yard below Girard 1t 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 1t was supposed that his COM
panion had murdered and robbed him.
OF Wares subsequent career nothing
was ever known
These We're, after all, only episodes
in the collapse of the Clan, Sporitic
manifestations of the great work OF
dlsintegration 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 i'm
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 1t by that very
road, beggar on foot and in rags; he
was leaving it in broadcloth and fine
linen, visible tokens of his altered

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

way, the center of a struggling group;
Mr. Bowen, the minister, Mr.. Saul
and Mr.. Wesley were vainly seeking
to pinion his arm.
sDraw-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.

What does this ridiculous mockery

"Yonder, colonel, by the captain, /"

You will take him into custody.
FWait." cried the Judge. Il repre-

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. Z
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-off
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,

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

Artificial Rose or Orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
of an Evening Gown.

The rose is formed of a dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower.
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
foudation easily made of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead of
being doubled, as is done in making
exotics of thin material, is smoothly
pasted on one side of piece of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity OF
mucilage used will stiffen the joined
materials to the desired -frmness and
yet they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged.
Easier to shape than the rose is the
orchid. This, also made of velvet and
coarse net, has six long and slender
petals with pointed ends tied at their
tips with slender golden threads. An
olive, such as is employed in connec-
ton with military loops, is the best
foundation for velvet orchid, and to
one end of it the wider ends of the
petals may be securely fastened

of the olive will be needed as the base

percentage of mangoes found infested
with the Mediterranean fruit fly Is
small as compared with last year.
This is altogether satisfactory in view
of the fact that the crop this year Is
unusually large.
The Department has had additional
work thrust on It because of the unfOr-

Residents of Hama would give the
members of the Harbor Commission

ma landing, II any of the members

The new landing, on which very
considerable sum of public money has
lecn expended, is worse than the first,
and, unfortunately. the old landing
was torn up to make way for the new.
The new landing, however, Is also in
n new location and from this the trou,

wharf was at least safe. II was mere.
~ worn out When the Public Works
administration set out Ia build the

business Is that il takes a most expert
and agile person to land with safety

that such an experienced person with
island landings as Mrs. Chalmers came

A passage was opened between the

Mediterranean fruit fly will be bred
from at least one, If not all, of them.
Should such be the case and owing to
the wide range of distribution, II
would go far TO show that, in all prob.

some months, but for some reason or
another has not been discovered by

The same conditions may also prevail
