God knows, poor little lad"
''Wil you shut up!' cried Mahaffy
savageIy
Solomon
why do you go building on that idea?
Why should any one harm him-what
earthly purpose
Il tell you, Solomon, we are the pivotal
point in a vast circle OF crime. This is
blow at me-this is revenge, sir, neither
more nor less! They have struck at me
through the boy; it is as plain as day"
What did the overseer say?'
Just that they found Miss Malroy gone
from Belle Plain this morning, and the
boy with her.
This is like you, Price! How do you
know they haven't spent the night at
some neighbor's?''
THE nearest neighbor is five or six
miles distant. Miss Malroy and Hanni-
bal were seen along about dusk in the
grounds at Belle Plain; do you mean to
tell me you consider it likely that they
set out on foot at that hour, and with
out a word to any one, to make visit?''
inquired the Judge; but Mahaffy did not
contend for this point.
What are You going to do first,
Price?'
Have a look over the grounds, and
talk with the slaves"
where's the brother-wasn't he at
Belle Plain last night
TT seems he went to Memphis yester-
day"
They plodded forward in silence; now
and again they were passed by some
man on horseback whose destination was
the same as their own, and then at last
they caught sight OF Belle Plain in its
grove Of trees.

Howard Carter, driving the Washing
ton ear which is out on a 1Oo,0OO-mile
trip, and who took part in the Newark
IN. j. Star endurance run last week,
not only won the class prize but carried
of the sweepstakes honors. He finished
the run with a perfect road score, and
on the final examination of cars came
through with the least points against his
car.
The Barnard Motor Company has sold

All Of the net profits OF the Grand
Prize, Vanderbilt Cup, and light car
races, to be held at Savannah on Nov
ember q and 30, will go to the militia
Of Savannah. The Savannah militia,
which is composed OF commands having
long and proud history, six Of the
fourteen companies being more than 100
years old, has always co-operated active
ly with the officials Of the Savannah
Automobile Club in promoting past
events. To their efficiency in guarding
the course in the previous Grand Prize
races is attributed the securing OF that
race and the acquisition OF the Vanderbilt
Cup race this year. In none OF the
three big races held in Savannah has
there ever been an injury to a specta-
tor, except to one man, who received
the point OF a bayonet in his side when
he insisted in an attempt to cross the
course during the progress OF the first

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Judge Takes Charge.

All work on the plantation had
stopped, and the hundreds Of slaves
rnen, women, and children-were gath
cred about the house. Among these
moved the members Of the dominant
race. The Judge would have attached
himself to the first group. but he heard
whispered question, and the answer,
Miss Malroys lawyer
Clearly 1t was not for him to mix
with these outsiders, these curiosity
seekers. He crossed the lawn to tho
house, and mounted the steps. In the
doorway was big Steve, while groups of
men stood about in the hall, the hum of
busy, purposeless talk pervading the
place. Che judge frowned. This was all
wrong.
Has Mr.. Ware returned from Mem
phis7" he asked of Steve.

'Then show me into the library" said
the judge with bland authority, surren-
dering his hat to the butler. Come

Steve to close the door. Now, boy,

CABIN INDUSTRIES
OF SOUTH ON SHOW
Bazaar for Aid of "Poor
Whites" Has Opening.

Hundreds of visitors, including society
women and charity workers, yesterday
thronged the bazaar of mountain crafts
and cabin industries given by the South
ern Industrial Educational Association in
the Southern Building.
Several hundred dollars was realized
from the sale of baskets, blankets, en-
broidery, furniture, and other articles
made by, mountain children. The money
will be devoted to the promotion OF the
Industrial training of the impoverished
and uneducated white children Of the
Southern mountains.
Attention was attracted by the embroid-
cry exhibit representing the work of the
children attending Mrs. Thomas Nelson
Pages school at Beaver DAM Va. The
exhibit Of hand-carved mission furniture
made by children probably was the most
interesting of the bazaar.
Mrs. Martha S. Gielow, founder Of the
association, presided over the official
room, assisted by Mrs. Charles Willis
Fisher, Miss McMullen, and Miss Deeble.
Mrs. Rust Smith was in charge OF the
weavings and basket room.
Miss Margaret Parker directed the
flower and ice-cream room, assisted by
Misses Hollerith, Hoge, Wilson, Noyes.
Mary Parker, and Miss Quirollo Mrs.
Leigh Robinson presided over the tea
room, assisted by Mrs. Charles Marbury
and Mrs. H. S. Venn. Mrs. David White,
who was in charge Of the crafts room,
was aided by Mrs. William Heron, Mrs.
Charles A. Davis, Mrs. Diclxins, Mrs
Caleb Miller and Mrs. Philip Smith.

Yes, sah."
''Who sleeps here?"
Just little Steve and three Of the
women; they sleeps at the back of the
house, sah.'
mo sounds were heard during the
night?"
NO, sah."
I'll see the overseer-what's his name?
Hicks? Suppose you go for him, said
the judge addressing the sheriff.
The sheriff was gone from the room
only a few moments, and returned with
the information that Hicks was down at
the bayou, which was to be dragged.
"Why?' inquired the Judge.
Hicks says Miss Malroy's been acting
mighty queer ever since Charley Norton
was shot-distracted like. He says he
noticed 1t, and that Tom Ware noticed
it."
How does he explain the boys disap-
pearance?'
He reckons she throwed herself in,
and the boy tried to drag her out, like
he naturally would, and got drawed in"
''Humph! I'll trouble Mr.. Hicks to
step here" said the judge quietly.
There's Mr.. Darlington and couple
Of strangers outside who've been asking
about Miss Malroy and the boy. Seems
like the strangers knowed her and him
back yonder in Moth Carolina" said the
sheriff. as he turned away.
IN see them" The sheriff went from
the room and the Judge dismissed the
servants.
well what do you think, Price?" ask
ed Mahaffy anxiously when they were
alone.
rubbish, Take my word for it. Solo
mon this blow is leveled at me. l have
been too forward in my attempts to sup
press the carnival Of crime that Is raging
through West Tennessee. You'll observe
that Miss Malroy disappeared at mo-
ment when the public is disposed to
think she has retained me as her legal
adviser: probably she will be set at lib
erty when she agrees to drop the mat
ter OF Norton's murder. As for the boy,
they'll use him to compel my silence and
inaction." The judge took a long breath.
yet there remains one point where the
boy is concerned that completely baffles
me. II we knew Just little more Of his
antecedents II might cause me to make
a startling and radical move"
Mahaffy was clearly not impressed by
the vague generalities IN which the judge
was dealing.
There you go, Price, as usual trying
to convince yourself that you are the
center of everything he said, in a tone
of much evaporation. Let's get down
to business! What does this man Hicks
mean by limiting at suicide? You saw
Miss Malroy yesterday"
You have put your finger on point
Of some significance" said the Judge.
''She bore evidence Of the shock and loss
she had sustained; aside from that she
was quite as she has always been"
''Well. what do you want to see Hicks
for2 What do you expect to learn from
him?''
II don't like his insistence on the idea
that Miss Malroy is mentally unbalanced.
It's . question OF some delicacy-the law,
sir, fully recognizes that It seems to
me he il overanxious to account for her
disappearance In manner that can COM
promise no one"
