Mr THE LAW'S DELAY; NEAR Sun Francisco, recently, throe tlclof-.atcs were lynched ; llicy were in jail, their weird to dree, for crimes revolting pinched. And masked -men came, perhaps three score, as grim as .doom or fale, and strung them to a sycamore, which groaned be neath their weight. And law abiding people then sent up an iiiifjry cry; it was a shame that, untried men should thus unshriven die. And I forsook my divers tasks to rant around and rail, to say those brutal men in masks should all be lucked in jail. "Xo man should feel the halter draw, except by court's decree," I sternly cried; "we have our law. and it should honored be." Whereat a most sardonic skate, who stood at my right hand, remarked, "The people would not wait to see those monsters canned. And so the stars above us saw a scene of death and woo; the people weary of the law, it is so' beastly slow. A fiend is tried and tried again, and tried another time, until the weary sons of men forget his ancient crime. And if at last some prison grim should hide his sodden form, some governor will pardon hjni before his bunk is warm. Or, through some writ that has a flaw to fresh crimes he may go; the people weary of the law, it is so deadly slow." I looked with scorn upon the gink: who talked in" such a way; I looked with scorn, but couldn't think of anything to say. .... 1 .
