Th< latter admitted to the judge he ha' s cred the discharge of Heintz threa ' different times. e He said he thought It was "his duty tr- to tel. a "Did you know this man was lead ng an honest life?" asked the magis lie trate. St "NO." said Delmege. li Whereupon the court grew indig nant "Is there then no such thing al penance or merey? Must the door o to oportunity be everywhere slamme< at In this poor man's face? I will Pu *you under bonds of $1,000 to keep the fpeace as to this matter." In default of ball Delmege went t< jaiL - Oh. just judge! Hentz. like JTean Valjean. was re deeming his life.
