Now It's Even Easier To Shop In Germany!

In the evening, when he had arrived in Geneva, he had made an unsuccessful attempt to enter the courthouse; therefore, Gautran being otherwise a stranger to him, he did not recognise in the face of the man he was now looking into, and which he could but dimly see in co ' sequence of the darkness of the night, the prisoner whose trial for murder had caused so great an excitement. I can see sufficient of you to discern that from a social point of view you are a ruin, a very wreck of respectability, if your lines ever crossed in that direction.

In which reapect I, who was once a gentleman, and am still, cannot deny that there is something of moral kinship between us. This confers distinction upon you—upon me, a touch of obloquy. But I am old enough not to be squeamish. We must take the world as we thid it—a villainous world! What say you? Go on talking. Gautran, facing the man upon whom he had forced his company, stood, therefore, with his back to the villa, the lights in which he had not yet seen.

What is it you fear?

What matters? The world is apt to be too censorious ; I find no fault with you for your misfortunp. But you are free now, you say, and you fear nothing in human shape. What is it, then, you do fear V "Were you ever followed by ft spirit? I have about me two mouthfuls of an elixir without which life would not be worth the living. Share and share alike. He produced a bottle containing about a quarter of a pint of brandy, and saying, " Your health, friend," put it to his lips. Gantrnn watched him greedily, and, when he received the bottle, drained it with a pasp of savaire satisfaction.

Now we can continue. Was I ever followed by a spirit? Of what kind?

A look of sudden and newly-awakened intelligence flashed into Vaubrugh's face. He placed his hand again on Gautran's shoulder. The utterance of the name conjured up the phantom of the murdered girl, and Gam-tan with violent shudders, gazed upon the spectre. Vanbrugh, a life of ease is yours once more. Away with these rags, this moneypinch which has nipped yo-'. Days of pleasure, of luxury, are yours to enjoy. You step once more into the ranks of gentlemen. What would the great Advocate in yonder study think of this chance encounter, knowing—what he has yet to learn—that I hold in my hands what he prizes most—his fame and honor?

He lives yonder, then? Gautran, you and I must be better acquainted. Gautran had disappeared. His first feeling, when he listened to Gautran's confession, had been one of unutterable horror, and this feeling was upon him when he entered the villa. From hi 3 outward demeanor no person could have guessed how terrible was his inward agitation. Self-repression was in him a second nature. The habit of concealing his thoughts had been of incalculable value in his profession, and had materially assisted in many of his great victories. But now he was alono, and when he had locked the study-door lie threw off the, mask.

He had been proud of this victory; it was the greatest he had ever achieved. He knew that it would increase his fame, and that it was an important step in the ladder it had been the delight of his life to climb. Cold as he appeared, and apparently indifferent to success, his ambition was vast, overpowering. It was the sublimity of egoism, contemptible when allied with intellectual inferiority and weekness of character, but justifiable m his case because it was in association with a force of mental gifts little short of marvellous.

In the exercise of his public duties he had been careful never to take a false step. Before lie committed himself to a task he invariably made a study of its minutest detail; conned it over and over, stripped it of its outward coverings, probed it to its very heart, added facets to it which lay not only within the region of probability, but possibility ; and the result had been that his triumphs were spoken of with wonderment, as something almost higher than human, and within the capacity of no other man. It had sometimes occurred that the public voice was against a prisoner whose defence he had undertaken, but it was never raised against himself, and perhaps the sweetest reward which was ever bestowed upon him was when, in an unpopular cause which he had conducted to victory, it was afterwards proved that the man he had championed—whose very name was an offence—was in honest truth a victim instead of a wronger.

It had grown into a fashion to say, "He must have right on hjs side, or the Advocate would not defend him. Here, then, was a triple alliance of justice, truth, and humanity—and he their champion and the vindicator and upholder of right.

In another sphere of life, and in times when the dragon of oppression was -weighing heavily upon a people's liberties, such achievements as his would have caused the champion to be worshipped as a saint—certainly as a heio imbued with kingly qualities. No man really deserves this altitude, though it be sometimes reached. Human nature is too imperfect, its under-'currents are not sufficiently translucent for truth's face to be reflected as in a crystal.

But we judge the deed, not the doer, and the man is frequently crowned, the working of whose inner life, were it laid bare, would shock and disgust. It was when he was at the height of his fame that the Advocate met Adelaide. Hitherto ho had seen but little of women, or, seeing them, had passed them lightly by ; but there comes a time in tlifi lives of most men, even of the greatest, when they are abruptly arrested by an influence which insensibly masters them.

This was many years ago, and had been long forgotten, when Adelaide appeared to him, a star of loveliness, which proved, what few would have believed, that he had a heart. The new revelation was to him at first a source of inlinite gladness, and he yielded to the enchantment. But after a time he questioned himself as to the wisdom of this infatuation. It was then, however, too late. The spell was upon him, and it did not lay in his power to remove it. And when he found that thu sweet pleasure did not —as it would have done with most men—interfere with his active duties, nay, that it seemed to infuse a keener relish into their fulfilment, lie asked himself the question, "Why not?

He possessed an immense power of concentration. With many subjects claiming close attention he could dismiss them all but the one to which it was necessary he should devote himself, and after much selfcommuniug he satisfied himself that love would be no block to ambition. And indeed so it proved.

Adelaide, dazzled by the attentions of a man who stood so high, accepted his worship, and, warned by friends not to be exigent, made no demands upon his time which interfered with his duties. He had a devoted but not a passionate lover. On all sides she was congratulated—it gratified her.

After their marriage he strove to interest her in the cases upon which he was engaged, but, discovering that her taste did. It did not lessen his love for her, nor her hold upon him. She was l to him on this night as. Something of what has been here expressed parsed through his mind as he inflected npi. Slow should he deal with Gautran's confusion? When he undertook the defence he had. He had drawn the picture of Gautran exactly as he had conceived it.

Vile, degraded, brutal, without a redeeming feature—but not the murderer of Madeline the flower-girl. He reviewed the case again carefully, to see whether he could have arrived at any other conclusion. He could not perceive a single defect in his theory. He was justified in liis own eyes. He knew that the entire public sentiment was against him, and that lie had convinced men against their will.

He knew there was imported into this matter a feeling of resentment at his successful efforts to set Gautran free. What then, had induced him to come forward voluntarily in defence of this monster? He asked the question of himself aloud, and he answered it aloud : A reverence for justice.

He had not indulged in self-deception when he declared to Gautran's judges that the leading principle of his life had been a desire for justice in small matters as well as great, for the meanest equally with the loftiest of his fellow-creatures. That it did not clash with his ambition was his good fortune. It was not tainted because of this human coincidence. So far, then, he was justified in his own estimation.
