farmer.

Hogs Were Drunk.-A citizen Of
Newberry went to his plantation last
week and while going through the
pasture saw a hog acting as though
something was wrong with 1t. AS he
examined it and found it shaky in the
legs he cast his eyes around and dis
covered another in a wobbly condition,
apparently dying. Other hogs on the
place were similarly affected.
Leaving word with the overseer to
put the hogs up and look after them,
the citizen returned to his city home
and family for the night, and went
back to the plantation next morning,
expecting to find the hogs dead. He
was surprised when told that the hogs
were all right.
They had just been ON drunk that
afternoon, having swilled the skim
ming Of the sorghum molasses.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Desert and the Sowr

Through streets in which the village
quiet of the summer night was undis-
turbed save by the spattering tnkle OF
the lawn sprinklers in the front yards,
and the low voices Of the outdoor
people taking the air and the moon
light on their porches, Griswold Jared
homeward, the blood pounding in his
veins and the fine wine Of life mount
ing heavily to his brain.
After all the dubious stumblings he
had come to the end OF the road, to
find awaiting him the great accusa-
ton and the great reward. BY the un-
answerable logic Of results, in its CT
feet upon others and upon himself, his
deed had proved itself q crime Right
or wrong in the highest ethical fields,
the accepted social order had proved
itself strong enough to make it's own
laws and to prescribe the far-reaching
penalties for their information. Under
these laws he stood convinced. Never
again, save through the gate of atone
ment, could he be re-instated as
soldier in the ranks Of the convention
ally righteous. True, the devotion Of
a loving woman. aided by train Of
circumstances strikingly fortuitous
and little short Of miraculous, had
aveited the final price-paying in penal
retribution. But the fact remained
He was felon.
Into this gaping wound which might
otherwise have slain him had been
poured the wine and Oil Of a great
love; a love SO clean and pure in
it's own well-springs that it could
preceive no wrong in it's object;
could measure no act Of loyal devo-
tion by any standard save that Of its
own greatness. This love asked
nothing but what he chose to give. 1t
would accept him either as he was, or
as he ought to be. The place he should
elect to occupy would be its place; his
standards it's standards.
Just here the reasoning angel opened
a door and thrust him out upon the
edge Of a precipice and left him to look
down into the abyss Of the bctrayers-
the pit Of those whose gift and curse
it is to be the pace settlers. In a flash
Of revealment it was shown him that
with the great love had come great
responsibility. Where he should lead,
Margery would follow, unshrinkingly,
unquestioningly; never asking whether
the path led up or down; asking only
that his path might be hers. Instantly
he was face to face with a fanged
choice which threatened to tear his
heart out and trample upon 1t; and
again he recorded his decision, con-
firming it with an oath. The price was
too great; the upward path too steep;
the self-denial 1t entailcd too sacrf-
fical.
I'VE have but one life to live, and
well live it together, Margery, girl,
for better or for worse" was his apos-.
trophic declaration, made while he was

turning into Shawnee street a few
doors from his lodgings; and q minute
later he was opening the Widow Hol-
combs gate.
The house was dark and apparently
deserted as to it's strect-fronting half
when he let himself in at the gate
and ran quickly up the steps. The
front door was open, and he remem-
bered afterward that he had wondered
how the careful widow had come to
leave it so, and why the hall lamp
was not lighted. From the turn at
the stairhead he felt his way to the
door of his study. Like the one below,
it was wide open, but someone had
drawn the window shades and the in
terror Of the room was as dark as a
cavern.
Once, in the novel-writing, follow
ing the lead of many worthy precedes-
sors, Griswold had made much Of the
sixth" sense: the subtle and indefin-
able presence which warns it's pos
SCISSOR Of invisible danger. No such
warning was vouchsafed him when he
leaned across the end of the writing
table, turned on the gas and held a
lighted match over the chimney Of the
working lamp. 1t was while he was
still bending over the table, with both
hands occupied, that he looked aside

man quietly. Keep your hands right
where they are, and tell in which
