CHAPTER XXXI, (Continued.)
At last bo decided to go buck to
tho Judgo; and a moment later was
hurrying down the lano In tho direc
tion of the highroad, but. Jaded as ho
was by tho effort ho had already put
for that day, tho walk to Halclgh
niado tromendous demands on htm,
and It was midnight when ho cntorcd
the Uttlo town.
It cannot bo said that ho was alto
gether surprised whon ho found their
cottago dark and apparently desert
ed. Ho had half expected this. En
tering, and not stopping to sccuro a
candlo, ho groped IiIb way upstairs to
the room on tho second floor which
he nnd tho Judgo shared.
"Price!" ho called, but this galnod
him no reBponRo, and ho cursed soft
ly undor his breath, k
He has Illy descender to tho kitch
en, lighted a candlo, and stopped Into
the adjoining room. On tho tablo was
a neat ptlo of papers, and topping tho
pile was tho president's lettor. Be
ing burdened by no falso scruples,
and thinking It might afford somo
clue to tho Jutlgo's whereabouts, Ma
haffy took It up nnd road It. Having
mastored Us contents ho Instantly
glanced In tho direction of the City
Tavorn, but It was wrapped in dark
ness. "Prlco Is drunk somowhoro," wns
hio definite) conclusion. "Hut ho'll ho
at Hoggs' tho first thing In tho morn
ingmost llltoly so Tar gono ho can
hardly stand!"
Tho letter, with Its striking nows,
made Uttlo or no Impression on htm
Just thon; It meroly furnished tho
clue ho had sought. Tho Judgo was
oft somowhoro marketing his pros
pects. Aftor a tlmo Maharfy,.went up
stairs, and, without removing his
clothes, throw himself on tho bod. Ho
was worn down to tho point of ex
haustion, yot ho could not sleep,
though tho doop sllonco warned nim
that day was not far off. What If
but ho would not lot tho thought
shapo Itself In his mind, llu had wit
nessed tho Jutlgo's skill with tho pis
tol, and he had even a certain irra
tional faith In that gontloman's dos
tiny. Ho prayod God that Fentress
might die quickly and docontly with
tho Judge's bullet through his brain.
Ovor and over In savago supplication
lin nmtlrod his prayer that Funtresa
might dlo.
Mahaffy watched for tho coming or
tho dawn, hut boforo tho darkness
lifted ho had risen fiom th bed uud
gono downstairs, whoro ho mado him
self u cup of wretched coffee. Then
ho blow out his candlo and watched
tho gray light spread. Ho was im
patient now to be off. and fully an

shadowy uncertainty of thnt October

in no mood for courtesies that meant

Thoro was an awkward pauso, then
Fentress nnd Waro spoko togother In

done as requested, tho colonel spoke
again. "You nro my witness that 1

with equanimity, not to say indiffer

Inclination of tho head signified that
ho was. "I reckon you'ro a green

"Yes," snld Mahaffy tersely.
"Well, llston: I Bhall count, ono,

Mahaffy and tho colonel stood fac

paces separating them. Mahaffy was
palo but dogged; ho eyed Fentress
unflinchingly. Quick on tho word Fen

though It woro hold down by somo In

A hush spread across tho Hold. It
was llko ono of naturo's Invisible

Into sllonco. Waro, heavy-eyed Fen

throw themselves Into tho saddlo and
galloped off. Tho Judgo midway of
tho meadow roared out n furious pro

was hearinc his friend's voice now
the volco or utter anguish, calling his
name At last painful effort brought
him to his knees. Ho saw the Judge,
clothed principally In a gaily colored
bed-qullt, hatless and shoeless, his
faco sodden and bleary from hU
night's debauch Mahaffy stood eroct
and staggered toward him, his nana
over his wound, his features draws
and livid, thon with a cry ho dropped
at his friend's feet.
"Solomon! Solomon!" And tno
Judge knelt besldo him.
"It's all right, Prlco; 1 kept your
appointment," whispered Mahaffy; a
bloody spumo was gathering on his
lips, and ho stared up at his friend
with glnflgy eyes
In very shame tho Judgo hid his
faco In his hands, whllo sobs shook
him.
"Solomon Solomon, why did you
do this?" ho criod miserably.
Tho harsh lines on tho dying man's
faco erased themselves.
"You'ro tho only friend I've Known
In twenty years of loneliness, Prlco.
I've loved you llko a brother," he
panted, with a pauso between each
word.
Again tho Judge burled his faco in
his hands,
"I know It; Solomon I know It!"
ho moaned wretchedly.
"Price, you aro still a man to be
reckoned with. There's the boy; take
your placo for his sake and keep It
you can."
"1 will by God, I will!" gasped the
Judgo. "You hear mo7 You hear me,

"You havo tho president's letter

"Yes!" cried tho Judge. "Solomon,
tho world is changing Tor us!"
"For mo most of all," murmured
Mahaffy, and. thoro was a bleak in
stant whon tho Judge's ashen counte
nance held the full pathos of ago and
failure. "Hemomber your oath, Prlco,"
gasped tho dying man. A moment of
sllonco succeoded. Mahaffy's eyes
closed, then the heavy lids slid back.
Ho looked up at tho Judgo while the
harsh lines of his sour old face soft
ened wonderfully. "KIbs mo, Price."
ho whispered, and as tho Judge bent
to touch him on the bro, tho soft
ened lines fixed themselves In death,
whllo on his lips lingered a smllo that
was neither bitter nor sneering.
CHAPTER XXXII.
The Judge's Grandson.
In that bare upper room they had
shared, tho Judge, crushed and bro
ken, watched beside tho bed on which
tho dead man lay; unconscious of the
flight of time ho sat with his head
bowed In his hands, having scarcely
altered his position slnco ho begged
thoso who carried Mahaffy up the
narrow stairs to leave him alono with
his friend.
He was living over the past. He
recalled Mb first meeting with Ma
haffy in tho Btuffy cabin of tho small
river packet from which they had
later gone ashore at Pleasantvllle; he
thanked God that It had been given
him to see beneath Solomon's forbid
ding exterior and Into that starved
heart! Ho reviewed each phase or
tho almost Insensible growth of their
Intimacy; ho remembered Mahaffy's
flno truo loyalty at tho time of his ar
rest ho thought of Damon and
Pythias Mahaffy had reached the
heights of a subllmo devotion; he
could only fcol ennobled that ho had
Inspired it.
At last thoduskor twilight In
vaded the room. Ho lighted tho can
dles on tho chlmneypieco, then ho re
sumed his scat and his former attl
tudo. Suddenly he became awaro of
n small hand thnt was rcstlpg on his
arm and glanced up; Hannibal had
stolen quietly Into tho room. Tho
boy pointed to tho still figuro on tho
bod.
"Judge, what makes Mr. Mahaffy lie
so quiet Is ho doad?" ho asked In a
whisper.
"Yes, dear lad," began tho Judgo In
a shaking voice, as he drew Hannibal
toward him, "your frlond and mlno Is
dead wo havo lost him." He lifted
tho boy Into his lap, and Hannibal
pressed a tear-3talned faco against
tho Judgo's shoulder. "How did you
get hero?" tho Judgo questioned gent
ly. "Undo I3ob fetched me," said Han
nibal. "He's down-stairs, but ho
didn't toll mo Mr. Manaffy was dean."
"Wo havo sustained a great loss,
Hannibal, and wo must never forget
tho moral grnndour of tho man. Som
day, whon you aro older, and I can
bring myself to speak of it, I will toll
you of his last moments." Tho Judge's
volco hroko, a thick sob roso choking
ly In his throat. "Poor Solomon! A
man of such tender'feollng that ho hid
It from tho world, for his was a rare
nnturo which only revealed Itself to
the chosen few ho honored with tils
love." Tho Judgo lapsed Into a mo
mentary brooding silence. In which
his great arms drow tho boy closer
ngalnst his heart. "Dear lad, slnco 1
left you nt Hello Plain n very aston
lulling knowlcdgo has come to me.
It was tho Hand of Providence I seo
it now that first brought us togeth

Talk tho Fountain of Life.
A w ell-Known doctor has recently
propounded rather a curious theory.
Ho says:
"Actresses and nctors and all pub

their lungs. Tho averago person
doesn't breatho proporly and does not

Breathe as much as you can and talli

rcclpo for reaching an old ago and re

Somo ono whispered: "Now I seo
why women generally live longer
than men. Thoy talk moro."

asked Mr. Smathers, tentatively,
"No," Indeed," answered Mrs. Smath
