Coco Times Coming.
1t was not strange that a number OF
gentlemen in and about Raleigh yield
ed to an overmastering impulse to Wis
1t newer lands, nor was it strange
that the Initial steps looking toward
the indulgence of their desires should
have been taken in secrecy. MIR. Peg
loe was one of the first to leave; Mr..
Saul had informed him Of the judges

the tavern-keeper had known that he
should experience intense embarrass-
ment In meeting the judge; this was
now a dreary certainty.
you reckon he means near all he
says?" he had asked. his fat sides
shaking.
"Pd take his word a heap quicker
than l would most folks" answered
Mr.. Saul with conviction.
Pegloe promptly had a sinking spell.
He recalled the snufing of the can
dies by the judge, an extremely de-
pressing memory under the circum-
stances: also ~the~reckless and head
long disregard of consequences which
had characterized SO many OF that
gentleman's acts, and his plans
shaped themselves accordingly, with
this result: that when the judge took

thought Of their fate? OF the mon

Do exposed? DO you believe he could
limit aud control it2-Book at hini
Why, he has never had a considera-
ton outside of his own safety, and yet
he expects you to risk your neoks to
save hist He would have left the
state before the first blow was struck
his business was all down river,
but we are going to keep him here to
answer for his crimesI The law, as
implacable as 1t is impartial, has put
Its mark on him-the shadow In
which he sits is the shadow of the
~gallows!"
The judge paused, but the only
sound in that expectant silence was
the heavy breathing of men. He drew
his unwieldly form erect, while his
voice rumbled on, aggressive and
threatening In its every intonation.
You are here to defend something
that no longer exists. Your organ
ization is wrecked, your signals and
passwords are known, your secrets
have become public property can
even produce a list of your MEMBERS;
there are none of you who do mott
stand in imminent peril-yet under-i
stand, / have no wish to strike at
those who have been misled or
coerced into Joining MurreIls bandit
The judges sodden old face glowed
nov with the magnanimity OF his sem
timents. But l have no feeling of
mercy for your leaders. none for Muir
rell himself. Put down you guns!-
you can only kill us after we have
killed MurreJl-but you can't kill the

will the punishment fall?" He swung
round his ponderous arm In a sweep
Ing gesture and shook q fat but ex-
pressive fore-fnger In the faces OF
those nearest him. ION yours-and
yours-and yours!"
Across the space that separated
them the judge grinned his triumph
at his enemy. He had known when
word or a sign from him would pre-
cipitate a riot, but he knew now that
neither this word nor this sign would
be given. Then quite suddenly he

occasion to call at the tavern, and the
hostile nature of his visit was en-
phasized by the cautious name or
his approach, he was greatly shocked
to discover that his intended victim
had sold his business overnight for a
small lump sum to Mr.. Saul's brother
in-law, who had appeared most OPP,
portunely with an offer.
Pegloe's fight created something OF.
a sensation, but 1t was dwarfed by
the sensation that developed a day or
so later when 1t became known that
Tom Ware and Colonel Fentress had
likewise fed the country. Still later,
Fentress' body, showing marks OF vio-
lence, vas washed ashore at a. wood
yard below Girard. It was c~onjec-
tured that he and Ware had set out
from The Oaks to cross the river;
there was reason to- believe hat Fen
tress had In his possession at the
time a considerable sum OF money,
and it was supposed that his COM
panion had murdered and robbed him.
OF Wares subsequent career nothing
