It wns Dr. Clucas. who, sent for by Jnnet. had arrived at nallnmenr before Stowell get out of bed in the morning. With closed eyes Stewcll reviewed the situation. It was shocking, hor rible, intolerable. Net for fifty jears had a woman suffered the full pennlt.v of such a crime. He must find some way te prevent it. But after a while n terrible tempta tion came te him. "Why can't I leave things alone?" be asked himself. He had done all he could be expected te de. If the Crown, .acting en the nd vlec of the Governer, refused te exercise Jts prerogative of mercy, what right had he te interfere? It might be best for himself, tee, that the law should take Its course best In the long run. If ltessle's sentence were commuted te Imprisonment what as surance had he that en coming out of prison she would allow him te send her nwny from the Island? On the con trary she might refuse te be banished, and if she found that the blame of her misfortune had fallen en Gell she might tell the truth te free him. What then? He would be a dishon ored man. His position as a Judge would be Imperiled; his marriage with Fenella would be Impossible, and his whole life would crash down te n wel ter of disgrace nnd ruin, llut If Hcs sic were gene there would be no fur ther danger. And after all, It would net be he but the law that had taken her life. "Then why can't I leave things alone?" he thought. He decided te de se, but his decision brought him no comfort. Toward eve ning he get up and went nut te walk In the farmyard. There he met Hebble Creer, who was just home fiem the mill with his bend full of a pitiful story. This story of the old mother's devel oping Insanity rested heavily en Stow Stew ell's heart, and went far te shake his resolution. After a day or two hn began te find his own hbiise and a roil lids haunted. He could net go Inte the library without. Hie kind eyes in his mother s picture following him about the room with a pleading leek. He could net sit In (he dining room nfter dinner with out remembering his week-ends as a student nt law, when his father and he would draw up at opposite cheeks of the hearth, and Hie greut DeemsUr would Inlk of the greut crimes, the grettltrlnlH nnd the great Judges'. llut his worst eideal was with Janet. Net a word of explanation had passed between them, yet he was sure she knew everything. One evening, going Inte her slttlng-roetn. he found her with ntr knitting en her lap, nnd a copy of the Insular newspaper en the tlnet, look ing out en the Inwn with n fur-efT ex pression. That brought memories of another evening when he hnd told her thut no girl op the Island had ever fall en into trouble through him, or ever should de se. "Ah ! Ih that you. Victer? ' she cried, icceverlng heiself and making her needles click, but he had gene, anil Iter voice followed him from the loom. Still wrestling with his temptation te stand aside and let the law lake its course, Hnllamear became Intolerable te him. On the lame excuse of his fort fert nlghlly court In the nerthside town he decided te go te Ramsey, and wnfte te Mrs. Quuyle te get his old looms teady. But going from llulhimear te his chambers was like leaping out of the fire into the furnace. When nc opened n disordered drawer up came the Caa Caa rlctewn portrait of llcsiie Collister like a ghost out of the gloom. When he went for a walk te tire himself for the night his steps Involuntarily turned to ward the pier where the lighthouse had been shattered by lightning. When he returned nnd was putting the key In the lock of hts outer deer he had the ting ling sense of a woman's warm presence behind him. When he pulled down his bedroom blind the broken cord brought n stabbing ine.nery. And when he awoke lu the morning he felt that he had only te open his eyes te ee a girl's luven black hair en the pillow beside him. Hut Mrs. Quajle s presence wns the keenest torment of all. The geed old Methodist moved about him at break fast without speaking, but one morn ing, fumbling with her bonnet strings before going, she snld : "Dcenibter, 'have .ou renmnbeted this ense of Ilclc Collister in your prayers?"
