After they had found and examined
the books and Hannibal had grudging-
~ admitted that they might possess
certain points OF advantage over the la
bel, he and Betty went out for walk.
1t was now late afternoon and the sun
was sinking behind the wall of the
coast. Their steps had led them to the
terrace-where they stood looking off
into the west. 1t was here that Betty
had said goodbye to Bruce Caring

Charley-Charley, with his youth and
nope and high courage-unwittingly

Hannibal looked up into her face.

"Why, Hannibal, you are crying
what about, dear" asked Betty sud-
denly.
mo, ma'am, | amt crying" said
Hannibal stoutly; but his wet lashes
gave the lie to his words
Are you hOmesick-do you wish to

Thinking about what, dear?"
About my Uncle Bob" The small

81 bet | do reckon anybody who
knew Uncle Bob would never get over
missing him; they just couldn't, Miss
Betty! The judge is mighty kind, and
so is Mr.. Mahaffy-they're awful kind,
Miss Betty, and it seems like they get
kinder all the time-but with Uncle
Bob, when he liked you. he just laid
himself out to let you know it,"

! without moments delay" He was
rather disappointed that no allusiO1
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 satistac
ton that Hannibal, in remaining
would admirably serve his ends.
Betty insisted that he should be
driven home, and after family protest
ing, the judge gracefully yielded the
point, and few moments later rolled
away from Belle Plain behind a pair
Of sleek-coated bays, with a negro in
livery on the box. He was conscious
of great sense of eXaltation. He
felt that he should paralyze Mahaffy

1t had occurred to Betty that she
had done little or nothing for the

such that with elaborate absence of
