A Boston matron, scoing that ho was lonely, began to malm horsolf "agreeable." "You aro Director Russell's llttlo boy, aren't you?" ulio asked, with patronizing sweotness. Master Russell resented UiIb lntru Blon on his dignity, hut his courtly manors were u'nruflled. ''Yes, mad am," ho roplled, with an elaborate bow. "Whoro were you born?" "In Franco, madam" Slightly more frigid. "What part?" continued tho lady, feeling tho conversation well started. "All of mo. madam." And ho bowed and walkod away. Judge. ALREADY LAUGHABLE. Austin Ah!

CHAPTER XXXIII (Continued.) "What does this ridiculous mockery mean?" ho demanded harshly. "Mr. Sheriff, as a member of the bar, 1 protest! Why don't you clear tho building?" Ho did not wait for Uotts to unBwer him, but continued. "Whoro is this man Hues?" "Yonder, colonel, by tho captain," said Uctta. "I havo a warrant for tils arrest. You will tako him Into custody." "Walt!" cried tho Judgo. "1 repre sent Mr. Hues. I desire to seo that warrant!" Hut Fentress Ignored him. Ho ad dressed tho crowded benches. "Gentlemen, It Is a serious matter forcibly to seizo a man without nuthor lty from tho courts nnd expoBo Mm to tho dangor of mob violence Mr. Huos will learn this beforo wo liave dono with him." Instantly thoro was n noisy demon stration that swolled Into a burst ot applause, which uulckly spent Itsoir. The struggle seamed to havo nar rowed to an lndlvldunl contest for Miipitunacy between Kentross and tho Judge. On the edge of the ralled-oll spaco thoy confronted ench other: the colonol, a tall, wollcnrod for pres ence; tho Judge, shabby and unkempt. For a moment tholr eyes met, whllo tho Judgo's faco purpled und paled, and purpled again. Tho silenco dcop encd. Fontresa' thin lips opened, twltchod, hut no sound came irom Ihem; then his glunco wavered ana ten. Ho turned away. "Mr. Slierlff!" he called ehnrply. "All right, colonol!" "Tako your man into custody." or dered Fentress. As he spoko ho hand, ed the warrant toward lletts, who looked at It. grinned, and stepped to ward Huos, Ho would havo pushed tho Judgo asldo had not that gentle man, bowing civilly, mado way lor Mm.

Colonel Fen tress comes hore with that high sanc tion." Ho bowed again ceremoniously to tho colonel. "I repeat, I respect his dependence upon tho law!" He whirled suddenly, "Cavendish Ynncy Car rlngton I call upon you to arrest John Murrell! 1 do thla by virtue of tho authority vested In me as n Judgo of the United States federal court. His crime a mero trifle, my friends passing counterfeit money! Colonel Fentress will Inform you that this Is n violation of the law which tails within my Jurisdiction," und ho beamed blandly on Fentress. "It's a lie!" cried tho colonol. "You'll nnswor for that later!" said the Judge, with abrupt austerity of tono. "For nil we know you may be some fugitive from Justico! Why, your name isn't Price!" "Aro you suro of that?" asked tho Judgo quickly. "You'ro an Impostor! Your namo is Turbervillo!" "Permit mo to relieve your appre hensions It Is Turbervillo who has received the appointment. Would you like to exnmlne my credentials? I have them by me no? I am obliged for your Introduction. It could not havo come at a moro timely moment." The Judgo seemed to dismiss Fentress contemptuously. Onco moro ho faced the packed benches. "Put down your weapons!" ho commanded. "This man Murrell will not bo roleuaed. At the first effort at rescuo he will ho shDt whero ho sits wo hnvo sworn It his plotting is at an end." Ho stnlked nearer tho benches. "Not one chance In a thousand remains to him. Elthor ho dlos ho.ro or ho lives to bo tnken before every Judgo, In tho state, li. necessary, until wo ilnd ono with cour ngo to try him! Make no mistake It will best conscrvo tho ends of Jub tlco to allow tho state court's Juris diction In this case; nnd I plcdgo my self to furnish evldenco which will start him well on his rond to the gal lows!" The Judgo, a tremendous pres ence, stalked still nearer tho benches. Outfacing the crowd, a sense of tho splendor of tho part ho was being cnlled upon to play flowed through him like some elixir; he felt that he was transcending hlmaelf, that his In spiration was drawn from the hidden springs of the spirit, and that ho could neither falter nor go astray. "You don't know what you aro med dling with! This man has plotted to lay tho south In ruins bo hns been arming tho negroes It Is lncredlblo that you should all know this to such I say, go homo and thank God for your oscapo! For tho others" his shaggy brows met In a menacing frown "If they force our hand we will toss them John Murrell's dead carcass that's our answer to their challenge!" Ho strode out among tho gun muz zles which wavered whoro they still covered him. Ho was thinking or Ma haffy Mahaffy, who had said ho was still a man to bo reckoned with. "Do you know what a servllo insur rection menns? you mon who havo wives and daughtors, havo you thought or their fate? or tho mon strous savngery to which thoy would bo exposed? Do you bellovo ho could limit and control It? Look nt hlra! Why, ho hns never had a considera tion outsldo or his own safety, nnd yet ho oxpects you to risk your necks to suvo his! Ilo would havo left tho state before the 111 at blow was struck his business wns all down river but we ure going to keep him here to nnswer for his crimes! Tho Inw, ns Implacable ns It Is Impartial, has put Its mark on him tho shadow in which he sits Is tho shadow of tho gallows!" Tho Judge paused, but tho only sound In that expectant silence was tho heavy breathing or men. Ho drew his uuMloldly form erect, whllo tils volco rumbled on, ngsfcsslvo and threatening in Its every Intonation. "You aro hero to defend something that no longer o.lsta Your organ ization Is wrecked, your signals and piiHNWOidtt are !non, jour secrctx havo become public property 1 can even produco a list of your members; thoro nro nono or you v. ho do not stand In imminent peril yet under stand, I havo no wish to strlko nt iiiuso wuo navo neen misiod or I coorcod into Joining Murrell's band! ! m .. me juugo s sodden old fnco glowed 1 now with tho magnanimity or his son- - last night, and I'vo como over to seo what ou proposo to do about It."

Los Angeles ICxproHB. Legislative Optimist. A novol doscrlptlou of an optimist was given recently by n cougrossmau who hart Biifferod an onslaught of popular proteat In "appeals" from his district Ha Instated that an optim ist was a man who could make "nice, sweat, pink lemonade out of tba yel low, sour ihluga called 'lemons' that have ben bunded hln."

He hwuiik round his ponderous nrm In a sweep ing gesture and shook a fat but ex pressive foro-llnger In tho laces of thoso nenrest him. "On yours and yours and yours!" Across tho spaco that separated them tho Judge grinned his triumph nt his enemy He had known when Fontresa entered tho room that a word or rt sign from him would pre clpltnto a riot, but ho know now that neither this word nor thl3 sign would be given Then quite suddenly ho strode down tho nlsle, and foot by loot Fentress yielded ground beroro his advance. A murderous light Hashed from tho Judgo's bloodshot eyes and his right hand wns stealing toward tho frayed tails of his coat. "Look out he's getting ready to shoot!" cried a frightened voice. Instantly by doors and windows tno crowd, seized with Inexplicable panic, emptied Itself Into tho court-house yard. Fentress was caught up In the rush nnd borno from tho room nnd from tho building. When ho reached the graveled space below tho Bteps ho turned. Tho Judge was In the door way, tho center of a struggling group; Mr. Uowen, tho minister, Mr. Saul and Mr. Wesley wero vainly seeking to pinion his arm "Draw damn you!" ho roared at Fentress, as he wrenched himself free, nnd tho crowd swayed to right and Iclt as Fentress was seen to reach lor his pistol. Mr. Saul made a last frantic effort to restrain his Irlcnd; he seized the Judge's arm Just as tho latter's anger pressed the trigger, and an Instant later Fentress staggered back with the judge's bullet in his shoulder. CHAPTER XXXIV. Good Times Coming. It wns not strango that a number of gentlemen In and about Raleigh yield ed to an overmastering Impulse to vis it newer lands, nor was It strange that the Initial steps looking toward tho Indulgence of their desires should hnvo been taken In secrecy. Mr. Peg lou v,ns one of the first to Icavo; Mr. Saul had Informed him of tho Judgo's declared purpose of shooting blm on sight. Even without this useful hint "Draw, Damn Youl" tho tavorn-koopcr had known th.it he should experience Inleiiao embarrass ment In meeting tho Judgo; this was now a drenry certainty. "You rockon ho moans near all he says?" ho had asked, his fat sides blinking. "I'd tako Ms word a heap quicker than I would most folks'," answered Mr. Saul with conviction, Pegloo promptly had a sinking spell. Ilo recalled tho snultlng or the can dles by tho Judgo, nn oxtromoly de pressing memory undor the clicum stances; nlso tho reckless and head long disregard or consequences which had characterized so many or that gentleman's acts, nnd his plnns shaped thomsolves accordingly, with suggested, Hint somo of tho swootest things In life owo much ot their at tractiveness to tho subacid, aromatic Inlluonco of this samo sour "lemon" which is so frequently "handed" po litical lenders? Tho Joke wnB ropoated In tho pres ence of an nttacho of a foreign dele gation, who thought It so good that ho wanted to pass It on, but he fnlled to catch tho full significance of the plunso 'handed a lemon," bo ho changed the expression to "mnklng nico, sweet, pink lemonndo out of yel low nddled eggs thrown ut him, you know," nnd when thoro was a smllo ho retorted hastily: "Oh perhaps I've got the yellow egg3 broko?"

Still later, Fentress' body, showing marks ol vio lence, was wnshed ashoro at n wood yard below Ulrard It wns conjec tured that ho and Waro had set out from Tho Oaks to cross the river; there was reason to believe that Fen tress had In his possession at tho tlmo a considerable sum ot money, nnd It wns supposed that his com panion had murdered and robbed him. Of Ware's subsequent career nothing was over known. These were, after all, only opisodeo In tho collapse of the Clan, sporltlr manifestations of tho grent work of disintegration that was going forward and which the Judge, more thnn nny othor, perhaps, had brought about. This was something no ono ques tioned, and he quickly passed to tho first phase of that unlquo and peculiar esteem In which he wus ever after held. His famo widened with the suc ceeding suns; ho had offers or help which Impressed him as so entirely creditable to human nature that ho quite lacked the heart to refuse them, especially ns he rclt that In tho Im provement of his own condition tbo world had bettered itself nnd was moving nearer those sound and right eous Ideals of morality and patriotism which had never lacked his Indorse ment, no matter how inexpedient It had seemed for him to put them Into practice Out ho was not diverted from his ultlmnto purpose by the glamour of a present popularity; he was able to keep his bleared eyes resolutely fixed on the main chance, namely tho Fentress estate and tho Qulntard lands. It waa highly Im portant that he should go east to South Carolina to secure documentary evidence that would establish Mb own and Fentress' Identity; to Kentucky, where Fentress had lived prior to hta coming to Tennessee. Early In November the Judge set out by stage on his Journey east; ho was accompanied by Yancy and Han- Roared Fentress. nlbnl, Irom neither ol whom could ho bring himself to bu buptutiledy and as tho woods, flaming now with the torch ot frost, enguircd tho llttlo town, he turned lu Ms sent anil looked back.

At a reception ono night, says tho Woman's Home Companion, a loud voiced young man was invited to sing. Desultory applause followed, and he responded with a vociferous rendering of "My Old Kentucky Home." The hostess was passing among her guests, beaming at tho success of her enter tainment and sure that everybody was having a good time, when suddenly, to hor surprise, she camo upon a middle-aged man but slightly known to her, who was weeping silently but bit terly In a secluded corner. Thinking that his hoart had been touched by tho old song, she asked sympathetic ally: 'Why do you weep? Aro you a Ken tucklan?" "No, madam," ho replied. "I am a musician." Muff. Senator Borah was talking about a disgruntled political opponent. "His attitude," said tho eloquent senator, "reminds me ot a young lady nt tho seashore.
