In spite of himself the Judge sighed.

but the right to choose was no longer
his. "You will be very rich, Hannibal.

deeply.

got hurt in duel, grandfather" said
Hannibal.
"He was an inexperienced as 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. Cavendish are
here too. Mrs. Cavendish stayed down
yonder at the Bates plantation.

A little later they went downstairs,
where the judge had Yancy make up
a bed for himself and Hannibal on the
floor. He would watch alone beside

have been the dead mans wish; then
he said good night and mounted heav-

CHAPTER XII.

CHAPTER XII.
The Judges Grandson.
In that bare upper room they had
shared, the judge, crushed and brOk
en-, watched beside the bed on which
the dead man lay; unconscious of the
flight of time he sat with his head
bowed in his hands, having scarcely
altered his position since he begged
those who carried Mahaffy up the
narrow stairs to leave him alone with
his friend.
He was living over the past. He re-
called his first meeting with Mahaffy
in the stuffy cabin of the small river
packet from which they had later gone
ashore at Pleasantville; he thanked
God that it had been given him to see
beneath Solomon's forbidding exterior
and into that starved heart! He re-
viewed each phase of the almost in
sensible growth of their intimacy; he
RENE mbered Mahaffy's fine true 10y
atty at the time of his arrest-he
thought of Damon and Pythias-Ma-
haffy had reached the heights of a
sublime devotion; he could only feel
ennobled that he had inspired it.
At last the dusk of twilight invaded
the room He lighted the candles on
the chimney piece, then he resumed
his seat and his former attitude. Sud
denly he became aware of a small
hand that was resting on his arm and
glanced up; Hannibal had stolen
quietly into the room. The boy point
ed to the still figure on the bed.
Judge what makes Mr.. Mahaffy lie
so quiet-is he dead?' he asked in a
whisper.
Eyes, dear lad" began the judge in
a shaking voice, as he drew Hannibal
toward him, "your friend and mine is
dead-we have lost him." He lifted
the boy into his lap, and Hannibal
pressed tear-stained face against the
judges shoulder. How did you get
here?" the Judge questioned gently.
"Uncle Bob fetched me-" said Han
nibal. Hes downstairs, but he didn't
tell me Mr.. Mahaffy was dead"
I'VE have sustained great loss,
and we must never forget
the moral grandeur of the man. Some
day, when you are older, and | can
bring myself to speak of it, will tell
you of his last moments" The judges
voice broke, a thick sob rose chok
ingly in his throat. Poor Solomon!
A man of such tender feeling that he
hid it from the world, for his was a
rare nature which only revealed itself
to the chosen few he honored with his
love-" The judge lapsed into a mo-
mentary brOoding silence, in which
his great arms drew the boy closer
against his heart. Dear lad, since ]

ishing knowledge has come to me. 1t

now-that first brought us together.

Hannibal instantly sat erect and
looked up at the judge, his blue eyes
wide with amazement at this eXtraor-
binary statement.

BEST FUN in THE WORLD
What Charles RatteII LOOMS Thought
About making the Shedding
Easier" For Others.

Several years ago Charles Battell
LOOMS, whose death recently brought
sorrow to the thousands who had
grown to know him through his lit
erary work. wrote a delightful little
article on Lending from which, be-
cause we believe that, like most good
things, it will bear repeating, we
herewith present an extract:
Isn't it queer how the most of us
will cling to our money? Maybe we
are bachelors, and have next to no
call on our funds, and there is not
day passes that we could not give a
young chap a start in business, or
make the shedding easier for a few
days, but we never think of doing a
thing. We listen to a call for $40. and
hand out the threadbare plea of the
need of papering the basement or
putting carpet in the attic, and then
in sheer ennul we go to the opera and
have a supper afterward, inviting a
rich friend, and we blow in SIC
perhaps the very SO that the poor
devil wanted, although we have so
many $40 it would be hard to tell
which was which without marking
them.
OF course. a man has a right to do
what he will with his money, and per
haps if any one of us was rich he
would enjoy getting S10's worth of
Caruso's voice far better than he
would enjoy helping a deserving man
out of hole to the extent of $40, but
just looking at it abstractedly, it
would seem that the best fun a man
could have would be looking around
for people who needed help, and help
ing them.
Imagine being a millionaire and go
ing around among the studios or the
Conservatives and finding out this fell
low with talent and that girl with a
voice, and helping them to art educa-
lions, not asking that they return the
money, but pledging them TO pass the
favor along when they themselves had
succeeded
An endless chain of that sort. Ell?
I'd like to come back here 500 years

tons passed along.
That's one good thing about human
nature. If man does a kindly thing
the fellow benefited never rests until
he can go and do something for some
one else.
