     ;Na�察�sur。; 

     Nightingale's eye upon his name�察�as Friar Bacon wrote it�察�was a sight 

to   consider   in   after   years。   Rather   incredulous   was   Nightingale�察  �with   a 

hand   at   the   corner   of   his   mouth�察  �and   his   head   on   one   side�察  �as   to   those 

drawings   really   meaning   him。          Doubtful   was   Nightingale   whether   any 

virtue   had gone out   of him  in   that   committal   to   paper。          Meditative   was 

Nightingale as to what would come of young Nightingale's growing up to 

the   acquisition   of   that   art。   Suspended   was   the   interest   of   Nightingale�察�

when his name was doneas if he thought the letters were only sown�察�to 

come   up   presently   in   some   other   form。       Prodigious�察  �and   wrong´handed 

was the cross made by Nightingale on much encouragementthe strokes 

directed   from   him   instead   of   towards   him�察  �and   most   patient   and   sweet´ 

humoured was the smile of Nightingale as he stepped back into a general 

laugh。 

     ;Order� ─�cried the little man。          Immediately disappearing into his mug。 

     ;Ralph Mangel�察�Roger Wurzel�察�Edward Vetches�察�Matthew Carrot�察�and 

Charles Taters� ─�said Friar Bacon。 

     ;All here�察�sir。; 

     ;You understand it�察�Mangel�拭─�

     ;Iss�察�sir�察�I unnerstaans it。; 

     ;Can you write your name�察�Mangel�拭─�

     ;Iss�察�sir。; 

     Breathless        interest。       A     dense      background        of    smock´frocks 

accumulated   behind   Mangel�察  �and   many   eyes   in   it   looked   doubtfully   at 

Friar   Bacon�察  �as   who   should   say�察   �Can   he   really   though�拭─       �Mangel   put 

down   his   hat�察  �retired   a   little   to   get   a  good   look   at   the  paper�察  �wetted   his 

right hand thoroughly by drawing it slowly across his mouth�察�approached 

the paper with great determination�察�flattened it�察�sat down at it�察�and got well 

to his work。       Circuitous and sea´serpent´like�察�were the movements of the 

tongue of Mangel while he formed the letters�察�elevated were the eyebrows 

of Mangel and sidelong the eyes�察�as�察�with his left whisker reposing on his 

left   arm�察  �they   followed   his   performance�察  �many   were   the   misgivings   of 

Mangel�察�and slow was his retrospective meditation touching the junction 

of   the   letter   p   with   h�察  �something   too   active   was   the   big   forefinger   of

Mangel in its propensity to rub out without proved cause。                    At last�察�long 

and   deep   was   the   breath   drawn   by   Mangel   when   he   laid   down   the   pen�察�

long and deep the wondering breath drawn by the backgroundas if they 

had watched his walking across the rapids of Niagara�察�on stilts�察�and now 

cried�察 �He has done it� ─�

     But�察�Mangel was an honest man�察�if ever honest man lived。                    ;T'owt to 

be a hell�察�sir�察─�said he�察�contemplating his work�察 �and I ha' made a t on 't。; 

     The over´fraught bosoms of the background found relief in a roar of 

laughter。 

     ;OR´DER� ─�cried the little man。             ;CHEER� ─        �And after that second 

word�察�came forth from his mug no more。 

     Several other clubs signed�察�and received their money。                Very few could 

write their names�察�all who could not�察�pleaded that they could not�察�more or 

less sorrowfully�察�and always with a shake of the head�察�and in a lower voice 

than    their   natural   speaking     voice。   Crosses      could   be   made    standing�察�

signatures   must   be   sat   down   to。    There   was   no   exception   to   this   rule。 

Meantime�察�the various club´members smoked�察�drank their beer�察�and talked 

together   quite   unrestrained。   They   all   wore   their   hats�察  �except   when   they 

went up   to   Friar   Bacon's   table。    The   merry´faced   little   man   offered   his 

beer�察   �with    a  natural    good´fellowship�察      �both    to  the   Dreary     one   and 

Philosewers。       Both partook of it with thanks。 

     ;Seven o'clock� ─�said Friar Bacon。            ;And now we better get across to 

the concert�察�men�察�for the music will be beginning。; 

     The concert was in Friar Bacon's laboratory�察�a large building near at 

hand�察    �in  an   open    field。   The     bettermost     people    of  the   village   and 

neighbourhood were in a gallery on one side�察�and�察�in a gallery opposite the 

orchestra。      The whole space below was filled with the labouring people 

and their   families�察 �to   the   number   of five or   six   hundred。      We   had been 

obliged to turn away two hundred to´night�察�Friar Bacon said�察�for want of 

roomand that�察�not counting the boys�察�of whom  we had taken in only a 

few   picked   ones�察  �by   reason   of   the   boys�察  �as   a   class�察  �being   given   to   too 

fervent a custom of applauding with their boot´heels。 

     The    performers      were   the   ladies   of  Friar  Bacon's     family�察  �and   two 

gentlemen�察�one of them�察�who presided�察�a Doctor of Music。                     A piano was

the   only   instrument。     Among   the   vocal   pieces�察  �we   had   a   negro   melody 

��rapturously      encored���察   �the   Indian    Drum�察   �and    the  Village    Blacksmith�察�

neither did we  want for fashionable   Italian�察�having Ah� �non giunge�察 �and 

Mi    manca     la  voce。    Our     success    was   splendid�察   �our   good´humoured�察�

unaffected�察�and modest bearing�察�a pattern。              As to the audience�察�they were 

far more polite and far more pleased than at the Opera�察�they were faultless。 

Thus for barely an hour the concert lasted�察�with thousands of great bottles 

looking on from the walls�察�containing the results of Friar Bacon's Million 

and   one   experiments   in   agricultural   chemistry�察  �and   containing   too�察  �no 

doubt�察�a variety of materials with which the Friar could have blown us all 

through the roof at five minutes' notice。 

     God save the Queen being done�察�the good Friar stepped forward and 

said   a   few   words�察  �more   particularly   concerning   two   points�察  �firstly�察  �that 

Saturday      half´holiday�察    �which    it  would    be   kind    in  farmers    to   grant�察�

secondly�察�the additional Allotment´grounds we were going to establish�察�in 

consequence of the happy success of the system�察�but which we could not 

guarantee  should   entitle the   holders to be   members   of   the  club�察  �because 

the present members must consider and settle that question for themselves�此�

a bargain between man and man being always a bargain�察�and we having 

made   over   the   club   to   them   as   the   original   Allotment´men。      This   was 

loudly applauded�察�and so�察�with contented and affectionate cheering�察�it was 

all over。 

     As Philosewers�察�and I the Dreary�察�posted back to London�察�looking up 

at   the   moon   and   discussing it   as   a   world preparing   for   the habitation   of 

responsible   creatures�察  �we   expatiated   on   the   honour   due   to   men   in   this 

world of ours who try to prepare it for a higher course�察�and to leave the 

race who live and die upon it better than they found them。 



            FIVE NEW POINTS OF CRIMINAL LAW 



     The existing Criminal Law has been found in trials for Murder�察�to be 

so   exceedingly   hasty�察  �unfair�察  �and   oppressivein   a   word�察  �to   be   so   very 

objectionable to the amiable persons accused of that thoughtless actthat

it is�察�we understand�察�the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill for 

its amendment。         We have been favoured with an outline of its probable 

provisions。 

     It will be grounded on the profound principle that the real offender is 

the    Murdered      Person�察   �but   for   whose     obstinate    persistency     in   being 

murdered�察  �the   interesting   fellow´creature   to   be   tried   could   not   have   got 

into trouble。 

     Its leading   enactments  may  be   expected   to   resolve   themselves   under 

the following heads�此�

     1。    There shall be no judge。         Strong representations have been made 

by highly popular culprits that the presence of this obtrusive character is 

prejudicial     to  their  best   interests。   The     Co
