ayailing regret is that Solomon Ma

our altered fortunes And the Judge
sighed deeply.
Uncle Bob told me Mr.. Mahany
got hurt in a duel, grandfather" said
Hannibal.
He was as inexperienced as q
child In the use of firearms, and he
had to deal with scoundrels who had
neither mercy nor generous feeling
but his courage was magnificent"
Presently Hannibal was deep In his
account of those adventures he had
shared with Miss Betty.
And Miss Malroy-where is she
now?" asked the judge, in the first
pause Of the boys narrative
She's at Mr.. Bowen's house. Mr..
Darlington and Mr.. Cayendish are
here too. Mrs. Cavendish stayed
down yonder at the Bates plantation.
Grandfather, it were Captain Murreli
who had me stole-do you reckon he
was going to take me back to Mr..
Bladen?"

morning. We must combine-our in
terests are Identical. There should

scoundrel. ] can see now how GRIM

shrink from what know to be a pub

A little later they went downstairs,
where the Judge had Yancy make up
bed for himself and Hannibal on
the floor. He would watch alone be-
side Mahaffy. he was certain this
would have been the dead mans wish:
then he said good night and mounted
heavily to the floor above to resume
his vigil and his musings.

CHAPTER xxxnI.
A Crisis at the court-Hcuse.

n Crisis at the Court-Hcuse.
Just at daybreak Yancy was reused
by the pressure of hand on his
shoulder. and opening his eyes saw
that the judge was bending over him.
"Dress." he said briefly. There's
every prospect of trouble-get your
rifle and come with me-"
Yancy noted that this prospect OF
trouble seemed to afford the Judge a
pleasurable sensation; indeed, he had
QUITE lost his former air OF somber
and suppressed melancholy.
Il let you sleep. thinking you need
ed the rest" the Judge went on. but
ever since midnight we've been on the
verge of riot and possible bloodshed.
They've arrested John Murrell-it's
claimed he's planned servile rebel
lion. A man named Hres, who had
wormed his way into his confidence,
made the arrest. He carried Murrell
into Memphis, but the local magis-
trate, intimidated, most likely. de-
clined to have anything to do with
holding him. In spite of this, Hues
managed to get his prisoner lodged in
Jail, but along about nightfail the sit
uation began to look serious. Folks
were swarming into town armed to
the teeth, and Hues fetched Murrell
across country to Raleigh"
YES" said Yancy.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1912-11-02

Well, the sheriff has refused To
take Murrell into custody. Hues has
him down at the courthouse, but
whether or not he is going to be- able
to hold him is another matter!"
Tancy and Hannibal had dressed by
this time. and the judge led the way
from the house. The Scratch Hitler
looked about him. Across the street
group OF men. the greater number OF
whom were armed, stood In front OF
Pegfoe's tavern. CHANGING in the d.
rection Of the courthouse; he OBJ
served that the square before it held
other groups. But what impressed
him more was the ominous silence
that was everywhere. At his elbow.
the judge was breathing deep.
We are face to face with very
deplorabie condition. Mr.. Fancy.
Court was to sit here today, but Judge
Morrow and the public prosecutor
have left town. and as you see, Murr
rell's friends have gathered for a. res
cue. There's a sprinklings OF the bet
ter element-but only spr1nkiing.
l saw Judge Morrow this morning at
four o'clock told him would OBJ

sideration evidence Of striking and
sensational character. evidence which
would show conclusively that Murreil
should be held to await the action OF
the next grand 1ury-this was after a
conference with Hues-I guaranteed
his safety. Sir. the man refused to-
listen to me! He showed himself UT;
terly devoid OF any feeling of public
duty" The bitter sense OF failure
and utility was leaving the judge.
The situation made its demands on
that basic faith in his own powers
which remained imbedded in his cflars
acter.
They had entered the courthouse
square. On the. steps of the building

pose? j am going to open them doors
"a passed. of strangers can't keep
folks out OF a building their own

While he was speaking, the judge had
pushed his way through the crowd to
the foot OF the steps.
That was very nicely saidy Mr..
Belts" observed the Judge. He
smiled widely and sweetly The shers

NEED OF KINDERGARDEN

When we say that we believe that national problems reach back even ,o the nursery it is merely stating in other words Froebeps claim that the destiny of nations lies far more in the hands of mothers than with the pos sessors of power"
 The questions of immigration, in- dustrial warfare, predatory wealth, have their counterpart in the reaim of Kindergarten. The foreign mother who encourages her child to add o the family income without thought nf property rights, the mother who Is a wage-earner must leave her brood with immature sisters or brothers. the society deyotee who between weakened parties and nervous break down cannot be disturbed by the in- terests of her one-day to be citizen, all present to the kindergartner grave questions.
 America is in danger of becoming an enormous orphanage Business which takes the father away before the children are up and keeps him away until after they retire, makes them almost fatherless. The social life of the mother Is practically the same thing. In an effort to give com mercial and social position to their children, they keep from them their most precious heritage.
 strong argument for the kinder garten is it's splendid opportunity for practicing the social virtues. AL though of German origin it flourishes in our democratic land Froebel call ed it "the free republic of child hood.H And he desired to make ready for political freedoM py first having self-control in the child Obedience is the first step but let it be under stood both the kindergartner and the children obey the law Through the social life of the kindergarten one help the child to cease to be the self centered monarch of the nursery and to come to a nSbler, truer self which means self -forgetfulness in service to others. Here he must find happi- ness by submitting his will to wiser will and through moral, not physical cumpulsion recognize the right We strive for respect for law not merely slavish obedience to an individual.

 That night" went on Mir. Master son, met Howell at the Arlington where was staying. asked him again whether his recollection of any of the details Schepps talk had im- proved.
