CHAPTER xxxlii.
A Crisis at the Courthouse.

A Crisis at the Courthouse.
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
rife and come with mel"
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 Murren-it' S
claimed he's planned servile rebel
lion! A man named Hues, who had
wormed his way into his confidence,
made the arrest. He carried Mukrell
into Memphis, but the local magis-
trate, intimidated, most likely, de-
clined to have anything to do with
holding him. In spite of this, Hnes
managed to get his prisoner lodged In
Jail, but along about nightfall the sit
uation began to look serious. Folks
were swarming into town armed TO
the teeth, and Hues fetched Murreil
across country to Raleigh"
Yes" said Yancy

He was as inexperienced as a

had to deal with scoundrels who had

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. Cavend1sn stayed
down yonder at the Bates plantation.

with conviction. Never again will

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.

HOllDAYING IN
THE WINTER
AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF MONEY
SPENT BY WESTERN .cANADi-
ANS IN WINTER SEASON.

san unusually large number Of
Western Canada people are leaving
or preparing to leave to spend the
Winter in California"
The above item of news was clip
ped from a Western Canada paper
early in December. In the same paper
were items of news conveying the in
telligence that hundreds of Western
Canadians were also taking trip
abroad, spending the Christmas sea-
son "at home" as they yet term the
old land The Scandinavian element
participated largely in the holiday
business of the railroads and the
steamships, but they all had return
tickets. Early in December the east
bound trains and boats were loaded,
and an estimate furnished by the rail-
road people gave upwards Of twelve
thousand as the number who would
make che Christmas holiday visit
abroad. This does not mean that these
people are leaving to avoid the cold
ness of the winter, nor for any eli
matte conditions whatever. They
have come out to Canada and have
done so we'll that they can afford the
hundred and fifty or two hundred dol
lars or more that 1t takes to carry
them across and back. When they
came to Canada they did not have
that much money all told, but now
they are wealthy and on their return
will bring some of their friends with
them.
Then there are those, too who on
their wheat farms have made sufn-
Client money that they can afford to
take holiday, and what better winter
folidaying ground could they have
than California? How many in other
farming districts of the continent
could afford the money and the time
that these people can?-Advertise-
ment.

JUDGE
By KESTER
AxNSzP4770XS Dr. zEZKZZZ

Well, the sheriff has refused to
him down at the courthouse, but
whether or not he is going to be able
to hold him is another matter!"
Yancy 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
a group of men, the greater number OF
whom were armed, stood in front OF
Pegloe's tavern. CHANGING in the d.
rection of the courthouse, he OBJ
served that the square before 1t held
other groups. But what impressed
him more was the ominous silence
that was everywhere. At his elbow,
the judge was breathing deep.
I'VE are face to face with a very
deplorable condition, Mr.. Yancy.
Court was to sit here today, but Judge
Morrow and the public prosecutor
have left town. and as you see, MUIR
rell's friends have gathered for res

would show conclusively that Murrell

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 futility was leaving the Judge.
The situation made its demands on
that basic faith in his own powers
which remained imbedded in his char
acter.

While he was speaking, the judge had
pushed his way through the crowd to
the foot of the steps.
That was very nicely said, Mr..
Belts" observed the Judge. He
smiled widely and sweetly. The sher-
if gave him hostile glare. Do you
know that Morrow has left town."
the judge went on.
Il amt got nothin' to do with Judge
Morrow. It's my duty to see that
this building is ready for him when
he's a mind to open court in it.
You are willing to assume the re-
sponsibility Of throwing open these

The judge turned to the crowd. and

Hannibal instantly sat erect and
looked up at the judge, his blue eyes
wide with amazement at this extraor-
binary statement.
''It Is very strange story, Hanni-

I already know. l, who thought that

down with no uncertain love and pride
into the small face upturned to his.
Il am I!,lad IL you are my grand
father, judge" said Hannibal very
gravely. Il always liked YOU"
Thank you, dear lad" responded
the Judge with equal gravity, and then
as Hannibal nestled back in his grand
fathers arms a single big tear drop
ped from the end OF that gentleman's
prominent nose.
