At this point Mr.. Pinkney gulped his
words, choked on them, and finally
managed to articulate hoarsely. Why,
on that rattle-trap of building which
the wretched Keever is erecting for a
courthouse, he actually saw weather.
vane, monstrous thing which an
swered to no wind of heaven but
pointed ever and always in the direc-
ton of Harmony. And what was that
| weather-vane, Mr.. Chairman and gen.
| tlemen, what was it? It was mans
head, sir, a mans head and hand, and
the hand was doing this, looking
straight toward Harmony all the time,
and doing this, doing this at their hon
orable chairman, at Col. Dingle, Maj.
| Harp, Capt. Blue and Mr.. Boomer!
Yes, gentlemen, doing this at all of
you! za
Mr.. Pinkney made weather-vane of
himself for purposes of illustration.
With his thumb to his nose and his
trembling fingers outspread he direct
ed the opprobrious gesture at Wan
bingham, then in turn at each men,
Der of the committee Of safety and
then at the entire meeting.
Guy was consumed with a desire to
laugh, but suppressed it strenuously.
1t was not laughing matter for the
citizens in the hall, and not one de-
tected a trace of humor in the situa-
ton. A murmur of rage swept through
the assemblage and Col. Dingle sprang
to his feet with fierce cry.
''They are all hoodlums and rowdies
on the other side of the county," he
shouted, tossing his arms, land the
arch fiend who leads the rabble is that
schemer, that political trickster, that
preeminent rascal, Archibald Keever!"
In a twinllling the meeting was in
an uproar. Every citizen was talking
wildly and shaking his clenched fists.
Vlandingham pounded for order.
When a measure of quiet finally OBJ
tanned he spoke few words himself.
'We must be quiet, we must be calm,
we must not allow our passions to run
away with us. Let us remember that
it is the cool head and the daring hand
that wins the day. They have flung
the gage at us and we will bear with
this insOlence now and return it hun
dredfold. Col. Dingle, we will hear
from you.'
Mr.. Pinlncy sat down, and Col.
Dingle, calming himself with a painful
effort, declared that this gratuitous
insult could have been the work of
none other than Keever; that he came
from Kentucky, as did the aforesaid
Keever, and that he wanted the meet
ing to appoint him a committee of one
to ride directly into town and slap the
aforesaid Keever's face. He would do
it, and he would abide by the conse-
quences.
Barely had this duty been laid upon
Col. Dingle's shoulders when an up
roar was heard below, at the street
entrance. The noise increased and

Of the New England villages near Ran
6olph, Mass, the former home Of Mary
=. Wilkins, whose house is surrounded by a
cemetery, The cemetery is behind the
house, and comes up flush with the road on
either side, running off to east and west for
an Gig nth Of mile. Some might find such
house lot doleful land surely heneighbors are
not lively. BUT that thought never troubled
the villagers SO muca as the prospect of
gong home at night, says the New York
tribune: In the country towns of New
England the graveyard at night is still a
thing OF terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are dug
on line running due east and west, with the
1ootstones toward the east, so that the dead
may rise face to face with the Judge on the
last day. So the doctor is often asked the
question: Are you not afraid to 60 home
sometimes at night?"
And his answer is always the same: mo;
my neigirbors will never trouble me; they
all owe me money"

| swept up the stairs, and the cause of
! it all presently burst open the door
and dashed into the room. A wild
eyed, strapping big fellow with his
| trousers tucked into his boot tops was
among them. He WAS covered with
dust and his face was ominous and
eager.
"A traitor!'' he shouted, waving
scrap of paper over his head; "there's
traitor in this room!"
During the foreboding silence that
followed Guys heart beat like trip
hammer.
"a traitor, Barney?" queried Wan
bingham, getting up and sweeping his
gaze over the people before him. His
voice was soft, but there was metal
lie glitter in his eyes as he advanced
to the edge of the platform. "Come
here, Barney" he added, indicating a
cleared space in front of him, "come
here and tell us about it. Boomer, you
and the captain will please guard the
exit"
The Captain stumped away to the
door, followed by Boomer, both frown-
ing heavily. Mr.. Boomer grimly devel-
oped a revolver.
II got the information from the
broom man." said Barney, approach
ing as he had been directed to do and
presenting the folded paper. "Iwould
have got here sooner but that broncho
of mine-consarn him!-got scared
and threw me, so had to walk half
the way"
Vlandingham unfolded the note and
read it silently. Guy, who was watch
ing him narrowly, saw his face slightly
redden and observed a twitching of
his heavy iron gray mustache. The
deep stiffness was at last broken by
the chairman.
els there hnnchback man in this
room?" he demanded, sternly.
There was not, and Guy was partici-
pating in the general feeling OF relief
when Barney cried out:
"Hunchback, squire? That doesn't
say anything about a hunchback!"
II thought you couldn't read, Bar
ney?" returned Vlandingham, accom-
panying the words with a severe look.
'No more can't, squire. can spell
out print tolerable we'll, but writin's a
point lryond me. I stopped at your
house, though, on the way in, and Miss
Betty read the note aloud and sent me
along here in a hurry. SnD said I
wasn't to give the note to anyone but
you"
! Was it disappointment or consterna-
ton that afflicted Vlandingham. Guy
wondered as he surveyed him.
81 have been possessed with the idea,
gentlemen" continued the chairman,
addressing the meeting, "that trouble
is to be expected through the agency
of hunchback. This note doesn't de-
scribe such person, but I know who
the man is, If Mr.. Herbert-'' he
turned to Guy and handed. him the
note--"will assist us, we will be able
to capture him without trouble or vio-
lence. Please read that, MI. Herbert.

CHAPTER III.

The town meeting was held in a va
cant room over the Bee Hive store. So
far as Guy could make out, Harmony
and Concord were very much alike, ex-
cept that in Concord the business
places were ranged along a main
street, while in Harmony they were
grouped about a vacant square. This
was a distinction without much of
difference. Tie square, Mr.. Vlanding-
ham informed Guy, was reserved for
the courthouse. In the event that Har-
mony won the contest, Guy wondered
what he and Col. Keever would do
with their courthouse.>
n lamp burned in the entrance lead
ing up to the hall and a stern-looking
man with a rifle over his arm blocked
the way. 49,
"How is everything, Marley?" in
quired Vlandingham.
''Nothin' suspicious SO fur, SQUIRE"
replied Marley, staring at Guy.
SCOT sentries posted all around this
building?"
'Sure. No one that amt on the
square can come within block of it,"
"That's right"
Vlandingham and his-party ascend
ed the stairs. At the top they passed
the: scrutiny of another guard and en-
tered the meeting-room. There were
some 20 or 30 men in the hall and
Vlandingham made for platform at
the farther end of the room, nodding
to citizens on either side and speak
ing a word here and there as he pro-
crossed. -
'I'll introduce you all around after
the meeting is over" he whispered to
Guy. 'You'll want some lots, know
you will, and I'll see that you get
them, no matter what Betty says"
Guy had no time, just then, to once
more ,disavow any intention of pur-
chasing real estate in Harmony, for
Vlandingham was late and the impa-
j. tient people wasted not moment in
having the meeting called to order.
Guy sat on the platform with Wan
s.. bingham, Col. Dingle, Maj. Harp, Capt.
Blue, and Mr.. Boomer. These five, as
Guy quickly learned, constituted a
committee of safety and ways and
means. VlanGingham was. elected
chairman, and as they had no use for

CHAPTER II.-CoNT1NUED.
There came sharp ring at the door
DELL, followed by colloquy between the
maid and some person or persons with
out. The next moment there was a
tread of feet; and four gentlemen
marched into the parlor single file,
their hats in there hands.
The gentleman in the lead was a
very small person, and from the way
his left eye focused itself unswerving-
~ on given point while it's fellow
roved at will there was small doubt
that the left eye was glass. Behind
the leader came gentleman of tow
ering height-he was taller even than
Guy or Mr.. Vlandingham-and his
framework was so loosely put togeth-
er he could not seem to talk without
Earring himself; the third of the quar-
tet had wooden leg and the sleeve of
the fourth was folded over and tucked
in the front of his coat.
Miss Vlandingham," exclaimed the
man with the glass eye, ''your most
obedient!" He bowed and his three
companions bowed with him. The
spokesman executed an "about face"
and directed his attention at Miss
Nlandingham's father, the rest of the
squad participating in the movement.
Evening. SQUIRE" he said, starting a
nod that tilted every head in the row.
Good evening, gentlemen" returned
.Vlandingham, courteously.

Not at all" Mr.. Vlandingham con-
suited his watch. ut is close to eight,
that's fact. Betty and came down
on freight from Jimtown, Colonel,
so that I'd be here in time to connect

turned to Guy. "Mr. Herbert, allow me
to present to you Col. Dingle''-the
man with the glass eye bowed-"Mai.

glant-"Capt. Blue'-ditto from the
gentleman with the wooden leg-''and

sleeve ducked amiably. 1.-The Colonel"
continued Mr.. Nlandingham. ''conducts

Guy wondered if all the colonies in
Dakota conducted papers-'the Major.

store, and Mr.. Boomer-er-er-wh

''Just hang around, squire" smiled
Mr.. Boomer.
That's it," said V.andingham. "Mr.
Herbert, gentlemen, will probably in
vest in some Harmony lots" GUY
raised his hand in protest. ''After the
election" supplemented Mr.. Vlanding-
ham. I'VE have a town meeting to-
night, Mr.. Herbert, and you might go
along with us and rub up against some
of our best citizens.
squirrel" exclaimed the man with
the glass eye, crooking his finger.
Vlandingham bent down, and Col.
Dingle whispered to him earnestly
"Nonsense!" said Vlandingham, in a
low tone, which nevertheless reached
Guys ears. "I'll vouch for him"
When the six of them finally started
for the meeting, Guys conscience was
sadly troubling him. He would rather
a thousand times have remained be-
hind and spent the evening with Miss
Betty.

Caught Himself,

Apropos of the snuff habit, an elo.
quent preacher of Glasgow, Rev. Will
liam Anderson, was SO addicted to
snuff that he would take a pinch in
the pulpit. Once, while uttering the
words: my soul cleaveth to the DUST"
he took pinch of snuff. He lamented
the mastery which the habit ha6
gained over him, and once, while
preaching from the text: ''All is van
ity," treated his nose to the snuff, ane
then said: "And this also is vanity"
