were hitched at the curb, or moved
leisurely along the leafy street: big,
canvas-topped country wagons draw,
by shaggy-hoofed horses and set with
chairs that bumped and jostled their

and the crowd about the barriers, Q

again at the field. "Who is that splen-

That's Major Montague Bristow,"
said the judge. Hes been master Of

seen. looked at the wretched place
with shiver. He had glimpsed many
wretched purlieus in the slums Of
great cities. but this, in the open sun
light, with the clean woods about it
and the sweet clear blue above, stood
out with an unrelieved holiness and
contrast that was doubly sinister and
forbidding. He knew instantly that
the tawdry corner was the community
known as Hell's-HalfAcre, the place
to which Shirley had made her night
ride to rescue Hickey Snyder.

came a feeling Of shame that spot
like this could exist, a foul blot ON
such a landscape. It was on his own
land! It's denizens held place by

nevertheless, their landlord. The
thought bred new sense Of RESPONSE
bility. Something should be done for
them, too.
As he gazed, an uproar in a cabin
reached a climax. A red-bearded fig
ure in nondescript garments shot from
the door and collapsed in a heap in
the dirt. He got up with dreadful
oath-a jug thrown at him grazing
his temple as he did so-and shaking
his fist behind him, staggered into .
nearby lean-to.
Valiant turned away with feeling
almost of nausea, and plunged back
down the forest hillside.

"Friends!" snapped the other. "the

angrily, strobe to the door, and opened
it. But on the threshold he stopped,
and presently shut it, turned back
slowly and resumed his chair The
doctor was relighting his cigar, but an
odd furtive look had slipped to his
face, and the hand that struck the
match was unsteady.
For q time both sat smoking, at
first In silence, then talking in a de.

cigar into the empty crate.
