stew ell struggled with himself for a
moment, and then, with an eniBarrasM-d
Utterance, said:
"Let her come In.
"This H ry wrong of you, Mrs.

"Sit down. Mrs. Celllsrcr."
The old woman sat in the chair which
, -mmmmmmmmm.
iMeweil Knew that hli feelings as a
man wrra getting the better of his duty
as a Judge.
.Timet turned for her, and began en her
story.
"It's about Bessie."
Rhe hnd always been a geed girl. Ne
m her ever had a better. And if pee peo poe
tie were savinc she hud been in treu-
bio beforev might the Lord forgive them
when tilth- own time rnme, for It was
lies tncy were putting en tlie girl.
"And if she e in trouble new, your
Hener, it's like it's net nil her own
fault neither."
First there was her father. He had
been shocking hard en the girl, shut
ting hf r out of the house in the dark of
night and se throwing her into the way
of temptation.
"Until they lay me under the sod
I'll rtver get It out of my curs, sir
tile sound of her feet going off en the
street."
And when the girl came home again,
looking that weak ithnt it teemed as If
the world, wnsn't willing te stand under
her. the father had (minted her with
coming bnck te eat them up, and maybe
biinging nnuthcr mouth te feed.
"Se If he did the terrible shucking
thln they're snilng I don't knew if
'she did, j our Hener I don't knew if

mlnute I took her up te it uni.il Cain,
1 he 'Constable (mnv the Lord forgive
him!) came dragging her down but
If she did, it's like it was because the
peer child was alone in the durk mid
night, and out of herhulf entirely, nnd
net knowing what she wns doing, nnd
perhaps fn-ekened of what the old man
would be saying in the morning."
Stewcil was silent. The old woman
cried softly te herself for a moment and
then snld:
"Nobody knows what that is, your
I Hener, except them that has gene
l tnmili it-."
Then she wiped her eyes, one after
another, nnd said she could net sleep
"a wink en the night," lying In her
white bed nnd thinking of Bessie where
she wns new. And navlng rend "In
clans" last evening hew the Lord heard
(he cry of linger for her son In the wil
derness she 'had thought his Hener
might hear her cry for her daughter.
Stowell knew that his feelings as a
man were getting the better of his duty
os a Judge, se he tried te be severe
with the old woman, telling her she had
no right te come te hlm.'nnd that he
had done wrong te listen. te her.
"In fact, I could net hove received
you at all but for one thing I am net
going te try your daughter s case."
The old woman wns appalled.
"De von mean, sir, that you'll net
he trying-Bessie?"
"Ne, Deemster Taubman will prob
ably de se." .....
At that the old woman broke Intrf n
flood of tears.
' 'Aw dear ! Aw dear ! And me piny -Ing
en my kncea en the kitchen fleer
that the Lord would bring you back in
time from Londen some one's being se
luird en peer girls in trouble!"
Again Stowell wns silent, and for
some moments nothing was heard but
the wemnn's broken sods. At lengtn.
unable te bear any longer the sight of
the old mother's disappointment, he
sold he would de what he could for
her. If he could net sit en her daugh
ter's case he would write te Deemster
Tnubman, explaining her condition and
describing Iter temptatldns.
"Cled bless you for .that," cried the
old woman. And then Janet said it
wns time te go. his Hener being unwell.
"May tne i-eru give mm neaiiu ami
strength and long life, ina'nni."
People were right when they were
telling her he had his father's heart.
He hnd, tee. She was going out of
the room with hope kindled, when she
snld.
"Yeu must excuse n peer woman if
she did wrong in coming te you, sir."
"We'll snv no mere about that new,"
said Stowell. "Ge home and rest,
mother."
At that word the old woman broke
diitvn utterly. But after n moment uer
wenk eyes shone and she said,
"Bessie is net our quality, sir. but
if she gets off she'll write te thank
you."
"Ne. no! She must never de that,"
said Stowell.
"Geme new, Mrs. Celllstcr," said
Janet.
But having reached the deer, the old
woman turned her wet fnce, and see
ing the portrait of Stowell's mother
en the wall, and mistaking it for that
of Fenelln, she Bald,
"They're tellinir m'cyeu're te be mar
ried seen, jour honor, Mriy the Lord
give you peace nnd love in your own
home, and that's better than geld or
lands, sir."
Stewcil tried te reply, but he could
only wave his hand nnd turn te the
window as the old woman left the room.
Why net? What sin against Oed
1 would it be te unite this suffering
woman ie W Buffering daughter, If he
could de se without wronging justice?
A moment afterward Janet came back
wtttne It it mwma
r'Oh, these methere! They're fit
enough te break one's heart, Victer.
Ill
Stowell was in (he dining room the
next day when he heard the clatter of
a horse's hoofs en the drive, and a
moment later n voice in the hall saying,
"The Deemster will see me, Jane."
It was Allck Qell. His tall figure
was mere bent than usual ; his hair was
disordered; his eyes glittered; he was
deeply agitated.
"Excuse me, old fellow. Yeu knew
why I've net been here before. It h
Bessie. I'm busy every hour getting
up her case. Awful, isn't it? I can'.t
make myself believe it even yet. Some
times in the middle of the night I hear
myself crying 'Geed Ged, it can't be
true!"
Stowell could scarcely find voice te
reply. He remembered what he hnd
advised Fenelln te get Gell te de. Had
'Bessie told him?
"I received Fenelln's letter and of
course I am taking up the defense. I've
seen Bessie, tee, and arranged every
thing. She's innocent, nnd I'll fight for
her te the Inst breath In my body. But
leek here read this," he said, drag
ging a crumpled newspaper from his
pocket, and handing It te Stowell with
a trembllnj hand.
It was a copy of the day's insular
paper containing n paragraph which
said that the continued illness of the
new Deemster would probably prevent
him from presiding at the forthcoming
sitting of the Court of General Gael
Delivery.
"That s tlie nrst edition. When it
was published at 12 o'clock I couldn't
wait until the afternoon train, se I
hired a horse from Fnrgher, the job jeb
master, nnd I've "galloped all the way.
Don't tell me it's true."
Stowell answered In a low tone that
perhaps it might have te be, whereupon
Gell made n cry of dlsmny.
"Then Ged help my peer girl! It will
be Taubman, nnd she'll net have a
deg's chance with him."
Tnubman was a brute especially in
cases of this kind. What did people
say about him thnt when he snw a
woman in the deck he wnH like a cat
who had seen n rat? It was true. He
was always bullying the juries who
showed humanity te girls in trouble.
"The lnftrnnl old blockhead! He
has rheumatism in the legs, they say.
I wish te heaven he hnd it in his threat,
and it would choke him."
And then the barbarous old statute!
Practically repealed in every ether
country, but still capable of operation
In the Isle of Man. Think of it! Five
enrs, ten years, fifteen jears even
dentli itself, perhaps!
"Stowell. we arc old chums
It's net right of me.' I knew thnt
but for the sake of our old friendship,
sit en Bessie's case yourself."
Stew ell felt ns if he were en the edge
of n precipice. Abysmal depths Iny be
fore him at the next step. With nn
awful secret in his heart lie felt thnt
it was almost impossible te spenk one
word mere without betraying himself.

hnd never seen before. At length lie
said.
"Upssle is te plead net guilty?"
"Certainly."
"Will she stick te that?"
"Undoubtedly. Why shouldn't she?
Besides, she has given me her premise."
Again Stowell wns slldut for n me
ment; then he said,
"I cannot premise te conduct the
court, but if Taubman will de se, and
I'm fit te sit with htm, I'll I'll
see she has n fair trial."
Gell made a shout of joy,
"That's geed enough for me. Just
like you, old fellow."
He snatched up his qap n different
man In a moment.
"I must get back te town new. t J
have the witnesses te arrnnge for. Net
tee many of them, unfortunately.
There's the mother, slic's nil right, but

The damned old blackguard! I should
like te break his ugly neck. I jelly

Bessie will clear herself. Since she's
going te be my wife she must, leave the
court without n stain. Geed -by and
Ged bless you, old chap ! Ne, no,
don't come te the deer." (Stowell wns
for scelnir him out.) "Take care of
yourself. Geed men are scarce. And i
then jeu've get te be fit for court, 3 en

Stowell watched him from the win
dow ns he rode down the drive en his
tired horse, patting its neck and en- i
ceuraging i.t with cheery cries.
New he understood why Bessie hnd ,
held off while Gell had wished te mnrry j
her. It hnd becti n case of the wife
of the Peal fisherman ever ngnln. with I
the difference that Bessie (te nveld the
danger of deceiving her husband) had

ish, frantic scheme! Yet what cour
age! What strength! Whnt affection!
But if, under Tnubman's searching
?uestlens, the conspiracy of love should

lapse, and Gell should see that she had
deceived him. and that he tee
Ne, no, that intst net be! After
all, what outrage en justice would It
be te keep n.cnse like this out of the
hands of a cold-blooded, Inhuman legal
machine who would commit mere crime ,
than he punished? I
Still standing by the window. Stew-
ell heard the clatter of a horse's hoofs
en the high read. Gell, in high spit its, .
was galloping home.

This Test
Is Free
We eend te every home that asks a
10-Day Tube of Pepsedent. That de
lightful test will show the chief effects.
Send the coupon for it. Watch the
changes that occur. Then judge by
what you see and feel hew much this
method means.
It will be a revelation.
Careful People
Learn hew they beautify their teeth
Careful people, almost the world
ever, are brushing their teeth in a new
way. Yeu see the results wherever you
leek. Millions of teeth new glisten
teeth which once were dim.
Leading dentists everywhere advise
this new-day method. This is te urge
that you try it.
Film makes teeth dingy
Yeu feel en your teeth a viscous film.
It clings te teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
That film absorbs stains, making the
teeth leek dingy. It forms the basis of
tartar. The luster of teeth is destroyed
by film.
Ne ordinary teeth paste effectively
combats it. Se even well-brushed teeth,
because of film-coats, lese the beauty
teeth should have.
Film also holds feed substance which
ferments and forms acids. It holds the
acids in contact with the teeth te cause
decay. Germs breed by millions in it.
They, with tartar, are the chief cause
of pyorrhea.
Most teeth troubles are new traced
te film. Despite the teeth brush, all
these troubles have been constantly
increasing. Se dental science has for
years sought ways te fight that film.
Twe ways new found
This research has developed two ef
fective film combatants. They have
been subjected te many careful tests.
The results are beyond any question.
A new-day teeth paste has been per
fected, complying with modern re
quirements. It differs vastly from the
teeth pastes of the past.
These two film combatants are em
bodied in this teeth paste, the name of
which is Pepsedent.
Far-reaching effects
Pepsedent gees wherever the film
rray linger and effectively combats it.
It also keeps teeth highly polished, se
film less easily adheres.
It does three things mere. It multi
plies the salivary flew Nature's great
teeth protecting agent. It multiplies
the starch digestant in the saliva. That
is there te digest starch deposits which
otherwise cling and may form acids.
It multiplies the alkalinity of the
saliva. That is Nature's neutralizer for
the acids which cause decay.
Thus Pepsedent, with every use,
combats the enemies of teeth in five
new, effective ways. Te millions it is
daily bringing whiter, cleaner, safer
teeth.
The most important application is at
night. Fight the film and starch de
posits which may de damage while you
Sleep. Teeth are net clean, net safe,
when these destructive coats are left
en them or between them.
il
What you will see
This ten-day test will bring you new con
ceptions of what clean teeth mean. Note Nete Note
hew clean the teeth feel after using Pepso Pepse
dent. Mark the absence of the viscous film.
See hew teeth whiten as the film-coats dis
appear. The clear results you see and feel will
sufficiently convince you. Our book will tell
you hew they come about.
Watch for ten days what this new method
does. Then judRe for yourself if you and
your people need it.
