Leader Of New Crusade.
Here was tho leader Of a new crusade.
Here was a new Peter the Hermit, who,
instead Of rousing the martial ardor OF
his hearers to frenzy with his noble cry.
| God Wills It, and opening their hearts
| to the need for the unity Of the chivalry
of Christendom to free the holy sepul-
chre from proclamation, sought by the dis
tillation Of his sufferings, labor and zeal
to open new fields to civilization and
religion. while his share Of the CONNER
| cial benefits he hoped to realize for his
sovereigns, was to be applied to the ex-
penSes of such q campaign as would re-
suit in the permanent rescue of that same
sepulchre.
How characteristic Is his life Of hu-
manity in general From the depths OF
misery to rise to the heights OF popularity
and power, and in the twinkling OF an eye
| to be again precipitated to the lowest
abyss. From a delirous triumph and the
adulation OF the tickle multitude. to fall
into disgrace and contempt From a po-
sition beside his sovereigns, a partner
with them in the temporal venture whose
| glory was all his own. to patiently hear
the riveting Of chains upon him by a
| mental. In life he saw. his ungrateful
king withhold the fruits Of his foresight.
and in death the very whereabouts Of his
ashes became a matter Of dispute. In his
weary wanderings he knew the pangs Of
hunger. of cold. OF poverty, OF sickness
and of ridicule.
What more pathetic picture is there
than that OF Columbus, weary and foot
sore. stopping at the door OF the convent
Of La Rabida to beg water and bread,
not for himself, but for his boy Diego,
while unmindful Of his own sufferings he
discoursed to Father Juan Perez upon his
plan for the direct route to the lands
of gold and silk and spices.

Across the bridge which connects the

To make possible the serving OF so large

with red morocco leather. 1t contained
handsome engravings Of Christopher CO.

But 1t came to your notice that
Miss Malroy has been in a disturbed
mental state ever since Mr.. Norton's
murder? am interested in this point,
Mr.. Hicks, because your experience Is
so entirely at variance with my own.
1t was my privilege to see and speak
with her yesterday afternoon; l was
profoundly impressed by her natural
ness and composure." The judge
smiled, then he leaned forward across
the desk. What were you doing up
here early this morning-hasn't hog
for work like you got any business OF
his own at that hour?' The judges
tone was suddenly offensive.
Look here, what right have you
got to try and pump me?" cried Hicks.
For no discernible reason Mr.. Cav
endish spat on his palms.
"Mr. Hicks" said the judge, urbane
and gracious, 81 believe In frankness."
Sure" agreed Hicks, mollitied by
the judges altered tone.
Therefore l do not hesitate to say
that I consider you a damned scoun-
drel!" concluded the judge.
Mr.. Cavendish, accepting the judges
ultimatum as something which must
debar Hicks from all further consid-
Grafton, and being, as he was, exceed
ingly active and energetic by nature,
If one passed over the various forms
of gainful industry, uttered a loud
whoop and threw himself on the over
seer. There was brief struggle and
Hicks went down with the Earl OF
Lambeth astride of him; then from
his boot leg that knightly soul flashed
a horn-handled ticker Of formidable
dimensions.
The Judge, Yancy and Mahafy,
sprang from their chairs. Mr.. Ma
haffy was plainly shocked atrhe spec
tacle Of Mr.. Cavendish's lawless vto-
lence. Yancy was disturbed, too, but
not by the moral aspects Of the case;
he was doubtful as to how his friends
act would appeal to the judge. He
need not have been distressed on that
score, since the judges one idea was
to profit by it. With his hands on his
knees he was now bending above the
two men.
What do you want to know,
judge?' cried Cavendish, painting from
his exertions. I'll learn this parrot
to talk up!"

your power to tell us few things we
are here to find out" Hicks looked
up into the Judges face and closed

The sudden and hurried entrance Of
big Steve brought the judges exam
ination Of Mr.. Hicks to standstill.
"Mas'r, you know dat ar coachman
George-the big black fellow dat tco'
you into town las evenin'? I jes' been
down at Shanty Hill whar Milly, his
wife, is carryin' on something scan
dalous cause George amt never come
bome!" Steve was laboring under in
tense excitement, but he ignored the
presence of the overseer jand ad-
dressed himself to Slocum Price.
well, what of that?" cried Hicks
quickly.
Thar warn't no George. mind you,
Mas'r, but dar was his team In de
stable this mo'fling and lookin' mighty
nigh done up with hard driving"
"Yes," interrupted Hicks uneasily;
put a pair OF lines in nigger's
hands and he'll run any team on its
legs!"

from bein' thrashed through the
bushes" added Steve.
There's a niger for you!" said
Hicks. "She took the rascal out OF
the field, dressed him like he was
gentleman and pampered him up, and
now first chance he gets he runs Off"
"Ah!" said the judge softly. Then
you knew this?"
"Of course I knew-wa'n't 1t my
business to know? / reckon he was
off skylarking, and when he'd seen
the mess he'd made, the trifiing fool
took to the woods. Well, he catches
1t when I lay hands on him!"
do you know when and under
what circumstances the team was
stabbed, Mr.. Hicks?" inquired the
Judge.

unwillingly. II seen to the feeding

"Mas'r Ca'ington's done gone of to

Hicks started violently at this piece
of news.
II reckon he'll have to travel q
right smart distance to find a pack OF
dogs" he muttered. ~ don't know OF

The Judge. was lost in thought. He
permitted an interval OF silence to
elapse in which Hicks glance slid
round in furtive circle.
"When did Mr.. Ware set out for
Memphis?" asked the judge at length.
Early yesterday. He goes there
pretty often on business"
"You talked with Mr.. Ware before
he left?" Hicks shook his head. did

shook his head. did you see her dur

"No-maybe you think these mig

scowl. The judge noticed both the
uneasiness and the scowl.

Never once, sir. He told the
slaves to keep him out of his sight.

he was some kin to the Quintards,
but we couldn't figure out how. The
old general never had but one child
and she had been dead TO- years. The
child couldn't have been hers no-how."
Yancy paused.
The judge drummed idly on the
desk.
What implacable hate-what iron
pride!" he murmured, and swept his
hand across his eyes. Absorbed and
aloof, he was busy with his thoughts
that spanned the waste Of years
years that seemed to glide before him
in review, each bitter with its hideous
memories of shame and defeat. Then
from the smoke of these lost battles
emerged the lonely figure Of the child
as he had seen him that June night.

whom the sheriff had spoken.
"A shocking condition of affairs,

Gay of greeting.
YES" said Darlington shortly.
"You left these parts some time ago,

"The day before Norton was shot.
l had started home for Kentucky. L
heard Of his death when l reached
Randolph on the second bluff" eX-
planned Darlington, from whose cheeks
the weather-beaten bloom had faded.
He rested his hand on the edge OF
the desk and turned to the men who
had followed him into the room. This
is the gentleman you wish to see,' he
said. !nd stepped to one OF the win
dows: it overlooked the terraces
where Re had said good-by to Betty
scarcely a week before.
The tIo men had paused by the
door. They now advanced. One was
gaunt and haggard. his face disfgured
by a great red scar; the other was a
shock-headed individual who moved
with a shambling gait. Both carried
rifles and both were dressed in coarse
homespun.
Morning, sir" said the man with
the scar "Yancy's my name, and
this gentleman lows he'd rather be
known now as Mr.. Cavendish."
The Judge started to his feet.
