What hare you to say for yourself, you rulHan. before I have you put in irons and locked up?" "Ton saw the blow, Dr. Sullivan?" "You dare to ask me?

"It's a lie." said a hollow voice from foe ground. And a bloodthirsty eye covered Tom. ;TIa. my boy! Think God, you are no worse. But sit still end leave thi dog to me.

IVSST glared at Tom and ouly went at his nod. The tacit interchange brought Nat to a sitting posture witl doubled fists. -"I was ordering ber thero myself he vowed. "I had found her prowli about." "A brazeu baggage!- cried Dr. Sal livan. "Not another female will I ever apply for. They are ten times wors? than the men. So you thought he was going to strike her, did you? Anything else, I wonder?" . "Nothing that you will believe, but he was at the bottom of a plot to get me Cogged for nothing. He had bribed two of the men to steal those saddles that you see and put it on me, but 1 followed them and had got your property back when at the gate here'' ' I'II stop his lies!" said Nat and staggered to bis feet, but tho doctor pinned him by the arm. "You will not! You will leave bira to me," said the father sternly. He was the stronger man. The son stood quelled. "We know they're lies," the doctor added. "All convicts are liars. Have any two men been out of the lsuts tonight. Roberts!!" "Not one 5r out of the hut. X can

"It makes no matter." said Dr. Su livan. gripping his son's arm stil "The saddles are not the point. I sa the blow and shall inquire into noting else. The blow, you ruffian, yo shall answer for tomorrow before tb nearest magistrate. Now take hir; away. Clap him in the heaviest iron we've got. Come, make hastel Lei me" see him in front of me!" So Tom was led off, unresisting stil! but scornfully silent now, between watchman and overseer, and the fathes stalked and the son slouched behind. CHAPTER XVIII. rHE nearest magistrate was an Anglo-Indian of the name of Strachan, another employer of k convict labor on a large scale and a disciplinarian second only to Dr Sullivan himself. The two were close friends and indispensable to each other In certain ways. Both, in fact, were magistrates, but no magistrate was competent to deal Judicially with bisown offending convicts, and thus an Interchange of mutual favors was kept op between the pair. They would meet on Mondays at the courthouse situated midway between their respective strongholds, and at this courthouse Dr. Sullivan would oblige Mr. Strachan by sentencing any servant of the latter to as many lashes as his master liked, while Mr. Strachan was only too glad to do the same for Dr. Sullivan. So great was the mn tual convenience that either potentate was delighted to hold a special inquiry In any exceptional case to oblige the other, and one was held according ly In the forenoon following Tom s assault upon his master's son. A mounted messenger was dispatche(i to Mr. Strachan, who sent back word that he would be at the courthouse as soon after 12 o'clock as r.tsSible. And he arrived within a few minutes of Dr. Sullivan, his red beardej overseer and the culprit, who had spent the night in heavy irons, which he still wore. The doctor led his brother magistrate aside, and Tom. raising his lackluster eyes for once, watched them walking arm in nrm In the sunlight for several minutes be fore entering the courthouse. Ginger stood by and told the constables the kind of man Tom was. Tom heard him wlf'hout a word or a look. The constables agreed that, whatever else he was, he was evidently a sulky brute. Tom heard them, too, but sat doggedly in the strong sunlight, with sullen eyes upon the two magistrates, whom he instinctively knew to be deciding his fate before the case began. Not a word i had he spoken since the irons had been clamped upon his limbs and clasped about his soul. Not a word did he speak In the justice room within. His attention, however, was engaged at the outset by the extremely moderate tone in which the charge was preferred against him. Dr. Sullivan, put on his oath, gave a perfectly true account of what he had himself seen and heard in the small hours of that morning. He even admitted, in response to a question from the bench, his impression that his son was the first to raise a hand and added of his own accord a hope that that circumstance would te taken into due consideration on his servant's behalf. Tom couid hardly believe his ears. He w as still lost in wonder at this extraordinary intercession on the part of Dr. Sullivan, of all men, when Mr. Strachan addressed him In a tone no less clement and benign. "You are charged," said he, "with a very grave offense, which you do not attempt to deny. In the ordinary courf-e I should feel compelled to commit you to another court, and your lightest punishment would be a term in the chain gang, even if you were not sent straight away to Norfolk island. It is your good fortune, however, to have been assigned to a humane and merciful master, who has spoken for you as I am bound to say I should not have done in his place. He has magnanimously made the most of the one slender point that might be urged la your favor. He has begged me to deal with you here and now. He is generously anxious to give you another chance, of which, for your own good, I would exhort jou to take grateful advantage. Meanwhile you have not me to thank, but Dr. Sullivan entirely, for the ridiculously inadequate punishment which I am about to order, you. You will 1-e taken into the yard, and you will receive fifty lashes with the cat o nine tails." At these words Tom turned rery white and opened his lips as if to speak, but shut them tight without a syllable. His dogged eyes gleamed, his handcuffs rattled and his leg Irons clanked together as the constables took him by either arm and led him without a murmur from the room. "Did I say too much?" asked Mr. Strachan, biting at a cheroot, when tha magistrates were left alone. "Not one word," replied the doctor cordially. "I am Infinitely obliged to yon for saying what you did for tho constables benefit particularly. They seemed to see nothing wrong." Mr. Strachan shook his head. "It was distinctly irregular, doctor. A clearercae for quarter sessions I have never heard." "Ferhaps not; but then I should have lost a most competent groom, and now, thanks to you. I shall keep him." "Are you sure he will be worth keeping after this?" asked the Anglo-Indian, sucking at his cheroot, which was but a shade darker than his withered face. ' v ' Worth keeping? He will be better worth it than before. It does them good." "That is not rny Invariable experitrarh.rjcL. ahakintr him,
