"What do you know of tho Hnrony, Hannibal?" "I lived at the Uarony once, until lUncle Dob took me to Scratch Hill to be with him," said Hannlbnl. "You you lived at tho Uarony 7" repeated tho Judge, nnd a dull wonder struck through his tono. "How long ago when?" he continued. "I don't know how long It were, but until Uncle Hob carried me away after the old general died." The Judgo slipped a1 hand under the child's chin and tilted his face back so that he might look Into It. For a long moment be studied cloBely those small features, then with a shako of the head he banded the rllto to Car rlngton, and without a word strodo forward. Carrlngton bad been regard ing Hannibal with a quickened Inter est." "Hello!" he said, as the Judge moved off. "You're the boy 1 saw at Scratch Hill!" Hannibal gave him a frightened glance, and edged to Mr. Muhaffy's side, but did not answer. The Judge plodded forward, his shoulders drooped, and bis head bowed. For once alienee bad flxod Its seal upon bis lips, no Inspiring spoecb fell from tbem. Ho had beon suddenly swept back Into a past he had striven thoso twenty years and more to forget, and hla memories sbapod themselves fantastically. Sure ly If over a man had quitted tho world that knew hltn, he wns that man! Ho had died and yet ho lived lived hor ribly, without bouI or benrt, tho ompty shell of a man. A turn In tho road brought them within sight of Hoggs' raco-track, n wldo, lovol moadow. The Judgo paused Irresolutely, and turned his bleared face on his friend. "We'll stop hero, Solomon," ho said rather wearily, tor tho spirit of boast nnd Jest was qulto gone out or him. He glanced townrd Carrlngton. "Aro you a resident of theso parts, sir?" be usked. "I've beon in Ralolgh three days al together," answered Carrlngton, aud they continued on across tho meadow In, sllonco. Hero wero men from tho small clearings In homeBpun and butternut or fringed bunting-shirts, with their womon folk trailing nfter them. Here, too, In lessor numbers, wero the lords of tho boII, the men who counted their ncres by the thousand nnd their Blnves by tho score. Tbero was tho flutter or skirts among tho moving groups, the nodding of gay parasols thnt shaded fresh young facoR, whllo occasionally a comfortablo family car riage with somo planter's wife or daughter rolled silently over tho turf. Tho Judge's dull eyo kindled, tho haggard linos that streaked his faco erased themselves. This was life, opu lent and full. Thoso swift-rolling car riages with their handsome women, thoso woU-dresaod men on foot, and splendidly mounted, nil did their pnrt toward lifting I Urn out or bis gloom. A cry from Hannlbnl drew his at tention. Turning, ho was In time to ee the boy bound away. An instant llater, to his astonishment, be saw a young girl who was seated with two linen in an open carriage spring to the ground, and dropping to her knees put ber arms about tho tattered llttlo figure. "Why, Hannibal!" cried Hetty Mal roy. "Miss Betty! Miss Hetty!" and Hannibal burled his bead on her shoulder. "What Is It, Hannibal; what Is It, dear?" "Nothing, only I'm bo gUvl to find you!" "I am glad to ..see you, too!" said Dotty, as she wiped his tears away. "Wbao did you get here, dear?" C0Pror, aaaaaaeawagggggggaagW "Wo got hero Just today, Miss Het ty," said Hannibal. Mr. Ware, caroloss as to dress, scowled down on tho child. Ho bad favored Hoggs' with his presence, not because ho felt the least Interest In horse-racing, but because ho had no faith In glrlH, and especially bad ho profound mistrust of Dotty. Sbo was so much easily portable woaltb, a pink-faced chit rondy to rail Into the arms of tho first man who proposed to bor. Hut Charley Norton bad not seemed disturbed by tho planter's forbidding air. "What ragamuffin's this, Uetty?" growled Wnro disgustedly. Hut Hetty did not Hcom to hear. "Did you como alono, Hannibal?" sho asked. "No, ma'am; tho Judgo and Mr. Ma hnffy, thoy fetched mo." Tho Judge hud druwn nearer as Hetty and Hannlbnl spoke together, but Mnhnffy hung back. Tbero wero gulfs not to bo crossed by him. It wns different with tho Judgo; tho nntlvo rongnltlccnco of his mind lilted him for nny occnslon. "Allow mo tho honor to present my self, ma'am Prlco Ih my name Judge Slocum Prlco. May I be per mitted to assume that this Is tbo Miss Dotty of whom my young protego so often speaks?" Tom Wnre gavo him a glance of undisguised astonishment, while Nor ton regardod him with an expression of stunned nnd resolute gravity. Hetty looked at tho Judge rather In quiringly. "I am glad he has found friends," she said slowly. She wanted to be Hevo that Judge Slocum Price was somehow, bottor than he looked, which Bhould bnve been easy, since It wns Incredlblo that ho could have been worse. "Ho has Indeed found friends," said tho Judge with mollow unction, and swelling visibly. Now Hetty caught sight of Carrlng ton and bowed. Occupied with Han nibal and tbo Judge, she had been un aware of bis presence. Carrlngton stepped forward. "Have you met Mr. Norton, and my brother, Mr. Carrlngton?" she asked. The two young men shook hands, nnd Ware Improved tbe opportunity to Inspect the new-comer. But aa his glance wandered over him, It took In more than Carrlngton, for tt In cluded tbo tine figure and swarthy face of Captain Murrell, who, with his eyes fixed on-Hetty, was thrusting his eager way through tho crowd. Murrell had presonted himself at Hello Plain the day before. For up ward of a year, Ware bad onjoyed groat peace of mind as a direct re sult of his absence from west Ten nesBco, nnd when ho thought or him at nil ho bad invariably put a porlod to his meditations with, "I bopo to boll ho catches It wherever ho Is!" Moro than this, Dotty had spoken ikr&isiiA wMmAjiursmmmm ' AiMV v Bm W Hannibal Gave Him Frightened Glance and Edged Toward Mr. Ma- haffy's Side. I THE PRODIGAL JUDGE (K iUGHAH KCSTCR, luusTymoHs ByD.Muviu i)i, TneOotM-MeeOHt COffMnr of tho captain In no uncertain tones. He was not to ropont that visit. As Murrell approached, the hot col or surged Into Hetty's face. As for Hannlbnl, ho bad gone white to the lips, and his small hand clutched hers desperately. Murrell, with all his hardihood, realized that a too groat conlldenco bad placed bim In nn awkward posi tion, for Hetty turned ber back on him and began an animated conver sation with Carrlngton and Charley Norton. HIckB, tho Delle Plain overseer, pushed his way to Murroll's side. "Hore, John Murrell, ain't you go ing to show us a trick or two?" he Inquired. Murrell turned quickly with a sense of relief. "If you can sparo me your rlile," ho snld, hut his faco woro a bleak look. "Don't you think you've seen about enough, Uet?" demanded Tom. "You don't caro for tho shooting, do you?" "That's tho very thing I do caro for; I think I'd rather see that than tho horse-rnclng," said Hetty perverse ly. Hetty now seated herself In the car riage with Hannibal beside ber, quietly determined to miss nothing. The Judge, reeling that he had come Into blH own, leaned elegantly against the wheel, and explained tbe morita of each shot ns It was made. "I hope you gentlemen are not go ing to let mo walk off with tha prize?" said Murrell, approaching the group about tho carriage. "Mr. Norton, 1 am told you are clever wltb tbe rltte." "I am not shooting today," respond ed Norton haughtily. - Murrell stalked back to tbe line. "At forty paces I'd risk It myself, ma'am," said tho Judge. "Hut at a hundred, offhand Uko this, I should most certainly fall " "It would bo hard to beat that" thoy heard Murrell say. "At least It would be quite possible to equal It," said Carrlngton, ad vancing with Hannibal's rifle In bis bands. It was tossed to his shoulder, and poured out Us contents In a bright stream of flame. There was a mo ment of silence. "Center shot, ma'am!" cried tbe Judge. "I'll add twenty dollars to tbe purse!" Norton addressed himself to Carrlngton. "And I shall bope, sir, to see It go Into your pocket." "Our sentiments exactly, ma'am, are they not?" said the Judge. "Perhaps you'd like to bet a little of your money?" remarked Murrell. "I'm ready to do that too, sir," re sponded Norton quietly. "Fivo hundred dollars, then, that this gentleman In whose success you take bo great nn Interest, can neither equal nor better my next shot!" Mur rell had produced a roll of bills as be spoko. illM IE: Norton colored with embarrass raent. Carrlngton took In tho situa tion. "Walt a minute," bo said, and passed his purse to Norton. "Cover his money, sir," he added briefly. "Thank you, my horses bave run away with most of my cash," ex plained Norton. "Your shot!" said Carrlngton short ly, to the outlaw. Murrell taking careful aim, fired, clipping tho center. As soon as the result was known, Carrlngton raised bis rifle; his bullet, truer than blB opponent's, drove out the center. Murrell turned on blm with an oath. "You shoot well, but a board stuck ugalnst a tree Is no test for a man's nerve," be said Insolently. Carrlngton was charging his piece. "I only know of one other kind or tnrget," ho observed coolly. "Yes a living target!" cried Mur rell. CHAPTER XII. The Portal of Hope. "This" tho speaker wns Judge Price; "thlB Is the pluce for me. They aro u warm-hearted people, sir; a prosperous people, and a patriotic people with an unstinted love or coun try. ftl'd like to hang out my shingle here and practice law." The Judge and Mr. Mahaffy were camped In tbe woods between DoggB' and Raleigh. Betty had carried Han nibal off to spend tbe night at Hello Plain. "I crave opportunity, Solomon the Indorsement of my own class. I feel that I shall have It here," resumed the Judge pensively. "Will you stroll Into town wltb mo, Solomon?" be asked. Mahaffy shook bis bead. "Then let your prayers follow me, for I'm off!" said the Judge. Ten minutes' walk brought blm to the door of the city tavern, where be found Mr. Pegloo directing the activi ties of a small colored boy who was mopping out bis bar. To blm tbo Judge made known bis needs. "Qoln' to locate, are you?" said Mr. Pegloe. "My friends urge It, sir, and I bave taken tbe matter under considera tion," answered the Judge. "Well, tbe only empty bouse in town la right over yonder; It belongs to young Charley Norton out at Thicket Point Plantation." Tbe house Mr. Pegloe pointed out was a small frame building; it stood directly on the street, wltb a narrow porch across tho front, and a shed addition at tbe back. The Judge scut tled over to It. The Judge's pulse quickened. What a location, and what a fortunate chance that Mr. Nor ton was tbo owner of this most doslr able tenement! He must see blm at once. As he turned away to recrosa the street and learn from Mr. Pegloo by what road Thicket Point might be reached, Norton himself galloped Into tho village. Catching sight of tho Judgo, he reined in his horse and swung himself from tho saddle. "I was hoping, sir, I might Mnd you," be said. "A wish I should hnvo echoed had I been aware of It!" responded the Judgo. "I was about to do myself the honor to wait upon you at your plantation." "Then I have saved you a long walk," Bald Norton. He surveyed tbe judgo rather dubiously, but listened with kindness as he explained the business' that would bave taken blm to Tblcket Point. "The houso Is quite at your serv ice, sir," he said, at length. "The rout " began the Judge. Dut Mr. Norton, with a delicacy equal to his own, entreated- l)lm not to mention tbe rent. Tbo bouse bad come to him as boot In a trade. It hnd been occupied by a doctor nnd a lawyer; theso gentlemen bad eacb de camped between two dayB, heavily In debt at the stores and taverns, espe cially the taverns. And thus hand somely did Charley Norton acquit himself of tbe mission be bad unde taken at Uetty Malroy's request. That same morning Tom Ware ana Captain Murrell were seated in tha small detached building at Delle Plain, known as the office, wbore tbe former spent most of his time when not in the saddle (TO BIS CONTINUED.)

Tho Moody lilble In stitute of Chicago.) HYPOCRI8Y AND SINCERITY. OOLDEN TEXT-"Tako heed that you do not ypur rlRhtcousness bofore men, to be seen of them; else yo have no reward with your Father which Is in Heaven." Halt. 6:L Someone has cnlled attention to tho "buta" of Qod as recorded In tho Scriptures, showing thnt they nlways lead to something good nnd contrasts them with thoBo of men that are always the Introduction to some derogatory re mark. In something resembling this tho words of Jesus, "Take heed," are tremendous with import. Doing wns the greatest thing In the Jewish religion that Jesus came to set nslde when ho established his new kingdom. It Is easy for a man to try to do for hlmsolf In order to merit God's favor. It Is hard to let God An for us nnd wo to accept his finished work. In this lesson there Is one inclu sive word nnd three Illustrations. This word Is tho word "righteousness" sub stituted In tho Revised Version for Hie word "alms" In verse one. The thrco lines of application or Illustra tions used nre, first, that wo shall make our righteousness securo by bo doing our alms as not to be seen of men; Becond, that in tho saying of our prayers wo shall not, like the byprocrltes, d&lre to bo -seen of men, and third, that in tho keeping of our fasts and our vigils we do them, not, as do hyprocrltes, that the multitudes may observe and comment thereon. In another lesson upon this mani festo of Jesus we studied the subject or the law and in It he summarized it all by telling ub that except our righte ousness shall exceed the righteousness of these Scribes and Pharisees, whom John tho Dap 1 1st designated as a gen eration of vipers hypocrites, we shall In no wise enter Into this new kingdom which Jesus came to establish. Righteousness He Demands. In the lesson Jesus shows us thet difference between their righteous-; cess and the righteousness which he Is demanding of the subject of his kingdom. He demands that our righte ousness shall seek Its approval not from nor among men but of God. The motive which must govern Is the glory, not of man but of God, not man's approval but the approval of God. In verse two tho word "alms" Is retained and hence the first illus tration has to do with our "doing of alms" 1. e., our relations to men about ns, our right-neBs. The doing of alms has no fundamental connection with, any question of honesty between man, and man. The doing of alms accord ing to the strict Interpretation of civil law is no part of duty. There is no. reason why tho business man should give away his earnings provided he Is Just in his dealings and does not de fraud In his transactions. Yet we do see men making great gifts and bene factions to the cause of philanthropy. Why? Jesus lays bare the secret when he says, "that they may have tho glory of men." Next Jesus takes up tho subject of prayer. Again our attention is drawn to tho fact that tbe exercise of prayer has but little to do with our relations to men. True It Is these rotations must bo right before we can come to God acceptably but prayer Is to be di rected to God and not to man. Apart from our belief in God, why Bhould we pray? Commercial or other lnter-rela-tlonahlps do not require prayer, why then pray? The keen blade of Jesus' logic again reveals tho Innermost se cret, "that they may be seen of men," and eucb an idea of righteousness Is repugnant in the kingdom of Jesus. We now come to tho third illustra tion, the keeping of fasts. Fasting does not and never has appealed to the natural man. Naturally It Is re pugnant and distasteful and yet we see men making a show of fasting and imposing a like burden upon others, why? "That they may be seen of men." Is there, then, no place for, nor ministry In fasting? Certainly there Is. True fastiner. however, con. Bists In foregoing and abstaining foi the "glory of God." God thevFlnal Judge. Jt is a sad fact that much of our len ten fasting and of our abstemiousness upon Fridays is that It shall bo seen,. of men and not because of any real ap preciation of the underlying need of sense of the principles of fasting.. ThlB lesson Is a great warning that If we condition our righteousness upon tbe approval of man it will bave no re ward whatever of God. The ostenta tious or unctlous display of phil anthropy will receive Its reward from men and weighs naught Followed through this lesson applies to all tbe walke of life. For illustra tion, to adulterate food for gain and yet appear active In church for tbe upbuilding or a reputation. This raise neiB la the sin that lies back of graft and corruption and that allows Amer ica to have "the worst governed cities In the world." It is quite notlcable that there is not a single personal pronoun in this model prayer. It begins wltb God, leads us through his dealings 'with man and back once moro to blm to nliom all glory belongs. WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY Decrease In Death Rate From Tubercu loile Means Saving of 27,000 '.Ives In Ten Years. In tho decado from 1901 to 1910, tho death rato from tuberculosis In the United States declined from 19G.9 Tor each 100,000 persons living to 160.3, a decreaso of 18.7 per cent., whllo tho general death rato, Including all cases of death, declined only one-half as fast, or at the rate of 9.7 por cent., from 1635.0 to 1G95.8, according to figures given out by tho National Assoslatlon for tho Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis. The figures aro based on data abstracted from- tho reports of the United States bureau of the cen sus, and cover tho registration area of this country. According to tho statement, the tuberculosis death rato has declined steadily since 1904. when it wat) 201.G. On tho other hand, tha general death rato shows a fluctuation downward in general trend, but not na steady as tho tuberculosis rato. Tho decline in tho tuberculosis death rate in the last ten years means a saving of 27,000 lives at the present time. BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS "My son was nbout threo weeks old When I noticed a breaklng-out on his checks, from which a watery sub stance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and In a fow days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician who at onco pro nounced tho disease eczema. The lit tle fellow was under treatment for about thrco months. Dy tho end of that tlmo, he seemed no better. I be came discouraged. I dropped the doc tor's treatment, and commenced the uso of Cutlcura Soap nnd Ointment, nnd in a few days noticed a marked change. Tho eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, nnd his shoulders, nrms nnd breast were decidedly bet ter. When ho was about seven months old, all trace of the eczema was gono. "During his tcothing period, his head and face were broken out in bolls which I cured with Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. Surely ho must havo been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was tho picture of health. His complexion was soft and beauti ful, and his head a mass of silky curls. I had been afraid that ho would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cutlcura Remedies."
