croucneu !clown, a ceuckfe of Imbecile
laughter dribbling through his lips. Then
an iron hand fell on Mar's nenk. "What
are you doing, Bolzito Sartane?" said the
deep voice• of John Revell.
Mar turned with a savaga cry and strug-
gled furiously to free himself. Ho was
stroug and lithe as a serpent. but he was
held by the strength of a Lion. The struggle
lasted but for a few breathless minutes.
Re-vell forced him- down, aud, with his knee
upon his breast, disarmed him of the knife
couceseled in his side. Then he flung him off
and confronted him sternly.
"I knowyour history," said he. "This is
note a safe place for you. God sent. me to
protect this girl. I fought you and your
wretched victim there with your own wea-
pons. Now, be off, or I will show you no
more consideration than you meant to show
him—and herr
"But she is dead!" snarled the other, gasp-
ing and shivering.
"No, she lives," replied Revell, "aud her
lifo in future will be safe from any influence
except what comes from her owieheart and
Awake, Judith," he continued, beck-
oning to the sleeping girl. "The trouble is
past. You are free."
She eighed, moved, unclosed her eyes and
slowly raised herself on one aral. Her glance,
at first bewildered. finally rested on Revell,
and with a smile she rose and came to him.
He put one arm round her shoulders and so
faced the defeated enemy. But he, by what-
ever name he might he known, seemed to
dread the regard of her eyes more than the
power of man. There must have becu the
remnant or something human in him. He
covered his face and slunk back into the
shadow of the room. They did not see him
pass the threshold, but when Revell revived
the light of the lanip he was gone. -
The storm pas.sed away during the night,
and the morning was as fresh and pure as a
naaiden's soul. Walking along the dimpling
margin of the blue sea, Judith aud her lover
came to the grove of cedars. The largest of
them had been struek by a lightning holt
aud was spilt from summit to base, and the
headstone: of the grave was shat. ..J.
And there lay the body of a man. seem-
ing to wear the features of Mar. Yet the
face was that of an aged man, with griz-
zled hair and furrowed skin. He was.
dead but there was no mark of death upon
him. Perhaps he had died long befere, or
perhapsthe vision of an unatta int ed !eve had
smitten him with the death to which eouees
no hereafter.
PRYOR'S BLACK BOOK.
By Elmer Dane.
HEN Robert Pryor,
accompanied by his
fair young bride, es-
tablished himself in
the town of Wichville
to practice law, he did
so with the idea firmly
rooted in his mind that
to attain power and
success he must thor.
oughly arquaint
, self with the lives and
characters of his fel-
low -citizens, as well as become thoroughly
versed in the lore of his profession.
In addition, then, to the Index Rerum,
which was to contain notes of decisions,
citations to authorities, and different legal
points as he shoukl chance upon thorn end
deem them valuable, he determined to pro-
cure a book which should be nnique after
its kind, and serve the other purpose of con-
taining notes upon mea
Accordingly he had the book -binder make,
after his instructions, a large, thick volume,
the pages of which were divided int() separ-
ate blank spaces, each to be devoted to the
record of one individual. Inasmuch as the
accumulations of facts contained would be
likely to make the book valuable, the cover
was made of sheet iron, encased in black
leather, aud the edges were protected by
iron plates; this to preserve it iu case of fire.
It was secured by a combination lock, and
havieg a desk built for it in one corner of
his private offiee, the lawyer had chained it
to the wall; thus none but ho could read it,
and 4 would have been difficult for anyone
to steal it. Cs
Besiness progressed fairly with him from
the start. He tried to keep up with his
profssion, read and studied- persisteetly the
(t
first few years, and his legal notebook,'
the !Index Rerum, showed signs of his
researches. But gradually the other_ book
engrossed his time and thoughts. He 'found
the occupation of sifting the lives of men
and discovering their secrets so fascinating
that ,he finally became devotefl to it. He
would open the Black Hoek when atone and
glort over the pages that contailled so many
dark j records.
How many men were there whose Hefei and
reputh-tions he held in his grasp! How niany
women, now presiding over proud and happy
homes, whom he could confouud and blast
forayer by flasleing the light from hiri book
upon some sin of their past!
There was hardly a family in the cocnnaue-
ity whose skeleton in the closet he had not
unearthed. There was scarcely one business
man, searcely one professional mare—not
even . among ministers of the gospoi—in
whose lives had not taken place scene trans-
actions, which he knew, and which could
not bear the light of day.
The lawyer did his work thoroughly. He
did not content himself with rumors, reports,
hearsay evidence; he *as satisfied only with
absolute proof. And no gossip hada keener
scent for scandal, no detective had greater
skill to ferret out a clue, no artificer had
more, patience in building up his structure,
no priest more success in inducing the peni-
tent to lay bare hie soul in the confessional
than did Lawyer Pryor. Wheu he noted
down a fact, he gave tho particulars in de-
tail, and made a memorandum as to how
and by whom each circumstance could be
proved. He allowed no chance for mistake.
His record,- were terrible but true.
What object had. he in view! He did not
know himself:the occupation had simply be-
come a mania with him.
Yet it did give him power, the power barn
of fear. There was not a man in the Com-
munity more dreaded than he. 'When he
spoke no one was listened to with greater
respect or less enthusiasm. The people col-
lectively did not know' the rause of his
power, the rea.son for their fears; but each
individual inwardly felt that this man's
fevor it would he well to court.
If there ever arose anything that he wish-
ed them to do, he would privately drop them
a hint which made them tremblingly obev.
He sometimes ueed his power to feed his
appetite; he would use the secret of one
man's life to wrest from him the kudededge
he had of auother's
He could have held any office in the gift of
that public-, had he so desired. He preferred
to be the deus ox cathedra, the power behind
the throne. Once only did he accept office.
For one term he was prosecuting attorney_
His eross-questioning -was so feared that
the terrified criminals prefered to plead
guilty and throw themselves on the mercy
of the court than to be excoriated by him. He
declined reelection because he disliked
publicity. But if any calediciato wished to
be sure of success, all he had to do was to se-
cure the support of Lawyer Pryor, which,
however, the latter was rather chary of giv-
ing.
If a close observer would have kept watch
of the snits in which Pryor was engaged, he
would have noted that very few of them
came to trial: they were settled or com-
promusea out' ot court. -He never exacted
money for his silence; he never blackmailed
anyone. No people could be exactly sure
as to what he did know concerning thorn,
but he would make thein understand that he
knew enough, and the uncertainty, the very
_mystery of it vrou d make them fear to cross
him.
Ho used his powpr far from maliciously.
A great many acts of reparation and restitu-
tion were brought about by his quiet but

bent so as to suggest an
tion point. -When he en -
he course of business his
always that of inquiry:
you?" He would, as it
were, tap his !finerr on every breast and,
looking into the oyes as if to pierce the very
soul, mentally ask` ''What have you here?
What have you hid away in your heart that
you think no eye shall see?"
Strange as it May seem, he led another life
in connection with this.. His domestic life
ran along in a smooth and tranquil stream
side by side with, the murky waters of
hia professional ekistence. He had separ-
ated ono entirely from the other.
When he entered the door of hie home, he
became a different man. , In the bosom of
his family, by the ide of his family, by the
side of his wife stil young and still beautiful,
whom he loved witlh the undiminished fervor
of his youth, whor i he called an angel and
still believed to be so; surrounded by his
children, healthy-, happy, and bright, he re-
verted to his natural kindlier self. His wife
was a thoroughly! .domestic woman. She
knew nothing, sr eared nothing about
all
his business. She enjoyed the comforte
and leaury that i moderate Wealth could
] i
procure, and, ' croiwned seal the love of
husband ancl. eblildren, her heart was
content. Horne mild its joys supplied the
needs of friendship to Pryor. , He had no
friends. His presitilon in the pnifessional and
business worldi id not invite friendship; fear
does not inspirft it. I Soi there was no one to
warn him of dangeir.
The good in meni fade:l out of his know-
ledge: the evil in Mankind assumed undue
proportions in his mind. The ono fault hs
the best inen's lives became to him the sym-
bol of their character. This morbid View of
hulk -lenity never teMpted him to do any of
the sins he save co:nu:bitted by others. He
was always objectilve, he 'lever focused the
lenses threugh,whO ho gazed upon himself.
He was always the l cynical, sueerins; specta-
tor. Ho was the stirgeon who with unerring
hand drove the prop° to the caneor-sliot.
His clerk had a duriosity about the Black
nook. Once' Frye* forgot to lock it, as he
stepped out of his Office. Ho was gone but a
moment, but A gasle the clerk time to take a
peep and see enough to enable him to right-
ly conjectureits use. The clerk had
a friend, /anI Iiis friend had other
friends; and it. ,I was not long until
the entire towel had heard of it. And when
men would tease e ch other about their mis-
deeds, then wo ld jokingly cite quotations
from Lawyer 'rye r's Black Beek.
It was at thi tinie that the Conclusion to
this tale was b ought about. '
It was nee Reiji close of day. Lawyer
Pryor locked t o (Thor of his private office
and started fo lionie. As he walked along,
bending over in his iuquisitorial way
he encountere 4everal strangers'', new
residents. T e qd query reverted to
him, and start- • aitrain of musiugs which
so absorbed h ne that he was before his
own door ere h kneiv it. At the threshold
stood his wife .sni'lling a loving welcome.
Before he coulc re live it that question with
its full power f d4tmuatlon had sprung to
his lips, and he wam laying his 'finger on her
heart and aski g, 'What secret have you?"
Had she a se ,7ret from hini, this woman/
who for 20 yea a h d reigned in his home
and ruled his I ear4! Could IS be that there
was something in her life that She concealed
from himf Th's relish of intolerable thoughts
staggered hirre ho ijeeled forward and almost
fell into her ar His kiss was cold, though
his breath alm t s rched her cheek.
"What is the ma ter, Robert/ Are you
ill?" she inquir d w'th fond anxiety.
"Nothing. o, m not ill," he muttered,
and pushed pas he. She followed him won-
dering. He en ere the sitting room where
his children w re. His eldest daughter sat
by the windo wing, she sprang up to
greet him a d hen returned to her
work. He looked t her fiercely, so young
and so tender, leco ning more like her moth-
er every day hou d he allow her to become
exposed to the orl , perhape to be stained
by its sin, or ou d he rather slay her on
the spot, like hat Roman Father of old?
,
His boysthey lad .eenfed so steady and hon-
est hitherto, w uld they deceisie him as they
grew older, an mo -k his carewith wrong-
doing and en le? This little one, his
baby, who cijispe her arms around his
neck, and wa te her "Dada to play

nocently eirc1eI a ound some) one worthy
of her "Fe.ueli!" he put the child down,
despite her er es. The harpies had got
his door. The fin es of Hell pOssessed his
soul. He woulc ea • no supper, and paced
around the roo4m li o a caged animal, His
children were frig tened; his wife put her
arms up to him and again asked him if he
was siok.
"Leave me alme, can't you," was his gruff
reply.
"Oh! Robert' sh cried, aud hurt beyond
measure, retired wi bin herself. It was the
first time in all thei marital experience that
he had harshly used her, and she knew not
what to make ot it. Her silence now aggra-
vated his suspic ons and made his unreason
worse than ev r. He left the house and
wandered about t e streets until late at
eight. When he returned he could not
sleep becauee Of the torment. He went to his
office in tile :nor ling without exchang-
ing, the customer_ farewells with his
wife. All that • y there kept ringing
through his h "What secret has she?
s she f" Darkness
liThat secret
was slowly sotti g . ver his soul. His clerk
afterwards estiled hat he behaved like a
madman. In t e a ternoon bol could stand
it no longer. " wi I not be balked in this.
Others have yie ded up their secrets to we,
and I will see if I c nnot wrest hers from
her." i .
Full of this ur ,oso, he rushed home.
Wild-eyed and f en ied. he asked the fright-
ened children w ere their mother was.
"In her room. , ' th y said. She was lying,
on her bed, her yes swollen with weeping -7
"You must tel me!" he -mauled. "What
is that you Illave col ccaleld from me, what
secret have ytu 1 nen carrying in your
heart!" He ser ed 1 or hand and violently
Made her stand.
"Oh, Robert!' sh exclaimed, trembling
and terrifieds"N hat do You mean?"
"Answer me, tnss er me. Don't prevari-

what is the secret y ii have concealed from

"Robert, oh, Robe t! Nothing -1 have I kept
from you. What des it all mean? Robert,
my husband!" slie in plored, sinking to her
knees.
"Onoe again, will ou tame?"' he demand-
ed, andstood threat4ningly aboVe her.
"As God is my ju go, I have nothing to
tell!" she reiterated, and began to weep bit-
terly. 1
"You lie, woman,' he hissed i through his
teeth. "You shall n ver see me again!"
"Robert!" ate fair y shrieked; "y-bu shnill
not go."
She bad swing n g kim and Woulad kor

her off, and bruised her tender flesh in more
than ono spot, but she clung to him.with all
the desperation of a loving woman, con-
stantly crying and beggiug him to listen.
"Robert., ltob et, you must toll me. What -
horror is this f 'Ate husband, what fiend has
itectiss I inef What can it moan! Oh,
l leaven help Inc! iberi, Robert, in the
Immo of our children, hear me!"
She filially was successful. His strength
suddenly forsook him, and he fell sobbing at
her feet. She knelt by him, and supporting
his head on her broest. ceressed aad ce:nfort-
lel him as if he were achild.
When he had quieted down, sufficiently,
she said: "Now, my darling, you must tell
me what it is all about."
And, overcome by shame and remorse, he
told her all.
"Oh, Robert," she cried, when he had cone
eluded, "and all these years that serpent has.
beon circling closer and closer, drawing its
folds.a.bout our love and home, until now it
has almost crushed us!"
"Yes, my angel," he said, "still my guard-
ian angel! and if you had not clung to me
like a true wife as you did, e; would have
done so!"
"And now Rob," she said, "do you know
what you must do? You must destroy that
• Black Book, and effaces all knowledge of its
oontents from your mind."
"What, the labo.- f life! Yes, yes,
you areright, always right. I_ will destroy.
the Black Book. remove my office, destroy
all old associations, and try to restore that
faith in humanity without which I now rea-
lize, every happiness is some time or other,
bound to fail."
ff carried out his resolutions thoroughly
sue cheerfully. Husband and wife that
evening wont to the office together, arm in
arm. He kindled a rearing fire in the grate.
As he tore out the leaves from the Black
nook one by one, she fed them to the flames.
She breathed a prayer over each somber
page, asking that as the record of sin vanish-
ed is smoke so might the guilt be purged
from the heart of the sinner. And as the
weightof the book grew less, the heart of
her husband grew lighter. .
- When all was done;she stood up and look-
ed at him inquiringly.
ttNot one regret, my love. Not one regret,"
he answered. "I stand before you &rescued
soul."
"Oh! how -glad I am," she said, and they
went home together as happy and gay as the
youngest et young lovers.
"Whew!" the clerk gave a long whistle.
On the floor lay the empty shell of the
Black Book, in the grate was a heap of
ashes. His astouishment was increased
when his employer came in, walking erect
and looking as cheery as a beam of sun-
shine.
"Dust off the books, open the windows,
end brighten things up as much as you cin
for to -day. In the meantime I will hunt up
a new location ter onr office."
The townspeople shared the clerk's amaze-
ment, anti never ceased to wonder at the
change that had come over Lawyer Pryor.
Ile set about making friends. The destruc-
tion of his Black Book was published through
the same channels that its existence became
known. The whole town seemed to heave a
sigh of relief after hearing this, and men
were eager to become friends of him whom
they had once secretly feared. Pryor seem-
ed to have become suddenly rejuvenated.
Nothing ever disturbed.his home again. To
his wife be gave the credit of its preserva-
tion. The idndly faith in humanity which
he acquired and practiced caused him to lose
nothing. In the community in which he
lived, he found that he atilt retained his
power and influence, but the scepter of fear
in his hand had been succeeded by the scept-
er of love.

The Thirteen Children of George
MacDonald.
About twenty years ago George MacDon-
ald went to the United States, and during
his stay lectured in Boston. He had with
him his wife and one son; and the three
were guests of Mr. Janies T. Fields. Not
long after, a lady met them in a different
part of the country, to whom Mrs. Mac-
Donald said thst it had been reported that
her husband, herself, and thirteen children
had been staying at Mr. Fielda', and that
the story had given her a great de.a.I of amuse-
ment.
She then laughingly explaived how it
came about. Some one had aeked Mr. Mac-
Donald how many children he had, to which
he had replied. " The number is the wrong
side of twelve." They had eleven; but the
questioner had taken it for granted he meant
thirteen. There had been further taking it
for granted that all had come over with
their parents ; and lastly, that all had tieen
guests together in the hospitable home of
the genial publisher.—A. B. H.
