 This was agreed by the meeting, more than one of the audience declaring loudly | that MT. Sanders was the very man for | the occasion. By unanimous agreement | it was decided that one of the most dis | tinguished lawyers in the State should
 be retained to defend the young men. 1 1t was the personality of Meriwether l Clopton rather than his remarks. that | soothed and subdued the crowd which had
 assembled at the court house. In his own | mind, however. he was not at all sure that the radical leaders at Washington would not be driven by their outra geous
 rancour to do the worst that could be done. 7a MT. Sanders was the first to leave the court room, but he was followed and
 overtaken by Silas Tomlin. Be Jigged, Stlas, ef you don't look | like you've seed a ghost!" exclaimed
 MT. Sanders.
 Worse than that. Sanders: Paul has been carried off. But I wanted to see you. Sanders, about thls business. You'll
 need money. and if you can't get it any where else, come to me; I'll take 1t as | favor.
 MT. Sanders mounted his horse-known

 Although the murder of Hotchkiss was | more than a week old, a considerable | number of negroes were lounging about | the premises of Judge Butts-he had once | been a justice of the peace-and in the
 road near by. They moved about with | something like awe, talking in low tones or in whispers. Mir. Sanders tied his | horse to a swinging limb and went in. | He was met at the door by Mahlon him. self. Why, come in, William, come in an

 Judge Butts dignity was of the heavy and oppressive kind. This dignity, which was fortified in ignorance, had received
 considerable reinforcement from the
 fact that he was a candidate for county office on the Republican ticket. ''Mahlon, if you don't go an run that | gang of niggers off, I'll take the shot

 "Set down, Becky" said MT. Sanders

In due time the Hacking Roan carried
 MT. Sanders across Murder Creek to the plantation of Felix Samples, where the | news of the arrest of the young men occasioned both grief and indignation.
 They had arrived at the dance about z o'clock, and started home between II
 and 12. Gabriel. Mir. Samples said, was
 not one of the party.
 Be jigged of l don't blieve Gabriel ie In for it." said MT. Sanders to himself as he was going back to Shady Dale. MT. Sanders went straight to the Lame- den Place to consult with Gabriel's grand mother. Meriwether Clopton and Mss Fanny Tomlin were already there, each having called for the purpose of offering | her such comfort and consolation as they
 could. Lucy Lumsdens mind and heart were wholly centred on Gabriel and his affairs. She was a frail, delicate woman. gentle in all her ways, and ever. ready

Seven years ago the State of illinois granted to the Physicians' Institute of Chicago charter.
 There was need of something above the ordi- nary method of treatment for chronic diseases something more than any one specialist or any number Of specialists acting independently could do, So the State itself, under the powers granted h by its general laws, gave the power to the Physicians' Institute to furnish to the sick such help as would make them well and strong.
 Ever since its establishment this Institute has endeayored in every possible way to carry out the original purposes of its establishment under the benelcient laws of the State.

 He never finished the sentence. A pistol shot rang out and Hotchkiss fell like a log.

 well. what in the name of the seven stars are you doing out here in the woods at this time of night?' cried Jesse Tid- well, and he laughed with humorous scorn when Gabriel told him.
 "You missed 1t tonight, Toliver." said Francis Bethune. "Feer' sampies"-his name was Felix-''was considerably put out because you didn't come. And the girls-Tolliver. when did you get acquaint- ed with them? They all know you. Tid- well, who was the red-headed girl that raved so about Toliiver's curlsT'
 "oh, exclaimed Jesse Tidwell, "that was Amy Rowland. It's no use for Gabriel to blow his horn, when he has all the girls in that part of the country to blow 1t for him.
 There's another thing you missed, Tol- liver. But Feel Samples has a COW that gives apple brandy. and old Burrel Bo- harmon, the one-legged fiddler. must have milked her dry. for along about half past ten he kind of rolled his eyes. and fetched a gasp, and wobbled out of his chair, and lay on the floor just as If he was stone dead"
 In a short time the young men had reached the tavern, where the team and vehicle belonged. As they drew up in front of the door, Jesse Tidwell contin- uing and completing his description Of Burrell Bohannon, exclaimed: "Yes, sir, he fell and he lay there. He may have kicked a time or two, and l think he mumbled something, but he was as good as dead"
 Bridalbin, restless and uneasy, had been wandering about the town, and came up just in time to hear this last remark. At that moment, a negro issued from the tavern with a lantern, and Bridalbin was not at all surprised to see Gabriel Tol- liver with the rest; and he wondered what mischief the young men had been engaged in. Some one had been badly hurt or killed. That much he could gath CT from Tidwells declaration; but who? He went to his lodging and to bed in very uncomfortable frame of mind.

CHAPTER XXI.
 MT. Sanders Searches for Evidence

MT. SanQeT5 SeaECueS LOI GV1ueuCc'
 The news of the shooting of Hotchklss spread like wildfire. It created consterna- ton among the negroes, who ran to and fro, hither and wonder. like wild crea- lures. Many of the whites, especially the thoughtless and irresponsible, con -emplated the tragedy with a certain de- gree of satisfaction, feeling that a very dangerous man had been providentially removed. On tne other hand. the older and more conservative citizens deplored
 it, knowing well that it would involve the whole community in trouble.
 Bridalbin promptly disappeared from Shady Dale, but returned in a few days accompanied by squad of soldiers, and two nights after their arrival, when the officer in charge, who was member of the military commanders staff, had in- vestigated the killing, he gave orders for the arrest of Gabriel Tolliver, Francis Bethune, Paul Tomlin and Jesse TidwelL The arrests were made at night, and so quietly that when the town awoke to the facts the soldiers and their prisoners were we'll on their Wayy to Malvern.
 One by one the citizens instinctively as- sembled at the court house, No call was issued; the meeting was not preconcerted: there was no common understanding: but all felt that there must be d conference
 consultation At first there was some talk of d rescue, and this would have been feasible, no doubt, but while Lawyer Tid- well was violently advocating his course
 MT. Sanders mounted the judges bench and rapped loudly for order When this had been secured. he moved that Meri- wether Clopton be called to the chair
 The motion had as many seconds as there were men in the room.
 "Mv friends" he said. "I feel as if we were all in the midst of a dream, and therefore am at loss what to say to you The best that l can do is to coun- sel moderation and calmness. The blow that has fallen on a few of us strikes at all, for what has happened to some of our young men may easily happen to the rest especially If we meet this usur- patton of civil justice with measures that are violent and retaliatory. We can only hope that the Hand that has led us into the sea of troubles by which we have been overwhelmed of late win lead us safely out again. For myself, am fully persuaded that what now seems a calam- ity will. in some shape or otAer, make us all stronger and better. am an old man, and this has been my experience. You need have no fears for the welfare of the young men. They will probably
 be tried before a military court, but if there is a spark of justice in such a trl- bunaI. our young men will shortly be re- stored to us. We have met here today. not to discuss measures of vengeance and retaliation, but to consult together as to the best means of securing evidence of the innocence of the young men. Speak, ing for myself, think it would be well ,ta place tho whole-matter in ths- hands.
