and though" the judicial' practice of the
past fifty years has been te regard her
crime as felonious homicide, and te
commute the1 death" sentence te penal
servitude for many years, perhaps (as
In a 'recent case) for life, the enormity
of the offense against humanity which
the law' allowed "of seemed te me te be
terrible.
And when I brought It Inte the
scheme of my story, and, saw it as a
aaniial tn tha tranirrcMilen of my iudge
who had te. alt in judgment Upen his
own victim, and might have te con
demn her death, the power of sin te
find etft the sinner and te punish him
became almost frightful.
Pain and Tears
After the trial was ever and the girl
waa made na happy as could he, I pre
vailed upen the Attorney General te
permit me (for a geed purpose, as I
thought, the service of humanity) td
leek ever the official papers. , They
were a portfolio of pain and tears -the
charge, the depositions, the evi
dence, above all, the girl's simple let
ters written in prison, se full of con
trition, of shame, of remorse, of for
giveness for these who had cast her
off, and even of love for the abseht man
at the ether end of the world from
whom no word came te her, In time of
trouble. I was deeply moved by all
this, and determined te make It tha
foundation of the story of Bessle Cel
lister. ,
But in doing set I speedily became
aware that ever the same ground two
great writers had gene before me. One
of these was Geerge, Eliet, who In the
story of Hetty Berrel In "Adam Bede."
had described the tragedy of the girl's
forlorn,' position with a neignance I
could net hope te exceed. But I thought
I saw that there waa something te de
which Geerge Eliet had net done.
Never for a moment has she ques
tioned the justice-of the law which
charged Hetty with murder and con
demned her te death. Her whole con
cern was with the falsehood which the
girl had told et the trial In denying
heir crime and' in adhering te her denial.
The light was cast almost entirely en
the soul about te go before Ged with
a lie en her lips, and hence the intro
duction of the-woman preacher, Dinah
Merris, nnd the marvelous scene in the
cell in which the guilty girl 1b made te
confess.
The ether great writer who had gene
before me with a case ,et Infanticide
waa no less a person than Walter Scott,
whose shoe-latchet I well knew I was
Unworthy te unloose. But neither had
Scott questioned the law and its sen
tence. Hla criminal, Effle Deans, in
the "Heart of Midlothian," had net
killed her child at all. but had only
concealed the birth of It, the assump
tion of the law being that where a
wbman bad net revealed her condition
te any one, and the Child she had given
birth te was net te he found, she must
have made away with It.
Hence the marvelous" scene in court
In which Jeanle Deana (put of her un-,
bending truthfulness) finds herself com cem
pelled te deny that Effle had told her
that she was about (e become a mother,
when ene word of admission, only half
a. word, might have saved her sister's
life. '
But I felt then, and new. with all
humility I say It. that neither of theso
great writers have touched the central
heart of the terrible situation, which
aeemed.te me te be this: When nn un
married mother has killed her new
born child, Is she guilty of murder and
therefore. .deservlnx, of deathr ,
Unmarried Mether's Status
: I say she Is net, and In the bter.v of
Bessie Celllster I have set myself' te
show that under the storm of sljaree.t
perhaps, of poverty, certainly of uneera,
fnWul nalri. th unmarried mother who
glTHi birth te; her, child In solitude is
7
the absence of responsibility acquits
of the crime. ,
Buch,vthen, are two of the corner
stones of ray story of "The Master et
Man, "'which is new te be presented te
the readers of this newspaper, and I
must leave them te judge for themselves
hew, far I have carried out my Intentions
and bow far the motive of my novel is
likely 4e be of -service te humnnity.
I might tell them of the labor I had
In the writing-of the story, hew often I
had te step In, despair and begin again,
hew at one moment I abandoned it alto
gether" and asked te be relieved of my
contract te finish it, and hew at length,
with a new wave of health and spirit,
I j brought it te a conclusion in a rush
of almost .heart-breaking emotion.
But these are the secrets of the
author's Workshop, 'and he can ,08k no
sympathy for .his struggles.
I might' also tell the readers of the
reception of the story en its first pub
lication, hew it sold all ever the world
las few books had ever sold before, iand
Drought m many trmutes tnat are mere
dear te. me than any ether kind of re
ward, together with the usual propor
tion .of. the critical .stupidities which
have always come te any author who has
takeh'.hls .work seriously and Is worth
hia,salt; But these, again, are matter
upon which It Is net proper for the
writer himself te ; 'dwell.
Finally, I might tell of the thousands
of Tetters which have reached me from
readers' in many countries, net all of
them approving of my subject or favor
able te my treatment, of It, but nearly
always touching me deeply as showing
tnat i naa apexen te tne heart ei the
world. '
They fill a bread drawer In a cabinet
In my study, and I can hardly hope te
reply te a tenth of them, for I cannot
permit a secretary te send a formal
acknowledgment, and my strength for
the writing of letters is net what it
was.
But if, In a last word, I may say
anything te the readers of the Evekine
jPunuc LKDafcn, it shall be this :that
if ever the spirit moves them te write
te, me (without expectlng.aireply) about
the story which is about te begin in
these columns, I. can at least assure
them that their letters will be read
with all the attention and sympathy
they deserve.
