Justice Shaw, not hearing readily,

what the witness said.

Choate..

Justice Shaw bent over the bench

the witness had said that he was a
humble candle-bearer of the Lord.
"Of what denomination are you?"
questioned Choate.

feel the sting of rebuff, the shouts
for his antagonist.
He becomes a little more cautious,
since that first staggering blow has
knocked a portion of sense into his
skull-he waits for an opening to get
in one of his terrific strokes that will
stretch his antagonist senseless at his
feet.
Now Dick begins to play with him
as a cat would a mouse-his superior
education in this line, and the agile
powers which nature has given him,
make this an easy matter; indeed,
there does not seem to be one in all
the crowd who does not see through
the ball-baiting and enjoy 1t. Thus is
the bitter bitten-the man who has
played the hero so many times. and
convulsed the crowd by his antics
with a confused bull, now finds him
self placed in something Of the same
position.

as though he were some prize animal
at a show. He raises his hand, and
his wonderfully powerful voice rings
across the plaza.
"Silencio!"
All noise Immediately ceases-they
wonder what this American senior has
to say to account for his singular ac-
tions.
Dick takes the bull by the horns
he proceeds to invite these good peo-
pie into his confidence, we'll knowing
that they admire bravery, and will
side with the man who appeals to this
feeling.
He begins by telling them of the
situation. the plot against brave

ed. and thus gains the goodwill and
sympathy OF the crowd in the ad
vance.
His manner is fervId. so that he
carries them by storm. Cries of
bravo" are heard, showing that the
people are with him. Not a sound
has as yet been heard from Lopez,
the schemer, or any of his lieutenants.
Perhaps they are too amazed at this
peculiarly bold movement of the en-
envy, and hold their place because
they do not know what to say.
Having carried his auditors along
with him thus far, Dick now springs
a surprise. He boldly proclaims that
one Of the leaders in the miserable
scheme against the welfare of a
young girl is a man whom they have
known and admired in the past by
reason of what they considered his
bravery, but who is now sunk so low
that it is doubtful whether he would

dare to respond to a challenge, and
meet the speaker face to face upon
that platform, without arms, to prove
himself a man capable of defending
himself with the weapons nature gave
him.
Dick knows his man we'll and
doubts not the result of his speech
1t is a contamination devoutly to be
wished, and he has taken the surest
way of accomplishing his end.
Then, with some expression of dis
dain for the man who has sunk so
low, he gives the name of Tordas Bar

sation, for the time was, not long ago.

In the midst of the EXPLANATIONS a
roar is heard. not unlike that which
mad bull might emit as he sees the
red muleta dangled in front of his
eyes This comes from the man who
has been thus publicly challenged by
the gringo horse-tamer. Barcelona
has heard. Barcelona Is even now
pushing his way forward. hurting peo-
pie right and left in his desire to
reach the stage, and thereby making
enemies. Barcelona is no longer the
cool man who used to stand in front
of the bull and await his chance-he
is even now frothing at the mouth
with fury.
Dick sees him coming. and laughs;
1t is his desire to so enrage the other
that he can manipulate him as he
pleases.
He even makes some remark to the
crowd relative to the bullfghter, and
from the laugh that bubbles forth 1t
is evident that he has the popular
esteem on his side to begin with Dick
