BOSTON CHILD KEPT DIGNITY
Matron Meant to Be Kindly, But
Youngster Was Not Convera
tlonally Inclined.
Thla story has been golnrj tho
rounds of Doston about tho ten-year-old
eon of Director Hussell of tho
Boston opera houso.
Ono evening during nn entr'acto at
tho opera houso Master Itussell was
promenading alono In tho foyer, In
faultless evening dress a very ulass
of fashion. 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.

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

"Mr. Slierlff!" he called ehnrply.
"All right, colonol!"
"Tako your man into custody." or
dered Fentress. As he spoko ho hand,

looked at It. grinned, and stepped to

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

but we ure going to keep him here to

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.

A novol doscrlptlou of an optimist
was given recently by n cougrossmau
who hart Biifferod an onslaught of

thoso nenrest him. "On yours and

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

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

occulon to call at the tavern, and tin
hostile nature of his visit was em

his approach, he was greatly shocked
to discover that his intended victim
had sold his business overnight lor a
small lump sum to Mr Saul's brother-in-law,
who had appeared most op
portunely with an offer
Pegloo's flight created something of
a sensation, but It was dwarfed by
tho sensation that developed a day or
so lator when it beenmo known that
Tom Waro nnd Colonel Fentress had
llkewtbe lied tho country. 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.

bring himself to bu buptutiledy and as

Got Even With Critic.
Tho Abblo d'Aublgnnc, who wroto
admirably on dramatic composition,
nnd hnd Instanced many living exam

so imprudent, after thirty years' si
lence, ns to wrlto a tragedy himself.
In tho preface he boasted that ho. of
all dramatists, had "most scrupulous
ly obticrved tho uile of Aristotle,
whoso Inspiration ho bad followed!"
To this It wus replied by ono who hnd
suffered from Ms criticism: "I do not
quarrel with tho Abbo d'Aublgnac Tor
having followed tho procepts ot Aris

ot Aristotle that caused tho abbe to

Why He Wept.
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
