branded a felon It will kill her."
Ho turned abruptly and left her. In
a moment Blvens cumo out and led
his wlfo to a seat which had been re
served near his.
One of the things which had Increas
ed Blvens' nervousness was tho fact
that tho Judgo Ignored his presenco In
tho courtroom. IIo had been accus
tomed to deference from judges. This
Judge was a man with red blood In
Ills veins, a man of lntcnso personal
UkoR and dislikes nnd a fearless dis
penser of what be belloved to bo even
handed Justice under the law.
Tho young lawyer sat In silence be
side tho bowed for.m, awaiting his case
which tho judge, at his request, had
placed last. As tho moment drew near
for the plea his nervo tension grow in
tense. Waves of passionate emotion
swept bis heart Uo waked from his
day dream with a start to hear the
clerk read In qulok tones:
Tuo people against Ilenry Wood
man." The Judge looked at tho dazed pris
oner and said:
"What have you to say, IlenryWood
man, why sentence should not bo Im
posed upon you for tho crime of which
you stand convicted by your own
pleaV"
With a quick movement of his tall
llgiire Stuart was on his feet, every
nerve and muscle strung to' tho high
est tension. Only tho deep, tremulous
notes of his voice betrayed his emotion.
"May It please your honor," ho slowly
began. "I wish to establish to the court
before I say anything In behalf of my
client tho Important fact that ho of
fered to make full restitution of tho
property taken, thnt ho did this volun
tarily before he was even suspected of
the crime and that his offer was re
fused." Tho Judge lifted his gray eyebrows In
surprise, and settled back Into his sent
with a low grunt
"I mako the fair Inference therefore
in tho beginning," Stuart went on
t
"Two men aro on trial, not ono."
evenly, "that tho prosecutor In tho
caso la actuated solely by a desire for
personal vengeance."
Stuart paused and Blvcns moved un
easily In his Beat.
"I spoate today, your honor, In behalf
Df tho man -echo crouches by my side
overwhelmed with ehamo and grief
and conscious dishonor because ho took
a paltry pactngo ot jewelry Com a
man who has never added ono penny
to too wealth of tho world nnd yot has
somehow gotten, possession of 000 hun
dred million dollars from thoso who
tould not defend themselves from his
strength and canning. This man stands
beforo you now with no shame in his
souL no tears an bis checks, and with
brazen effrontery demands vengeance
on a weaker brother.
"Two men aro on trial, not one. Tho
majesty of tho law has already been
vindicated In tho tearf stained plea
that has boon entered. Botwoen these
two men tho crxirt most decide.
"This mrttionalro who demands
vengeance agnln&t this broken man to

and wields a aocptcr mightier than

each year mOMoos of taxes without
consuitlne this court, tho legislature
or any man wno walks tho earth, no
docs this by a machlno for printing
paper toteeua of value called stocks.
Tho osoenco of theft Is to tnko tho
property of another without giving a
return, A green goods man sells
printed paper fix money. This mighty
man also sells printed paper for
money. Whet b tho difference?
Neither tho green goods nor tho bogus
capital called watered stock represents
a dollar tn real vuroo.
This modern marauder whom wo
have- enthroned as our ruler every
where, from every one, seizes, tears
and dcepc4k3 tho fruits of toll, has
never added a penny to tho wealth of
human! tp. And what do vo Ond him
dorng? In tho midst of poverty that
means hunger and nakedness, disease
and death, vo have tho e homeless
flaunting of fnecno luxury. And to
what porpoflcl To challenge tho envy
of tho vttn and tho foolish, to dazzle

"Do wo boiieye that each things are
tho decrees of a Jost and loving God
who created thia world? Tbeso things
arc not thft result orcis Itnv. bur tho
results of tho violation of law."
The speaker paused, drew close to
the Judgo and then In low, Impassioned
tones told as If bo were talking to n
father tho story of Woodman's life nnd
tho ovents which drove him to madness
on tho fatal night of his crime. In
flashes of vivid eloquence ho described
the magnificent ball and drew In som
ber, heartbreaking contrast tho desola
tion and despair of a proud and sensi
tive man made desperate by want nnd
ruin, the man who had given his blood
to bis country nnd his daily life In an
unselfish ministry to tho homeless and
friendless.
"I do not ask of your honor," he
cried In ringing tones, "tho repeal of
tho law against theft thou shalt not
stcall I only ask tho suspension of
its penalty on this heartbroken man
until we can extend it to his oppressors
ns well, until its thunder shall also
echo through tho palaces of tho rich
thou shalt not steal!
"Tho man who has fallen was weak 1
and poor. Tho man who demands his
Ufo Is rich and powerful. I ask for n
heartbroken man another chance. 1
ask this court to suspend all sentence
against the poor bruised and bleeding
spirit' that lies in tears at our feet
today."
Tho Judgo wheeled in his armchair,
cleared his throat and looked out of the ',
window to hldo from tho crowd a
tear that had stolen down his furrowed
check.
IIo turned at length to Blvens' law
yers nnd qul5tly asked:
"Tho state Insists on tho enforcement
of sentenco without mercy?"
"Absolutely," was the shnrp answer.
"This Is your desire, Mr. Blvens?"
tho Judge asked with some severity.
"Yes," tho financier fiercely replied.
"And yot you say that you aro a
Christian. Well, see to It Tour Mas
ter says:
"'lie that salth I love God and
hatcth his brother is a liar.' Henry
Woodman, stand up! Tho Judgment
of this court Is that sentenco in your
case 1)0 suspended so long as you obey
tho law.
"And I may say to you, Ilenry
Woodman, that my faith Is profound
that you will never appear In this
court again. And if you over need the
help of a friend you'll And ono If you
come to me. You uron free man."
Stuart hurried tho doctor out of tho
crowd. lie had Important work yet
to do. IIo determined that no story
of the scene should over be printed In
a Now York paper. Ho would save
Harriet that too.
As tho court adjourned Blvens curs
ed bis lawyers In a paroxysm of help
less rage. Then ho suddenly throw
his hand to his forehead, staggered
and sank to tho floor.
A doctor who was near rushed to his
side nnd lifted his head into his wife's
arms.
"What Is It? Has ho fainted, doc
tor?' sho whispered, glancing toward
tho door through which Stuart had
Just passed.
"Ho lias had a stroke of paralysis,
madam, I fear," was tho answer.
Stuarf s appeal to tho Now York pa
pers In behalf of Harriet was success
ful. For a week ho bought every
morning and evening edition and read
them eagerly. Not n lino appeared to
darken 'tho life of his Uttlo paL
Blvcns' Illness shook the financial
world. Tho men who had professed
their friendship most loudly to his face
now sharpened their knives for his
wounded body. 'Every stock with
which his name was linked was tho
target of tho most savage attacks.
Tho tumbling of values tn his securi
ties carried down tho whole market
from five to six points in a slnglo day.
Tho groat palace that had a few
nights before blazed with lights and
echoed with music, laughter, song
and danco and clinking glasses, stood
dark and silent behind its bristling
iron fence.
Within tho darkened palaco the
doctors were supremo. In his great
library they hold consultation after
consultation and eocretly smiled when
they thought of tho figures thoy would
tvrito on his bills. They disagreed in
fetalis, but all agreed on tho main
conclusion that tho only hope was
that bo should quit work and play for
several years.
When they made this solemn an
nouncement to Blvens, ho smiled for
tho first time. It was too good a
Joke. How could ho play? Ho know
but ono game, tho big game of tho
man hunt! Ho told his doctors he
would go to Europe and oco If there
were doctors over there who knew
anything.
Tho shaking, mlserablo Uttlo Qguro
staggered up tho gangplank of a
steamer. Ho made a bravo chow of
strength to tho reporters who
swarmed about him for an mtervlow
and coUapsed in tho arms of his wife
on reaching his state rooms.

account of Woodman in tho presenco
of tho Great Terror, whoso shadow
had suddenly darkened tho world.
Tho young lawyer bad Bald goodby
to Nan with a eenso of profound re
lief. From tho bottom of his soul ho
thanked God sho was going away.

FIRES TORPEDOES
Fl
Naval Officer's Invention Is a
Marvel of Ingenuity.
OFFICIALS ENTHUSIASTIC.
A Swoop From tho Sky, and Missile Is
Sent on Its Way, Dropping From Air
Craft at High Speed Naval. Guns of
Present Day Cannot Be Trailed on
Aeroplane When Going Swiftly.
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Flsko, un
til recently In command of tho first di
vision of the Atlnntlc fleet, now ou
duty as aid for operations In tho navy
department at Washington, has Invent
ed an apparatus which Is believed to
make possible the firing of submarine
torpedoes from aeroplanes. The devlto
can be fitted to any type of aeroplane.
Naval officers who have seen the
model In tho patent office in Washing
ton are enthusiastic over the possibili
ties of the Flake Invention ns a means
of defense.
The torpedo which the aeroplane at
tachment is designed to discharge may
bo of any of the standard types nnd
is carried In cliocks on tho bottom or
lower frame of the aeroplane. A strap
connected with tho aeroplane passes
below the torpedo, holding It, and Is
then again connected with the operat
ing part of the aeroplane proper. The
torpedo is hold rigidly In place, its bow
pointing in tho same direction as tho
airship. Tho projectile 'is released by
a lever apparatus operated bythe foot
of the aviator, the torpedo falling hori
zontally out of the chocks Into the wa
ter nnd then speeding on its way to
the ship ngainst which it is nimed.
How Torpedo Is Directed.
In directing and delivering the at
tack tho naval aviator Mies at a com
paratively high altitude to n point
about l.COO yards dlBtaut from tho tar
got. IIo then swoops downward at a
high rate of speed and ns nearly ver
ically as possible until within ten or
fifteen feet of tho water, directing his
flight so that on reaching the desired
low elevation tho bow of the torpedo
bears on the target. The aviator then
throws his lever which stirts the pro
pelling mechanism in the torpedo, aft
er which the projectile drops into the
water nnd thereafter performs its
work.
Tho advantages of tho FIske inven
tion are that tho torpedo is held firm
ly to the airship and practically be
comes a part of it so that the direct
ing of tho aeroplane toward tho tar-
pet also directs the torpedo. It Is sus
pended In tho position which It as
sumes In the' water that is, horizontal
and retains that position after being
released. Tho- releasing devlco Is un
der tho control 6f tho aviator at ali
times.
The advantage of approaching the
target at a relatively high elevation
and then rapidly descending to a lower
ono before roloaslng tho torpedo Is,
supposing tho target to bo a battle
ship, that it is practically Impossible
with present day naval giuns to hit an
object falling from n great height ow
lng to tho resulting chnngo In range
nnd tho coasequent elevation of the
guns.
Advantages of Invention.
The advantages obtained by proceed'
lng to within about 1,500 yards of the
enemy are that the chances of tho tor
pedo getting homo aro increased and
the aeroplane is able to carry torpc
does of lighter than ordinary weight
since torpedoes designed for long
ranges are much heavier than those
fired at shorter distances.
While the Flsko Invention Is attract
lng tho attention of naval officers here
nnd abroad, there comes news of still
another wonderful Invention, the ob
Ject of which Is to protect war vessels
from torpedo attack. This invention
is of Gormen origin. It Is an "llluinl
nated shell" loaded with calcium car
bide. Tho shell is flrod in tho usual
way.
On striking tho water the shell sinks
a few feet and tho water, entering the
'shell through apertures, sets up chem
ical action which generates gas, tho
resulting buoyancy driving the shell
back to tho surface, after which the
gas la automatically Ignited, shedding
an equal light over a largo area. The
light is equal to 8,000 candle power
and will burn for an hour. Tho object
of tho inventor is to surround a battle
ship at night with these illuminated
shells, thus rendering practically lm
possible the unobserved npproach of
torpedo craft of all types-
