POINTED WAY TO SALVATION

“A colored preacher stood up on a
Sunday and said, ‘My text this morn

shall 1 do to be saved?” To me there
seems only one way to be saved, and
that am to quit this'ere extravagant
living. Back to the simple life, say I.
There am going to be no chance for
you to be saved so long as you keep
up this high living. If there is any
thing that is going to kill our race it
Is these’ere luxuries. Better go hun
gry and cold like the wolf. Go out
and face the rains and fight the
storms. Go wade like the crane. You
will grow rugged and you will grow
tough, but you'll walk like a man.
Yes, sir, that am de way to salvation,
that am de way to get saved.'
“Just then a tail colored mhn, ris
Ing from his pew in the rear of the
church, interrupted the prqacher,
shouting: 'This am no way to be
saved. You just jump right through
that back window and run just as fast
as your legs will carry you, for the
county sheriff am here with a war
rant for your arrest for stealing them
chickens from Massa Martin's coop
last Friday night.’ ”—Chicago Tribune.

CHAPTER XXXII.—(Continued.)
Hannibal instantly sat erect and
looked up at the judge, his blue eyes
wide with amazement at this extraor
dinary statement.
"It is a very strange story, Hanni
bal, and its links are not all in my
hands, but I am sure because of what
I already know. I, who thought that
not a drop of my blood flowed in any
veins but my own, live again in you.
Do you understand what 1 am telling
you? You are my own dear little
grandson—” and the judge looked
down with no uncertain love and pride
into the small face upturned to his.
“I am glad if you are my grand
father, judge,” said Hannibal very
gravely. "I always liked you.”
"Thank you, dear lad,” responded
the judge with equal gravity, and then
as Hannibal nestled back in his grand
father's arms a single big tear drop
ped from the end of that gentleman's
prominent nose.
"There will be many and great
changes in store for us,” continued
the judge. “But as we met adversity
with dignity, I am sure we shall be
able to endure prosperity with equani
mity—only unworthy natures are af
reeted by what is at best superficial
and accidental. I mean that the
blight of poverty is about to be lifted
from our lives.”
“Do you mean we ain't going to be
pore any longer, grandfather?” asked
Hannibal.
The judge regarded him with In
finite tenderness of expression; be
was profoundly moved.
“Would you mind saying that again,
dear lad?”
“Do you mean we ain’t going to be
pore any longer, grandfather?" re
peated Hannibal.
“I shall enjoy an adequate compe
tency which 1 am about to recover. It
will be sufficient for the indulgence ot
those simple and Intellectual tastes J
propose to cultivate for the future."
In spite of himself the judge sighed.
This was hardly in line with his
ideals, but the right to choose was no
longer his. "You will be very rich.
Hannibal. The Quintard lands—your
grandmother was a Quintard—will be
yours; they run up into the hundred
of thousands of acres hereabout; this
land will be yours as soon as 1 can
establish your identity.”
“Will Uncle Bob be rich too?" in
quired Hannibal.
"Certainly. How can he be poor
when we possess wealth?” answered
the judge.
“You reckon he will always live
with us. don’t you, grandfather?”
“I would not have It otherwise. 1
admire Mr. Yancy—he is simple and
direct, and fit for any company under
heaven except that of fools. His treat
ment of you has placed me under
everlasting obligations; he shall share
what we have. My one bitter, un
availing regret is that Solomon Ma
haffy will not be here to partake of
our altered fortunes.” And the judge
sighed deeply.

“Uncle Bob told me Mr. Mahafty
got hurt in a duel, grandfather?” said
Hannibal.
"He was as inexperienced as a
child in the use of firearms, and he
had to deal with scoundrels who had
neither mercy nor generous feeling—
but his courage was magniticent."
Presently Hannibal w?as deep in his
account of those adventures he had
shared with Miss Betty.
“And Miss Mairoy—w'here is she
now?” asked the judge, in the first
pause of the boy’s narrative.
“She's at Mr. Bowen’s house. Mr.
Carrington and Mr. Cavendish are
here too. Mrs. Cavendish stayed
down yonder at the Bates’ plantation.
Grandfather, it were Captain Murrell
who had me stole—do you reckon he
was going to take me back to Mr.
Bladen ?”
"I will see Miss Mairoy in the
morning. We must combine—our in
terests are identical. There should
be hemp in this for more than one
scoundrel! I can see now how crim
inal my disinclination to push myself
to the front has been!" said the judge,
with conviction. “Never again will 1
shrink from what 1 know to be a pub
lic duty.”
A little later they went down-stairs,
where the judge had Yancy make up
a bed for himself and Hannibal on
the floor. He would watch alone be
side Mahaffy, he was certain this
would have been the dead man’s wish;
then be said good night and mounted
heavily to the floor above to resume
his vigil and his muslngs.
CHAPTER XXXIII.
A Crisis at the Court-House.
Just at daybreak Yancy was roused
by the pressure of a hand on his
shoulder, and opening his eyes saw
that the judge was bending over'him.
“Dress!" he said briefly. "There's
every prospect of trouble—get your
rifle and come with me!”
Yancy noted that this prospect of
trouble seemed to afford the judge a
pleasurable sensation; indeed, he had
quite lost his former air of somber
and suppressed melancholy.
“I let you sleep, thinking you need
ed the rest,” the judge went on. "But
ever since midnight we've been on the
verge of riot and possible bloodshed.
They’ve arrested John Murrell—it’s
claimed he’s planned a servile rebel
lion! A man named Hues, who had
wormed his way into his confidence,
made the arrest. He carried Murrell
into Memphis, but the local magis
trate, Intimidated, most likely, de
clined to have anything to do with
nolding him. In spite of this. Hues
managed to get his prisoner lodged In
jail, but along about nightfall the sit
uation began to look serious. Folks
were swarming into town armed to
the teeth, and Hues fetched Murrell
across country to Kaleigh—”
“Yes,” said Yancy.
“Well, the sheriff has refused to
take Murrell into custody. Hues has
him down at the court-house, but
whether or not he is going to be able
to hold him is another matter!"
Yancy and Hannibal had dressed by
this time, and the judge led the way
from the house. The Scratch Hiller
looked about him. Across the street
a group of men, the greater number of
whom were armed, stood in front of
Pegloe’s tavern. Glancing in the di
rection of the court-house, he ob
served that the square before it held
other groups. But what Impressed
him more was the ominous silence
that was everywhere. At his elbow,
the judge was breathing deep.
“We are face to face with a very
deplorable condition, Mr. Yancy.
Court was to sit here today, but Judge
Morrow and the public prosecutor
have left town, and as you see, Mur
rell’s friends have gathered for a res
cue. There’s a sprinkling of the bet
ter element—but only a sprinkling.
I saw Judge Morrow this morning at
four o’clock—I told him I would ob
ligate myself to present for his con
sideration evidence of a striking and
sensational character, evidence which
would show conclusively that Murrell
should be held to await the action of
tne next grand jury—this was after a
conference with Hues—I guaranteed
his safety. Sir, the man refused to
listen to me! He showed himself ut
terly devoid of any feeling of public
duty.” The bitter sense of failure
and futility was leaving the judge.
The situation made its demands on
that basic faith in his own powers
which remained imbedded in his char
acter.
They had entered the court-house
square. On the steps of the building
Betts was arguing loudly with Hues,
who stood in the doorway, riCe in
hand.
"Maybe you don’t know this is coun
ty property?” the sheriff was saying.
“And that you have taken unlawful
possession of it for an unlaw-ful pur
pose? I am going to open them doors
—a passel of strangers can’t keep
folks out of a building their own
money has bought and paid for!”
While he was speaking, the judge had
pushed his way through the crowd to
the foot of the steps.
“That was very nicely said, Mr.
Betts.” observed the judge. He
/// n
“Do You Mean We Ain’t Going to Be Pore Any Longer, Grandfather?”
smiled widely and sweetly. The sheN
Iff gave him a hostile glare. “Do you
know that Morrow has left town?"
the judge went on.
“I ain’t got nothin’ to do with Judge
Morrow. It’e my duty to see that
this building is ready for him when
he’s a mind to open court In It."
“You are willing to assume the re
sponsibility of throwing open these
doors?” inquired the judge affably.
"I shorely am,” said Betts. “Why,
some of these folks are our leading
people!”
The judge turned to the crowd, and
spoke in a tone of excessive civility.
“Just a word, gentlemen!—the sher
iff is right; it is your court-house and
you should not be kept out of it. No
doubt there are some of you whose
presence in this building will sooner
or later be urgently desired. We are
going to let all who wish to enter, but
I beg you to remember that there will
be five men inside whose prejudices
are all in favor of law and order."
He pushed past Hues and entered the
court-house, followed by Yancy and
Hannibal. “We’ll iet ’em in where 1
can talk to ’em,” he said almost gaily.
"Besides, they’ll come in anyhow when
they get ready, so there's no sense in
exciting them."
In the court-house, Murrell, bound
hand and foot, was seated between
Carrington and the Earl of Lambeth
in the little railed-off space below the
judge's bench. Fear and suffering had
blanched his unshaven cheeks and
given a wild light to his deeply sunk
en eyes. At. sight of Yancy a smoth
ered exclamation broke from his lips;
he had supposed this man dead these
many months!
Hues had abandoned his post, and
the crowd, suddenly grown clamorous,
stormed the narrow entrance. One of
the doors, borne from its hinges, went
down with a crash. The judge, a
fierce light hashing from his eyes,
turned to Yancy.
“No matter what happens, this fel
low Murrell is not to escape—if he
calls on his friends to rescue him he
is to be shot!”
The hall was filling with swearing,
struggling men, the floor shook be
neath their heavy tread; then they
burst into the court-room and saluted
Murrell with a great shout. But Mur
rell, bound, in rags, and silent, his
lips frozen in a wolfish grin, was a
depressing sight, and the boldest felt
something of his unrestrained lawless
ness go from him.
Less noisy now, the crowd spread
itself out among the benches or
swarmed up into the tiny gallery at
the back of the building. Man after
man bad hurried forward, intent on
passing beyond the railing, but each
had encountered the judge, formida
ble and forbidding, and had turned
aside. Gradually the many pairs of
eyes roving over the little group sun
rounding the outlaw focussed them
selves on Slocum Price. It was in un
conscious recognition of that moral
force which was his, a tribute to the
grim dignity of his unshaken courage;
what he would do seemed worth con
sidering.
ne was cnarmea to near nis name
pass In a whisper from lip to lip.
Well, it was time they knew him! He
squared his ponderous shoulder and
made a gesture commanding silence.
Battered, shabby and debauched, he
was like some old war horse who
sniffs the odor of battle that the wind
incontinently brings to his nostrils.
“Don’t let him speak!” cried a
voice, and a tumult succeeded.
Cool and indomitable the Judge
waited for it to subside. He saw that
the color was stealing back into Mur
rell's face. The outlaw was feeling
that he was a leader not overthrown;
these were his friends and followers,
his safety was their safety, too. In a
lull in the storm or sound the judge
attempted to make himself heard, but
his words were lost in the angry roar
that descended on him.
“Don’t let him speak! Kill him!
Kill him!"
A score of men sprang to their feet
and from all sides came the click ol
rifle and pistol hammers as they were
drawn to the full cock. The judge’s
fate seemed to rest on a breath. He
swung about on his heel and gave a
curt nod to Yancy and Cavendish,
who, falling back a step, tossed their
guns to their shoulders and covered
Murrell. A sudden hush grew up ouf
of the tumult; the cries, angry and
jeering, dwindled to a murmur, and a
dead pall of silence rested on the
crowded room.
The very taste or triumph was In
the judge’s month. Then came a com.
motion at the back of the building.
A ripple of comment, and Colonel
Fentress elbowed his way through the
crowd. At sight of his enemy the
judge’s face went from white to red,
while his eyes blazed; but for the mo
ment the force of his emotions left
him speechless. Here and there, aa
he advanced, Fentress recognized a
friend and bowed coolly to the right
and left.

Authors and Their Books.
At the dinner given by the Harper
people to Arnold Bennett just before
he sailed for England, a dinner which
was attended by many of the literary
lights that live in or near New York,
a discussion came up as to whether
in this day of the rapid output of lit
erature a man could live by his books.
Mr. Bennett said he was-sure that
many authors could, and he instanced
the case of a young author he knew
in London who was so hard up that
he could no* get enough cash to pay
for his dinner.
An idea struck him He visited his
publisher's and there asked for six
copies of his latest novel, which was
priced at five shillings, ordering that
the books be charged to his account.
This was done. With the volumes
under his arm he visited a second
hand book dealer in the neighbor
hood, and, as the books were perfect
ly new, he managed to sell the six
of them for ten shillings, with which
sum he had a rattling good dinner
and an evening at the theater.
‘‘Oh, yes," said Mr. Bennett, “even
the humblest author can live by his
books—if he has , published any
books.”
Child’s Burden of Care.
"You must try to be like God, son
nie,” said the kindly minister to the
worried looking child who entertained
him in the parlor while his mother, up
stairs, was preparing for company. “I
guess I must be,” the boy answered,
wrinkling his brows, “for God and me
gets blamed for about everything that
happens in this house- If it’s a big
thing, they say the Lord did it, and if
any little thing goes wrong It’s sure
to be me!”
Child Gave Life for Sister.
Louis Brown, a motherless boy of
six years, lost his life in a recent fire
at New York, because he stayed by
the side of his four-year-old sister
Helen, and shielded her from the
the smoke and flames. A fireman
searching through the burning build
ing found the two children uncon
scious and clasped in each other's
arms beneath a bed. The boy had
wrapped his jacket about the little
girl's head to protect her. She had
tucked her head down on his breast
and locked arms about his waist. Hel
en's condition is serious. The chil
dren had been forgotten-in the gen
eral scramble for safety.
The Cook’s Feat.
A woman instructor at Wellesley
college, who presides over one of the
dining tables at which sit a dozen
students, says that one day soma
curly lettuce was brought on.
A freshman looked at it. then ex
claimed:
“How clever of the cook to crimp it
(hat way! I wonder how she does
it?"—LJppincott'a.
WANTED TO FINISH THE JOB
Pride in Hi* Work, Not Tender Heart,
Was What Induced the Chauffeur
to Return.
They were going along the public
highway at a leisurely rate of forty
miles per hour, when a decrepit hen
and rooster started to do the chicken
special—cross the road.
The front and hind wheels on the
right side struck the poor, old, stiff
jointed rooster amidships, and with
one squawk he succumbed.
Immediately the man at the steer
ing wheel started to slow down and
to look about for a place to turn.
His soliciaous wife turned to her
seatmate and said:
“Isn’t that just like his tender heart?
He won’t be satisfied unless he goes
back and settles for that rooster. He
just can't bear to feel he has injured
anyone or anything."
Then louder, to her husband, she
said: "George, remember that ap
pointment. We haven’t any time to
go back for anything.”
Glancing at the clock near his feet
and at the speedometer near by, he
sighed and said:
"You're right, Jennie; but I just
know if I had turned back I could
have killed that old hen just $s easy
as 1 did the rooster.”—Judge.
RASH ON FACE FOR 2 YEARS
Sioux Falls, S. D.—“My trouble of
skin disease started merely as a rash
on my face and neck, but it grew and
kept getting worse until large scabs
would form, fester and break. This
was just on the one side of my face,
but it soon scattered to the other
side. I suffered a great deal, especial
ly at night, on account of its itching
and burning. I would scratch it and
of course that irritated it very much.
This rash was on my face for about
two years, sometimes breaking out
lots worse and forming larger sores.
It kept me from sleeping day or night
for a couple of months. My face look
ed disgraceful and I was almost
ashamed to be seen by my friends.
“A friend asked me to try Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I would
bathe my face with hot water and a
lot of Cuticura Soap, then I would put
on the Cuticura Ointment. In less
than two days’ time, the soreness and
inflammation had almost entirely dis
appeared, and in four weeks’ time you
could not see any of the rash. Now
my face is without a spot of any kind.
I also use them for my scalp and hair.
They cured me completely.” (Signed)
