the judge set out TO walk to the sta
ton, Kent walked with him. There
were five squares 10 be measured, and
for five squares he hung at MacFar-
lanes elbow and the plea he made
should have won him a hearing. Yet
the Judge remained impossible. and at
the end of the argument turned back
in a word to his starting point
II cannot recall the order at this
time, IL would. Mr.. Kent; neither
can | set day for the hearing on the
merits. What has been done was done
in open court and in the presence OF
your attorney. who offered no evidence
in contradiction OF the allegations set
forth in the plaintiffs amended petit
ton, although they were supported by
more than a dozen afidavits; and II
cannot be undone in the streets. Since
you have not improved your opportu-
mites, you must abide the conse-
quences. The law cannot be hurried"
They had reached the station and the
eastbound train was whistling for Gas
ton. Kent's patience was nearly gone.
and the auburn-hued temperament
was clamoring holly for its innings.
This vacation of yours. Judge Mac
Farlane: how long is II likely 20 last?"
he inquired. muzzling his wrath yet
another moment.
Il cannot say; II could | might be
able to give you a more definite answer
as to the hearing on the merits. But
my health is very miserable. as have
said II am able to return shortly.

bers at an early date"
"And II not7"
IF not. am afraid II will have 20

his temper broke loose. Judge Mac
Farlane, It is my opinion, speaking
as man to man. that you are a scoun-
drel. know what you have done, and
why you have done IT, Also, know
why you are running away, now that
II is done. So help me God, I'll bring
you to book for II II have to make
a lifetime job OF IT. It's all right for
your political hackers; they are thieves
and bushwhackers, and they make nc
secret of 1t. But there is one thing
worse than a trickster. and that is a
trickster's tool"
For the moment while the train was
hammering in over the switches they
stood facing each other iercely. all
masks flung aside. each after his kind;
the younger man flushed and battle
mad; the elder white, haggard. trem.
ulous Kent did not guess, then o:
ever, how near he came to death. Two
years earlier a Judge had been shoi

since then, MacFarlane had taken .

Of trembling might never be put aside
II was the conductors cry OF "Al
aboard" that broke the homicida
spell. Judge MacFarlane started
guilty, shook off the angry eye-gril
OF his accuger. and went to take hi
place In the Pullman. One minut'
later the eastbound train was thread
ing It's way out among the switches
Of the lower yard, and Kent had burs
into the telegraph Office to wire tn
volcanic news TO his chief.

Judge tapped upok his desk with his
pencil.

threw down his raper and began at

Hunnicott heard his opponents ar

CHAPTER xI.
THE LAST DITCH.

1t was a mark of the later and larg-
er development of David Kent that he
was able to keep his head in the mo-
ment of catastrophies. In boyhood
his hair had been a brick-dust red, and
having the temperament which be-
longs Of right to the auburn-hued, his
first impulse was to face about and
make a personal matter OF the legal
robbery with Judge MaoFarlane.
Happily for all concerned. Hunni-
cS;t's better counsels prevailed, and
when the anger at passed Kent found
himself growing cool and determined.
Once free of the courthouse, Kent
began a rapid-fire Of questions.
"Where is Judge MacFarlane stop
ping?"
"At the Mid-Continent"
"Have you any idea when he in
tends leaving town."

"rhat would be the Flyer east at six
o'clock. Is he going east?"
Come to think Of il. believe he Is.
Somebody said he was going to Hot
Springs. He's in miserable health"
Kent saw more possibilities. and
worse. and quickened his pace little.
"what do we do?" asked Hunnicott.
willing to take little lesson in prac-
tice as he ran
''rhe affldavits have brought with
me and the kilograms which are watt
ing at the station must convince Mac
Farlane that he has made a mistake.
We shall prepare motion for the dis
charge of the receiver and for the va
cation of the order appointing him,
and ask the Judge to set an early day
for the hearing on the merits OF the
case. He can't refuse"
Hunnicott shook his head.
1T has been all cut and dried from
way back he objected. They
won't let you upset 1t at the last mo-
ment"
wen give them a run for theil
money" said Kent.
BY five o'clock Kent was In the lobby
of the Mid-Continent, sending his caro-
UP to the judges room. Word came
back that the Judge was in the cafe
fortifying the inner man in prepare
ton for his journey, and Kent die
not stand upon ceremony. From thu
archway of the dining-room h'
marked down his man at small
table in the corner, and went to hin

"The exigencies of the case mus

LOST Z re SIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking.

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records of
great numbers of cases that add to the
testimony.

and he decided that there would be
as much, and even more money in Il
in this country than there was in Eng

in the necessary waters and brought
