all this was different. For he had
seen certain signs that one of his
shoats had been stolen; had a pre-
sentiment that a certain unworthy
known as "Shiftless Joe" had done the
foul deed, and possessed bunch that
he was about to horsewhip Joe until
he outsQuealed any pig critter that
was ever lifted over q fence on a
moonless night. So. being man of
deeds as well as thoughts, he took
down his trusty bull whip and started
swampward towards the abode OF his
victim to be.
Now Shiftless Joe was not reckoned
among the 400 of John Harding's com.
munity, and when one Is told that
there were but 400 people In that dis.
trict he will understand that the state
ment has a welldefined meaning. He
lived alone at the edge OF the big
swamp, fishing in summer when it
was not too hot; trapping In winter
when 1t was not too cold; sleeping and
loafing the year around, he was avoid
ed by the entire Woodworking, hard
praying settlement.
1t was long tramp from the home
OF Harding to the miserable cabin of
the trapper, and by the time the for
mer had arrived there his righteous
wrath against the slothful, sinful be-
ing whom he sought was grim and un-
relenting. MY house is the house of
prayer; but We have made it a den of
thieves" he quoted sternly. Then he
raised his fist and smote upon the
wretched door such a blow as Moses
OF old might have struck when he split
the rock and babe the waters gush
forth. From within a squeaky, rat
like voice babe him enter, and through
the narrow doorway he crowded.
He glanced around the cluttered
place. From one corner a thin. weasel.
like figure arose and stood cringing
before the mighty one, fear thickly
spreading his face as he noted the
formidable whip tightly clutched in
the equally formidable hand. Good
morning, Mr.. Harding. Happy New
Year." he said. fawningly.
1T is bad morning for you, and It
is going to be an unhappy beginning
of the New Year." he retorted. Steal

threw up his hands with a protesting
gesture as quick denial leaped to his
lips. But Harding silenced him with
a roar.

arm OF the invader shoot out, the hand
gripping the thin shoulder like trap.
