Goed-byl" Fer the next half hour Bcsse sobbed with joy. Tell the truth nnd destroy Alick's faith in her? Never! Never in this world! CHAPTEK XXV The DeetmUr's Oath It was the morning of thp day of the swearing-in of thp new Deemster at Castle Bushen. The Blhen had asked permission te solemnize the cere meny witn n religious service a cus tom long unobserved. ThP sprvicp was lipid In n ground chamber of moderate size within, wnlls thirty feet thick, enpp thp bnnqiiPting hall of the Kings of Man, new the jail chapel, with an atmosphere tbat.sejmed te be compounded equally of the intoxi cated laughter of the old revelers and the means of the condemned prisoners. Fer the event of the day the chill place had been suitably decorated. Flags hung en the tarred walls, red cushions from the neighboring church had been laid en the bare benches; a carpet had been stretched down the nlsle of the flagged fleer; a white embroidered altar cloth covered the plain communion table from which the light of four candles in sliver candlesticks flickered en the faces of the small congregation chiefly offl effl ,.inl ultli their wives and daughters. Shertlv before eleven, the hour fixed for the service, Stowell entered, wear ing for the first time the wig nnd gown nf a judge, and he was led te one of the three armchairs at the front. A little later there came through the thick walls the sound of soldiery clashing arm" outside the castle, and at the next moment the Governer nrrrlved In gen eral's uniform of red nnd geld, with Fenelln behind him in n lnrge spring hat (her fnce glowing with animation), and they took the two remaining chairs. Then the bishop In his scarlet robes came in. preceded by his crezlcr, and the service began. It wnR short but solemn. First a psalm of David ("He shall judge thy people with righteousness and thy peer with judgment"): then an epistle te the Iletnans ("Owe no man any thing") : nnd then an improvised prayer by the bishop asking the Almighty te pr.int His strength nnd wisdom te His servant who was shortly te take the solemn oath of his great office, that he might deliver the peer and needy, deal faithfully with nil men, nnd show mercy te such as had erred and sinned. Then came the hymn "Theu Judge of Quick nnd Dead," nnd finally the benediction. Stowell was strongly affected. He knelt nt the prayer, and when the serv ice was at nn end and It was time te go. I-'cnclla had te touch his shoulder. The sun was bright outside, and they blinked their eyes as they crossed the leurtyard te the courthouse. The stately little chamber was full, sate for thp seats that had been reserved for the officials. There was a flash of faces, a waft of perfume, n flutter of handkerchiefs and a hum of whispering as the Governer stepped up te the scar let dais, with Stowell following him nnd taking for the first time the seat of the Judge.
