CHAPTER XXIII. (Continued.)
"And General Qulntard nover srxw
him never manifested any Interest
In him?" the words came slowly from
tho Judge's lips: he seemed to ulp
down something that roBe In bis
throat. "Poor llttlo lad I" he mut
tered, and again, "Poor little lad I"
"Never once, sir. Ho told the
slaves to keep blm out ot his sftht.
Wo-all wondered, to' you know tow
niggers will talk. Wo thought mrybo
he was somo kin to tho QutnUffdB,
but wo couldn't figure out how. The

Yancy paused.
Tho judgo drummed ldlr on 'tho
desk.
"What lmplacablo hato what tron

hand across his eves. Absorbed and
aloof, he was busy with his thoughts

"One other question," 'he said. "Un
til this man Murrell appeared you
had no trouble with Uladen T He was
content that you should keep the
child your right to Hannibal was
never challenged?"
"Novor, sir. All my troubles began
about that time."
"Murrell belongs in these parts,"
cald tho Judgo.
"I'd admire to to meet him," said
Taney quietly.
The Judge grinned.
"I place my professional services at
your disposal," he ald. "Yours is a
dear case of felonious assault."
f 'No, it ain't, sir I look at it thls-a-ways;

Hicks had taken his time in re
sponding to the Judge's summons, but
now his step sounded in the nail and
throwing open the door he cntorod
the room.. Whether consciously or
not he had acquired something ot that
surly, forbidding manner which was
characteristic of hla employer, A curt
nod of the head was his only greet
ing. "Will you sit down?" asked tho
judg... Hick ftlgnllled by another
movement of the head that ho rould

"Ain't It?" agrood HickB. "What

petulantly.
"Have you etarted to drag the
bayou?" naked tho Judgo. llicka
nodded. "Ttmt was your Idea?" sug
gested the Judge.
"No, it wa'n't," objected Hicks
quickly. "But I said sho hod been

"How?" inquired tho Judgo. arching
Jils eyebrows. Hicks was plainly dis

"Poor Little Lad!"
"Ho spoke of it?"
"Yes, sir; him and mo discussed it

The Judgo regardod Hicks long and
Intently and in sllonco. His magnln
cont mind was at work. If Botty had
beon distraught ho had not observed
any sign ot it the previous day. it
Ware were better Informed as to hor
truo mental atato why had he cboson
this time to go to Memphis?
"I suppose Mr. Ware asked you to
keep an eye on Miss Malroy while he
was away from home?" Bald tho Judge.
Hicks, suspicious of the drift of his
questioning, made no answer. "I sup
pose you told the house sorvants to
koep hor under observation?'' contin
ued the Judgo.
"I don't tall: to no nissers." replied
Hicks, "excopt to give 'om my or
ders." "Well, did you give thorn that or
der?"
"No, I didn't"
Tho sudden and hurried entrance of
big Btevo brought the Judge's exam
ination ot Mr. Hicks to a standstill.

"Well, what of that?" crlod Hicks
quickly.
"Thar warn't no Qeorgo, mind you,
Mas'r, but dar was his team In do

"Yes," interrupted Hicks uneasily;

"There's a nlggor tor you!" said
Hicks. "Sho took tho rascal out ot

"Ahf" said tho Judgo softly. "Then

"I reckon he'll have to travel a

none this sldo ot Colonel Dates' down
below Qlrard."
The Judge wns lost In thought. He
permitted qn Interval of Bllenco to
elapse In which Hicks' glance slid
round In a furtive circle
"Whon did Mr. Ware sot out for
Memphis?" asked tho Judge at length.
"Early yesterday. Ho goes there
protty often on buBlnoss."
"You talked with Mr. Waro bofore
he left?" HlckB shook his head. "Did
ho spoak of Miss Malroy?" Hicks
shook his head. "Did you see her dur
lng tho afternoon?"
"No maybo you think thoso nig
gers ain't enough to koep a man Btlr-

scowl. Tho Judgo noticed both the
unoaslneea and the scowl.
"I should Imagine they would ab

HlckB," he ngrood affably.
"A man's got to bo a hog for work

not by tho mornl aspects ot the case;
he was doubtful as to how his friend's
act would 'appeal to tho Judgo. Ho
need not have beon distressed on that
score, Blnce tho Judgo's one Idea was
to prollt by it. With his hands on his
knees bo was now bonding ubovo tho
two men.
"What do you want to know,
Judge7" cried Cavendish, panting from
his cxertlonB. "111 learn this parrot
to talk up!"
"Hicks,", said tho Judge, "It Is In

up Into tho Judgo's faco and clofied

"I don't know anything about Miss

"Maybe you don't, but what do you
know about the boy?" Hicks was
fillmit, but ho was grateful for the
Judge's question. From Tom Ware he
hnd lenrned of Fentress' Interest In
tho boy. Why should he shelter tho
colonel at risk of himself? "If you
please, Mr. Cavendish!" said the
Judge, nodding toward tho knife.
"You didn't ask mo about him," said
Hicks quickly.
"I do now," said tho Judgo.
"Ho wua here yesterday."
"Mr. Cavendish" again the Judge
glanced toward tho knife.
"Walt!" cried Hicks. "Tou go to

"Lot him up, Mr. Cavendish; that'

CHAPTER XXIV.
Colonrl FefctresB.
Tho Judgo hrtd u'. forgotten his

ho moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with Mahaffy, Cavendish and Yancy
trailing In his wako, memorleB ot what
hud once been living and vital crowd
ed In upon him. Some sense of the
wreck that littered the long years, and
the shame of the open shamo that had
swept awuy pride and self-respect
came back to him out of the past.
Ho only paused when he stood on
the portico beforo Fentress" open

wide holds, bounded by tho distant
timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms,
at the great log barns In the hollow to
his right; at tho huddlo ot white
washed cabins beyond; then with hla
big fist ho reached In and pounded on
tho door. Tho blows echoed loudly
through tho silent house, and an in
stant later Fentress' tall, spare figure
waB peon advancing from the far end
ot the hall.
"Who Is it?" ho asked.
"Judge Price Colonel Fentress,"
said the Judgo.
"Judge Price," uncertainly, and still
advancing.
"I hnd flattered myself that you
must havo heard ot me," said the
Judgo.
"I think I have," said Fentross,
pausing now.
"Ho thinks ho has!" muttered the
Judge under his broath.
"Will you come In?" it wan moro a
question than an Invitation.
"If you aro nt llborty." Tho colonel
bowed. "Allow mo," tho Judgo con

MUST BEGIN PLANNING EARLY
The City Beautiful Is n Mattor of
Wise Thought Extending for
M.inv Veara.
In tho awakening to tho imporatlvo
heed of a different and hotter method
of city making America Is following
tho precedent of other nations. Con
tinental European cities decades ago,
and English and South American cit
ies moro recently, changed radically
their municipal regulations nnd t,hclr
methods of building cities. Tho splen
did results of their activity nro now
apparent to every citizen and visitor.
In tho cities of Germany especially
tho results are large and convincing.
Transportation and highway systems,
wator fronts, harbors and docks, In
dustrial nnd commercial development,
public recreation, better home3, par
ticularly for families of small means
such great municipal subjects as
these havo beon handled with skill
and experience supported by law and
public authority.
Thero aro many misconceptions cur
rent about town and city planning, but
none 1b further from the fact than tho
notion that comprehensive plans aro
only for large cities. Tho reverse Ib
nearer tho truth. In big cities tho
conditions aro comparatively fixed
and unyielding. Comprehenslvo plan
ning, especially with our present lim
ited city charters and the hampering
laws of our states, can have only nar
rowly limited influence in larger
places relieving only tho worst civic
conditlone, ameliorating merely tho
most acute forms of congestion, cor
recting but tho gravest mistakes of
tho past. Wldo, many-sided, Imagina
tive planning, so far as large Ameri
can cities are concerned, must be con
fined for the present mainly to the ex
tension of tliqno cities and to tho bet
terment of what aro really soparato
communities on the outskirts.
But with small cities with a popula
tion ranging from 2,500 to 100,000, tho
case is different. Comprehenslvo plan
ning or replannlng may be to them of
far-reaching and permanent service.
Thero is scarcely unythlng in the
lmaller places that may not bo
changed. In small cities, for example,
railroad approaches may be set right,
grade crossings eliminated, water
frontB redeemed for commerco or rec
reation or both, open spaces acquired
even in built-up sections.
A satisfactory street plan can be
carried out and adequate highways
established; public buildings can be
grouped In at least an orderly way,
and a park systom, mado up of well
distributed and well balanced public
grounds, can be outlined for gradual
and systematic development. All of
theso civic elements, Indispensable
sooner or later to a progressive com
munity, may bo had In the small city
with relative easo and at slight cost.
INFLUENCE OF TROLLEY CARS
Have In Large Measure Annihilated
Distance and Made Comfortable
Living Easier.
In days of old cltlo3 were developed
somewhat compactly, for business was
transacted In tho lmmediato presence
of tho prlnclpnls. Then camo In the
telephone, making possible easy and
quick communication between distant
points. This Influence alono tended
to tho spread of city areas so far as
business districts were concerned, but
it has remained tor tho trolley car to
practically annihilate distance so far
as residence Is concerned. This has
resulted In figuratively bringing tho
country Into tho city, for one may
como to tho center of Los Angeles
from many points without the munici
pal boundaries as quickly as ho may
reach tho same point from some parts
of the city proper. One may oven
come as quickly from Santa Ana or
many of the beaches. Thus has the
trolley car made a great change in
the growth of the land, both In city
and country. Los Angeles Times.
Sand for Children's Playgrounds.
The writer would much llko to see
towiiB, villages and the smallor cen
ters of population furnish cand-plles
for tho children. A few loads of band
would cost but llttlo and mean much
to a considerable number ot children.
Tho local schoolyard might oaclly bo
used for vacation playing and the
sand piles built thero. Tho school
trustees would oven be Justified In
furnishing the sand from tho general
fund. It Is tho duty of public ofll
clals to see that tho children get all
tho freedom and enjoyment possible
nnd the freo rnngo of tho school
grounds, together with an ample pllo
of sand, will do much for tho little
ones.
Proportionate Park Areas.
Tho city of London has reserved a
llttlo moro than 10 per cent, ot Its
nroa for park purposes, or 7.544 acres
out of a total of 71,000 acres contain
ed In tho county. These figures do
not Include a number of parks within
pnsy reach of tho motropolls, some of
them very largo In size. Richmond
contains 2.4G9 acres and Epplng For
est 5, 552 acres, nnd both nre immedi
ately, contiguous to the clty,maklng a
toUlof moro than 15,000 acres ro
Bervod for tho pleasuro of London's
millions. Few Important cities aro
so well provided with public parks.
Spoiling Children.
Llttlo children give their mother
tho headache; , but If she lets thqm
havo their own way, when they grow
up to be great children they will glvo
her tho heartache. Fondness spoils
many, and letting llttlo faulta alono
spoils more. Gardens that are nover
weeded will grow very llttlo worth
gathering. All watering and no hoe
ing will mnko n very bad crop. A
child may have too much of Its moth
er's lovo and In the long run It mny
turn out that it had too little. C. II
