BESIDES, they'll come in anyhow when
they get ready, so there's no sense in
exciting them"
In the courthouse, Murrell, bound
hand and foot, was seated between
Darlington and the Earl of Lambeth
in the little railed-off space below the
judges bench. Fear and suffering had
blanched his unshaven cheeks and
given a wild light to his deeply sunk
en- eyes. At sight of Yancy a smoth-
cred exclamation broke from his lips;
he had supposed this man dead these
many months!
Hues had abandoned his post, and
the crowd, suddenly grown clamorous.
stormed the narrow entrance. One OF
the doors, borne from its hinges, went
down with a crash. The judge, a
fierce light flashing from his eyes,
turned to Yancy.
mo matter what happens, this fell
low Murrell is not to escape-if he
calls on his friends to rescue him he
is to be shot"
The hall was filling with swearing,
struggling men, the floor shook be-
meath their heavy tread; then they
burst into the courtroom and saluted
Murrell with great shout. But Muir
rell, bound, in rags, and silent, his
lips frozen in a woliish grin, was a
depressing sight, and the boldest felt
something of his unrestrained Iawless-
ness go from him.
Less noisy now, the crowd spread
itself out among the benches or
swarmed up into the tiny gallery at
the back of the building. Man after
man had hurried forward, intent on
passing beyond the railing, but each
had encountered the judge, formida-
BILE and forbidding, and had turned
aside. Gradually the many pairs Of
eyes rowing over the little group sur
rounding the outlaw focused them
selves on Slocum Price. 1t was in I'M
conscious recognition of that moral
force which was his, tribute to the
grim dignity of his mistaken courage;
what he would do seemed worth con-
sidering.
He was charmed to hear his name
pass in a whisper from lip to lip.
Well, it was time they knew him! He
squared his ponderous shoulder and
made a gesture commanding silence.
Battered. shabby and debauched, he
was like some old war horse who
shifts the odor of battle that the wind
incontinently brings to his nostrils.
Don't let him speak," cried a
voice. and tumult succeeded.
Cool and indomitable the judge
waited for it to subside. He saw that
the color was stealing back into Muir
rell's face. The outlaw was feeling
that he was leader not overthrow;
these were his friends and followers,
his safety was their safety, too In a
lull in the storm of sound the Judge
attempted to make himself heard, but
his words were lost in the angry roar
that descended on him.
Don't let him speak, Kill him!

A score of men sprang to their feet
and from all sides came the click OF
rifle and pistol hammers as they were
drawn to the full cock. The judges

curt nod to Yancy and Cavendish,

guns to their shoulders and covered

Of the tumult; the cries, angry and
jeering, dwindled to murmur. and a
dead pail of silence rested on the
crowded I'm.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Judges Grandson.

ne JUDGES 0FenO6OUs
In that bare upper room they had
shared, the judge, crushed and bro
ken, watched beside the bed on which
the dead man lay; unconscious of the
eight Of time he sat with his head
bowed in his hands, having scarcely
altered his position since he begged
those who carried Mahaffy up the
narrow stairs to leave him alone with
his friend.
He was living over the past. He
recalled his first meeting with Ma
haffy in the stuffy cabin Of the small
river packet from which they had
later gone ashore at PleasantviIle; he
thanked God that it had been given
him to see beneath Solomon's forbid
ding exterior and into that starved
heartl He reviewed each phase OF
the almost insensible growth of their
intimacy; he remembered Mahaffy's
fine true loyalty at the time of his ar
rest-he thought of Damon and
enthusiastically had reached the
heights of a sublime devotion; he
could only feel ennobled that he had
inspired 1t.
At last the dusk Of twilight in
vaded the room. He lighted the can
dies on the chimneypiece, then he re-
sumed his seat and his former atti-
tude. Suddenly he became aware of
a small hand that was resting on his
arm and glanced up; Hannibal had
stolen quietly into the room. The
boy pointed to the stin figure on the
bed
Judge, what makes Mr.. Mahaffy lie
so quiet-is he dead?" he asked in a
whisper.

a shaking voice, as be drew Hannibal

Politicians here believe that today:
