ByCHARLESF.SWAIN,InAveMaria"

"Gentlemenofthejury,whatis yourverdict?''

'Wefindtheprisonerguilty."

Therewaslittleconcernandno sympathyonthefacesofthetwelve "goodmenandtrue"whothuslightlyvotedawayahumanlife-nay, rather,theyfeltthattheyhaddone ameritoriousdeedinavengingthe murderofoneoftheirfriendsby this"ignorantforeigner."

The"ignorantforeigner,"ayoung fellowofabout20years,unableto understandthelanguageandmannersofthestern-facedjudge,who nowdemanded,inthesetphrasesof thelaw,iftheprisonerhadanythingtosay,shookhisheadata sienfromhiscousin,whowasinterpretingthesalientpointsofthe trialtohim.Then,inacalmand formalvoice,thejudgecoldlytoned offthealwaysimpressivewordsof thedeathsentence,andTonyCarranowasledbacktohissolitary cell. Thestillmutteringcrowddispersed,feelingthatjusticewasbeing done.Swiftly,too,hadretribution takenplaceforitwasonlyyesterdaythattheturbulentstrikersat thebigmillhadsurgedarounditin angrytumult,andwhentheyhad beendispersedbythehiredstrike breakersofthestubbornowners,one ofthem,awatchman,wasleftbruisedanddyingonthefield.Hehad whisperedaname,andthatname uas"Tonyl'errano!"Theterrified murdererhidhimself,andwhenthe officersofthelawcametosearch hisshantyoneofthosecoincidents hichsometimeshappentookplace. Tony,therealculprit,hadbeen workinginthatmillfortwoyears and,athisglowingdescriptionof thewealthandcomfortsofhisnew life,hiscousinandnamesakewasinducedtoforsakehispleasantHungarianhome,totryhisluckinthe Americanfairyland.Theenchantmentwasstillfreshafteraweek spentwithhiskinsman,thoughhe couldnotunderstandwhythey,the workersatthebigmill,shouldbe soboisterousintheircelebrations. Hehadjustreturnedfromthescene oftheriot,whichheimaginedwas somenew-fangledgame,andhad joinedwithhiscountrymeninthe rushingandshouting.Whatitwas allabouthecouldnotsee,butfelt thatitwasmorefoolish,especially ashehadreceivedabloodygashon hisheadfromaflyingmissile.He wasnowinthehousewaitingforhis cousin,whentheofficerscamein. Oneofthem,whospokehisownlanguage,askedgruffly "AreyouTonyCerrano?"

Delightedtoknowthatoneof theseAmericansknewhimbyname, Tonyeagerlyacknowledgedhisidentity,andwasbreakingintoavolubleflowofinterestingquestioning, whentheotherofficerproduceda locallookingdocumentandbeganto readitinasonoroustoneofvoiceaprocesswhichwasunintelligibleto Tony.Thentheysnappedapairof handcuffsonhiswrists,and,silencinghimwithacurt"Comeon!"led theastoundedyoungmanawaytoa darkandImposingstructure,thelike ofwhichhehadneverseenbefore. Theylefthiminalittleroom,and lockedandboltedthedooronhim. Hewasinaprison! Thatmuchbe couldunderstand.

ButwhatoftheelderTony?He sawthemarrestandtakeawayhis youngcousin,andwasimpulsively startingafterthemtoexplainthe mistake,whentheterrorintowhich behadbeenthrownagainreturned, andhestopped.Afterallwhy shouldhecare?Andthenoccurred thefirstrealstruggleintheman's life,andhefell.Heknewthatin thetemperofthetownaftertheprecedineriot,itwouldbealmostcertaindeathtohimtoacknowledge thathehadstruckthefatalblow, andlifewasnevermoresweetto

Sohearguedwithhimself,andso hestartedonhiscareerofdeception.HewenttotheprisonandattachedhimselftoTony,ostensibl ashisinterpreter,butinrealityto tellhimonlysuchthingsaboutthe comingtrialaswouldnotendanger hisownlife.Ittookallhisartful dissimulation,however,towithstand theinnocentwondermentoftheyouth ashetranslatedtohimthefinal sentenceofdeath-adeathheknew wasmeantforhimself.

Itwasstrange,andbitterhard, fortheyoungmantofindhimself aloneinthatforeignland,immured inalockedandbarredcell,awaitingacruelandignominiousdeath. Hethoughtwithlongingofthe dear,quiethomeacrosstheocean. Hehadlaughinglyleftit,affirming hisintentiontocomebackrichand powerful,torepayhisdevotedmotherforallthetendercareshehad bestoweduponhim.Heremembered nowtheeveningswhenthewidowed motherhadlovinglygatheredher childrenaroundherknee,andtogethtitheyintoned,withsoft,musi. calvoices,thesweetprayersofOur Lady'sRosary.

Ah,yes,theRosaryThatremindedhimofhispromise-thatnever, underanycircumstances,wouldhe forgettosayhisRosaryeveryday. "Corifyou,mydearboy,willsay yourBeadsacrossthewater,Iand yourlittlebrothersandsisterswill sayoursoverhere;andsoweshall keepOurBlessedLadyeverinmind ofyou,andshewillbringyousafelybacktous."Thesewerethe wordsofhisdearmotherhenhe hadbadeheralastfond"goodbye,"and,thoughhehadfaithfully kepthispromises,nevertillnow, whenalltheworldseemedturned againsthim,whendeathitselfloomedblackandsternbeforehim,didhe realisethewholesomehealingof thosesimplepetitions.Inthegloom ofhisprisoncellhefoundsuchconsolationinhisRosaryashehadneverexperiencedbefore,andinhis inmosthearthefeltthatallwould yetbewellwithhim.

Aftertheexcitementoftheaffair hadsomewhatsubsided,theapparentguilelessnessoftheyouthfulprisoner,aswellashisignoranceof thelanguageandcustomsofthe country,helpedtocreateasentimentinhisfavour,andhissentence Waschangedtolifeimprisonment. Tonywasthankful;forlife,evenat thatplace,wassweettohim.He feltthathisprayerswerebeinganswered,andwasconfidentthatyet hewouldbefreefromthestain whichtarnishedhisname.Heexpressedhisbelieftohiscousin,who hadkeptintouchwithhim,and broughthimthenewsofhisrespite fromdeath.Thatwasagreatrelief totheelderTony;for,hardenedas hebadgrown,thethoughtofhis trustingkinsmangoingtodeathfor hisowncrimehadpreyedupon him.

Theyearshadpassedslowly,and theyouthbecameaman.Dayafter dayhemetwithaquietsmilethe tauntsofhiefellow-convicts,who sneeredathis"stringofbeads."His patience,however,graduallyturned theirsneersintorespectforhisfidelitytohisreligionundersuchcheerlessprospects.HewouldalwaysrecitehisRosary,hesaid andhe knewthatOurLadywouldnotpermithisnametogodownasamurderer,andthatingoodtimebe wouldhefreedfromallsuspicion.
