed, when
ever possible, to give a prisoner the
benefit of the doubt The Strand

little Fannie Adams, of Umatilla, Cured of a Dreadful Malady
1 Cure ol Unusual interest
From lh Lake
For nm time vast the IM-e Region has
been receiving reports from Umatilla, FU.,
f m Almnat inlranulon curs that had been
effected in the ease of Fannie Adnms, s
dHUgrtcr of A. J. Adams, of that place, ana
Jut Saturday s representative of this paper
mnila a trio to Umatilla for the purpose of
determining the authenticity of the same.
The family live a snort nistanee irom ine
villacra whore it wiu found that the Deocle
wrre cognizant of the cure which had boon
efleoted, and were rejoicing with the family
in their new found happiness. The father,
A. J. Adams, is a hard-working honent
fnrnine from east Tennessee, and tbe family
came to Florida four years apo in the hope
that s change of climate would be or henent
to their afflicted child. Much of their earn
incs linve cone for doctors' bills, whose ser
vices proved unavailing. The representative
was greeted by Mrs. Adams, from whom he
gained tho story of her great trial.
Fannie, the youngest child, was born in
east Tennessee, and was seven yenrs old on
the third day of February, 1897. When ten
months old she was stricken with paralysis,
which affected the entire left side. This
stroke of paralysis was followed ly convul
sions, and from the time little Fannie was
ten months old until February, 189", there
was not a single day or a night taut sne uiu
not hare spasms of the mnt distressing
nature. Not a single convulsion, but al
ways three or four, and sometimes as high
as ten in one day.
The family was all broken down with
care, and Mrs. Adams stales that for one
year she dm not go into her mtonen to super
intend her household work. All the fingers
of the right hand of the little girl are en
larged and misshapen, caused by her bit

How Raphael Settled ttis Bill,
Raphael, the great Italian painter.
whose celebrated Biblical pictures are
worth fabulous sums of money, was
not a ncn man when young, and en
countered some of the vicissitudes of
life, like many another genius. Once
when traveling he put up at an inn
and remained there unable to get
away through lack of funds to settle
his bill. The landlord grew suspici
OU3 that such was the case, and his
requests for a settlement grew more
and more pressing. Finally young
Raphael, in desperation, resorted to
the following device.
He carefully painted upon a table
top in his room a numbee of gold
coins, and placing the table in a ccr
tain light that gave a startling; effect,
he packed his few belongings, and
summoned his host.
"There," he exclaimed, with a lord
ly wave of his hand toward the table.
" is enough to settle my bill and
more. Now kindly show the way to
the door.
The innkeeper, with many smile
and bows, ushered his guest out, and
then hastened back to gather up his
gold. His rage and consternation
when he discovered the fraud knew no
bounds, until a wealthy English trave
ler, recognizing the value of the art
put in the work, gladly paid him fifty
pounds for the table. Harper
