CHAPTER xxxiv.
Good Times Coming.

II 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 1t 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
declared purpose of shooting him on
sight. Even without this useful hint
the tavern-keeper had known that he
should experience intense embarrass-
ment in meeting the Judge; this was
now q dreary certainty.
You reckon he means near all he
says?" he had asked. his fat sides
shaking.
I'D take his word a heap quicker
than would most folks" answered
Mr.. Saul with conviction.
Pegloe promptly had a sinking spell.
He recalled the snuffing 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
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
had sold his business overnight for a
small lump sum to Mr.. Saurs brother
in-law, who had appeared most op-
portunely with an offer.
Pegloe's flight created something OF
a sensation, but 1t was dwarfed by
the sensation that developed a day or
SO later when it became known that
Tom Ware and Colonel Fentress had
likewise fed the country. Still later,
Fentress' body, showing marks of VIC
lence, was washed ashore at wood.

| OF Wares subsequent career nothing
was ever known.
These were, after all. only episodes
in the collapse of the Clan, sporitic
manifestations of the great work OF
disintegration 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
