In Chicago llecord-Herald. )00000000 ; A Fair Chance. .oooooooo IT WAS drowsily warm that day, and though a murder ense was in Itourse of trial at the county seat, it had aroused no particular excitement in the minds of the inhabitants of Willsborougb. The rourtroom hnd jhurdly more than its usual contin gent of idlers and loungers:. For one thing; the case lind no com plications or sensational fentures, And there was nothing sentimentally lintcrcsting in the character of the parties concerned. It was just a coun try fellow, a piny-woodsman, who had killed his step-brother, and then seemed nble to give no explanation Tor his deed but, "Ho deviled me till tl done' it." The two, it appeared, lad liad "words," and suddenly Al plieus White picked tip an adz and struck Jim Jordan a terrible blow on the head that killed him instant ly. The ntep-mother and step-sisters of the accused nnd several of their "kin," witnessed against Al jpheus, nnd bore voluble testimony to the fact that he had always been 'full "f pyore meanness;" whereas, "Jim had been beliked by all that Jcnowed him.' According to them Al jpheus had "a-gredge'1 against Jim for years, had always been jealous of him, and "spited" him whenever he could. '. Alpheus hnd previously borne the ireputntinn of a harmless, peaceable mnn, not "overly bright," but steady nnd sober; yet the fact remained that Tie had killed n, man, seemingly tip on slight provocation. Ho did not attempt to deny his crime, or even to excuse it; appearing dazed into -submission to his fate. There was nothing in his appearance to excite the sympathy of those sentimental eotils who till the cells of murderers with bouquets. He was just a tall, tliin countryman, awkwardly put to gether, with a freckled face, hair al most colorless, and a long, sunburnt neck amply displayed by the turn down collar of his checked cotton ahirt. Only in his pale, blue eyes there was a sad, puzzled, rebuffed look one sees in the eyes of some poor homeless dog that everybody kicks mid abuses and drives away. The case bad been one easily dis posed of. The lawyer appointed by the court had pleaded somewhat lukewarmly, the causa of murder. Then followed the district attorney, who referred to the prisoner ns a fratricide, likened him to Cain, and became eloquently impassioned upon the duty of conviction. ' The jury retired to deliberate. Alpheus sat with his chin sunken upon his breast, in a sort of mental and physical torpor. The wind brought warm puffs of perfume through the windows from the bloom ing China trees in the courtyard; a slow oxwagon crawled creakily along XIain street, and some pigs grunted and sen filed in the dust. "It's astonishing how near being animals those piny-woods people are," whispered the district attorney to .another lawyer. "That fellow is ac tually too dull and dense even when his life hangs in the balance." l'ut Alpheus wns not quite so dull and dense. He did not know what fratricide meant, however, he under stood dimly that the district attorney had been "talkin' agin him." A A vague thought came to his mind 'that if he had money or influence, tilings might go easier with hltn. The deliberation of the jury did not last long. At the verdict, "Guilty," a sort of murmur ran around the room; for there must always be a moment of emotion in henring sentence of death pronounced even upon the most in significant of human beings. , The prisoner still remained seated. Some one took him by the arm and helped him up, and as he stumbled to his feet he spoke for the first time that day. "I nuver hed a fair chanRt," he said aloud in the queer, jerky drawl of the piny-woods. It had a comical sound nnd some one tittered in spite of the solemnity of the occasion. I "Did you ever see a convicted man j twho thought he had had a fair trial?" j one lawyer asked another. i But Alpheus had bad no thought f a fatr trial wtn ha apolra; h wonld not hare known a fair trial from an unfair one. ' i Hit mind bad gone far, far back to jthe days of his childhood, to tha , little mud-chinked log . cabin in the j clearing where he had Uved with his istner and mother. He remembered his thin, sickly mother, who worked so hard and had so many aches and pains, yet was nevertheless always "kind-spoken. There were many little mounds in a rude inclosure which, in a more civilized region would have been considered none too good to serve as a pig pen, for of all the children she had borne, Alpheus alone survived. His father, too, was kind to him, and when he took his cotton into town, in the autumn, would bring Alpheus a stick of "striped candy." Hut the mother died, and after trying to "do for himself, Alpheus' father brought home the widow Jor dan with her noisy, quarrelsome brood of children. She took a dislike to Alpheus at first sight. It was not Alpheus at first' sight. It was not jealousy with her conrse, buxom good looks, she would have thought she had no occasion to be jealoOB of her sickly, faded predecessor, or any of her belongings but she de clared that the "young 'en was jes too pizen ugly to live; as ugly as a jailer nigger dog." As she and all her progeny were black-haired and bhtck-eyed, Alpheus' tow head was naturally not admired by her. He slunk out of her sight as much as possible, but she quickly appointed him the drudge of the family. "Mary Uelle," she would say, "don't you spile your skin over that lire. Alpheus has got to stir that pot." Or, "Here, you Alpheus, do you think I'm goin' to let my Jim break his back totin' them buckets o' water from the springs?" Alpheus' father had at first tried feebly to protect him; but he wus a weak-minded man, easily reduced to submission by his loud-tongucd wife, and though he might pity his son in secret, he durcd not ruise his voice to defend him. The Jordans were all better looking nnd quickerwitted than Alpheus, and they were not slow to make him feel this; tormenting him in various ways. "He ain't none o' our kin," they would explain to visitors. Jim, who was the nearest his age, was especially malevolent in his de vices for the discomfiting of Alpheus. The only time Alpheus had ventured to resent Jim's aggressions, his step mother's heavy fist had hammered into him the wisdom of suffering in silence. As their mother made n drudge of him, so the young Jordans made him the butt of their clumsy ridicule. It was Jim who gave him the name of "Fiddleneck" by which he became known throughout that piny woods settlement. The rural sense of the appropriate was tickled by the title. "Don't it jes' hit off that long, red neck o' his'n!" exclaimed Abrum Heechby. "Jim shore is the fellow to give names that sticks." Yet Alpheus was a good, harmless creature, who would have asked noth ing better than to live on kindly terms with his step-relations. As he grew older the settlement had no definite grievance against him; but when one is shy and awkward it is easy to get the reputation of being "sullen-like" and the second Mrs. White spared no words to make it believed that her stepson was "hard to get along with." H. Shortly nfter Alpheus reached man hood his father died, and the larger part of the little farm fell to his share. Mrs. White was indignant thnt the law gave her only a third, and, in fact, went into hysterics when she learned that the whole farm was not to lie hers. "Oh, my po' paltry thirds!"sbe ejaculated, with tears of wrath. "If this uin't on jest, there never was on jestice in the world. Here's me that's worked like a nigger on this place, an' done for that man year in an' year out, an wore myself out tryin' to raise his brat flttm'--an' here I'm put off with thirds!" Hut the law Is law. Alpheus glad ly gave up the cabin to his step mother, and built himself another ns far removed as possible from the old one. He began to plant on his own account, and became modestly successful, owing to his industry. All of which did not endear him to the Jordans. Jim had also reached man's estate, and in gala attire, profusely scented with "cinnamon draps," with his black, curly hair well oiled, he vus a typical piny-woods lady-killer. In addition, he was a hard drinker, a poker player, and an idler In short, thoroughly worthless; but his mother and sisters admired him greatly as a dashing blade. Alpheus' nearest neighbors were the Millers new people who had lately moved in from an adjoining county. Moses Miller, who was as quiet and hard-working as Alpheus, hnd made the young man's acquain tance in the course of their plowing and planting, and they soon became friends. Moses had au only daugh ter, Linda, not pretty, but with a pleasant comeliness, and gentle, kind ly ways that suggested goodness of heart. The probable thing hap pened: Alpheus fell in love with Lin da, and began to court her in a bash ful way. Linda, who had no "high notions," looked favorably upon him, land all seemed to point towards an everyday ending to this humble love story. When Jim Jordan heard the news, he "mos 'split his sides a-laughln' " as he expressed It. "The idee o' that old sneak, Fiddle :neck, co'tin' a gall" he cried, slapping hia leg. "Darned if I don't tail ia an' cut him out." FCTT m M ODUBiFr Like t'ic running brook, the up I.Kit flows t come through irorn Am was prompt to act.

In response to his pious words, Alpheus still mumbled his one plaint, ' "I nuver hed a fair chanst. I "But put all that behind you, poor sinner!" cried the minister, "put it behind you like the rest of life. Ke pent, and look forward to the life eternal." "Yes, I'm sorry I killed Jim, but lomehow I dunno" Alpheus thought and words trailed off confusedly in to silence. The minister was with Alpheus to the last, exhorting, consoling and en couraging; and Alpheus learned to cling to him as a child in passing through a dark place would cling to ia friendly hand. Something of the consolation the minister tried to bring home to him penetrated his dull mind, and his formless ideas slowly shaped themselves into the words: "Beckon if I'd always knowed 'bout glttin' a fair chanst Over Yan der, I wouldn't 'a minded so much missin' it here." In which, without knowing it, Al pheus acquiesced in the words of the philosopher that "in order to en dure this life it is necessary to Imagine another."
