"PM ONLY A LITTLE GIRL
Failing Eyesioht Responsible for an
Old Mans MIstake-Rebuke
Hardly Effective.

A certain group Of youngsters in an
exclusive West Side residential sec
ton had been very noisy throughout
the forenoon.
The children were still doing their
utmost to initiate q bedlam, when
very angry old man appeared at the
door Of a nearby apartment house.
He was quite old, and it was evident
that his eyesight was not the best,
but he finally succeeded in picking
out youngster who was aiding very
strenuously in the noise making.
The aged man walked over to the
child, took it by the hand and walked
back to the apartment. When he
reached the doorway he turned to the
child and said:
Don't you know It's against the
law to make so much noise?"
yes, sir" was the meek reply.
well, don't you know that you'll
be arrested and put in Jail. and then
you can never be president Of the

Or. courtenay, MutiIated Veteran Of
the Confederate Army, as He Was
In Tippah.

DR.. Courtenay entered the Confeder-
ate army as surgeon, and after the
surrender found himself without home,
family, or fortune. His right coat
sleeve dangled empty: the hand that
had saved SO many lives could not
save itself. 1t had been amputated
after Gettysburg, and the story goes
that Lee himself-the name is always
pronounced slowly and reverently in
Tippah-had said, II wish could give
my hand to save yours, DOCTOR" An
other loss, equally grave, but less
conspicuous, was that of his left lung.
1t was this trouble that had brought
him to Tippah's mild climate, for near
ly 20 years he had lived there alone in
his three-room cottage, riding out sv-
cry day to his little farm, five miles
from town. and reading and smoking
far into the night. His library was

toward the door.
Did you walk out, Judge Price?''
asked Betty kindly.
~ Nothing more than healthful ex-
ercise-but we, will not detain you,
ma'am; the pleasure OF seeing you Is
something we had not reckoned on"
The judges speech was thick and
unctuous with good feeling. He wished
that Mahatfy might have been there
to note the reserve and dignity OF
his department.
But you must let me order lunch
con for YOU" said Betty. At least
this questionable old man was good
to Hannibal.
II couldn't think OF it, ma'am-'
You'll have glass OF wine, then,''
urged Betty Hospitality. For the mo-

clearly the judges besetting sin.

CHAPTER XVIII.
Betty Leaves Belle plain.


Hannibal had devoted himself 10y
ally to the judges gloritication, and
Betty heard all about the letter, the
shutting OF the candles and the re-
ward OF five thousand dollars. 1t vast
ly increased the child's sense OF I'm
portance and satisfaction when he
discovered she had known nothing OF
these matters until he told her OF
them.
why, where would Judge Price
get so much money, Hannibal?" she
asked, greatly astonished.
He won't have to get it, Miss Bet
ty; Mr.. Mahaffy says he don't reckon
no one will ever tell who wrote the
letter-he lows the man who done
that will keep pretty mum-he just
dissent tell" the boy explained.
"No. suppose not" and Betty
saw that perhaps, after all, the judge
had not assumed any very great tinan-
cial responsibility.
HE can't be coward, though, Han
nibal!" she added, for she under
stood that the risk Of personal vio-
lence which he ran was genuine. She
had formed her own unsympathetic
estimate of him that day at Boggs'
race.track; Mahafy in his blacklist
hour could have added nothing to It.
Twice since then she had met him in
Raleigh, which had only served to fix
that first impression.

Kodiak, Alaska. June 9, via Tug to
Seward, June 13.-Kodiak and Woody
island villages are buried under foot
of ashes as result of the eruption of
Kalmi volcano, beginning Thursday
afternoon and lasting 48 hours.
No lives have been lost, but many
other settlements near the volcano
must have suffered indescribably.
The revenue cutter Manning was in

many lives.

judge soothingly. He gave her a
glance OF great concern and turned
to Hannibal. Dear lad, you'll be very

me before start for the east.
It had occurred to Betty that she
had done little or nothing for the
child: probably this would be her last
opportunity.
The state OF the judges feelings
was such that with elaborate alb
sence of mind he poured himself
second drink of whisky; and that
there should be no doubt the act was
one OF inadvertence, ssaid again, My
best respects, ma'am," and bowed as
before. Putting down the glass, he
backed toward the door.
Il trust you will not hesitate to
call upon me II can be OF any use
to you, ma'am-a message will bring
me here without a moments delay"
He was rather disappointed that no
al}usion had been made to his recent
activities. He reasoned correctly that
Betty was as yet In ignorance OF the
somewhat dangerous eminence he
had achieved as the champion OF law
and order. However, he reflected
with satisfaction that Hannibal, in re-
naming, would admirably serve his
ends.
Betty insisted that he should be
driven home, and after family protest

point. and few moments later rolled

But why not do more than paralyze
Solomon-that would be pleasant but
not especially profitable. The judge
came back quickly to the vexed prob
lem OF his future. He desired to
make some striking display OF Miss
Malroy's courtesy. He knew that his
credit was experiencing the pangs OF
an early mortality; he was not sensi-

sensible of the fact that what he

er-for him 1t had become the abode
Of hope. The Judge considered the
matter. At least he could let people
see something OF that decent respect
with which Miss Malroy treated him.
They were entering Raleigh now,
and he ordered the coachman to pull
his horses down to walk. He had
decided to make use OF the Belle
Plain turnout In creating an atmos-
phere OF confidence and trust-espe-
cially trust. To this end he spent
the best part Of an hour interviewing
his creditors. It amounted almost to
a mass-meeting of the adult male pop
ulation, for he had no favorites.
When he invaded virgin territory he
believed In starting the largest pos.
sible number OF accounts without de-
lay. The advantage OF his system, as
he explained Its workings to Mahaffy,
was that it bred a noble spirit OF emu
lation. =
He let it be known in a general way
that things were looking up with him;
just in what quarter he did not
specify, but there he was, seated. In
the Belle Plain carriage, and the IN

Malroy was to recognize his activities

Mahaffy, loahng away the after
noon in the county clerks office,
heard of the judges return. He heard
that Charley Norton had left a will:
that Thicket Point went to Miss NAL
roy; that the Norton cousins In mid
die Tennessee were going to put up
a fight: that Judge Price had been
retained as counsel by Miss Malroy;
that he was authorized to begin an
independent search for Charley Nor
tons murderer, and was to spare no
expense; that Judge Price was going
to pay his debts. Mahaffy grinned at
this and hurried home. He could be-
lieve all but the last; that was the
GROWING touch of unreality.
The judge explained the situation.
II wouldn't withhold hope from any
man, Solomon; It's the cheapest thing
in the world and the one thing we
are most misery about extending to
our fellows. These people all feel
better-and what did 1t cost me?-
just little decent consideration; just
the knowledge of what the unavoid-
able associations of ideas In their
own minds would do for them"
