Sleell never knew what answer he
undo when lie took her outstretched
i,.n.t! hut after a moment he wild.
"Yeu knew
friend Gell?"
"Indeed I de
nnd hew's Innbclln?
and Adelaide?
and Verbena?"
While, l'enclla
was talking: te Gell,
Htewcll had time te

wns the most beau

Gell made shift te answer for the ds-,
tin he hud net seen for month, and
then went off.
And then Fenelln, taking the chair
ihitStenell had f-et for her, nnd drop drep
plnj her eirc te n deeper note, uld:
w'
"Fer this case we need an advocate who loves women ai women.
That's why I've brought this first case te you"
"And new te buMnc-. Yeu knew
we e cMnbllidicd en the Ulund n branch
of the Women's Protection League?"
"1 knew."
"One of Its objects Is te protect
women from the law."
"The law?"
"Yen, sdr, the law," raid LVnclla
rmillng. "lour law can be very cruel
sometimes especially te women. Hut
our iir.-t ca-e is net one of that kind.
It Is a case In which the law, If rightly
guided, can best de justice by showing
mercy."
A young wife In Castletown had
killed her nuvband. She had already
appeared at the High Hailiff'H Omit
nnd been committed for trlnl te the
Court of General Gael Delivery the
Manx Court of AssUe.
"There seems te be no question of her
guilt," ald Fenelle, "te we can nei
ther expect nor desire that she should
escape punishment altogether. The peer
thinir she's M-arecly mere than a girl
will say nothing in self-defense, but
when we remember hew the soul of a
woman shrinks from a crime of that
kind we feel'that -he must have suffered
some great injustice, some secret wrong,
which, if it could be bieuglit out in
court' "
"I see," said Stewcll.
Fenelhi paused a moment and then
Mild. In n voice, that was becoming
tremuleus:
"Therefore, we have thought that
for this cnM we need nn advocate who
leven women as women and inn see into
the heart of a woman when flic's down
and done, because Ged has made him
se. And that's why "
"Yes?"
"That's why 1've brought this first
CBM' te ,OU."
Stowell could "caiccly sprak te nn
swer her. Uut after u moment he stam
mered that he would de his utmost; and
then Fenelln brought out of her hand
bag some printed papers that were a
report of the preliminary Inquiry.
"I'll read them teni;ht," he said,
putting them into his brenst pocket.
"Of course, you'll require te see the
prisoner.'
"Yes."
"She hasn't opened her lips yet, but
you must get her te speak."
"I'll trv."
"That's all for the present," snld
Fenelln, rising; and at the next mo
ment she wns smiling again, and her
eyes were beginning te glow.
"He this is where you live?"
"Xe. this is my office; I live at the
ether side of the heuc."
"lteally? I wonder "
"Yeu would like te sec my lllng
rooms?"
"I'd -leir te. I've nlwa.ts wanted te
see hew young bachelors live alone."
"Come this way then."
Stewcll had net realized what lie was
doing for himself until he wns en the
landing, with the key in the lock, and
Fenelln behind him. hut than came a
stabbing memory of another woman In
the same position.
"Come In," he cried fhis voice was
quivering new), nnd drawing up the
Venetian blind he let In a flood of sun
shine nnd the soft song of the sea.
"What u comfy little room!" said
Fcnella.
As she looked around her eyts seemed
te light up everything.
"It s easy te see that you ve been

"Quite right."

Hut another stabbing memory came,
and he could get no further.
"And se this Is where you sit alone
until all hours of the night reading,
reading, reading?"
He tried te spenk, but could net. She
glanced at the bedroom which steed
open, and said, with eyes that seemed
te laugh :
"Is that your ?"
He nodded, breathing, deeply, and
trying te turn his ryes away.
"May I perhaps ?"
"If you would like te."
"What fun!"
She steed In the doorway, looking
Inte the room for a moment, with the
sunlight en her bronze -brown hnir, and
then, turning back te him with the
warmer sunshine of her smile, she said :
"Well, you young bachelors know knew know
hew te mnkc yourselves comfertnblc.
I must sny. Hut I seem te scent a
woman about this place."
He found himself stammering:
"There's my housekeeper, Mrs. Quaylc.
She comes every morning "
"Ah, that accounts for It"
She walked dewnstnlr by his side,
and said, as he opened the carriage
deer for her:
"You'll de your best for that peer
girl?"
"Mv verv best."
"And, by the wny, the Deemster has
invited the uoverner ana me te uniin uniin
mear. We go en Monday and stay a
week. Of course you'll be there?"
"I'm afraid
"Oh; but you must."
"I'll I'll try."
"Au reveir!"
He attfed, after the carriage had gene
until it had crossed te tne ether side
of the square, where, from the shade
of the Inside (it had been closed in the
meantime) Fenelln reached her smiling
face forward and bowed te him again.
Then he went back te his room new
empty, silent and dead.
Oh, Ged, why had that senseless
thing beep allowed te happen? Lord,
what a little step In front of him en
life's highway a manwas permitted te
see!
Stewcll did net return te his office
that afternoon. Ills young clerk locked
up, left the keys, went downstairs nnd
shut the deer nfter him, but still he
sat in the gathering darkness like a
man nursing nn incurable wound. He
would never forgive himself for allow
ing Fenelln te come Inte his rooms
never !

''Yeu feet!" he thought, leaping, up
at last. "Wbnt's-dene Is done, ami nil
you've get te de new Is te stand up
te It."
Then he lit the ga and taking the
report out of his pocket he began te
read It. What a shock 1 As, little by
little, through the thick-set hedge of
question and answer, the story of the
wretched young wife came out te bin),
he saw, te his horror, that it wns the
story of Bessie C'elllstcr as he had Im
agined it might be If he deserted her.
What devil out of hell had brought
this case te him as n punishment? Hy
the hand of Fenelln, tee! Ne matter!
If the unseen powers were concerning
themselves with his miserable misdo
ings, perhaps it was only te strengthen
him in his resolution te compel him
te go en. ,
Suffer? Of course he would suffer!
It wns only right that he should suffer.
And as for the haunting presence of
Fcnclla'n face In that room, there was
a wny te banish that.
Se. silling at his desk, he wrote :
"Dear Bessie Ilease go Inte Castle
town tomorrow and have your photo
graph taken, and send It en te me im
mediately."
After that he felt mere at ease and
snt down before the fire te study his
case.
Ill
"I must net go te Hallamear while
she's there. It would be mudness,"
thought Stewcll.
Te escape from the temptation he
made n still deeper plunge into the
caldron of work, selne te courts all
ever the Island and winning his cases
everywhere.
Twice he went te Castle Itushen te
sec the veune wife In her cell. What
happened .there was made known te the
frequenters of the "Manx Arms" by
Temmy Vendy, the jailer. Temmy,
who had been coachman nt Bnllamenr
In the "Stranger's" dnys. nnd appoint
cd te his present pest by the Deemster's
influence, was accustomed te scenes of
loud lamentation. Hut having listened
outside the cell deer, nnd even tuken a
peep or two through the grill, he was
"free te confess" t hat "the young
Mnster" could net get a word out of
the prisoner.
As the week of Fenelln's visit te Bnl Bnl
laeonr was coming te n cletc, Stowell's
nervousness beenme feverish. One day,
ns he was walking down the street, a
deg-cart drew up by his side and a voice
called :
"Mr. Stowell!"
It was Dr. t'lucas, n jovial, rubi
cund, full-bearded man of middle age,
net liable te alarms.
"I've just been out te Hnllnmenr te
see the Deemster, and I think perhaps
jeu ought te keep in touch with him."
"Ih my father ?"
"Oh, no, nothing serious, no imme
diate danger. Still, nt his age, you
knew. ."
"I'll go home tomorrow," said Stow Stew
cll. On the following afternoon he walked
te Bnllamenr. It was n brlirht day In
inr'.y September. There wns u het hum
of bees en the gorse hedges nnd the
light! rattle of tint reaper In the fields,
but inside the tnll clubs there was the
Usual' silence, unbroken even by the
cawing of the reeks.
The house, tee, when lie reached it,
seemed te be deserted. The front deer
was open, but the. rooms were empty.
"Janet I" he cried, but there came
no answer. Then he heard a burst of
laughter from the back, and, going
through the dining-room te the piazza, piazza,
he saw what was happening.
The jellew cornfield .which hnd been
waving te a light brccze when he was
there n fortnight before wns new bare
save for the stocks which were dotted
ever part of It, and In the corner near
est te the mansion house n group of
persons steed wnltlnj for the cutting of
the Inst armful of the crop the Deem
ster, leaning en his stick; the Governer
smoking his brlnr-roet pipe; I'nrsen
Cew'cy. wllh his round red face; .Innet
In her lnce cap; the heuse servants in
their white npiens; Hebble Crcer, In his
sleeve waistceat: eung Hebble, strip
ped te the shirt ; n large company of
farm lads nnd farm girls, and
Fenelln. in n sunbonnet nnd with n
sickle in her hnnd. It was the Mclllnh
the harvest home.
"New for It," cried Hebble, "strike
them from their legs, miss." And nt n
stroke from her sickle Fenella brought
the last sheaf te the Ground.
Then there was n shout of "Hurrah I
for the Me'llah!" nnd nt the next mo
ment Hebble wns dipping mugs into n
pall and linndlng them round te the
males of the company, saying, when he
came te the Parson :
"The I'nrsen wns the first man that
ever threw water in my face" (mean
ing his baptlm), "but there's a jug
of geed Manx ale for his own."
The rough jest was received with
laughter, and then the Deemster, being
called for. spoke a few words with Ins
calm dignity, leaning both hands en his
stick :
" 'Custom must be Indulged with cus
tom or ciwtnni will weep.' Se says our
old .Manx proverb. The sun Is going
west en me, and I ennnet hope te see
many mere Mclllahs. Hut I trust iny
dear son, when lie comes after me, will
encourage jeu te keep up all that Is
geed in our old traditions."
Then there was another shout, fol
lowed by some wild hone-play, with
the farm-bejs vaulting the stocks and
the girls stretching straw ropes te trip
them up, while the Deemster and his
company turned back te the house.
Fenella, coming along In her sun
bonnet (n llttle awry) and with her
sheaf ever her arm, was the first te see
Victer, and she cried:
"At last! The Stranger has come at
last!"
Janet was in raptures, and the Deem
ster said, while his s'ew eyes smiled:
"Yeu nre sleeping at home tonight,
Victer?"
"Yes, father."
"Geed!" '
After saluting everybody Victer found I
himself walking by Fenclla'd side, and i
she was saying in a low voice, with a
sidelong glance: ,
"And hew de you like me In a sun-'
bonnet, sir? Yeu rather fancy sun- 1
I bonnets, I believe?" Hut at that 1110

At dinner Chat hlht Stewcll found
tilmSe'f drawn Inte the home atmosphere
as never before since his days as a
student-nt-law. Tim. dining-table wna
bright with silver and many candles,
and the weed fire, crackling en the
hearth, filled the low-celled room with
the resinous odor of the pine.
Everybody except himself nnd the doc
tor (who hnd arrived as they were sit
ting down) hnd dressed. The beauty of
Fenelln, who came in with the Deem
ster, seemed te be softened nnd height
ened by her pale pink evening gown
like the beauty of n flewerbud when It
opens and becomes n rose.
With .tniirt's complete approval Fe
nelln hnd taken control of everything,
and ns Victer entered she said :
"That's your place, Mr. Stranger."

iRE are nearly 200
tire manufacturers who
would like very much te
sell your car-owning
neighbor his next tire. This inter
ests him but mildly.
Price arguments are thread
worn. Claims and premises have
the same old ring.
The makers of U.S.Reyal Cords
de net claim te be exempt from
the great law of competition. But
it is their firm belief that the time
is here for a new hind.
Ne manufacturer and no dealer
can much longer evade the chal
lenge of progress.
The competition taking shape
today was forecast many years
age in the U.S. Policy the policy
that makes U. S. Tires, at today's
prices, the biggest money's worth
any motorist ever rode upon.
What is this new kind of compe
tition? It is the working for mere and
mere public confidence for
higher and higher quality for
still mere constant public service.
The car-owner can vision
for himself the benefits of
this kind of competition.
Ne one welcomes
it mere sincerely
than the makers
of the U. S.
Royal Cords.
