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
small lump sum to Mr.. Saul's brother
in-law, who had appeared most op-
portunely with an offer.
Pegloe's flight created something Of
q sensation, but 1t was dwarfed by
the sensation that developed a day or
so later when II became known that

CHAPTER xxxIII.-(contlnued.)


What does this ridiculous mockery
mean?" he demanded harshly. Mr..
Sheriff, as a member Of the bar, l
protest! Why don't you clear the
buildihg?" He did not walt for Belts
to answer him, but continued. Where
is this man Hues?"
"Yonder colonel, by the captain"
said Belts.
Il have a warrant for his arrest.
You will take him into custody"
"Wait!" cried the Judge. Il repre-
sent Mr Hues. desire to see that
warrant"
But Fentress ignored him. He ad-
dressed the crowded benches.
Gentlemen, it is a 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 noisy demon
stratlon 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-on
space they confronted each other: the
colonel, a tall, well-cared for pres
ence the judge, shabby and unkempt.
For a moment their eyes met, while
the judges face purpled and paled,
and purpled again. The silence deep
ened. Fentress' thin lips opened,
twitched, but no sound came from
them; then his glance wavered and
fell. He turned away.
MIR. Sheriff." he called sharply.
'All right, colonel!"
Take your man into custody" or
dered Fentress. AS he spoke he hand
ed the warrant toward Belts, who
looked at it, grinned, and stepped to-
ward Hues. He would have pushed
the Judge aside had not that gentle
man, bowling civilly. made way for
him.
I'm my profound respect for the law
and properly constituted authority

Fentress," he said, with gracious
gesture. 'T would not place the slight
