Hannibal, he had gone white to the
lips, and his\small hand clutched hers
desperately.
Murrell, with all his hardihood,
realized that a too great confidence
had placed him in an awkward posi-

sation with Darlington and Charley
Norton.
Hicks, the Belle Plain overseer,
pushed his way 10 Murrell's side.
Here, John Murrell, amt you go

inquired.
Murrell turned quickly with sense
OF relief.

said, but his face wore bleak look.

ly.
Betty now seated herself In the car
riage, with Hannibal beside her,
quietly determined to miss nothing.
The Judge, feeling that he had come
into his own, leaned elegantly against
the wheel, and explained the merits
of each shot as 1t was made.
Il hope you gentlemen are not go

said Murrell, approaching the group
about the carriage. Mr.. Norton,

Murrell stalked back to the line.

1T would be hard to beat that"
they heard Murrell say.
AT least 1t would be quite possible
to equal IT, said Darlington, ad-
vancing with HannibaPs rifle in his
hands.
1t was tossed to his shoulder, and
poured out it's contents In bright
stream of flame. There was a mo-

Judge.

Darlington. And | shall hope. sir,

Our sentiments exactly, ma'am,

Perhaps you'd like to bet little

"I'm ready to do that too, sir" re-
sponded Norton quietly.

Tom Ware gave him glance OF

This" the speaker was Judge
Price; this is the place for me. They
are warm-hearted people. sir; a
prosperous people, and a patriotic
people with an unstinted love OF coun-
try. I'd like to hang out my sh:ngle

and Raleigh. Betty had carried Han

for I'm OFF," said the Judge.
Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door OF the city tavern, where he
found Mr.. Pegloe directing the activi-
ties OF small colored boy who was
mopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known his needs.
Coin to locate. are you?" said Mr..
Pegloe.
MY friends urge 1t, sir, and | have
taken the matter under considera-
tion," answered the Judge.
We'll, the only empty house In
town Is right over yonder; 1t belongs
to young Charley Norton out at
Thicket Point Plantation"
The house Mr.. Pegloe pointed out
was a small frame building; 1t stood
directly on the street, with a narrow
porch across the front, and a shed
addition at the back. The Judge scut-
quickened. What a location, and
what fortunate chance that Mr.. Nor
ton was the owner of this most desir-
able tenement! He must see him at
once. AS he turned away to recross
the street and learn from Mr.. Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
reached, Norton himself galloped into
the village. Catching sight of the
Judge, he reined in his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.
Il was hoping, sir. ! might tind

"A wish | should have echoed had

Judge. IL was about to do myself
the honor to wait upon you at your
plantation"
Then l have saved you a long
walk" said Norton. He surveyed the
judge rather dubiously, but listened
with kindness as he explained the
business that would have taken him
to Thicket Point.
THE house is quite at your serv
ice. sir" he said. at length.
The rent" began the Judge.
But Mr.. Norton. with a delicacy
equal TO his own. entreated him not
to mention the rent. The house had
come to him as boot In a trade. 1t
had been occupied by a doctor and a
lawyer; these gentlemen had each de-
| camped between two days, heavily In
