And if ic were suspected tnnt he was showing favor te the prisoner, people would con sider him deserving of praise rather than censure for trying te snatch a young and helpless creature from the clutches of a cruel old statute. Besides, was It net one of the higher traditions of the bench that the Judge was first counsel for the accused? Judges had net always ncted en that principle. Seme of them, in times past, had hunted their wretched prisoners gallewswnrd with gibes. Taubman was still like that. lie theueht symnnthv with Kirch Women as Bessln Oellintpr wnn upnfi.

Then he thought of Gell. Whatever Bessie might be, Gell was innocent, and after the girl herself the greatest sufferer. Should he suffer further from nn unfounded suspicion? Ged forbid! It would be his duty as Judge te see that no blubterlng person in court bel lowed accusations which, ence out, might stick te an innocent man for the rest of his natural life. After that he thought of himself. The only risk he ran was from Bessie's de spair. If Gell were falsely accused she might break silence and tell the truth te save him. What u vista! Bessie, Gell, himself, Tenelln ! But no, thnt should net be ! The law was no thumb screw ; u law-court was no torture- chamber, it would be his duty as Judge te protect the girl against any form of legal provocation. Last of nil, with a thrill of the heart, hq thought of Kenelln. She bad drawn him en, constrained and compelled him te premibi! te sit en Bessie's case. But she hud only wished, out of the greutnesi of her pity, te sce thnt the peer girl should have n just trial. She should tee ! It would be his duty as judge te sen te that. "Geed Lord, jes! And what a mercy the case is net coming before Taubman." Thus in the scorching fire of his temptation be tried te stand erect In the belief that he had sunk himself In his high office that beswns ubeut te become the champion nnd first ser vant of justice. But well he knew in his hecret heart that In the fierce strug gle which had been going en within him between the judge and the man, the man had conquered. During the next two days he worked day and night in the library, looking up authorities and verifying references. On the third day he set out in his car for Castletown. Janet saw him off in the inlet of 'early morning. He was very pale; he had eaten scarcely any breakfnsl. She looked anxiously after him until he disappeared behind the trees. There was the odor of fresh earth in the nlr nnd the reeks were calling. It was like nn echo from the past. When he arrived at Castle Rushen there wns n crowd nt the gate, and nil hats were off te him. ns they had been te his father, when he passed through the judge's private entrance. Inside the courtyard, where the steps go up te the public part of the court house, there was nnether crowd nnd n ccrtniif commotion. The police were pushing bnck n tumultuous person who in n mucous voice was demanding te he admitted, nltbegh the place was full. It was Dan Baldremma. CHAPTER XXVIII The Trial Fer u geed hour before the arrival of the Deemster. Castle Uushcn had been full of activity. In the court house itself, wnrm with sunshine from the lantern light, Bebble Stephen, the chief coroner of the island, who looked like n shaggy old sheep deg, had been aeiectlng candidates for the jury box. Seventy-two of them hnd been sum moned, six from each of twelve par ishes, and new he was reducing the number te thirty -two, twelve for the jury and twenty mere te meet the con tingency of arbitrary challenging. Everybody claimed exemption, but the coroner listened te none. Standing bnck te the empty bench, swelling with Importance nnd with bis seventy-two mm huddled together like sheep at one side of the chamber, he cnlled them out at his discretion and with a wave of the hand passed them ever te the ether side te wait for the trial. "New, then, Willie Kinnish, Jheu'rt a geed man: ever with thee." "Ne. no. Mr. Stephen, you must excuse me today, sir." "Tut, tut! Yeu Maug Maug held men haven't sened en u jury I these seven years." "But J have ttfty head of sheep going te Ramsey mart this morning, nnd what's te pay my half year's rent if I'm net there te sell them?" "Chut, man! Lave thnt te herself. She's thy better half, Isn't sue?" Meantime, In the chill corridors un derground the jailer nnd his turnkey were rnttllng their keys, opening the doers of the cells nnd shouting te the prisoners te make ready for the court. "Patrick Kelly! Charles Qulggln ! Nancy Kegeen ! Jehn Corlett ! Caesar Crew! Rebert Qulne! Elizabeth Cor teen!" Hearing her name called, Bessie, having no fear, get up from her plnnk bed, and when Mrs. Mylrea, the wom an warder, with her short, loud, diffi cult breathing, brought buck her clenk and fur hat. she put them en leisurely. "Quick, girl!" said the warder. "Yeu don't wunt te keep the Dempster waiting, de you?" Bessie laughed, but made no answer. At the next moment she was in the darkness of the corridor, walking nt the end of a short precession of ether prisoners, nnd nt the next she wus drawn up. with her prison companions, Inte the blinding sunlight of n little paved quadrangle which was surround ed by high walls nnd hnd the sound of the sen coming down into it from the fiee world outside. By this time the courthouse upstairs wus in u state of yet greater activity. The thirty-two possible jurymen, hav ing reconciled themselves te being "trapped," were standing under the jury box. talking of the weather which wns bringing the crops en rapidly and would increase, the price of curly po tatoes. Inspectors of police were bustling nbeut: Jeshua Senrfr wns lay ing a green portfolio with paper, peii. and Ink. en the bench In front of the Deemster's scarlet armchair, nnd a number of ndverntes Were coming In laughing by n deer which conununl cenununl cnted with their room off fhu ram parts. The last of the ndvecntcs te enter wns Alick Gell. He took a seat Im mediately In front of the empty deck, looking palp nnd worn nnd scarcely able te held the papers which he car ried In his nervous hnnds. A little Inter the Attorney General, who wns te presecute for the Crown, came in with a grave face, followed by old Hudgeon, his junior, with a sour one. And shortly before 11 (the hour ap pointed for the beginning of the trial), n Udy was brought by nn inspector from the deer te the Judge's room nnd seated beside Gell In front of the deck. It was Fenella. Then the outer doers te the court yard were thrown open nnd the public admitted. They rushed nnd tere their way Inte the courthouse, men and women together, talking nnd laughing loudly. The big clock in the castle tower was heard te strike, nnd the In spector, standing near the dais, cried In n loud veice: "Silence In court!" The babel of voices subsided nnd everybody rose who had been seated. Then the Court came In nnd took their seats en the bench of judgment the Governer in his soldier's uniform, nnd Stowell nnd the clerk of the rolls in their Judges', wigs and gowns. It was remarked thnt the new Decmtiter looked 111 mill ulinyl old, A wave of s.wnpnthy went out te him from tlie Hi-"-!. It wns whispered among the spectators Unit he hnd come straight from n sick bed. nnd thnt the Governer Insisted en his presence, saying he must have him "dead or alive." "Corener,, fertru the court." said the Governer, und then e!d Stephen, who had nlrendy tnken hit place in the Corener's bev, raising the pitch of his eice, recited the ancient formula : "I de hereby fence this court In the nnine of our Sovereign Lord the King. I charge thnt no person shnll miorre). bawl or molest the audience, that all persons shall answer te their names when called. I charge this uudlencc te witness that this court Is fenced: I chnrgc this audience te witness thnt thl court is fenced ; I charge this whole audience te witness thnt this court i fenced." Everybody knew that it was for the Deemster te spenk next, but for a sen sible moment he did net de se. Then lie nid, nlmest beneath his breath : "Let the prisoners be brought in."
