PEACE;
BY EUKN E. REXFORDi
Alice Heath stood
dow, and looked out.
beside I be win.
The trees were
radiant in robes of frost like airy, mar.
velovis lacework. The sky was with
out a cloud, and over everything there
was sunshine, golden and warm.
But to her the day seemed full of
gloom. A shadow bid the sunshineL
She wondered it the sun would ever
shine for her acaut as it had done be.
tore tho shadow 'came.
There was a switt palter ot little
teet in the hall, and the little hands
tumbled at the fastening ot the door.
Presently the knob tunieu and a child
came into the room a child whose
lace was like a flower, so pare, so lair
and frail it was.
"Oh, mamma r she cried, running
up to Alice, and seizing her hand in
an eager, excited way, "did you lcuow
that papa was going away?"
Mles, I know it," Alice answered,
slowly, without looking at the child's
grieved face.
"And oh, mamma! be don't know
when he will come back. Never;
maybe I" and pansy eyes ran over
with tears. "Don't let him go away,
mamma."
"I haye no power to keep him here,"
Alice Heath answered, bitterly.
There were steps in the hall, and a
man's face looked in at an open door.
"I am going cow,' he said simply.
"I have come to say good-by, Alice. '
She turned away from the window
cold and calm and proud, and held out
her hand. B
"Good-by 4 1 hope yon will be happy.''
"Happy !" He repeated the word.
with m world of bitterhen in his tone.
I iwvpr MiwAt tr tva ltarinv arraiti " -
lie held her hand a moment, with
grief and pain working 10 his fce.
He searched the woman's face closely
to see it there was the least sign of re
lenting troth bar icy pride. She was
like a woman of stcne, '
He dropped her hand aud stooped
down to where his child . was sobbing
out hef grief.
"My darling, my little Peace l" he
cried, and caught her in his arms, his
face wet with tears.
Oh, papa, iii?iyt go!" she sobbed;
putting her little arms about bis neck.
"Peace loves you so. Stay with her.
' "I Wish I could," be said, brokenly.
"Oh, you can, you can !" cried the
child, eagerly, "Ask him to slay, ma
ma!" . ... -.v - :.
He looked at the woman as if half
hoping that she would do as the child
bad aeked ber to. '
But she gave no sign of having heard.
She" was iee aud stone'. . '
"0od blesa you and keep you, my
darling, and give yon a teller; happier
lite than- He has given me," he said,
kissing her aa we kiss the faces of our
dead, and then be unclasped the cling-
iDg amis about bts beck, aud went out
groping blindly as if the world was
Oddeuly full of (farkuessv
And still the woman 'at tbe window
nefer stirred. , She , beard his steps
go down tfie ball, and the closing ot
tbe door, and saw bias going up the
road. Once be turned and! looked back;
He saw ber standing there, bold and
unrelenting.
She watched him out of sight. . Then
she turned and came to where Peace
was lying prone upon the carpet, sob.
bing as if her little heart would break.
Leonard Heath had married ; Alice
Carle six years before. For a while
tbe current ot ihelr rwV life flowed
smoothly. ! Then trouble-began. Both
were quick and impulsive. Hot words
were spoken, and gradually a barrier
o,rew np between them ' which neither
strove to tear away. -Tltey wereloo
pioud to yield to. each -a other - though
both were equally in the fault... So
matters had gone on, until they had re.
solved to separate and go on in differ,
ent ways to the end of the jonrney of
lite. And this morning he had gone
away it might be forever.
The -summer was diawing to a close.
There were autumn tints on sky and
river, warm, blue, and strangely sug
gestive of that saddeet season ot tbe
year, which was not tar away now.
Alice sat beside the window with
Peace's yellow curls against her breast,
ana thought of many things. - Halt a
year had gone by since her husband
left her. Six years had nut used to
seem so long a lime. U t late she had
thought much of their bitter trouble,
and her heart had accused her sharply
She was beginning to feel .what a bit
ter thing remorse is when it comes
too late. -
Peace stirred uneaily, opened her
pansy ipyes, and looked np.
"I dreamed such a tieautih;! dream,
mamma," she said. I thought papa
was ' here. Oh, papa, . papa ! .1 want
him so much ! and the child hid her
face upon ler rnothetVarm and sobbed.
There had no day gone by since her
father went away that she had not cried
for hi:n to c- me back to her.
Her mother's tears splashed on her
chveks, and she looked up.
"Oh, mamma, won't you send tor
him?" she plead. "If I should die,
papa would want to see me before I
died."
Alice's heart gave a great throb of
fear. For a week Peace had been un
well. She seemed to be fading as a
flower does. Her fact was white and
thin, an 1 her eyes hd a strange look
in them that frightened ' Alice some
times. What if her child were going to die?
She could bear anything but that. She
clasped her to her heart as if she would
keep death away by the magic ot a
mother's arm?.
The next day Peace ws very ill.
Her lace was full of feverish color, and
her eyes had ? y ague, tar-off look tn
them. "'
"She will die," Alice said to the
neighbor Who came to sit a little while
with her. "I know it well enough
now." ' -.
Teace slept most of the time, a rest.
le-,, broken, unnaturst sleep. .Often
she talked in a babbling way. More
than once 'Alice heard her speak her
fattier's name. , .A. .." -
The nest day she was no better.
Alice wrote a few lines and sent them
to the telegraph office, as soon as morn
ing bruke. it was a message to her
husband, telling him that Peace was
very ill, and bidding him come at once
"I should be doing a wicketi thing if
I kept the sickness o bis child from
him,H she thought "a cruel;; wicked
deed, because she is his ohild as much
a mine, and he loved her as well as I
liave ever done.' -
"I have sent for your papa," she. told
Peace, when sho woke up from one of
her strange slumbers. . " - - .
A great gladness came into the. poor
little' face. After that, whenever: she
opened her eyesj she asked it papa had
cbifie
Two days went by, and Peace grew
weaker Very hotift The end was not
far awaf, Alice knew. A great feaf
seized her. What it be were too late ?
It was srtnset ot the second day - She
held Peace' in her arms beside the open
western window. : The robins were sing-
ing on the fjherry tree by . the gate atf
blithely as if there was no audi thing
as death in tlie world. ' -
"Hark !" Petfee said, suddenly. "Pa
pa' is coming. ;
Alios beard a step in the hall. Tbe
door opened, and she looked! that. Way,
blind wittt sudden tears
rtAfice!" he slrf, brokenly,"Is Peace"
aod tbea be stopped, as if b feared f
to go on and complete the qnertior.
"Oh, papa ! papa 1' , cried the child,
stretching out her bands toward him.
" Y"ou've been gone so long hbo long !
Take me, papa!"
He caught her in his arms and kiesod
her over and over again, with his tears
falling on her face. He knew from the
first glimpse of her hollow cheeks that
her life was almost dore.
"Ob, Alice, mutt it be ?" he asked,
as if he thought there might be some,
thig done to keep death away.
Ivor answer she drooped her . bead
upon bis shoulder and cried softly.
"I'm go&ijfto die, japa," Peace eaJd,
presently, . 'Mamma'Ui be, lonesome
when I'm gone, and you must not go
away."
That broke down the last bar of
pride in the woman's heart.
"Oh, Leonard, love me, and forgive
me, and stay with me," she cried. "I
was cruel aud wicked, and I made your
life wretched, but t will try to be a
better woman if you will let me."
"Don't!" be said, lifting up ber face
to kiss. "It was who was to blame.
It is you who must forgive. If God is
willing, we'll begin our lives over again,
and perhaps tbe past will help us to
do better in the future."
"I'm glad you won't go away," Peace
said, by aod by. "When I'm gone I'll
think that you and mamma love each
other, and I'll know you won't be so
lonesome because I am dead. You'll
never go away again, papa 1"
"I'll never go away again, Peace,"
he said, and the child was content;
The next day she died. They pnt
pansies and white lilies in her hands,
as she lay in the rosewood casket, but
she was the fairest blossom ot them all.
"She was too lair for earth," Alice
said, kissing the dead lips, that gave
back no answering caress as tbey had
used to do.
" We have no one left but each other
now," her husband answered. "Peace
is an angel ; but be Peace between ns
to the end.". .
And there, by their dead child, they
begin their lives over again ; and her
memory is always with them to m&ke
them true to each other and the prom
ise they gave her before she weut away.
Tie Vslae f Mm Oath,
&Y JUDGE CLARK ; .
It was an unpopular case to defend.
The crime charged against my client
was one ot shocking atrocity, the mur
der of his own child. Tlie popular ver
dict had condemned him, and there was
little doubt that the jury would go' the
same way.
Arthur Berkly, the prieontr, had
marrkd Edith Granger, a wealthy heir
ess, whose father had died, leaving her
his whole fortune, to . the exclusion of
the profligate son; whom he had disin
herited and driven from home.
Mrs. Berkly died wifhio a. year af
ter marriage, leaving an infant, a feeble
little creature, requiring constant and
assiduous care. Indeed, Dr. Baldwin
almost took tip his quarters in the house,
often passing the night I there, that he
might be on hand in case of need. -
One of these nigh t; the doctor, as he
afterwards stated in hW erldenbe, after
retiring to bed, feeling solicitions about
his charge, got np and stole softly to
tle nursery to see that everything was
right. . ' :''
He found the door ajar, and a dim
light burning within. As he advanced
he distinctly saw Arthur Berkley Stand
ing by the table, holding; to the child's
mouth a bottle from which it was ac
customed to receive its food At the
soond ot the doctor's footsteps he stealth
ily left the apartment by a side entrance
Not a little surprised at these move
ments, the doctor approached and laid
his hand on the child's face, which be
found in violent convulsions, which
were followed in a few seconds by the
sudden stillness of death. '1
A post-mortem examination and an
alysis of the contents of the stomach
placed it beyond doubt that prussie acid
had been administered. And fin ex
amination ot the bottle, found where
Berkley bid left it, proved this , this
milk in it contained a large quantity of
the same deadly. poison.
On this evidence Berkley was arrest.
ed and indicted tor murder and there
was not a dissenting voice as to Ids
guilt,. An incentive to the crime was
found in the tact that, as heir to his
child, he would inherit the fortune which
had descended to tbe litter throuch the
death of its' mother. No wonder the
deed bo monstrous, actcrsted by motive
so mercenary, should excite tbe deepest
indignation.
Beikley'e previous characler had
been good. He had always appeared
gentle and kind ; had been a devoted
husband, aud during the brief period ot
its life had showed the teoderest attach
ment for his child.
In my conference with bitn he seem
ed overwhelmed with grief, but stren
uously denied all imputation of guilt,
asserting that he had not gone to the
nursery after retiring that night till call
ed by the alarm of his child's death.
Of course his statements, in the fate
of proofs so damgingtreighed - out lit
tle. I had no confute ia ,them Ony
self. SUH it was my; professional duty
to see that a man on trial for bis life,
who had entrusted me with his cause
Kad every right tlie law accorded bim.
This duty performed, my . conscience
would be clear, whatever the result.
It would be tedious to dwell on the
steps preceding the trial. I interposed
no objection to its coming on speedily.
My aim was not to thwart the ends of
justice, but to see it fairly meted out.
Dr. Baldwin was the first and chief
witness. , He told bis story clearly and
methodically, and it. wis very easy to
see it carried conviction to the jury.
My rigid cross examination only served
to bring out his evidence with more
distinctness of detail. I elicited the factj
for instance, that the. child's nurse lay
in the same room ; that she was asleep
when the doctoi entered, and it was to
her he first announced the child's death.
I also examined fully as to tbe prisoner's
acts nt tbe time the alarm was given,
endeavoring to show that he came from
the direction ot his own chamber, ap
pearing to have been just aroused from
sleep. But I made nothing ot this, the
witness stating that his agitation had
distracted his attention from these points.
The Doctor had only recently settled
among us, but his conduct had been so
exemplary that he had made many
friends, ire had especially won tbe
confidence of the prisoner. ' I interro
gated him as to his past career, but
brought out nothing to his discredit.
- The evidence of the chemist who
made the analysis was next put in,- and
the State's attorney "rested." '
"I have brought the nurse here," he
said, "but as she was asleep when the
prisoner entered, her evidence is unim
portant. I thought it my duty to have
her here, however, to afford the other
side the opportunity to call her if they
desire." ' ' '
Nothing could render the prisoner's
case more hopeless than it was a'ready,
while something might come out to his
advantage. .
"I will call the witness,4' t said.
She was a middle-aged woman, Tot
not unprepossessing appearance. Her
agitatiou was visible ; . and I noticed
that in taking the oath she laid lier
hand beside the book and net upon it.
"i ask that the witness be sworn
with her hand Oil the book,'' I said call-
ing attention to the omission.
The judge bo ordered : and the wit
ness' hand shook violently as she reluc
tantly obeyed the direction and the
oath was fe-adrniuistered.
After a few preliminary questions aa
to the hour of her retiring, her falling
asleep, etc :
"What is the next thing you remem
ber?" I nuked.
The witness hesitated. , - v
"Answer the question," replied bis
Honor.
"I I heard a.noise as if sprue one
was coming into the room.
"Did you see any one enter ? .
Another pause. . M
.-1 repeated the inquiry.
x"I did," was the answer
"What did the person do?"
The woman'" face grew paler, and it
was with difficulty she found utterance;
"BeS came to the side of the cradle,"
she said, "with the bottle of milk in bis
hand, and put it to tbe baby's mouth."
The" jddge and Suite's attorney both
bent forward in eager attention, Tbe
latter, it was evident, had not expected
th's testimony.
1 felt that my questions thus far had
only served to draw the biker closer
about iffy client's neck; But I had
gone too far to retreat.
My Voice trembled almost as much
aa thai of! the witness aa I proceeded.
"Did you recognize that person ?" . '
"I did." wal the answer searval
aadibk ' '
My client's I'la hung on the answer
of the next question i The silence of
lb court rooci was dth-likc. I drtij.
ed to break iC The sound of my Yofoi
startled me when I spoils; , ' . .. .
"Who was it ?" U ,
: Her lips moyed, but no aotmd cata'e.
Her agitation was fearful to witcedL
She shook- from head to foot' ' A
deadly pallor overspread " hef ' face.
