A MISER.

The other day a man died fin Vienna who was a notorious miser. For years he lived in a miserable room, without either heat or light. His daily fare was tea and dry bread, his wardrobe con sisted of one suit and shirt. which he mended himself. Yet this man was rich and his fortune increased to huge propor- tions. When his friends remonstrated he said. Your pleasure is to spend. mine is to save. Leave me to my pleasure; it is all for a good purpose" After life of self-denial that the world thought was prompted merely by sordid greed, this man died and left 100000 crowns to found a children's hospital That was the dream on which he had set his heart and for which he denied himself the simplest comforts of life.
 Now you know of at least one miser whose name will be reverenced by the very people who looked upon his pe- nurious ways with contempt.
 HAD THE OLD BUFFER INSIDE. A story which pr. Boyd Carpenter has been heard to recount concerns an casion when he was to perform the cere- mony at a very smart wedding in a Lon don church. As usual, a great crowd of people stood about the doors and lined up on either side of the strip of red car- pet Magnificent carriages and motor cars rolled up and disgorged the splen-s ddly dressed guests, but at the end of long string of fine equipages came a deplorable ramshackle old four wheeler. It drew up gloomily opposite the strip of red carpet.
 A couple of policemen dashed at the cabby.
 Here, hi!" they shouted. You cant stop here! The bishops just comingls The old cabman regarded them with scornful eye.

CHAPTER XIV.
Good Times Coming.

Good Times Coming:
80 It was not strange that number Of
gentlemen In and about Raleigh yield
ed to an overmastering impulse to WIS.,
it newer lands, nor was 1t strange
that the initial steps looking toward
the Indulgence of their desires should
have been taken in secrecy. Mr.. Peg
loe was one of the first to leave; Mr..
Saul had informed him of the judges
declared purpose OF shooting him on
sight. Even without this useful hint
the tavern-keeper had known that he
should experience intense embarrass-
ment in meeting the Judge; this was
now dreary certainty
You reckon he means near all he
says?" he had asked, his fat sides
shaking
I'D take his word a heap quicker
than / would most folks" answered
Mr.. Saul with conviction.
Pegloe promptly had sinking spell.
He recalled the snufing of the can
dies by the judge, an extremely de-
pressing memory under the ,circum-
stances; also the reckless and head
long disregard of consequences which
had characterized SO many of that
gentleman's acts, and his plans

yard below Girard. It was conjec-
tured that he and Ware had set out
from The Oaks to cross the river;
there was reason to believe that Fem
tress had in his possession at the
time considerable sum OF money,
and it was supposed that his COM:
panion had murdered and robbed him.
OF Wares subsequent career nothing
was ever known.
These were, after all. only episodes
In the collapse of the Clan, sporific
manifestations OF the great work OF
disintegration that was going forward
and which the judge, more than any
other. perhaps, had brought about.
This was something no one ques-
toned, and he quickly passed to the
first phase Of that unique and peculiar
esteem in which he was ever after
held His fame widened with the sue
ceeding suns; he had. offers of help
which impressed him as SO entirely
creditable to human nature that he
quite lacked the heart to refuse them,
especially as he felt that in the int

world had bettered itself and was
moving nearer those sound and right
eous ideals of morality and patriotism
which had never lacked his indorse-
ment, no matter how inexpedient it
had seemed for him to put them into
practice. But he was not diverted
from his ultimate purpose by the
glamour of a present popularity; he
was able to keep his bleared eyes
resolutely fixed on the main chance,
namely the Fentress estate and the
Quintard lands. 1t was highly inn
portant that he should go east to
South Carolina to secure documentary
evidence that would establish his own
and Fentress' identity; to Kentucky,
where Fentress had lived prior to his
coming to Tennessee.
Early in November the judge set
out by stage on his journey east; he
was accompanied by Yancy and Han
nibal, from neither of whom could he
bring himself to be separated; and as
the woods, flaming now with the
torch of frost, engulfed the little
town, he turned in his seat and looked
back. He had entered it by that very
road, beggar on foot and in rags; he
was leaving 1T in broadcloth and fine
linen, visible tokens OF his altered

Look out-he's getting ready to
shoot! cried a frightened voice.
Instantly by doors and windows the
crowd, seized with inexplicable panic,
emptied itself into the courthouse
yard. Fentress was caught up in the
rush and borne from the room and
from the building. When he reached
the graveled space below the steps he
turned. The Judge was in the door
way, the center of struggling group;
Mr.. Bowen, the minister. Mr.. Saul
and Mr.. Wesley were yainly seeking
to pinion his arm.
"Draw-damn you!" he roared at
Fentress, as he wrenched himself
free, and the crowd swayed to right
and left as Fentress was seen to
reach for his pistol
Mr.. Saul made last frantic effort
to restrain his friend; he seized the
judges arm just as the latter's finger
pressed the trigger, and an instant
later Fentress staggered back with
the judges bullet in his shoulder. :

shaped themselves accordingly, with
this result; that when the Judge took
occasion to call at the tavern, and the
hostile nature OF his visit was en-
phasized by the cautious manner of
his approach, he was greatly shocked
to discover that his intended victim
had sold his business overnight for a
small lump sum to Mr.. SauPs brother
in-law, who had appeared most OPP
portunely with an offer

What does this ridiculous mockery

But Fentress ignored him. He ad-
dressed the crowded benches.
Gentlemen, it Is serious matter
forcibly to seize man without author
ity from the courts and expose him
to the danger Of mob violence-Mr.
Hues will learn this before we have
done with him."
Instantly there was a noisy demon
stration that swelled into burst of
applause, which quickly spent itself.
The struggle seemed to have mar
rowed to an individual contest for
supremacy between Fentress and the
judge. On the edge of the railed-or
space they confronted each other: the
colonel, tall, well-cared for pres
ence; the Judge, shabby and unkempt.
For moment their eyes met, while
the judges face purpled and paled,
and purpIed again. The silence deep
ened. Fentress thin lips opened,
twItched, but no sound came frem
tEem; then his glance wavered and
