friend, l presume you refer to the
young woman in question:" he said
coolly; and the spectators snickered.
Winton felt some hidden meaning In
their mirth. He writhed under it.
what does this mean, Mr.. Hanson?"
Judge Davis continued.
Its part of the personal news
judge" answered the editor.
quite So" answered Davis. ut is
unfortunate, Mr.. Garrett. if you are
the gentleman referred to. But the
passage has my approval" His voice
began to quaver. Its our policy" he
went on, ito promote temperance, pur-
ity, and fraternity ny publicity. Woe

the %well-being of the people Of MalopoI
Woe to you, young man, if you are a
wolf in sleeps %clothingl The people
Of Malopo will tolerate nothing that
cannot peal the full light Of day
go it, judged Give him hi,
judge" yelled the citizen who had
spoken before.
Judge Davis looked about him unctu-
ously and smacked his lips. He knew
well how to take advantage of the 9d-
miration which his gallery play
aroused.
"The Chronicle will not be intimi-
dated in its policy of public justice"
he pursued. do you wish to lay a
charge of assault and battery against
Mr.. Garrett?" he inquired of Sam.
Il want him arrested! !" yelled Sam.
HE cut my lip. I'm a British subject
and | demand justice
And you shall have it," answered
the judge. "White or colored, every
man is entitled to the full protection
of the law. Go home, young man, and
reflect on that" he said to Wintop-
Il made a mistake" said Winton
hoarsely.
THAT'S better, my friend"
Eyes, | made a mistake" he shouted,
shaking his fist in the judges face.
Next time this happens it's you who
will pay the penalty. I'll take the hide
off your bones, you cowardly dog, old
as you are! Understand me- he CON
tinued, looking so frantic that the
judge stepped back to avoid the antici-
pated blow, powerful as you may be
in this town, youli attack n woman
through the medium of your paper at
your personal peril !"
Pushing his way through the crowd,
he went at a great rate until he found
himself unaccompanied. He began TO
realize that he had made fool Of him
self. He had given Sheila exactly that
publicity which he desired to avoid.
He had played into his enemies hands.
He must find her now before any
thing else was done.
He strobe into the Continental. The +
men were just going into the dining
room. Winton accompanied the crowd;
but at the cashiers desk he saw a stout
blonde, with rouged face and penciled
eyebrows, ana Sheila was nowhere in
the room. The entrance of Winton,
glazing about him and showing all
the evidences Of his agitation, at
universal attention.
The manager recognized him as one
Of his disappointments. Whit on's re-
moval to the European had angered
him, and he had a sneering remark
at the tip of his tongue which died
away as he saw the look on Winton's
where's Miss Seaton?' demanded
Winton.
"She amt here today" answered the
man. This amt no drawing room.
If you want dinner, sit down. If you
don't, get out !"
The girls were watching the argu-
ment, which had every aspect of de-
veloping into an alteration. The
graph, were smiling broadly.
II asked you where she was" said
Winton doggedly.
Winton's former waitress took pity
IN him. She had liked Winton, and adj
nired him as different from the crowd
who focked into the place. shes
gone to the races" she whispered.
Winton left the hotel. He knew that
he had made a fool of himself for the
second time. The story of his infatu-
would be all over Malopo.
He had not known that there was
my racing that day. He had noticed
nothing, absorbed as he was with his
me thought. But now he saw that a
procession of carts and wagons, horse
nen and pedestrians. with here and
here a smart dog-cart, was making its
way toward the south side of the town.
Vinton tramped along in their wake,
Malopo was left behind, and he
the race course in front of him,
rowded with spectators.
