CHAPTER xxxI.-(contlnued.)
At last he decided to go back to
the Judge; and moment later was
hurrying down the lane in the direc-
ton OF the highroad. but, jaded as he
was by the effort he had already put
for that day, the walk to Raleigh
made tremendous demands on him,
and 1t was midnight when he entered
the little town.
II cannot be said that he was alto
gether surprised when he found their
cottage dark and apparently desert
ed. He had half expected this. En-
tering, and not stopping to secure
candle, he CROPPED his way upstairs to
the room on the second floor which
he and the Judge shared.
"Price!" he called, but this gained
him no response. and he cursed soft
~ under his breath.
He hastily descended to the kitch-
en-, lighted a candle. and stepped into
the adjoining room. On the table was
a neat pile OF papers, and topping the
pile was the presidents letter. BE-
ing burdened by no false scruples,
and thinking 1t might AFFORD some
clue to the judges whereabouts, Ma
hairy took 1t up and read 1t. Having
mastered its contents he Instantly
glanced in the direction OF the City
Tavern, but 1t was wrapped in dark
ness.
Price Is drunk somewhere" was
his definite conclusion. But he'll be
at Boggs' the first thing in the morn
ing-most likely so far gone he can
hardly stand!"
The letter, with its striking news,
made little or no impression on him
lust then; 1t merely furnished the
clue he had sought. The Judge was
off somewhere marketing his pros.
poets.
After time Mahaffy went up
stairs, and, without removing his
clothes, threw himself on the bed. He
was worn down to the point of ex
haustion, yet he could not sleep
though the deep silence warned him
that day was not far on What If
but he would not let the thought
shape itself in his mind He had wit
messed the judges skill with the pts
toll, and he had even certain IRA
tional faith in that gentleman's des
tiny. He prayed God that Fentresi
might die quickly and decently witt
the judges bullet through his brain
Over and over in savage supplicatior
he muttered his prayer that Fentresl
might die.
Mahaffy watched for the coming O
the dawn, but before the darkness
lifted he had risen from the bed anC
gone downstairs, where he made him
self a cup of wretched coffee. Ther
he blew out his candle and watched
the gray light spread. He was i'm
patient now to be on. and fully al
hour before the sun. set out To-

morning. He was the first to reach
the place of meeting, but he had
scarcely entered the meadow when
Fentress rode up, attended by Tom
Ware. They dismounted. and the
colonel lifted his hat. Mahaffy bare.

In no mood for courtesies that meant
nothing. Ware was clearly OF the
same mind.
There was an awkward pause. then
Fentress and Ware spoke together in
a low tone. The planters speech was
broken and hoarse, and his heavy,
blood-shot eyes were the eyes OF a
haunted man; this was all a part OF
Fentress' scheme to face the world,
and Ware still believed that the fires
Hicks had kindled had served his des-
perate need.
When the first long shadows stole
out from the edge OF the woods Fen
tress turned to Mahafry, whose glance
was directed toward the distant cor
ner of the field. where he knew his
friend must first appear.
why are we waiting, sir?" he de-
manded, his tone cold and formal.
Something has occurred to detain
Price," answered Mahaffy.
The colonel and Ware exchanged
looks. Again they spoke together,
while Mahaffy watched the road. Ten
minutes slipped by in this manner,
and once more Fentress addressed
Mahaffy.
