CHAPTER 8
WHAT SAB GONE BEFORE
Paroled from the galley t after a
fos yar tnttne for tttaUng a loaf
f bread, Jean Valjean, with revenge
(n hit heart, ttumblet into the horn
of kindly old Biehop Bienvenu and
find in him at Uati on man with
faith in the world and witting to trutt
an emgaUey-tlave, With renewed
faith, confidence and vigor he itartt
out to conquer the world anew.
The Road Back
With courage born of the bishop's
words, Jean's progress in the next
five Tears bordered on the miracu
lous. Under a new name, he has
established himself in a town in Al
sace, and step by step has worked
his way up in the respect and esteem
of the small community.
As M. Madeleine, he has changed
completely. There is a streak of
grey in his hair, but otherwise he is
clean-shaven and is smiling, cheerful,
good-humored. He has been eminently
successful in turning an absolutely
bankrupt manufacturing firm into a
thriving business organization. We
find him in the best of spirits as he
bids good-night to a group of promi
nent townsfolk who have come to
inform him of his appointment as
mayor and magistrate.
Left alone with the aftermath of a
successful and nanny day. Jean turns
to the fireplace. On the mantelpiece
are the bishop's candlesticks. He
smiles at the thought of all these
symbols have lone for him.
"We're come a lone way together,
haven't wel"
There is a knock at the door, and
the housekeeper shows in a man in
police uniform. Aa the man conies
forward, Jean's hands, still holding
the candlesticks, drop slightly. It is
JaTert, warden of the prison-ship.
The two men come face to face, but
JaTert is precise and also deferen
"1 have denounced you,
tial, showing no sign of recognizing
Jean.
"M. Madeleine?"
Jean nods.
"My name is Javert I am the
new inspector of, police assigned to
this district reporting for doty to
the new mayor and to pay my re
spects." Jean remains thoughtful for a mo
ment after Javert's departure. He
looks up at the candlesticks and then
at the door. The sudden appearance
of Javert has troubled and disturbed
him.
It is shortly after that Jean actual
ly buys little Oosette, daughter of
Fantine Lesrolles, employed in his
factory, from the proprietor of the
Sergeant of Waterloo Inn and his
grasping wife to look after until her
mother is well and able to take care
of her herself.
Jean and Cosette are playing
checkers on the floor. Cosette sud
denly dives her hand on the board
and makes an obvious move. Jean
laughs:
"You win!"
The two are the picture of con
tentment Javert Agala
Toussaint the old housekeeper,
comes into the scene.
"M. Javert is here."
"Javert?"
"He wants to speak to you private
ly. I asked him if I could take a
message, but he said it concerned
Sou only, He spoke in such a pecu
ar way"
Javert is not the calm, stoical,
austere person one would expect He
is apparently under stress of emo
tion. He wipes the sweat from his
forehead; his hand is trembling. He
hears the noise of the latch and the
two men come face to face.
Javert speaks in a husky under
tone: -
"I am sorry to disturb you at this
hour, , but I have a duty an urgent
duty to perform.'
"Goon." ' '
"As toon as X was aura I had to
act at once." ,
'Tea? .'"''''.

lata committed." : ? ; jtv .... .......

"And who is the magistrate?"
"You."
To Jean's surprise, JaTert takes
out his official police passport and
puts it on the table, continuing:
tfYou must prefer charges against
me. You have a right"
As Jean protests, Javert continues,
his words tumbling over one another,
brokenly, breathlessly.
"Yes. yes, yes, I tell yon, you must
prefer charges. I, who demand jus
tice of others, must demand it for
myself. Yon see, I denounced you
to the prefect Of police."
"As what?"
"A former convict." "
"Well?"
"After that incident with the wo
man, Fantine, when you so oddly
distinguished between the law and
justice and refused to prosecute, I
Degan to ierret out your past. 1
resented your interference with my
carrying out my duty. I questioned
your authority, so I went to work.
Secretly I traced you. By studying
the records of escaped criminals and
those wbo bad failed to report for
parole and by an exhaustive process
of elimination, I finally became con
vinced that you were a convict named
Jean Valjean."
"What was that name?
"Jean Valjean."
"Ah. And what was his crime?"
"As an ex-convict he was ordered
to report to the police at Pontarlier.
He has never reported. He has been
missing five years. I traced him to
the Bishop Bienvenn, He stole su
rer, but the bishop would not charge.
The trail ended there, and although I
had no positive proof, I was so sure
I denounced you."
"Real" Valjeai Fesad
"And what what answer did you
get?"
"That I was mad. I must hare ,
been mad to make such a mistake .
worse, I was a fool, for the real
Valjean has been found."
Jean looks at Javert in amazement
tir, at an ets-eonviet.'
"Yes, they arrested him last week
at Arras. He goes by another name,
Champmathieu, but be was caught for
theft The dates of his disappear
ances are identical with Valjean's
record witnesses will swear to him
a fellow-criminal recognized him.
Undoubtedly they have the man, Val
jean." "Well?"
"I made the mistake. I allowed a
personal grievance to interfere with
my duty. I must be dismissed."
Jean now takes a different tone
and says:
"You did your Vluty it is your
place to suspect"
Now for the first time we learn
something of Javert's creed. His con
fession is in a husky whisper, a man
deeply and sincerely ashamed and
broken by his failure.
"No. There is more to it than
that I, too, have my creed, M.
Madeleine. They call me hard and
brutal, bnt I am not I am just But
I've always said to myself, 'Yes,
you're hard, you're ruthless when
you are in the right but look out
one day you, yourself, will trip. Then
will you bo Just?' I swore I would.
That time has arrived, M, Madeleine.
I have caught myself. I have com
mitted a crime. I have been unjust
from anger, resentment, jealousy
what you will. I stand for justice
I have failed."
Seeing Jean is about to protest
Javert goes on:
"What I have always demanded
for others the law, good or bad, but
the law to the letter I now demand
for myself."
Jean looks closely at Javert. and
now it is Javert who is tormented
and Jean who is almost consoling
him. j
"I make no charge against you."
"You must If you don't then I
must"
"You have your creed, Javert; I
hare mine. . As mayor, I refuse to
accept your resignation. I order you
to think it over." '
i , Javert bows to authority.
' "Yon are too lenient, M. Madeleine,
bnt I will do as you say,"
t Jean moves to the door with him
and stops. .
