CHAPTER XIV.
The Judge Sees a Ghost.

The Judge Sees Ghost.
Charley Norton's good Offices did
not end when he had furnished Judge
Price with house, for Betty required
of him that he should supply that
gentleman with legal business as
well.
Thus 1t happened that Judge Price,
before he had been three days in
Raleigh, received a civil note from
Mr.. Norton asking him to search the
title to certain timber tract held by
one Joseph Quad. The Judge, power
fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be-
ing understood and appreciated.
Tho immediate result OF Norton's
communication had been to send the
Judge up the street to the court house.
He would show his client that he
could be punctual and painstaktng.
Entering the court house, he found
himself in a narrow hall. He entered
the county clerks Office. He was al
ready known to this official, whose
name was Saul, and he now greeted
him.
n lllLlc udIlCl VI OuolhCoo VI Ah0S
me here, sir" began the judge, with
a swelling chest and mellow accents.
II am in some haste to look up title
for my client, Mr.. Norton"
Mr.. Saul scrambled up out OF tho
depths OF his chair and exerted him
self in the judges behalf.
This is what you want, sir. Better
take the ledger to the window, the
light in here amt much" He drew
forward a chair as he spoke, and the
Judge, seating himself, began to pol
ish his spectacles with great delibera-
ton.
You've set on the bench, sir?' sug-
gested Mr.. Saul.
I'm one of the eastern counties, but
my inclination has never been toward
the Judiciary" He was turning the
leaves OF the ledger as he spoke. Sud-
denly the movement of his hand was
arrested.
Found it," asked Mr.. Saul. But
the Judge gave him no answer; he
was staring down at the open pages
of the book. Found the entry?" re-
peated Mr. Saul.
"Eh-what's that? No" he ap-
peared to hesitate. who is this man
Quintard?"
He's the owner Of hundred-thou-
sand-acre tract in this and AUDITING
counties" said Mr.. Saul.
who has charge Of the land?"
Colonel Fentress; he was old Cen
eral Wares law partner. I've heard 1t
was the general who got this man
Ouintard to make the investment, but
that was before my time"
The Judge lapsed into silence.
A step sounded in the narrow hail.
An instant later the door was pushed
open. and grateful for any Interrupt
ton that would serve to take Mr.
Saurs attention from himself, the
Judge abruptly turned his back on
the clerk and began to examine the
record before him. Insensibly, how
ever, the cold, level tones OF the voice
that was addressing itself to Mr.. Saul
ouickened the beat OF his pulse, the
throb Of his heart, and struck back
through the years to a day from
which he reckoned time. He turned
slowly, as if in dread.
What he saw was man verging
on sixty, lean and dark. with thin
shaver cheeks of blush cast above
the jaw, and a strongly aquiline pro-
file. Long, black locks swept the col
lar of his coat. while his tall, spare
figure was habited in sleek broadcloth
and spotless linen, For moment the
Judge seemed tofstruggle with doubt
then his face went white and the book
slipped from his fingers to the win
dow ledge.

Tom-that's on your mind this morn

Tom favored him with sullen
stare
There was a brief silence. during
which Murrell studied his friends

the conversation a new direction.

Plain?" inquired Murrell.
THAT notion hasn't struck her yet,
for heard her say at breakfast that
she'd take him to Raleigh this after
noon"
That's the boy | travelled all the
way to North Carolina to get for
Fentress"
y ."Eh-you don't say?" cried Ware.
Tom, what do you know about the
Quintard lands; what do you know
about Quintard himself?" continued
-Murrell.
He was rich planter; lived in
North Carolina. My father met him
when he was in congress and got him
10 invest in land here. They had
some colonization scheme on foot
this was upward of twenty years ago
but nothing came OF it. Quintard
lost interest"
And the land?"
"0h, he held on to that"
"Quintard has been dead two years,
Tom, and back yonder in North Caro-
lima they told me he left nothing but
the home plantation. The boy lived
there up to the time OF Quintard's
death, but what relation he was to
the old man no one knew. Offhand,
Tom, I'd say that by getting hold or
the boy Fentress expects to get hold
of the Quintard land"
That's likely" said Ware; then
struck by a sudden idea, he added,
Are you going to take all the risks
and let him pocket the cash? Ii it's
the land he's after. the stakes big
enough to divide"
HE can have the whole thing and
welcome. I'm playing for a bigger
stake" His friend stared at him in
establishment I'm licking a specula-
ton into shape that will cause me to
be remembered while there's white
man alive in the Mississippi Valley!
Have you heard what the niggers did
at Hayti?"
You let the niggers alone; don't
you tamper with them" said Ware.
He possessed profound belief in
Murrel's capacity.
Look here, what do you think |
have been working for-to steal a
few niggers? That furnishes us with
money, but you can push the trade
too hard and too far. The planters
are uneasy. The Clans got to deal a
counter blow or go out OF business
Between here and the gulf" he
made wide sweeping gesture with
his arm. IL am spotting the country
with my men; there are two thousand
active workers on the rolls OF the
Clan. and as many more like you

asked Murrell at length. Listen to
me. Tom. I'll take her away, and
Belle Plain is yours-land, stock and

Ware shifted and twisted in his

 He made himself so strong with the big Center Poles that they declared him In every time a Melon was sliced and when it came time to Scramble the Eggs and pull off the grand Whack-Up, he was standing at the head of the Line with a Basket on his Arm.
 So it came about that one who started Gin a Thatched Cottage and grew up on cold Spuds and never saw Manicure Set until he was 3S years of age, went home one day to find Gold Fish swimming about in every Room and Servants blocking the Hall ways.
 He had some. trouble finding Rings that would go over his Knuckles and the Silk Kind felt itchy for quite a while, but finally he adjusted himself to his new Prosperity and began to deplore the apparent Growth of So- cialism.

 Razumov returning from visit to the Prince finds Haldin in his rooms and knowing that the slightest suspicion of complcty in the crime will ruin him (Razumoy) in consequence becomes very much alarmed over the situation-intol- erably so.

 A very subtle sort of third degree trenchent is given to Razumov and after | bit, having been watched by the au- thorities, he is considered a good subject

 there as a police spy.
 The love story that ensues involves

 There is much novelty and striking ad- venture in Mir Frank Savile's novel, the name of which is "The Road
 The characters are of strong personality, some of them, and there is a dash of ro- nance from the start that savers of ex- ctement and interest.
 At the beginning of the story we are introduced to Miss Katherine Gresham, who is smartly attired and seated in runa bout, to which is harnessed a rather obstinate little pony who refuses in spite of force or moral suasion to budge from off a railway track where in the near dis tance the shrieking of a locomotive warns him of danger.
 Of course it is a beautiful opportunity for the stalwart hero to appear. which rr does, at the psychological moment. He Is A regular Sandow in strnegth, and as instantaneous action is imperative, inc, Cervase Agnew. puts his sinewy shoulders to the cart and pony and all and shoves the turnout from the path of the on- rushing train.
 what better beginning for real TO- nance?
 We'll it served the purpose, to say the least of it. in this case. for the hero and heroine immediately take a shine, as it were, to each other, but not before complications arise. which are very dis couraeing in their nature
 previous engagement of the young laGy with her fathers partner makes things look rather dismal and especially so as Agnew is almost ready to depart for the Balkan Peninsula. where he IS going to direct the construction of "The Rir' railway-'"rhe Road"-and so the next act finds us among foreign surround ngs. awaiting developments.
