For two. or three days bands OF armed
men secured the woods and roads,
and then this activity quite unpro-
ductive of any tangible results ceased.
matters were allowed to rest with the
constituted authorities, namely MI.
Belts, the sheriff, and his deputies.
No private citizen had shown
greater zeal than Judge Slocum Price.
One morning he found under his door
folded paper:
You talk too much. Shut up. or
you'll go where Norton went"
A few moments later he burst In
on Mr.. Saul.
Glance at that, my friends" he
cried, as he tossed the paper on the
clerks desk. What do you make OF
1t, sir?"
well, I'd keep STILL"
The Judge laughed derisively as he
bowed himself out.
He established himself in his Of
| fee. He had scarcely done SO when
Mr.. Belts knocked at the door. The
sheriff came direct from Mr.. Saul and
arrived out Of breath, but the letter
was not mentioned by the Judge. He
spoke Of the crops. the chance OF
rain, and the intricacies OF county
politics. The sheriff withdrew mysti-
fed, wondering why it was ne had
not felt at liberty to breach the sub
ject which was uppermost In his
| mind.
His place was taken by Mr.. Pegloe
and on the heels of the tavern-keeper
| came Mr.. Bowen. Judge Price re
ceived them with condescension, but
back OF the condescension was an all
of reserve that did not invite ques
lions. The Judge discussed the exten
sion of the national roads with Mr.
Pegloe, and the religion of the Per
sian fire-worshipers with Mr.. Bowen
he permitted never a pause and they
retired as the sheriff had done with
out sight of the letter.

She went to him, and, as he bent
