"MIhh Hetty, bo'B Just llko my Undo Hob wo he nln't afraid of nothing! Ho totes tuotn pistols or his loaded If you notice good you cnu see where they bulge out bis coat!" Han nibal's eyes, very round and big, looked up Into hers. "Is he as poor as he seems, Han nibal?" Inquired Hetty. "He never haa no money. Miss Het ty, but 1 don't reckon bo's what a body would call pore." It might bnvo bullied a 'far more tnuturo Intelligence than Hannibal's to comprehend, those peculiar process es b which the Judgo sustained bliu elf and his tntlmute fellowship with adversity that It was his mngntti cenco of mind which made the squalor of his dally life seem merely a passing phaHc but tho boy bad managed to point a delicato distinc tion, and Hetty grasped something of the hopo and lakh which never quite died out In Blocum I'rtcu's lndouiltn bio breaht. "Hut j ou always have enough to eat, dear?" she questioned anxiously. Hannibal promptly roassured her on this point. "You wouldn't let mo think anything that wasvot true, Han nibal you aro qulto sure you have nvor been hungry?" "Never, Miss Hetty; honest!" Detty gave a sigh of roller. 8 lie bad been reproaching herself for her neglect or tho child; she had mount to do bo much for him and had done nothing! Now It was too late for her personally to Interest herself In his behalf, yet bcrore sho lert ror the east she would provide ror him. ir she nad felt it was possible to trust the Judge she would have made him her agent, but even In his best aspect be Beamed a dubious dependence Tom, for qulto different reasons, w equal ly out of tho question. 8 ho thought or Mr. Mahaffy. "What kind of a man 1b Mr. Ma fcaffy, Hannibal?" "He's an awful nice man, MIbs Met ty, only he never lets on; a body's gut to find It out ror his own seir he ain't like tho Judgo." "Does he drink, too, Hannibal?" questioned Detty. 'on, yes; wncn ho can got tho Itcker, ho docs." It was evident that Hunulbal was cheerfully tolerant of this weakness on tho part or the austere Mahaffy. Uy this time Hotty was ready to weep over tho child, with his knowledge of shabby vice, and his fresh young fnltli In those old tatterdemalions. "Hut, no matter what thoy do, they nro vory, very kind to you?" eho con tinued tremulously. "Yes, ma'am why, Miss Hetty, they'ro lovely men!" "And do you over hear tho things spoken of you learned about at Mrs. Ferris' Sunday-school?" "When tho Judgo Is drunk ho talks heap about 'em. It's beautiful to hoar htm then; you'd love It, Miss Betty,' and Hannibal smiled up sweet ly Into her face. "Does he have you go to Sunday school In Knlclgh?" The boy shook his head. "I ain't got no clothes that's tltten to wear, nor no pontiles to glvo, but the Judgo, he 'lows that as Boon us ho enn make a raise I got to go, and ho.'s learning mo my letters but wo nln't A book. Miss Hetty, I reckon it'd stump jou some to guons how he'B fixed It ror me to learn?" "He's drawn the lettors for you, is that tho way?" in Hplto of herself, Hetty was experiencing a certain re vulsion of fueling where tho Judge uud KBy Cor"t Aiaiiaffy were concerned. Thoy wero doubtless bad enough, but they could hate been worse. "No, ma'am; ho done soaked the label off one of Mr. Pegloo's whisky buttles and pasted It on tho wall Just as high as my chin, so's I can see It good, and he's learning mo tbat-a-way! Maybo you've Been the kind or bottlo I mean Pegloo's Mississippi Pilot; Puro Corn Whliky?" Uut Han nllmi'H bright little race fell. He was quick to sco that tho educational sys tern devised by tho Judgo did not Im press Hetty at all favorably. She drew him Into her arms. "You shall have my books the books 1 learned to read out or when 1 wns a little girl, Hannibal!" "1 llko learning from tho label pret ty well," said Hannibal loyally. "Hut you'll like the books bettor, dear, when you see them. 1 know Just where they nro, for I happened on them on a sholf In the library only tho other day." After they had round nnd examined tho books and Hannibal had grudlng ly admitted that they might possess certain points or advantage ovor the label, ho nnd Uety went out ror a walk. It was now late nftornoon and tho sun was sinking behind the wall or the forost that rose along the Ar kansas coast. Their steps bad lod them to tho terrace where they stood looking off Into tho west. It was here that Hetty bad Bald good-by to Hruce Harrington it might have been months ago, and It was only days. She thought of Charley Charley, with his youth and hope and high courage unwittingly enough she had led him on to bis death! A sob roso In her throat. Hannibal looked up Into her face. The memory or his own loss was nover very long absent from bis mind, and Miss Dotty had been the victim of a similarly sinister tragedy. You Needn't Be Afraid, I Got He recalled those tlrst awful days of loneliness through which bo had lived, when there was no Undo Hob soft voiced, smiling and intlnltoly com panionable. "Why, Hannibal, you aro crying what ubout, dear?" asked Hotty sud denly. "No, ma'am; 1 ain't crying," said Hannibal stoutly, but his wet lasbos gave tho Ho to tils words. "Aro you homesick do you wish to go back to tho Judgo and Mr. Ma haffy?" "No, ma'am It ain't that I was Just thinking " "Thinking about what, dear?" "About my Undo Hob." Tho small face was very wistful. "Oh and you still tnlss him so much, Hannibal?" "1 bet I do 1 reckon anybody who know Undo Hob would nover get over mlsbtng him; thoy Just couldn't, Miss Hotty! The. Judgo Is mighty kind, and ho is Mr. Mahaffy they're uwful kind, Miss Hetty, and It scorns llko they get kinder all tho time but THE PRODIGAL JUDGE 5;UGHArf KESTXR, UVSTtyTtONS By&MELVIU Ip'l. TieOdMi Mtwtl Cotnnr with Undo Hob, when hu liked you. ho Just laid hlmsolf out to let you know It!" "That does mako a great dlfTor enco, doesn't it?" agreed Hotty sadly, and two piteous tearful eyes were bent upon him. "Don't you reckon If Uncle Hob Is alive, like tho Judge Bays, and he's over going to II ml me, ho had ought to bo here by now?" continued Han nibal anxiously. "Hut It hasn't been such a great whllo, Hannibal; It's only that so much has happened to you.' ir ho was very badly hurt It may havo been weoka beforo be could travel; and then when ho could, perhaps he went back to that tavern to try to learn what had become or you. Hut we may bo quite ccrtuln he will never abandon his search until ho has made every possible effort to find you, dear! That means ho will sooner or later come to west Tennessee, for thore will always be tho hopo that you have found your way here." "Sometimes I get mighty tired wait ing, Miss Detty," confessed tho boy. "Seems like I Just couldn't wait no longer" Ho sighed gently, and then his face cleared. "You reckon he'll come most any time, don't you, Miss Detty?" "Yes, Hannibal; any day or hour!" "Whoop!" muttered Hannibal sort ly under his breath. Presently he asked: "Where does that branch take you to?" He nodded toward the bayou at tho root or tho terraced bluff. "It empties Into tho river," an swered Hetty. Hannibal saw a small skiff beached among the cottonwoods that grew along the water's, edge and his eyes lighted up Instantly. He had a Juvenile passion for boats. "Why, you got a boat, ain't you, Miss Detty?" This was a charming nnd an Important discovery. Something Important to Say." "Would you like to go down to It?" Inquired Hotty. "'Deed would! Doos sho leak Any, Miss Hotty?" "1 don't know about that. Do boats usually leak, Hannibal?" "Why, you ain't ovor been out row lng her. Miss Hetty, havo you? nnd there ain't no better tun than rowing a boat!" Thoy had started down tho path. "I used to think that, too, Mnnnl bal; bow do you biipposo It la that when pepplo grow up thoy orget nil about tho roully nice things they might do?" "What uso Is sho If yon don't go rowing In her?" persisted Hannibal. "Oh, but It Is used. Mr. Tom uses It In crossing to tho other sldo whero they nro clearing land tor cotton. It saves him a lontr walk or ride about tho hentl or the bayou." "Llko 1 should tnl;o you out In her, Miss Hetty?" demanded Hanulbal with palpitating nnxloty. They had entered tho scattering tlmbor when Detty paused suddenly SB - B-?aaalala5.sawaas H H 'T M with a startled exclamation, and Han nibal felt her fingers close convul sively about his. The sound Bhe hnd heard might havo been only tho rust ling or tho wind among tho branches overhead In that shadowy silence, but lletty's nerves, the placid nerves or youth and perfect health, were shat tered "Didn't you hear something, Han nibal?" she whispered fearfully. For answer Hannibal pointed mys terlously, and glancing In tho direc tion ho indicated, Detty snw a woman advancing along the path townrti them. The look or ala'rm slowly died out of bis eyes. "I think It's tho overseer's niece," she told Hannibal, and they kept on toward the boat. Tho girl came rapidly up the path, which closely followed the Irregular lino of the shore In Its windings Once she was seen -to stop and glance back over her shoulder, her attitude Intent nnd listening, then sho hurried forward again. Just at the boat the three met. "Good evening!" said Hetty pleas antly. The girl made no reply to this; she merely regarded Detty with a fixed stare. At length she broke the si lence abruptly. "I got something 1 want to say to you you know who I am, 1 reckon?" She was a girl of about Hetty's own age, with a certain dark, sullen beau ty and that physical attraction which Tom, In spite of his vexed mood, bad takon note of earlier in tho day. "You are Dess Hicks." said Hetty. "Make tho boy go back toward the house a spell I got something 1 want to say to you." Hetty hesitated. She was offended by the girl's manner, which was as rude as her speech. "1 ain't going to hurt you you needn't bo afraid of me. I got something Im portant to say send hlra off, I tell you; there ain't no time to lose!" The girl stamped her loot Impatiently. ' Hetty mado a sign to Hannibal and he passed slowly back along the path. Ho went unwillingly, and be kept his head turned that he might sco what was done, even ir he wore not to hear what was said. "That will do, Hannibal wait tbero don't go any farther!" Hetty called after hi m when ho had reached a point sufficiently distant to bo out, or bearing of a conversation carried on In an ordinary tone. "Now, what Is It? Speak quickly ir you have any thing to tell mo!" "I got a heap to say," answered tho girl with n scowl.. Her manner was still fierce and repcllant, and Bhe gnvo Detty n certain Jealous regard out of her black eyes which tho latter was nt'a loss to explain. "Where's Mr. Tom?" Bhe domanded. "Tom? Why, about the place, I suppose In his office, perhaps." So It bad to do with Tom. . . . Hetty fell sudden disgust with the situation. "No, he ain't about tho place, eith er! He done struck out for Memphis two hours after sun-up, and wbnt's more, he ain't coming bnck h,ere to night " Thore was a moment of si lence. The girl looked about appre hensively, Sho continued, llxlng her black eyes on Hetty: "You're here alone at Hello Plain you know what happened when Mr. Tom started tor Memphis last time I reckon you-ull ain't forgot that!" Detty telt a pallor steal over her face. Sho rested n hand that shook on tho trunk or n tree to steady her self. Tho girl laughed shortly. "Don't be so scared; I reckon Hollo Plain's as good as his IT anything happened to you?" i Hy a great effort Hetty gained a measure of control over herself. Sho took n step nearer and looked the girl stendlly In tho face. "Perhaps you will stop this sort -of talk, and toll mo what Is going to happen to me If you know?" she said quietly. "Why do you reckon Mr. Norton was shot? I can tell you why It was all along or you that wnB why!". The girl's rurtlvo gltuico, which searched and watched the gathering Bhadows, came back as It alwuya did to Hetty's pale lace. "You ain't no surer than he was, I toll you!" and she Bucked In her breath sharply be tween her full red lips. "Wbnt do you moan?" faltered Hetty, "Do you tockon you're Bare here in tho big house alono? Why do you reckon Mr. Tom cleared out ror Mem phis? It was because ho couldn't be around and havo anything happen to you that was why!" and tho girl sank her voice to a whisper. "You quit Dello Plain now tonight Just as soon as you can!" "This Is absurd you are trying to frighten mo!" "Did thoy stop with trying to fright, en Charloy Norton?" demanded Hess, with harsh Insistence. (TO HE CONTINUED.)

"Nltipty-flvo per cent of our con sumption," says tho Notth Carolina state board of health, "comes from careless spitting, coughing and sneez ing." particularly on tho part of the consumptive, but also from people who are apparently healthy. "Spit If frequently laden with deodly dlseas germs, particularly that of consump tives. "When one coughs, spits or sneezes, a grent multitude of tiny drops ol spittle are violently expelled from the mouth nnd nose. The lnrgest of these drops can bo readily seen. A large number of smaller droplets can be found If a mirror or piece of bIbbs Is held before tho face when coughing or sneezing. A tremendous quantity of still smaller droplets are dlai charged In the form of an Invisible Bpray or mist, which floats about la the nlr for some time. Scientists have found that when a man coughs, spItB or sneezes In a large hall or room where tho air Is quiet, these tiny, invisible germ-laden droplets will float In the air for a distance of 25 to 100 feet. These tiny droplets. In tho form of mist or spray, may be breathed In by other people, or they may settle on objects with which they come Into Intimate contact, such as food and clothing. Viewed In this light, such conduct1 is at least Im polite. Furthermore, It Is dangerous to the public at large to have careless people actually, coughing, sneezing nnd spitting germ-laden matter into "their faces, even If it Is Invisible and In the form of fine mist."
