WESTCOTT AND
INGERSOLL CASE.

Editors Pleasantville Press:
Having noticed in the papers, we
would like to give the full account Of
the case. We are glad to know that
Magistrate Weeks did justice in the
case, which he tried at his Office Mon
day evening. This would-be great
prize fighter got the statement
wrong in regards to Westcott getting
beaten. Ingersoll got one blow be-
tween the eyes and Westcott got cut
under the chin by some sharp instru-
ment, and the prize fighter run and
the fight was all off, Instead of In
gersoll being under $500 bail to keep
the peace, he is under $500 bail to ap-
pear before the grand jury in October.
In regards to the waylaying Of the
daughter, he was warned three times,
but still disregarded the warning un-
til we had to use the law on him.
This publishing was in the paper
Tuesday and Thursday; was traced up
at the Editorial Department and
found Ingersoll was the publisher.

misleading conversation which the
judge had held with Mr. Pegloe after
his return from Belle Plain, lost in
weight, 1t might have been observed
that he and Mr.. Mahaffy seemed to
gain in that nice sense of equity which
should form the basis Of all human re-
Iations. The judge watched Mr.. Ma
haffy. and Mr.. Mahaffy watched the
judge, each trustfully placing the reg
ulation Of his private conduct In the
hands of his friend, as the one most
likely to be affected by the rectitude
of his acts.
Probably SO extensive consump-
tion of Mr.. Pegloe's corn whisky had
never been accomplished with great
er highmindedness They honorably
split the last glass, the judge scorning
to set up any technical claim to it as
his exclusive property; then he stared
at Mahaffy, while Mahaffy, dark
visaged and forbidding. stared back
at him.
The Judge sighed deeply. He took
up the jug and inverted it. A stray
drop or so fell languidly into his glass.
"Try squeezing it. Price," said Ma
haffy.
The Judge shook the jug, 1t gave
forth an empty sound, and he sighed
again; he attempted to peer into it.

Freckle-Face
New Remedy That Removes Freckles or
Costs Nothing

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle- Face, to
try new remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that it
will not cost you penny unless it re-
moves the freckles, while if it does give
you clear complexion, the expense is
trifing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-dou-
BILE strength from Thos. F. Crawford,
and one, nights treatment will show you
how easy it is to rid yourself of the
homely freckles and get a beautiful
complexion. Rarely is more than one
ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask Thos. f. Crawford for
the double strength othine, as this is
the only prescription sold under guaran-
tee of money back if it fails to remove
freckles.

Go on" said the Judge, with stolid
resolution
Two miles out of the village they
came to a roadside spring: here they
paused for an instant. Mahaffy
scooped up handfuls of the clear wa
ter and sucked 1t greedily. The judge
dropped on his stomach and buried
his face In the tiny pool, gulping
up great thirsty swallows. After a
long breathless instant he stood erect,
with drops of moisture clinging to his
nose and eyebrows. Mahaffy was q
dozen PAGES down the road. hurrying
forward again with relentless vigor.
The Judge shuffied after him. The
tracks they left In the dust crossed
and re-crossed the road, but present
ly the slanting lines of their advance
Strengthened, the judge gained and
held fixed place at Mahaffy's right
q step or SO in the rear. His opulent
fancy began to deal with the situa'
ton.
'If anything happens to the child
the man responsible for it would bet
ter never been born-IIl pursue him
with undiminished energy from this
moment FORTH" he painted.
\ what could happen to him, Price?"
asked Mahaffy.
God knows. poor little lad!"
"Will you shut upl" cried Maha1y
savagely.

"Why. do you go building on that
idea? Why should any one harm him
what earthly purpose"
Il tell you, Solomon, we are the
pivotal point in vast circle Of crime.
This is blow at me-this Is revenge,
sir, neither more nor less! They have
struck at me through the boy, it Is as
plain as day."
"What did the overseer say?"
Gust that they found Miss Malroy
gone from Belle Plain this mornings
and the boy with her,"
This is like you, Price! How do
you know they haven't spent the night
at some neighbor's?"
1.-THE nearest neighbor Is i've or six
miles distant. Miss Malroy and Han7
nibal were seen along about dusk IN
the grounds at Belle Plain; do you
mean to tell me you consider 1t likely
that they set out on foot at that hour
and without a word to any one, to
make a visit?" inquired the Judge; but
Mahaffy did not contend for this
point.
What are you going to do first.
Price?"
Have look over the grounds, and
talk with the slaves"
where's the brother-wasn't he at
Belle Plain last night?"
TT seems he went to Memphis yes
terday."
They plodded forward in silence;
now and again they were passed by
some man on horseback whose des-
tination was the same as their own,
and then at last they caught sight OF
Belle Plain in its grove Of trees.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Judge Takes Charge.

All work Oh the plantation had
stopped, and the hundreds OF slaves
men, women and children-were gath
cred about the house. Among these
moved the members of the dominant
race. The judge would have attached
himself to the first group, but he
heard whispered question, and the
answer:
Miss Malroy's lawyer"
Clearly it was not for him to mix
with these outsiders, these curiosity
seekers. He crossed the lawn to the
house, and mounted the steps. In the
doorway was big Steve, while groups
of men stood about in the hall, the
hum of busy purposeless talk pervad-
ing the place. The judge frowned.
This was all wrong.
"Has Mr.. Ware returned from Mem
phis?" he asked of Steve.
mo, sab; not yet"
Then show me into. the library" !"
said the judge with bland authority,
surrendering his nat to the butler.
Come along, Mahaffy!" he added.
They entered the library, and the
Judge motioned Steve to close the
door. Now, boy, you'll kindly ask
those people to withdraw-you may
say it Is Judge Prices orders. Allow
no one to enter the house unless they
have business with me, or as send
for them-you understand? After you
have cleared the house, you may
bring me decanter of corn whisky
stop a bit-you may ask the sheriff
to step here"
Eyes, sah'' And Steve withdrew.
The Judge drew an easy-chair up to
the f1at-topped desk that stood In the
center OF the room, and seated him
self.
Are you going to make this the
excuse for another drunk, Price? II
SO, feel the greatest contempt for
you," said Mahaffy sternly.
The judge WINGED at this.
You have made regrettable
choice of words, Solomon" he urged
gently.
where's your feeling for the boy?''
"Here!" said the judge, with an eIo-
quent gesture, resting his hand on his
heart.
IF you let whisky alone, Ill believe
you: otherwise what have said must
stand"
The door opened, and the sheriff
slouched into the room. He was chew
ing a long wheat straw. and his whole
appearance was one Of troubled weak
ness.
Morning he said briefly.
"Sit down, sheriff" and the judge
indicated meek seat for the official
in distant corner. Have you learned
anything?" he asked.
The sherif shook his head.
What you turning all these neigh
bors out Of doors for?" he questioned.

What for?" asked Mahaffy.

claimed the judge. Coming as you
do from that section which invented

clock that has been known to run
as much as four or five hours at a
stretch. | am aware the Yankees are
an ingenious people; wonder none
of 'em ever thought or jug with
glass bottom, so that when body
holds it up to the light he can see at
a glance whether 1t is empty or not.
Do you reckon Peg1oe has sufficient
confidence to fill the jug again for
us?"
But. Mahaffy's expression. indicated
no great confidence In Mr.. Pegloe's
confidence.
Credit" began the judge, is pro-
verbally shy; still it may sometimes
be increased, like the muscles of the
body and the mental faculties, by ju-
dicious use. I've always regarded
Pegloe's as cheap mind. hope /

on his hat, and tucking the jug under
his arm went from the house.
Ten or fifteen minutes elapsed. Ma
haffy considered this a good sign; 1t
didn't take long to say no. he reflect
ed. Another ten or fifteen elapsed.
Mahaffy lost heart. Then there came
hasty step beyond the door, 1t was
thrown violently open, and the judge
preeipitated himself into the room. A
glance showed Mahaffy that he was
laboring under intense excitement.
Solomon, I bring shocking news.

would to God / had an answer
ready for that question, Solomon!"
answered the judge, with melan-
choly shake of the mead. He gazed
down on his friend with an air OF
large tolerance. Il am going to Belle
Plain, but you are too drunk. Sleep
1t of, Solomon, and join me when
your brain Is clear and your legs
steady"
Mahaffy jerked out an oath. and
lifting himself of his chair. stood
erect. He snatched up his hat.
"Stuff your pistols into your pock-
cts, and come on, Price!" he said,
and stalked toward the door.
He fitted up the street, and the
Judge pulled and painted In his wake.
They gained the edge OF the village
without speech.
There is mystery and rascality
here!" said the judge.
What do you know, Price, and
where did you hear this?" Mahafry
shot the question back over his shoul-
der.
"At Pegloe's; the Belle Plain over
seer had just fetched the news into
town.
Again they were silent, all their
energies being absorbed by the physi-
cal exertion they were making. The
road danced before their burning
eyes, It seemed to be uncoiling itself

then the cook, and various house serv-

lastly big Steve.

Why. not exactly, sab, but he come

"I'll see the overseer-what's his
name?-Hicks? Suppose you go for
him!" said the Judge. addressing the
sheriff.
The sheriff was gone from the room
only a few moments, and returned
with the information that Hicks was
down at the bayou, which was to be
dragged.
"Why?" inquired the judge.
Hicks says Miss Malroy's been act
ing mighty queer ever since Charley
Norton was shot-distracted like! He
says he noticed 1t, and that Tom Ware
noticed it."
How does he explain the boys dis,
appearance?"
He reckons she throwed herself In,
and the boy tried to drag her out, like
he naturally would, and got drawed

"Humphl I'll trouble Mr.. Hicks to
step here" said the Judge quietly.
There's Mr.. Darlington and q
couple of strangers outside who've
been asking about Miss Malroy and
the boy; seems like the strangers

Moth Carolina" said the sheriff as he
turned away.

from the room and the Judge dismissed
