But III the state at large the press
was discussing the event from a po-
l1tieal point of view; one section,
small but vehement, raising the cry
of trickery and judicial corruption,
and prophesying the withdrawal of all
foreign capital from the state, while
the other. large and comp!acent,
pointed eloquently to the benefcent
working of the law under which the
cause of the poor woman, suing for
her undoubted right, might be made
the whip to fog corporate tyranny in
to instant subsection.
AS for the dispossessed stock-hold-
ers In the faraway east. they were
slow to take the alarm. and still slower
to get concerted action. Like many
or the western roads, the Western
Pacific had been capitalized largely
by popular subscription; hence there
was no single holder, or group OF
holders, of sufficient financial weight
to enter the field against the spoilers.
But when Loring and his associates
had fairly got the wires hot with the
tale of what had been done, and the
much more alarming tale of what
was likely to be done, the Boston
inertness vanished. A pool of the
stock was formed, with the members
of the advisory board as a nucleus;
money was subscribed. and no less a
legal light than an ex-attorney-genera
of the state of Massachusetts was de-
spatched to the seat of war to adj
wise with the men on the ground.
None the less, disaster out-travels the
swiftest of limited" trains. Before
the heavily-feed consulting attorney
had crossed the Hudson in his western
journey, Wall Street had taken notice,
and there was momentary splash in
the troubled pool of stock exchange
and a vanishing circle of ripples to
show where the Western Pacific had
gone down.
In the meantime Major Guilford,
somewhile president of the Apache
National bank of CASTOR. and ante
cedent to that, the frowning autocrat
of a 25-mile logging road in the North
Carolina mountains, had given bond
in some sort and had taken posses
sion of the company's property and
the offices in the Quintard building.
His first official act as receiver was
to ask for the designations of a dozen
heads of departments, beginning with
the general manager and pausing for
the moment with the supervisor Of
track. That done, he filed the yacan-
cies with political troughsmen; and
with these as assistant decapitators

handed in. It was Kent's wire from
Juniberg, beseeching him to gain time
| at all hazards, and he settled himself
to the task. For 80 dragging minutes
he rang the changes on the various
steps in the suits, knowing well that
the fatal moment was approaching
when-Kent still failing him-he would
be compelled to submit his case with
| out scrap of an affidavit to support it.
The moment came, and still there
was no encouraging whistle Shrek
from the dun plain beyond the open
windows. Hawk was visibly disgust
| ed, and Judge MacFarlane was growing
! justly impatient. Hunnicott began
again. and the judge reproved him
mildly.
Much of what you are saying is en-
tirely irrelevant, Mr.. Hunnicott. This
hearing Is on the plaintiffs amended
petition"
No one knew better than the local
attorney that he was wholly at the
courts mercy; that he had been so
from the moment the judge began to
consider his purely formal defense, en-
tirely unsupported by affidavits or evil
dence of any kind. None the less, he
strung his denials out by every ampli-
fication he could devise. and, having
fired his last shot, sat down in despair
ing breathlessness to hear the judges
summing-up and decision.
Judge MacFarlane was mercifully
brief. On the part of the plaintiff
there was an amended petition fully
fortified by uncontroverted af1idavits.
On the part of the defendant COM
pany there was nothing but formal
denial of the allegations. The duty of
the court in the premises was clear.
The prayer of the plaintiff was grant
ed, the temporary relief asked for was
given and the order of the court would
issue accordingly.
The judge was rising when the still,
hot air of the room began to vibrate
with the tremulous thunder of the
sound for which Hunnicott had been
SO long straining his ears. He was the
first of the three to hear it, and he
hurried out ahead of the others. At
the foot of the stair he ran blindly
against Kent, travel-worn and bag
gard.
you're too late!" he blurted out
We're done up. Hawks petition has
been granted and the road is in the
hands of a receiver"
Kent dashed his fist upon the stair
rail.

In His Own Line.

Jim Jackson was brought before a
western judge charged with chicken
stealing. After the evidence was all
in the justice with a perplexed look,
said, But l do not understand, Jack
son, how it was possible for you to
steal those chickens, when they were
roosting right under the owners win
dow and there were two vicious dogs
in the yard

Technically, your order is unassail-

prove. I am not here to ask you to
reopen the case at your dinner-table,
but ii you will glance over these pa
pers l am sure you will set an early
day for the hearing upon the merits. -
Judge MacFarlane forced a gray
smile.
You vote yea and nay in the same
breath, Mr.. Kent. II I should examine
your papers, should be reopening the
case at my dinner-table. You shall

There's the far off cattle lowing,
There's the humming of the bee;
There's the perfume of bright blossoms,
There's the glimmer of the dew.
Happy? Yes, I'm happy;
You love me and love you!

Can't no thing go to the bad:
Though the moon path on the water,
Silver rippled to the view,
Comes not quite to where we're standing
You love me and 1 love you!
Happy? Yes. I'm happy,
For we're marching soul to soul,
And though age on age retard us
We shall make the splendid goal!
Glory paths shall ripple to us,
Gates shall ope to let us through;
Holding hands just all the way, dear,
You love me and l love you!

with what GOODNESS there was in him
to meet his chief. But as the time
for the hearing drew near he grew
nervous again; and all the keen pains
of utter helplessness returned with re-
newed acuteness when the operator,
who had overheard the Juniberg-Les-
terville wire talk, told him that the
special was hung up at the former sta
ton.
20 my good Lord!" he groaned.
I'm in for it with empty hands!"
None the less. he ran to the baggage
room end of the building and, capturing
an express wagon, had himself trun-
died out to the courthouse.
The judge was at his desk when
Hunnicott entered, and Hawk was on
hand, calmly reading the morning pa
per. The hands of the clock on the
wall opposite the judges desk pointed
to five minutes of the hour, and for
five minutes Hunnicott sat listening,
hoping against hope that he should
hear the rush and roar of the incom-
ing special.
Promptly on the stroke of three the
Judge tapped upon his desk with his
pencil.
Nov, gentlemen, proceed with your
case; and must ask you to be as
brief as possible. have an appoint
ment at four which cannot be post
poned," he said, quietly; and Hawk
threw down mis- paper and began at
once.
Hunnicott heard his opponents ar
igument mechanically, having his ear
attuned for whistle signals and wheel
.drummings. Hawk spoke rapidly and
straight TO his point, as befitted a man
speaking to the facts and with no jury
present to be swayed by oratorical eff
fort. When he came to the summariz-
ing of the allegations in the amended
petition. he did it wholly without
heat, piling up the accusations one
upon another with the careful method
of bricklayer building a wall The
wall-building smile thrust itself upon
Hunnicott with irresistible force as he
listened. If the special engine should
not dash up in time to batter down
the wall
Hawk closed as dispassionately as
he had begun, and the judge bowed
gravely in Hunnicott's direction. The
local attorney got upon his feet, and

ing ready for his departure. But when
the judge set out to walk to the sta
ton, Kent walked with him. There
were five squares to 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 word to his starting point
Il cannot recall the order at this
time, if l would, Mr. Kent; neither
can l 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 it
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 hotly for its innings
This vacation of yours, Judge Mac
Farlane: how long is it likely to last?"
he inquired, muzzling his wrath yet
another moment.
Il cannot say; if could might be
able to give you more definite answer
10 hoo incr fho
my health is very miserable, as I have
said. If I am able to return shortly,
l shall give you the hearing at cham
bers at an early date"
"And if not?"
IF not, am afraid it will have to
| go over to the next term of court"
six MONTHS said Kent; and then
his temper broke loose Judge Mac
Farlane, it is my opinion, speaking
as man to man, that you are a scoun-
drel. 1 know what you have done, and
why you have done it. Also, know
why you are running away, now that
1t is done. So help me God, III bring
you to book for it if 1 have to make
a lifetime job of it! It's all right for
your political hackers; they are thieves
and bushwhackers, and they make no
secret of it. But there is one thing
worse than trickster, and that is a
tr1ckster's tocl!"
For the moment while the train was
hammering in over the switches they
stood facing each other fiercely. 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 OF
ever, how near he came to death. Two
years earlier a Judge had been shot
and manned on western circuit and
since then, MacFarlane had taken a
towards precaution. Here was a man
that knew, and while he lived the cuu
OF trembling might never be put aside
1t was the conductors cry of "All
aboard" that broke the homicidal
spell. Judge MacFarlane started
guiltily, shook off the angry eye-grir
OF his accuser. and went to take his
place in the Pullman. One minute
later the eastbound train was thread
Ing its way out among the switches
of the lower yard. and Kent had burst
into the telegraph Office to wire the
volcanic news to his chief.
