Again he attacked the door; he be-
lieved 1t might be possible to force 1t

HIS work too we'll for that, and at
last, spent and breathless, the Judge
dropped down on the edge OF his bed
to consider the situation. He was
without clothes and he was a pris-
oner, yet his mind rose spIendidiy to
meet the difficulties that beset him.
His greatest activities we're reserved
for what appeared to be only sea-

Judge looked out and shook his head
obviously. 1t was twelve feet or more

Judge considered making a rope OF his
bedding and lowering himself to the
ground by means OF it; he remem-
bered to have read Of captiyes in that
interesting French prison, the Bas-

it would form soft and yielding sub

CHAPTER xxx-(contlnued.)

An hour later Pegloe's black boy
presented himself to the judge. He
came bearing a gift, and the gift APP
propriately enough was square case
bottle of respectable size. The judge
was greatly touched by this attention.
but he began by making a most tenn
perate use of the tayern-keeper's Of
fering;; then as the formidable doeu-
ment he was preparing took shape I'M
der his hand he more and more lost
that feeling of Spartan fortitude
which had at first sustained him in
the presence of temptation. He wrote
and slipped In complete and quiet lux
ury, and when at last he had exhaust
ed the contents of the bottle 1t &C.
Cured to him that it would be only
proper personally to convey his thanks
to Pegloe. Perhaps he was not I'M
inspired in this by Interior hopes; II
SO, they were richly rewarded. The
resources of the City Tavern were
suddenly placed at his disposal. He
attributed this to a variety of causes
all good and sufficient, but the real
reason never suggested itself; indeed
1t was OF such a pertidious nature that
1.-THE judge, open and generous-mlnded
could not have grasped it.
By six O'Clock he was undeniably
drunk; at eight he was sounding still
deeper depths Of inebriety, with only
the most confused memory of impend-
ing events; at ten he collapsed and
was borne upstairs by Pegloe and his
black boy to remote chamber In the
kitchen wing Here he was undressed
and put to bed, and the tavern-keep-
er, making bundle OF his clothes. re-
tired from the room, locking the door
after him, and the Judge was doubly
prisoner
Rousing at last from a heavy,
dreamless sleep the judge was aware
OF a faint impalpable light in his room,
the ashen light of dull October dawn.
He was aware. too, Of a feeling or
profound depression. He knew this
was the aftermath of indulgence and
that he might look forward to forty
eight hours OF utter misery OF soul,
and. groaning aloud. he closed his
eyes, Sleep was the thing II he could
compass it. Instead, his memory

that had been thoughtful OF Pegloe
he would not forget him-the City
Tavern should continue to enjoy his
patronage. 1t would be something for
Pegloe to boast of that Judge SIoeum
Price Turberville always made his
place headquarters when IN Raleigh.
Feeling that he had already conferred
wealth and distinction on the fortu-
nate Pegloe the judge thrust his fat
legs over the side Of his bed and stood
erect. STOPPING he reached for his
clothes. Ae confidently expected to
find them on the floor. but his hand
merely swept an uncarpeted waste.
The judge was profoundly astonished.
Maybe I've got 'em on. don't re-
call taking them on! he thought
hopefully. He moved uncertainty in
the direction of the window. where
the light showed him his own bare ex-
tremities. He reverted to his orig
inal idea that his clothes were scat
tered about the floor.
