An evidence of how easily the roads
of Montana can be greatly i'm
proved by means of heavy machinery
was given this week by a demonstra-
tion OH Montana avenue in Billings.
This thoroughfare, other than the
paved portion was in exceedingly bad
condition caused by many rains and
heavy traffic, but as a result OF two
days work with an improved grader,
drawn by a 40 horse power engine, it
was placed in condition equal to
that of a boulevard and automobiles
can now speed over it at so miles an
hour. The machinery company main-
tains that any OF the country roads
can be as effectively and readily i'm
proved, and that the machine can
grade at least two miles daily. Act
ing upon the recommendation of the
Chamber of Commerce, it is under
stood that the city council of Billings
will purchase heavy grader for use
OH the unpaved streets.

CHAPTER xxxiIl.

A Crisis at the Courthouse.
Just at daybreak Yancy was reused
by the pressure Of Q hand on his
shoulder. and opening his eyes saw
that the Judge was bending over him.
"Dress!" he said briefly. There's
every prospect Of trouble-get your
rife and come with mel"
Yancy noted that this prospect OF
trouble seemed to AFFORD the Judge q
pleasurable sensation; indeed. he had
quite lost his former air OF somber
and suppressed melancholy.
II let you sleep. thinking you need
ed the rest" the Judge went on But
ever since midnight we've been on the
verge OF riot and possible bloodshed.
They've arrested John Murrell-it's
claimed he's planned a servile rebel

wormed his way into his confidence.

into Memphis, but the local magis-

were swarming into town armed to

across country to Raleigh"
YES" said Yancy.
well, the sheriff has refused to
take Murrell into custody. Hues has
him down at the courthouse, but
whether or not he Is going to be able
to hold him ia another matter!"
Yancy and Hannibal had dressed by
this time, and the Judge led the way
from the house. The Scratch Hitler
looked about him. Across the street
a group Of men. the greater number OF
whom were armed, stood in front OF
Pegloe's tavern. CHANGING in the d.
rection Of the courthouse. he OBJ
served that the square before 1t held
other groups. But what impressed
him more was the ominous silence
that was everywhere. At his elbow,
the Judge was breathing deep.

I saw Judge Morrow this morning at
four o'clock-I told him l would OBJ

sideration evidence Of a striking and
sensational character, evidence which
would show conclusively that Murrell
should be held to await the action OF

Hannibal.
He was ~ inexperienced as q
child in the use Of firearms. and he
had to deal with scoundrels who had
neither mercy nor generous feeling
but his courage was magnificent"
Presently Hannibal was deep in his
account of those adventures he had
shared with Miss Betty.
And Miss MAlroy-where is she
now?" asked the Judge. in the first
pause Of the boys narrative.
She's at Mr.. Bowen's house. Mr..
Darlington and Mr.. Cavendish are
here too. Mrs. Cavendish stayed
down yonder at the Bates plantation.

A little later they went downstairs.
where the Judge had Yancy make up
a bed for himself and Hannibal on
the floor. He would watch alone be-
side Mahaffy. he was certain this
would have been the dead mans wish:
then he said good night and mounted
heavily to the floor above to resume
his vigil and his musings.

threw themselves into the saddle and
galloped on. The Judge midway Of
the meadow roared out q furious pro

to the highroad and vanished from
sight. and the judges shaking legs
bore him swiftly In the direction OF
the gaunt figure on the ground.
Mahany struggled to rise. for he
was hearing his friends voice now.
the voice Of utter anguish, calling his
name. At last painful effort brought
him to his knees. He saw the Judge
clothed principally in a gaily colored
bed-Quilt. hatless and shoeless. his
face sodden and bleary from his

and staggered toward him. his hand
over his wound, his features drawn

at his friends feet.

Judge knelt beside him.

appointment" whispered Mahaffy; .
bloody spume was gathering on his
lips. and he stared up at his friend
with CLASSY eyes.
In very shame the Judge hid his
face In his hands, while sobs shook
him.
"Solomon-Solomon. why did you
do thisf" he cried miserably.
The harsh lines on the dying mans
face erased themselves.
You're the only friend I've known
in twenty years OF loneliness, Price.

to touch him on the brow, the soft

his friend.
He was living over the past. He
