''Will you come to my Office for o
smoker Major Overton said, as though
he had not heard, leading the way to q
small bare room just off the back piazza.
As the two came into it they found
themselves face to face with Dare She
did not flush, look conscious or seek to
evade her grandfather's Disappearing
eye. instead she gathered up "a handful
Of torn papers, and stepping to the door
stopped beside it to say:
''I knew you would want to smoke,
grandfather, SO / lit the fire, If it is July,
and put pipes ready filed there over the
mantel. F."
Very good. / am Obliged" Major
Overton said grimly, stepping so as to
hide his granddaughter from his guest
Dare moved lightly aside, drew chair
to the corner of the hearth and said to
Fauntleroy:
"Sit down, and / will give you light
for your pipe, as you have but one hand
now.
"You spoil me-, he protested, sinking
into the seat and looking straight into
the girls eyes, Major Overton frowned
heavily, took the girl by the arm and
led her through the door, saying, "Stay
in your room, Dare, until send for

good TO die" the old woman said, star
ing straight before ber with fixed, CLASSY
eyes. Suddenly her form grew rigid, she
threw a hand above her head and said in
a hoarse whisper, punctuated by gasps:
"Go away, master; go awayl You are
dead, deadl I never touched your pa
pers."
Major Overton took her hand in hard
grasp and said close to her ear:
"Who took them, Jincey?"
No answer. The rigid figure tottered,
would have fallen but for his support.
Suddenly it slid out of his hands to
writhing heap at his feet, and out Of it
smothered voice cried, with still the
note of mockery: "Overton claiml The
end is coming, coming through wom-
an whose weakness is stronger than
your strength. "
What wonder, then, that his face
blanched at sight Of the one woman who
owned Overton blood thus in proximity
to young man unheard Of, undreamed
of before?

the executioners late last Saturday aftsE-
noon. It was q rebsllious lot, fresh from
the bunch grass of northeastern NG-
brasks, but with q confident toss OF his
head and q meek and solemn air whlch
he never forgot he led the troop az
horned wssterneEs along the run way 70
the room where the barearmed exsCu.
tioners stood with their keen and greedy
knives. Late that night Judas fsll iM.
He rolled over on his nids in his psn end
closed his eyes. When mornInR came
the men about the yards found him
dead in the straw. He Left no wire, nor
had hS given q single grunt Of repeat
ance for oil the mean work he had done.
Il was said that Judas died Of old sg0s
but there are men about the yards who
ssy that the willy, old beast was affected
with q cold and was sneezing when h&
betrayed hls last bunch OF brethren.
Alderman MCCARTHY had thls to ssy
about Judas:
"Hs was o cunning old brute, with
speckled hide. He never held hia head
slsft. II always dropped and whom b0
led the stock mp the Funwsys he always
looked solemn. Judas was horned
hypnotist. He could win the con6dsncs
Of any man or beGss. But having once
led his victims into the hands OK tho
butchers he would quietly drop out Of
line and laugh to himself. He never
made any noise when he laughed. He
would just drop his lower jaw, show oil
his teeth and wrinkle himself about tina
eyes. They have betrayers in all Che
yards, but Judas was the original. HS
performed work which no man could do,
and / suppose he has led q million Or
more steers to their death"
Mike HooligsD, butcher at the yards
had this to say: "JudRs was daigy.
Three or four years ago bunch OF Tex.
ans was punched into the driveway to b
stuck. The animals were q fiery lot and
even old Judas couldn't head them 10 rls.
So be made the trip alone, and when DO
returned to the bunch his jaws clasped Q
lot Of grass which he picked up In lot
outside. Then he solsmnly took Che
lead, and with O come on wave OF his
tail started up the trail to the house,
The steers fell in line, but found knives
instead of grass. Then Judas went e
one side and laughed and laughed until
the grass in bis mouth fell on the toor.
He was the greatest 'capper' and the
beat horned cow q slaughter house ever
saw. He fooled as, for be died natus

"I'he gentleman is hurt, grandfather"
both his host and nanny, who waited
at table, even embarrassingly attentive
to his lightest need. He made but q poor
pretense Of eating. Each mouthful in
deed came near to choking him, though
everything was dainty, flavorous and ex-
quisitely served
At the close Of the meal the two men
went out together, pausing for a minute
at the half open front door to watch the
dashing raindrops vex the limpid pool
spread over all the yard One Of the long
summer storms had broken since morn
ing. The sky was dun cup without
fold or rift. The slightest hollows held
such rainy runnels as assured all who
knew the lay of the land that the creeks
must be at food. 1t was full of sharp
hills, from which the waters ran fast as
they fell. Already above the plash of the
rain came the roar and boom of torrents
in the lowlands But young Fauntleroy
stepped without the hall door and said:
major Overton, ! feel this intrusion
of mine to be SO impertinent that if your
woman will return me my own gar
ments will make my way somewhere
else till the storm is over. "
The grim ghost Of smile played on
Major Overton's face.
''That would be suicide, which is the
worst form Of cowardice," he said.
Either side of us is stream that now
man with two good arms could not
safely pass ON horseback. On foot and
crippled you would surely drown.
Ridgeley's door can let no man go out
to his death. Stay and be sure of your
welcome until you can go in safety"
''If only you would let me speak, the
other began. A gesture stopped him.
Major Overton had raised his hand, a
look of pain unutterable upon his face.
After minute he said slowly, as though
weighing each word:
"It is not my wish to embarrass you
or add to your discomfort, but surely
you must understand that of all men
you are the last with whom l can dis
cuss-anything."
"Why, because of that old trouble?
Believe me, Major Overton, whatever
imputation there may have been in the
past do not believe Young Faunt-
leroy burst out before he could be ST.
fenced. His pause, when it came, was
due to amazement. The old face fronting
him was rage incarnate, the old hands
clinched hard By a supreme effort Ma
jor Overton controlled himself and said,
half turning away:
belief amounts to nothing, certainly
as against deeds 1t is just possible that
you came in ignorance of some things
that have gone before. Pray pardon me

Old Judas Ia dead.
Judas came to town 90 q Colorado
ateer about ton years ego, says the Chi'
Cago Chronicle. His horns were short
and rakish and his hide was mottled
after the fashion Of q Nebraska cayuse.
When he was poksd out Of Car ct the
stock yards Phil Armour's men saw that
the beast had more intelligence than tho
herd, and 30 they prevailed upon the
exacutioneEs to spare him.
Judas has no name at this time. Mem
larruped him with stlcks and poked him
about until he gave one awful roar Of
disapprovRl. Then his keepers began to
train him for the work he was to do
through life. They saw that the beast
had q head full Of brains and they
needed betrayer. Day after day, as
long trains filed with cattle from the
Panhandle and the knobs Of Texas,
rolled into the yards, the wise and
solemn-looking steer from Colorado
would meet his brethren and lead them
with q winning grin and q confident toss
Of his horns 10 the ececutioner, who
stood at the top Of the chutes. Then
the mottled steer, who was then known
40 Judas, or "Bill, the Steerer," would
leave the column and return to his place
near the railroad tracks.
The stories told about Judas are quite
40 numerous as the yellow and blue
flowers on the prairie. He was q wise
old fellow who knew that his shanks and
ribs were spared by his wisdom. He
cared but little for the thousands Of
steers that came to the yards. He was
q steer himself, but his life had not been
to his liking. He was taught the trail
to the executionsr, and, while no always
took good care not to get too close to
the knife OF the bloodBtained butcher,
he would lead his Southwestern brsth-
rem to their death with all the grace OF
q Chesterfield at q swell social function.
Eventually the mottlsd steer became
known as Judas. It was said OF him
that having lead Q carload Of long'hornS
to the sxecutioner he would suddenly
fall out Of line and laugh as he wobbled
down the runway to meet the next train.
Judas drew no salary from Armour, and
yet his function was such that no en-.
ploye of the millionaire could attempt to
fill his place successfully. Judas was
prime favorite among the people Of the
stock yards. He rOsmed about the
streets without fear Of moleatation.- He
wae called the ICON" boy OF the yards,
and the men and women would 90 Out

slowly the door was thrown aside, and

about, but Dare was not visible. Only

Dare faced her grandfather with no
sign of confusion. Indeed her first word
was for him.
"How wet you arep' she cried, NOV
ing toward him. "Surely you did not
have to swim at the ford?'
He put her away with an impatient
gesture, saying no word, but burning
question in his eyes. Dare had met him
with pretty appealing droop of the
head. Now she stood up as straight as
himself, and to the Watchers eye a Gu
rious race likeness to the stern old face
Crept over the soft curves Of the young
one.
Letting hand fall either side of her,
Dare said, with distinctness that would
have been harsh had her voice been less
clear: "The gentleman is hurt, grand
father. / have tried to make him COM
Portable, as you would have done Let
me make you acquainted with him-Mr.
Allen Haywood.
''What name did you say? The wind
roars so can hardly hear, " Major Over
ton said, stepping within, unmindful Of
the dripping from his soaked garments
upon the immaculate floor. Before Dare
could repeat it the stranger got upon his
feet and said, with profound obeisance:
''Let me answer that, Major Oyerton.
The young lady knows only a part of my
name. / am Allen Haywood Fauntleroy,
very much at your service.
Spite Of his white hair, fire leaped to
Major Overton' s eyes; big veins stood out
upon his forehead; his mouth grew set
and hard; his hand clinched nervously
upon the riding whip he held. For full
minute he was silent Then, speaking
very low, he said:
''Leave us, Dare. Mr.. --Fauntleroy, !"
choking over the name-"I am sorry
to see you in such i'll plight. hope
that my people have made you as COM
Portable as possible. :"
''They have done much more than that
saved my life. But, Major Overton,
every minute you stand thus dripping
wet endangers yours. beg you to make
yourself comfortable Then give me the
pleasure of an hours talk with you"
Major Overton's eyes blazed more
than ever, yet he answered in a tone
even more silken soft:
Pardon me, Mr.. Fauntleroy, you are
my guest Nothing puts that aside. But
under all the circumstances Of the case
/ must ask that all other than casual
communications shall come through my
lawyers "
With that he bowed himself away, to
return little later in well brushed
suit Of fine threadbare black, with sill
yer tray in his hand, upon which stood
decanter and two glasses. He set the
salver on the table at Fauntleroy 8 elbow
and said in the same restrained voice:
'Dinah, my housekeeper, has told me Of

rather shalxy, and here is some brandy
