CHAPTER Xxx.

4 VOW, in that blazing noon Ca
M naan looked upon a strange
sight-an open carriage whirl-
Il ing through Main street be-
hind two galloping bays, upon the back
seat a ghostly white old man with
closed eyes, supported by two pale la
dies, his head upon the shoulder of the
taller, while beside the driver a young
man who's coat and hands were
bloody, worked over the hurts of an in
jured dog. Sam Warden's whip sang
across the horses; lather gathered on
their tanks, and Ariers voice steadily
urged on the pace, "Quicker, Sam, if
you can" For there was little breath
left in the body of Eskew Arp.
Mamie, almost as white as the old
man, was silent, but she had not hesi-
tated in her daring now that she had
been taught to dare. She had not
come to be Ariel's friend and honest
follower for nothing, and it was Ma
mic who had cried to Joe to lift Eskew
into the carriage. 'You must come.
too," she said. 1--WE will need you"
And so it came to pass that under the
eyes of Canaan Joe Louden rode in
Judge Pixies carriage at the bidding of
Judge Pixies daughter.
Toward Ariel's own house they sped
With the stricken octogenarian, for he
was "alone in the world" and she
would not take him to the cottage
where. he had lived for many years by
himself, a bleak little house, a derelict

men were beginning their dinners IN
der the big trees, but as Sam Warden
drew in the lathered horses at the gate
they set down their tin buckets hastily
and ran to help Joe lift the old man
out. Carefully they bore him into the
house and laid him upon a bed in one
OF the finished rooms. He did not
speak or move, and the workmen IN
covered their heads as they went out,
but Joe knew that they we're mistaken:
Its all right, Mr.. Arp" he said, as!
Ariel knelt by the bed with water and
restoratives. Its all right Don't
you worry" ..
Then the veterans lips twitched, and,
though his eyes remained closed, Joe

back seat, and Martin Pike saw it stop
by the group in the middle Of the
street where Joe stood, the wounded
dog held to his breast by one arm, the
old man, white and half fainting, sup
ported by the other. Martin Pike saw
this and more. He saw Ariel Tabor
and his own daughter leaning from the
carriage, the arms Of both pityingly
extended to Joe Louden and his two
burdens, while the stunned and silly
crowd stood round them staring, clouds
OF dust settling down upon them
through the hot air.

Il S the judge continued his walk
Il down Main street he wished
! profoundly that the butterfly,
4 4 which exhibited no annoyance,
had been Of greater bulk and more ap-
proachable, and it was the evil fortune
of Joe's mongrel to encounter him in
the sinister humor of such a wish un-
fulfilled.
Responsibility dwelt at Beaver Beach
under the care of Mr.. Sheehan until
his master should return, and Sheehan
was kind, but the small dog found the
world lonely and time long without
Joe. He had grown more and more
restless, and at last, this hot morning,
having managed to evade the eye of
all concerned in his keeping, made off
unobtrusively, partly by swimming,
and, reaching the road, cantered into
town, his ears erect with anxiety. Bent
upon reaching the familiar Office, he
passed the grocery, from the doorway
Of which the pimply checked clerk had
thrown bad potato at him month
before. The same clerk had just laid
down the Tocsin as Responsibility
went by, and, inspired to great deeds
hsbehalf Of justice and his native city,
ae. rushed to the door, lavishly seized
this time a perfectly good potato and
hurled it with a result which costa
sized him, for it took the mongrel fair
II aside the head, which it matched in
size.
The luckless Respectability's purpose
to reach Joe's stairway had been en-
tiTely definite, but upon this violence
he forgot it momentarily. It is not
easy, to- keep things in mind when one

enough to strike them simultaneously.
Yelping and half blinded, he detected
tQscross Main street. Judge Pike had
elected to cross in the+opposite direc-
ton, and the two met in the middle
Of the street.
The encounter was miraculously it
ted to the judges need. Here was no
butterfly, but solid body, light with
al, a wet, muddy and dusty yellow dog
efhinently kickable. The man was
heavily built about the legs, and the

mine. Who else could give it?''
"Look here" he said, advancing to-
ward her, don't try to fool me! You
haven't done all this by yourself. Who
hired these workmen?"
Remembering her first interview with
! him, she rose quickly before he could
come near her. ''Mr. Louden made
most of the arrangements for me-" she
replied quietly, "before he went away.
He will take charge of everything
when he returns. You haven't forgot
ten that told you intended to place
my affairs in his hands?"
He had started forward, but at this
he stopped and stared at her inarticu-
lately.
"You remember?" she said, her hands
resting negligently upon the back of
the chair. "Surely you remembers"
She was not in the least afraid of
him, but coolly watchful of him. This
had been her habit with him since her
return. She had seen little of him ex-
cept at table, when he was usually
grimly laconic, though now and then
she would hear him joking heavily
with Sam Warden in the yard, or, with
evidently humorous intent, grooming at
Mamie over Eugenes health; but it
had not escaped Ariel that he was on
his part watchful of herself and upon
his guard.
He did not answer her question. and
1t seemed to her as she continued
steadily to meet his hot eyes that he
was trying to hold himself under some
measure of control, and a vain effort
it proved.
You go back to my housev he burst
out, shouting hoarsely. "You get back
there! You stay therev'
NO. she said, moving between him
and the door. Mamie and are going
for drive.'
You go back to my housev' He fol-
lowed her, waving an arm fiercely at
her. Don't you come around here
trying to run over me! You talk about
your 'affairs' All you've got on earth
Is this two for a nickel old shack over
your head and a bushel basket of dis
t1llery stock that you can sell by the
pound for old paperv' He threw the
words in her face, the bull bass voice
scanned and cracked with falsetto. "Old
paper, old rags, old iron, bottles, old
Clothes! You talk about your affairs!
Who are you? Rothschild? You haven't
got any affairs!"
Not look, not word, not a motion

sound and gesture in which he seemed
fairly to envelop himself. Least of all

"When did you find this out?' she

oughly winded for that but in his
brilliant and despairing eyes shone the
agony of a cry louder than the tongue
of dog could utter-"O master, 0 all
the god know, where are you in my
mortal need?'
Now indeed he had a gantlet to
run, for the street was lined with
those who awaited him, while the pur-
suit grew closer behind. A number Of

and he hesitated for a second, which
gave the opportunity for surer aim.

Bantry, standing with Judge Pike at
the policeman's elbow. "There's your
chance"
But before the revolver could be dis
charged Responsibility had begun to
run again, hobbling on three legs and
lodging feebly. A heavy stone struck
him on the shoulder, and he turned
across the street, making for the Ma
tional House corner, where the joyful
clerk brandished his pitchfork. Going
slowly, he almost touched the pimply
one as he passed, and the clerk, al
ready rehearsing in his mind the hon
ors which should follow the brave
stroke, raised the tines above the little
dogs head for the coup de grace. They
did not descend, and the daring youth
failed of fame as the laurel almost en-
braced his brows. A hickory walking
stick was thrust between his legs, and
he, expecting to strike, received a
blow upon the temple sufficient for his

bent silently over the fourth. upon the
pillow, and Ariel saw waveringly, for
her eyes suddenly filed, that the colo
mel laid his unsteady hand upon
Eskew's, which was outside the cover

gently-''it's not on-on both sides, is it,

despite his hard endeavor to wink them
away, and he turned from the bed too
