Copyright, 1902, by McClure, Phillips & CO. (Continued' from last Week.) Ten minutes later the cart swept away from the house at a gait that pained the respectable neighborhood. The big horse plunged through the air, his ears laid flat toward his tail. The cart careened sickeningly, and the face of the servant clutching at the rail in the rear was smeared with pallor as they pirouetted' around curves on one wheel. To him it seemed they eldrted the corners and death- simultaneously, and the speed a ,their going a ade a strong wind in their faces. Earkless leaned fortvazd.. "Can ytai make it a little faster, Tom?" he said. They dashed up to the ,station amid the cries of people flying to the walls for safety. The two gentlemen leaped from the cart, bore clown upon the ticket office, stormed at the agent and ' ran 'madly at the gates, flourishing their passports. The official on duty eyed them wearily. "Been gone two minutes," he remarked with a peace- able yawn. , Harkless stamped his foot on the ce- ment flags; then he stood stock still,' 1 gazing at the: -empty tracks, ,but Mere- dith turned to' bim, smiling. "Won't it keep?" he asked. , . "Yee, it 'will keep," John answered. "Part of liA may have to keep till dee- tion day, but some of it I will settle before night. And that," he cried be- tween his teeth, "and that is the part` 1 Of it in regard to young Fisbee!" ' "Oh, it's about H. Fisbee, is it?" "Yes, it's if . Fisbee." "Well: we might as well go up and see what, the doctor thinks of you; there's no,train." "1 don't want to see a doctor again • ,ever -d -as long as I live. I'm as well as ✓ anybody." I Tom burst out laughing and clapped hie, companion lightly on the shoulder, . his eyes dancing with pleasure. "Upon o my soul," he cried, "I believe you are. , A miracle wrought by the witch wand 1 of indtgnation! That's rather' against traditren,• isn't it? Well, let's take a drive." "Meredith," said the other, turning to him gravely, "you may think me a . fool if you will, and it's likely I am, o but I don't leave this station -except by train.

"I know that," answered he, "but Pee got to beat McCune." • , "By the way," observed Meredith, "you left your stick behind." "You don't think I need a club to face"— . . Tom chokedly "Oh, no: I'wasn't think- ing of your gi, ing H. Fisbee a beating. I meant to le4n on." "I don't w nt it. I've got to walk lame all my ife, but I'm not going to hobble on a stick." -- Tom looked at him sadly for a mo- ment. It was tree, and the Crossroad- ers might bug themselves in r their cells over the thought. For the rest of his life John Harkless was to walk with just t e limp they themselves would have lad if, as in former days., their seutencc had been to the ball and' chain. "Sit down, boy, ;it down," said Meredith, an( his. friend obeyed.

And in place of it a strong sens of home coming began to take posse.sion of him. He was go- ing home, "Back to Plattville, where I belong," he said to himself without bit- terness, and it was the truth.

But had it done him ti, kludness? He looked : out over the teautiful, "monotonous" landscape, and, he answered heartily, "No!" There Was ignorance in man, • but no unkindness. Were man utterly wi.re be were 4terly kind. The Cross- rotiders had not, known better, that was 3,11. The unfoldin, aisles of corn swam .,pleasantly befo e .his eyes.

Beaver is that city of Car •ige ie low county next in importance and population to Platteille." Tom idut his head put of the window. "1 ,fancy you are right," he said. "I already see five 13ople there." • Meredith had ob erved the change in his companion's mood. He had watched him closely :all day, looking for a re- • turn of his maladY, but he came to the conclusion that in truth a miracle had been wrought, for the. lethargy. was gone and vigor seemed to increase in Harkless 'with every turmof the wheels that brought them nearer Plattville, and the nearer- they drew to Plattville the higher the sin dts of both the young men rose. Mere ith knew what was happening there, tnd he began to be a little excited. Al. he had, said, titers were five people V,Isible at Beaver, and he wondered whdre they lived, as the onlY building in oiglit was the statical and to Satisfy hiS curiosity be walked out to the. vestibtile. The little station stood in the woods, and brown leaves whirled alon_g thei platform. One of the Ave 'people was ai old lady, and she en- tered a rear car. 'The other four 'were' men. One of U. din handed the con- ductor a telegram. Mereduth 'heard the official. say: "All right. Decorate ahead, I'll hold it five minutes." The man sprang up the steps of the smoker and looked in. He turned to Meredith. "Do you know if that gen- tleman in the gray coat is Mr. Hark- less? He's got his pack this way, and I don't want to go inside, The air in a smoker always gives me a spell." "Yes, that's Mr. Harkless." The .man jumped to the platform. "All right, boys" he said. "Rip her out!" - The doors of .the freight roomwere thrown open, and a big bundle f col- ored stuffs was dragged out and hastily: unfolded. One of the men ran to the farther end of the car with a strip of red, White and blue bunting and _tack- ed it securely, while another fastened the other extremity to the, railing' of the steps by Meredith. The two corn- panions of this pair performed the same operation With 'another strip on the other side of the car. They ran similar lines kyf bunting near the roof from end to end, 'so that exeept for the windows the sides of the car were completely covered by the national col- ors. Then they draped the vestibules with flags. It was all done in a trice. Meredith's heart was beating fast. "What's it all about?" he- asked. '"Picnic down the line," answered the man in charge, removing a tack from his mouth. He motioned to the con- ducton, "Go ahead!" The 'wheels began to Move; the dee- °eaters remained on the statibn plat- form, letting the train pass them, but Meredith,' craning his neck from the steps, saw that .they jumped on the last ear. "What's the celebration?" asked Harkless when Meredith returned. "Picnic down the line," said Mere- ' "And another—three, five, seven— seven in 'Sight at once! They .tried it three miles south and failed, but you can't fool Eh Watts, bless him! 'want you to know Watts." They ran by the outlying houses of the town amid a tbousaed descriptive exclamations from Igerkless, who Wish- ed Meredith to meet every one in Car- le*. But he came to a pause in the - middle of a word. "Do you hear mu- sic," he asked abruptly, "er is it only the rhythm of the ties?" "It seems to me there's music in the air," answered his companion. "I've been fancying I beard dt for a minute or so. There! No—yes. It's a band, Isn't it?" "No. What would a band—yes, it is!" The train slowed up and stopped at a Water. tank 200 yards east of the sta- tion, and their Uncertainty was at an end. From somewhere down the track came the detonating boom of a cannon. There was- a clash of brims, ifind the travelers became sure of a. band, play- ing "Marching Through' Georgia." Meredith laid his hand on his com- panion's shoulder. "John," he -said, "John 1" The cannon fired again, and there came a cheer from 3,000 throats, the shouters all unseen. The engine cough- ed and panted, the train rolled on, and In another moment it had stopped alongside the station in the midst of a riotous jam of happy people who were waving flags and banners and handker- chiefs and tossing their hats high in the air and shouting themselves hoarse. The band played in dumb show. It could not hear itself play. The people came at the smoker like a long wave, and Warren Smith, Briscoe, Keating and Mr. Bence of Gaines were swept ahead of it. Before the train stopped they had rushed eagerly up the steps and entered the car. Harkless was on his feet and started to meet them. He stopped. . "What does it mean?" he said and be- gan to grow pale. "Is Halloway—did cetme—have you"— Warren Smith seized one of his hands and Briscoe the other, "What does it mean:" cried Warren, "It means that you were nominated for congreSs at five minutes after 1 o'clock this afternoon!" "On the second ballot" shouted the judge, "just as young Fisbee planned it weeks ago." * * It was one of the' great crowds of Carlow's history. Since noon an al- most unintermittent procession of pe- destrians and vehicles had been making its .wayd to the station, and every wag- on, buckboard, buggy and "cgt under" had its flag a or bunting or streamer of ribbons tied to the whip. The excite- ment increased as the time grew short- er. Everybody was struggling for a better position. The people i4 wagons and carriages stood upon the seats, and the pedestrians besieged them, climbing 4‘to'illid't you think? One of those fel- with feet on the hubs of opposite wag- pon ping weather for a picnic. A bit on the wheels or balancing recklessly dol . lows looked like a friend .of mine, ons. Everybody was bound to see him. Homer Tibbs, or as Homer might look When the whistle announced the cora- I ing of the train the band began to Play, the cannon fired, horns blew and the cheering echoed and re-echoed till heav- en's vault resounded With the noise the people of Carlow were making. Tb re *as one heart that almost stoped beating. Helen was standing on the front seat of the Briscoe buck- board, wale Minnie beside her, and at the commotion the horses peenced and backed eo that Lige Willetts ran to hold them. But Helen did not notice the frightened roans, nor did she know that Minnie clutched her round the waist to keep her from falling. Her eyes were fixed intently on the smoke of the faraway engine, and her hand, lifted to her face in an uncertain, tremulous fashion, as it was one day in a circus tent, was laid against the deepest blush that ever mantled a girl's cheek-. When the train reached the platform she saw Briscoe and the oth- ers rush into the bunting covered ear, and- there ensued what was to her an almost intolerable pause of expecta- tion 'Mille the crowd assaulted/the win- dows of the smoker, leaping up and climbing on each other's shoulders to catch the first glimpse of him. Briscoe and a red faced young man (a stranger to Plattville) came down the steps, laughing like boys, and then Keating and Bence, and then Warren Smith. As the lawyer reached the platform he turned toward the door of ,the car and gligge4. ei.e_iag4egta, ilea:welcome) i'Re4re if he were in disgrace. He had his hat hung on his eyes, and he slouched like Ia thief in melodrama as be tacked up the bunting on this side of the car." He continued to point out various familiar places, finally breaking out enthusiastically .as they drew nearer the town: "Hello! Look there—beyond the grove yonder!, e that house?" "Yes, John." - "That's the Bowldere% You've got te know the Bowlders." i "I'd like to." "The kindest people in the world. .
