treachery brought ruin to at least two

friends believed his daughter dead; he
knew differently. and the shame OF
that knowledge ate into his soul. 1t

She didn't go back empty-handed. She
had run away from her husband with

The Judge leaned forward across the
table, bringing his face close to Fen
tress' face. Look at me-do you
know me now?"
But Fentress' expression never al
tered. The judge fell back a step.
"Fehtress. / want the boy" he said
quietly.
What boy?"

You're mad" repeated Fentress.

Eccentric Tides

Owing TO the effects OF shore lines
and other influences which are more
OF less obscure it is very difficult to
account for the peculiarities exhibited
by tidal waves in various parts Of the
weTld
interfering waves cause once-a-day
tides at Tahiti and in some other
pisces. while on the other hand in the
harbors back Of the Isle of Wight and
in the Tay in Scotland there are three
tides In day. The latter have been
ascribed to overtidas. produced by the
modification OF tidal waves running
ashore and resembling the evertones
OF musical sounds.

feathers the brilliant red is confined
TO narrow band. which Is overlapped
by the edge OF the adjacent feathers.
The overlapping portions are white
and brittle. During the winter these
delicate portions are rubbed of and
lost, so that when the mating season
arrives the bird has its brilliant coat.
Mr.. Grinnen emphasizes especially the
fact that this brilliant coloring is &C.
tually produced in the autumn. after
the mating season, at a time Of the
year when the vitality OF the birds Is
supposed TO be at its lowest ebb.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Bubble Bursts.

At about the same hour that the
judge was hurting threats ard insults
at Colonel Fentress, three men were
waiting ten miles away at the head of
the bayou which served to Isolate
Hicks cabin. Now no one OF these
three had ever heard of Judge Slocum
Price: the breath of his fame had
never blown, however gently. in their
direction. yet they were preparing 10
thrust opportunity upon him. To this
md they were lounging about the
opening in the woods where the
horses belonging to Ware and Murrell
were tied
At length the dip OF oars became
audible IN the silence and one of the
trio stc!e down the path matter of
atty yards, to point that overlooked
the bayou. He was gone but mo-
ment

an eager whisper. Him and another

protested lightly. He's as good as

horses and were untying them when
the thicket suddenly disgorged the
three men: each held a cooked pistol;
