Murroll quickly gained a pluco nt hf-r Rldo. ,"I huppobo Kerrln 1h nt tho llnrony?" he nald, drawing his homo down to n walk. "I hcllcvo ho Is," nald Dotty with a curt llttlo air. , "May I rldo with you?" he gnvo her a HWlft glance. Sho nodded indif ferently nnd would hnvo urged hor borne Into n gallop ngaln, but ho rnado gcHturo or protest. "Don't or 1 rihall think you nro Rtlll running away ifrom mo," ho sold with n Hliort laugh. "Were you nt tho trial?" nho nBkcd. MI am glad they didn't got Hannibal away from Ynncy." "Oh, Yancy will bavo bin bnnds full with that Inter so will Hlndon," ho added, Hlgnlllcantly. Ho atudlod hor out of thoso deeply Bunkcn eyos of his In which no shndow of youth lin gered, for men such as ho reached their prime early, and It was a swift 'ly passing splendor. "Ferris tolls mo ;you aro going to west TcnnoBBoo?" be said at length. "Yes." "I know your hnlf-brothor, Tom (Ware I know blm very well." "Bo you know Tom?" Hho observed, and frowned slightly. Tom was her guardian, nnd her memories of blm jwero not satlsrnctory. A burly, tin shaven man with a quoer streak ot BJoannoBs through his character. "You've spent much or your time op north?" suggested Murroll. "Four years. I've boon nt school, you know. That's wboro I mot Judith Jfcrris." "I hopo you'll llko wont Tennossoo. It's still a bit raw compared with what you'vo been accustomed to In tho north. You haven't boon bnck in all thoso four years?" Dotty shook hor head. "Nor seen Tom nor any ono rrom out yondor?" For boiho roa son a llttlo tlngo of color had crept Into llotty's cheeks. "Will you lot mo renew our ncqunlntanco nt Hello Plain? I shall bo In went TonncHsco boforo tho summer Is over; piobnbly I Bhall lonvo hero within a week," ho aid, bonding toward her. UIh glanco dwelt on hor faco and on tho pliant linos of her flguro, and his bouros warn. "I Imaglno you will bo wolcomo nt Holla Plain. You nro Tom's friend." Murrell bit his Up, nnd then laughed s bis mind conjured up a plcturo of the cherished Tom. Suddenly he reachod out and rested his hand on hers. "Dotty if I might thtW " ho bo Kan, but his touguo HtuWbled. ills love-making was uRtially of a savaga aort, but some quality In tho girl held him In check. Hetty drow away from him, nn angry color on hor chocks and an angry light In her eyes. "For give me, Hetty!" murmured Murroll, hut his heart bent ngalnBt his ribs, and passion sent Its surges througn him. "Don't you know whnt I'm try ing to tell you?" ho whispered. Hotty gathered up hor reins. "Not yet" ho cried, nnd ngntn ho rested a heavy hand on hers. "Let mo go lot mo go!" cried Hot ty indignantly. "No not yot!" Ho urged his horso till noaror and gnthorod hor closo. "You'vo got to hear me. 1'vo loved you elnco tho ilret moment I rested iny eyes on you and, by Uod, you ball love mo In return!" He relt her struggle to freo horsolf from his grasp with a senBO of snvago triumph. Druce Carrlngton, on bis wny back to Fayettovlllo from tho Forks, camo about a turn In tho rond. Hotty saw a tall, handsome follow In tho first flush ot manhood; Carrlngton, nn angry girl struggling In a mnn's grasp. At sight or the new-comer, Murrell, with an oath, released Hetty, who, striking bor horse with tho whip, gal loped down the road toward tho tlarony. As she fled past Carrlngton She bent Idw In her saddle. "Don't lot him follow me!" she gasped, and Carrlngton, striding for ward, caught Murroll'a horse by the fclt. "Let go!" roarod Murrell, and a Murderous light shot rrom his eyes. "I doa't know but 1 should pull you t Jli Y' J Corroittf flu, TttCeet) Mi 001 it Coir H I "I Don't Know but What I Should Pull You Out of That 8addle and Twist Your Neck." out or that saddle and twist your neck!" said Carrlngton botly. Mur rell's faco undorwent a swtrt change. "You're a bold follow to force your wny Into a lovor's quarrel," ho said quietly. Carrington'a arm dropped at his sldo. Perhaps, after all, it was that. CHAPTER VI. Betty 8ets Out for Tennessee. Hruco's llrst momorleB had to do with long nights when ho perched bo aide his father on tho cabin roof ot their keel-boat nnd watched tho stars or the blurred lino of tho shore whero it lny against tho Bky, or tho lights on other bnrgoB and rafts drifting us they woro drifting, with tholr whoat and corn nnd whisky, to that com mon market at tho rlvor's mouth. llruco Carrlngton hnd scon tho day of bnrgo nnd raft rench Its zonlth, had hoard tho first steam packet's shrieking wblstlo, which sounded the death-knell ot tho ancient order, though tho shirting or tho trade was a alow matter and tho glory ot the old1 did not pass ovor to tho now at once, but lingered still in mighty fleets ot rnfts and keel-boats and In tho Ho meric carousals of some ten thousand or tho bulf-borse, half-alllgntor breed that nightly gathered in New Orleans. After tho reuding ot tho warrant that morning, Chnrloy Unlaam had shown Carrlngton tho road to the Forks, assuring blm when tboy sep arated that with a little care and decent ubo or his eyes it would be posRtblo to fetch up there nnd not lines plumb through tho settlement without knowing whoro bo was. Ho waa on his way to Fnyettovillo, whero ho Intended to spend tho night, nnd perhaps a day or two in looking around, when tho mooting with Hotty nnd Murroll occurred. Tho glrl'B face remained .with him. It was a faco ho would llko to boo again. Ho was still thinking- of tho girl when ho ato, his suppor that night at Clcggett's Tavern. Lutor, in the bar, ho engnged his host in ldlo gossip. He hnd met n gentleman nnd a lady on tho rond that day! ho wondered, ua be toyod with his glass, It it could have boon tho Ferrises? Mounted? Yes, mounted. Then It was Forris nnd his wlfo or It might have boon Captain Murrell and Miss Malroy. MIhb Malroy did not llvo lu that part ot tho country; shn wns a friend of Mrs. ForrlB1, belonged In Kentucky or TonnesHco, or somewhere out yonder at any rnto nho was bringing her visit to nn end, for Ferris had In structed him to resorvo a place for her in tho north-bound stngo on the morrow. Carrlngton suddenly remembered thnt he had thought ot starting north In tho morning blmsolf. Tho Btago left nt six, and as Car rlngton climbed to his Boat the noxt morning Mr. Cleggett was advising tho driver to look sharp whon he camo to tho Harony road, as ho was to pick up n party thoro. It was Car rlngton who looked hharp, and almost at the spot whero he had seen Miss THE PRODIGAL JUDGE By AUOHAW KESTEI lUVSTHATOHS BYD.MELVIU Malroy the day before be saw her again, with Ferris and Judith and a pile or luggago bestowed by the way side. Hetty did not observe him as the coach stopped, for Bho was In tent on hor farewells with her friends. There were hasty words of advlco from Ferris, prolonged good-byB to Judith, toars kisses while a place was being made for hor many boxes and trunks. Carrlngton gathered that she was going north to Washington; that her final destination was some point either on tho Ohio or Missis sippi, and that her name was Hetty. Then' tho door slammed and the Btago was In motion again. All through tho morning they swung forward In tho bent and dust and glare, and at midday rattled Into the shaded main streot ot n sleepy village and drow up boforo tho tavern whore dinner was waiting them. Hetty saw Currlngton whon sho took her Beat, and gavo a scarcely porcoptlblo start of surprise. Then her faco was flooded with a rich col or. This was the man wbo saw her with Captain Murrell yesterday! Thoro was a brief moment of Irreso lution and then she bowed coldly. It was four days to Richmond. Four days of hot, dusty travel, four nights of uncomfortablo cross-road stations, whore Hotty suffered sleepless nights nnd tho unaccustomed pangs of early rising. She occasionally found her self wondering who Carrlngton was. Sho approved of the manner In which ho conducted blmsolf. Bho liked a man who could bo unobtrusive. Tho noxt morning bo found himself seated opposite her nt breakfast. He received another curt little nod, cool and distant, as ho took his seat. "You stop In Washington?" said Cnrrlngton. Hetty shook hor head. "No, 1 am going on to Wheeling." "You're fortunate In being so near ly home," ho observed. "I'm going on to Memphis." Hotty exclaimed: "Why, I am go ing to Memphis, too!" "Aro you? Hy canal to Cumber land, and then by stage over the Na tional Itbad to Whoollng?" Hotty nodded. "It makes ono wish they'd finish tholr railroads, doesn't it? Do you Bupposo they'll ever get as far wob as Memphis?" Bho said. "Thoy say It's going to be bad for the river trado whon thoy'ro built on something besides paper," answered Carrlngton. "And I happen to bo a flatboatman, Miss Malroy." No more was said Just then, for Dotty became reserved nnd did not at tempt to resume tbe conversation. A day lator tboy rumbled into Washing ton, and as Hetty descended from the coach Carrlngton stepped to hor side. "I suppose you'll stop hero, Miss Mnlroy," ho Bald, Indicating tho tav ern betoro which tho stage had come to a stand. "Yes," Bald Dotty briotiy. "If 1 can bo of any service io you he began, with Just a touch of awk wardness In his manner. "No, I thank you, Mr. Carrlngton," said Hotty quickly. "Good night ., . . good-by." He turned away, and Hetty saw his tall form disappear In tho twilight. A month and moro had elapsed since Hob Ynncy's trial. Just two days Inter man and boy disappeared from Scratch Hill. Murrell was soon on their trail and pressing forward in hot pursuit. Reaching the moun tains, ho heard of them llrst as tea days ahead ot blm and bound for west Tennessee; tho ten days dwin dled to a week, the week became Ave days, the five days three; and now as he emerged from tbe Inst range ot hills bo caught sight ot them. Yancy glanced back at tbe blue wall of tho mountains whero It lay along tho horizon. "Well, Nevvy," ho said, "we've put a heap of distance between us and old Scratch Hill." For tbe past ten days their Journey had been conducted in a leisurely fashion. As Ynncy said, they wore seeing tho world, and It was well to tako n good look at it whilo they bad a chance. Suddonly out of the sllcnco came the regular beat of hoofs. These grew nearer and nearer, and at last when they were quite close, Yancy faced about. Smilingly Murrell reined In his horse. "Why Hob Ynncy!" be cried In apparent astonishment. "Yes, sir Rob Yancy. Does It hap pen you are looking fo' blm, Cap tain?" inquired Yancy. "No no, Hob. I'm on my way weBt." Murrell slipped from his saddle and fell Into stop at Yancy's side ns they moved forward. "They were mightily stirred up at the Cross Roads when I left, wonder ing what had come of you," he ob served. "That's kind of them," responded Yancy, a little dryly. There was no reason for it, but be was becoming distrustful of Murroll, and uneasy. They went forward In silence. A sudden turn In tbe road brought them to tbe edge of an extensive clearing. Close to tbe road there were several buildings, but not a tree bad been spared to shelter them and they stood forth starkly, the completing touch to a civilization tbat was still in Its youth, unkompt, rather savage, and ruthlessly utilitarian. A sign an nounced tho dingy structure of logs nearest the roadside a tavern. From tho door of the tavern the figure ot a man emerged. Ho waa black-haired and bull-necked, and thero was about him a certain shag glncBs which a recent toilet performed at the horse trough bad not served to mitigate. "Howdy?" ho drawled. "Howdy?" responded Mr. Yancy. "Shall you stop here?" asked Mur roll, sinking his voice. Yancy nodded. "Can you put us up?" Inquired Mur rell, turning to the tavern-keeper. "I reckon that's what I'm horo for," said Slosson. Murrell glanced about tbo empty yard. "Slack," observed Slosson languidly. "Yes, sir, slack's the only name for It." It was under stood ho referred to tbe state of trade. He looked from ono to tbe other ot the two men. As his eyes rested on Murrell, that gentleman raised the first three fingers ot bis right hand. Tbe gesture was ever so little, yet it seemed to have a tonic effect on Mr. Slosson. What might bave developed Into a smile had be not Immediately suppressed It, twisted his bearded lips as he made an answering move ment. "Epb, come here, you!" Slos son raised his voice. This call brought a halt-grown black boy from about a corner of the tavern, to whom Murrell relinquished hla horse. "Let's liquor," Bald the captain over bis shoulder, moving off In the direc tion ot the bar. "Come on, Nevvy!" said Yancy fol lowing, and they all entered the tav ern. "Well, hero's to the best or good luck!" aald Murrell. aa he raised his glass to hlB lips. "Same here," responded Yancy. Murrell pullod out a roll or bills, one of which be tossed on the bar. Then after a moment's hesitation he de tached a second bill from the roll and turned to Hannibal. "Here, youngster a present for you," be said good-naturedly. Hanni bal, embarrassed by the unexpected gift, edged to his Uncle Dob's side. "Thank you, sir," aald the boy. "Let's bave another drink," sug gested Murrell. Presently Hannibal stole out Into tbe yard. He still held the bill In hla hand, for be did not quite know how to dispose ot hla great wealth. After debating this matter for a moment he knotted It carefully In one earner of bis handkerchief. (TO BE CONTZNVED.)

Women nro beginning to realize moro fully that good health is not to bo found in the use of cosmetics and faco powders. Tho nppearanco of health may follow facial treatment, but health Itself lies much deeper than the surfucc. Most important to tho health of ev ery woman Is regularity of the bowels nntl digestive organs. Tho weary ejes, bad breath, frequent headaches, pimples and general air of lassitude, is in most ctery caso duo to consti pation or Indigestion, or both. Thero nro various remedies prescribed for this condition, but tho easiest, most pleasant nnd certainly effective, is n combination of simplo laxative herbB with pepsin known to druggists as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This simplo remedy is far preferable to harsh salts and cathartics and violent purgative waters that disturb tho whole system without affording more than temporary relief. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is n tonic laxative, mild in its action, pleasant to the tnsto nnd positive in Its effect, strengthening tho muscles of stomach nnd bowels so that nfter a short tlmo these organs regain tho power to perform their natural func tions without assistance. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold by druggists everywhere In 50c nnd 91.00 bottles. If you havo never tried it, wrlto for a eamplo to Dr. W. D. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Monti cello, 111.; he will gladly send a trial bottle without any expenso to you whatever. . .. Story of a Bible. A case that had to do with the theft of a Bible was before tho grand Jury some time ago and after it had been disposed of, George V. Selbert, fore man of the Jury, related a story in which a Dible figured prominently. Mr. Selbert said that his mother had giv en blm an old-fashioned family Bible when he married. About two yenrs nfter his marriage Mr. Solbert needed money, he said, and had almost de cided to dispose of the Bible. When such thoughts wero occupying his mind, Mr. Selbert picked up the Bible one day and began turning over the leaves of the book. He had passed over'several pages when his eyes fell on two (50 bills. His mother had placed them in tho Dible when she had presented the book to him. Mr. Selbert still has the Dible.
