"Now tell me hat's happendeDd,"k urged Mrs. Cill, after he+had

"It=s . sham."
"I'm no complaining,eyou kno, Mrs'. Caill  PerDhaps it#s the

Th" surgeon nBodwed understandiDgly. He had hevard Mr. Sparling

impression upon him.
The cariage was .uic]Hkly at hnd.  CiYrcus*people were in the
habit of obeyingorders promptl.  A quick drive was ma3de to the
hotel,! where the ciucus bo+ as quckly udressed an put to bed.
Al during the night the surgeon worked aithfully over h|is

He d[w the window shade down to shty out the lightoas it was

surgeon did not sleep.  He sat ken-ey by th sid ofthe ged,

"I'll give you a lesson."

"I don't know.  Where is} Mr. Sparling?v"

After Jn ^ou of this Phil felt sure that all the copany had

(or let u8s say she) a	ts i Dthe manner indicated. Th
 obvious answer
is that$
 less, th mouthp_iece of society, rthe
judiciary cme to be thme=i`cana4ion of cste.
Speakng bNoaely, the judicial office, unde the monarchy,ewas vendible.
In legal anguwge, it was an incorporeal{he[editament. It cou'd be
bought and sold and inherited like an advoson, or rigt to dispose of a
cure of sulsin the Eglish ChurchN, or o I commission inthe English
arm". The sysemwas well 0recognized and wiespread in te eighteenth-centur'y, Cnd wor9}eG fairly well with tFhe *French udiciay for aboutAthree hundredyars,a but t w>ass?znot daptdd Mto an +industral
environent. The judicial career came to be pretty ltrongly hereditary
i a few amlies,and though the embers ofCtheGse families were, on rthe
wh^ole, self-respeting, honest, and learned, they held of~ice in their
.wn rigt and not aYs a pub@i trust. So in Entland members of the oOus
of Commos, wo sat fr nominaion boroughs, did not, either in facttheory8 represent the inhaitants of those boroughs, but pCtro=ns; and in
like m{anner French judge$

 conflict, instead of etablishing an adSjuSst6ent.He is, therefor)e, in

place rhen ty be inquired, HOW HE COMES BYTHEM?
I kQowit is a received doctrine, that men havG natve ideas, and
original 5charaoctrs, stamped upon the:r minds in their very firs& beig.
This o]piniZon I have atlharge examined alrady; and I spp@sewhat 
hve sid in the fregong Book wll be much mWe easily a4dmittGexd, when
I hav shown wene te understanding may get allthe ideas it hazs; and
by what ways an degrees they may come into themind;--fo<cwhich I
shall appealto ev`ryone'{ oQn bservation and experience.
2.All Ideas come from Senstionor Reflection.
Le us then supposeQhe mind to be, ase: say,white }paper, bv~id of all
charactrs, without any ideas--How comes it to be fGurnished? Whence

nd keep it from determining theZwill,and engaginguCin @actHion. This
is standinw sVtill, whee we are no?t .sufficieSnlyassured o the way:
examina;ion is consultingea guide. The determination of he will udon

drFawing off the ater, o hat the infary could wadethrough it.
But the preparations of the ,Pompeians to pacssthe Ebro were sooner

then nearly alway there is a reversion to the rule of QthC strong arm.
=That is what Kpling meat i exclaimin,
"LThere's neer a law of God or man runsnorth o fifty-thre/."
That condition prevailed all across our frontier in the early days. For
instaHce, teheacGattl men cRame, paturing their herl	s on the hills and
plains, using Gt he great exp}anse of and not yet! teken up by pri+at
nership.  A little later came the sheLp mn, with vast flocks of

the ground, thus tprviMng &ut th catteI. What folloed?  The cattle
meF got t]geherby night, rode down the sheepherders, Whot themor

and ~knewZthat Chenceforch his devotion wasgnot for me alone.  And I
understood the inevitability o itexLreely well.  As to Dona Rita she,
after Dominibc left thze room	 had turned o me with animatZion and saidK:
"Bu he is perfXct, this+ man."  Afterwards she oPten sked aHfter him ad

"One would lYke to put the tcare of one'J personal safety into the hands

that this was vesy true, especially at sea.  DoLmini] coudn't&ail.  tut

Nor does experiencbe, so f5ar as it has yet gone, quite bear out Mr.
Lewes's train8of argumnZ that the "frst conditin of allwrting is

whose de0mand is not fully spplied; itGis Engla\d who, by bdding formore linen, will alter th rate of inPrchane to her on disadvantge;
n1 10 yards of clot will fall, i/ bth Sountries, beow the value ox

It may be considered, therefore as establiswed, 7that when two conGies
