JEW CHAPTER IL IIE Briscoe buckboard rattled along the elastic country road, the roans setting a sharp pace as they turned eastward on the pike toward borne. "They'll make the eight miles in three-quarters of an hour," said Judge Briscoe proudly. He turned from his daughter at his side to Miss Sherwood, who sat with Mr. Fisbee behind them, and pointed ahead with his whip. "Just beyond that bend we pass through Six Crossroad." Miss Sherwood leaned forward eager- ly. "What did you mean last night eafter the lecture," she said to Fisbee, "when you asked Mr. Martin wbo was to be with Mr. Harkless?" "'Who was watching him," he an- Swered. •"Watching him? I don't 1100r- e:tend." "Yes; they have shot at him from he woods at night, and"— "But who watches him?" "The young men of the town. lio ims a habit of taking long walks after elarle, and he is heedless of all remon- ertieffice, so the young men have organ- ized a guard for him, and every even- ing one of them follows him until lie .goes M the office to work for the night It is a different young man each night, and the watcher follows at a distance, o that he does not suspect." "But how many people know of this dirrangement?" "Nearly every one in the county ex- .tept the Crossroads people, though it is not improbable that they have discov- eered it." ; "And has no one told him?" • "No; he would not allow it to con- tinue. He will not even arm himself." • "They follow and watch him night. eifter night, and every one knows and no one tells him? Oh, I must say," tried the girl, "I think these aro good people!" The buckboard turned the bend in the :goad, and they entered a squalid settle - tient bullraggedly au abktck- smti shop mid a saloon. "I'd hate to thave a breakdown here," Briscoe re- marked quietly. Half a, dozen shanties clustered near .the forge, a few roofs scattered through .the shiftlessly cultivated fields, four or five barns propped by fence rails, some sheds with gaping apertures through evhich the light glanced from side to side, a squad of thin razorback hogs, now and then worried by gaunt hounds, and some abused looking hens groping about disconsolately in the mire, broken topped buggy with a twisted Wheel, settling into the mud of the middle of the road (there was always abundant mud here in the driest sum- mer); a dim face sneering from a bro- ken window—Six Crossroads was for- bidding and forlorn enough by day. rehe thought of what might issue from et by night was unpleasant, and the legends of the Crossroads, together . with an tinshapen threat easily fancied •in the atmosphere of the place, made Miss Sherwood shiver as though a cold draft had crossed her.

TEE WINGUAM TIMES, ATIGITSf 2Q 1906 the voice of the Herald and its owner, There Were arrests, and In the course ,ef Hine there was a trial. every pris- oner proved an alibi—could haveproved a dozen—but the editor of tbe Herald, after virtually conducting the proseell- tion, went upon the stand mid swore to man after man. Eight men went to. the penitentiary on his evidence, five of them for twenty years. 11ie Platt- ville brass band sereuaded the editor of the Herald again. There were no more yelds, and the Six Crossroads men who were left kept to their hovels, appalled and shaken, but as time went by and left them un- molested they recovered a measure uf where theylive, the people that hate t hint, is it? The White Caps?" IN "They call themselves that," replied ,i Briscoe. "Usually White Caps are a vigilance committee in a region where the law isn't enforced. These fellows aren't that kind. They got together to wipe out grudges, and sometimes didn't need any grudge—just made their raids for pure devilment. Therehi a feud be- tween us and them that goes back into pioneer deys, and only a few of us old folks kpow much about it." "And he was the first to try to stop them?" "Well, you eee, eur folks are pretty long suffering," said Briscoe apologet- ically, "We'd sort of got used to the meanness of the Crossroads. It took a stranger to stir things up, and he did. Ile sent eight of them to the peni- tentiary, some for twenty years." As they passed the saloon a man stepped into tho doorway and looked at them. He was coatiess and clad in garments worn to the color of dust, Ills bare head was curiously malform- ed, higher on one side than on the oth- er, and though the buckboard passed rapidly and at a distance this singular lopsidedness was plainly visible to the occupants, lending an ugly significance to his meager, yellow. face. He was tall, lean, hard, powerfully built. He eyed the strangers with affected lan- guor and then, when they had gone by, broke into sudden loud laughter. "That was Bob Skillett, the worst of the lot," said the judge. "Harkless sent his son and one brother to prison, and it nearly brake his heart that he couldn't swear to Bob." When they were beyond the village and in the open road again Miss Sher- wood took a deep breath. "I think I breathe more freely. That was a hid- eous laugh he sent after us." The ,Judge glanced at his guest's face and chuckled. "I guess we won't frighten you much," he said. "Young lady, I don't believe you'd be afraid ot many things, would you? You don't look like it. Besides, the Crossroads isn't Plattville, and the White Caps have been too scared to do anything muck except try to get even with the Herald for the last two years—ever since it went for them. They're lay- ing for Harkless partly for revenge and partly because they daren't do any. thing until he's out of the way." The girl gave a low cry with a sharp intake of breath. "Ale one grows tired of this everlasting American patience! Why don't the Plattville people do something before they"— "It's just as I say," Briscoe answer- ed. "Our folks are sort of used to them. I expect we do about all we can. The boys look after him nights, but the main trouble is that we can't make him understand he ought to be more afraid of them. If he'd lived here all his life ho would be. If they get him there'll be trouble of an illegal na- ture." He broke off suddenly and nod- ded to a little old Mft71 in a buck- board turning off from the road into a farm lane which led up to a trim cot- tage with a honeysuckle vine by the door. "That's Mrs. Wimby's husband," said the judge in an undertone. Miss Sherwood observed that Mrs. Wimby's husband was remarkable for the exceeding plaintiveness of itis ex- pression. He was a weazened, blank, pale eyed little man, with a thin white mist of neck whisker, and he was dressed in clothes much too large for him. No more inoffensive figure than this feeble little old man could be im- agined, yet his was the distinction of having received a hostile visit from its neighbors of the Crossroads. .4. vaga- bonding tinker, he bad inarried the one respectable person of the section, a widosie who had refused several gen- tlemen at the Crossroads, and so com- plete was the bridegroom's insignifi- cance that to all the world his own name was lost. The bride continued to be known by her former name as "Mrs. Wimby," and her spouse was usually called "Widder Woman Wimby's hus- band" or "Mr. Wimby." The bride sup- plied his wardrobe with the garments of her former husband, and, alleging this proceeding as the cause of their anger, the White Caps broke into the farmhouse one night, tore the old man from his bed and before his wife's eyes lashed him with sapling shoots till he was near to death. A. little yellow cur that had followed his master on his evanderings was found licking the old men's wounds, and they deluged the dog With kerosene and then threw the poor animal upon a bonfire they had ertInado and danced around in heartiest enjoyment. The man recevered, but that was no palliation of the offense to the mind of a hot eyed young man from the east who was besieging the county author'. tieS for redress and Writing brimstone and saltpeter for his paper. The pole - era of the county proving either lack- adaisical or timorous, he appealed to those of the state, and tee went every night to sleep et 0farraheuse the own- er of which had received a warning froni the White, Caps, and one night it befell that he was reevarded, for the raiders attempted an entrance. lie and the fanner and the fanner's sons beat off the marauderand did a itatisfaet0- ry amount of damage In robin. Two of the White Caps they captured and bound, nod Other they recognized. Then the etette authorities hearkened to heir hardiness and hegan to think on 'hat they should do to the man who tad brought misfortune and terror up- on them—For a long time he had been publishing their threateuing letters and warnings in it, column which he headed 'Humor of the Day." When the Briscoe buckboard had left the Crossroads far behind and had come in sight of Plattville Mr. Bris- coe's visitor turned to Fisbee with a repetition of the shiver that the laugh- ter of Mr. Skillett had caused her and said half under her breath, "I wish—I half wish—that we had not driven through there." She clasped Mr. Fie - bee's hand gently. Ilis eyes shone. He touched her fingers with a strange, shy reverence. "You will meet him tomorrow," he said softly, She laughed and pressed Ms hand. "I'm afraid not. I was almost at his sIdo last night when Minnie asked him to call on me. Ile wasn't even inter- ested enough to look at me." • • e • • • r_e_dr 9 Iola.

He followed, but when he reach- ed the street she was a mere shadow flitting under the courthouse trees. He looked after Ocr torebodlngly, then turned his eyes toward the Palace ho- tel on the corner. The editor of the Something over two hours later, as Mr. Torn Martin was putting things to rights in his domain, the Dry Goods Emporium, previous to his departure for the evening's gossip and checkers ut the drug store, he stumbled over something soft lying on the floor be- hind a counter. The thing rose and Would have evaded him, but he put out his hands and pinioned it and dragged it to the show window, where the light of the fading day defined his capture. The capture sbrieked and squirmed and fought earnestly. Grasped by the shoulder, be held a lean, fierce eyed, undersized girl of fourteen clad in 0710 ragged cotton garment, unless the coat of duet she wore over all, might he es- teemed another. Her cheeks were sal- low, and her brow was already shrewd. ly lined, and her eyes were as hypo- critical as they were savage. She was very thin and little, but old Tom's brown face grew a shade nearer white when the light fell upon her. "You're no Plattville girl," he said sharply. "You lie!" cried the child'. "You lie! I am! You leave me go, will you? I'm lookin' fer pap, and you're a liar!" "You crawled in here to sleep after your seven ratio walke didn't your Martin went on. "reser° a liar!" she screamed. "Look here," said Martin slowly, "you go back to Six Crossroads and tell your folks that if anything happens to a hair of Mr. Iterkless' head every shanty in your town will burn, and your grandfather, and your father, and your uncles, and your brothers, and your cousins, and your second cousins, and your third cousins will never have the good luck to see the penitentiary. Reckon you can remember that mes- sage? But before I let you go to carry it I guess you might as well hand out the paper they sent you over here with." 'His prisoner fell Otto a paroxysm of rage. "I'll git pap to kill ye!" she shrieked, striking at him. "1 den't know nothin' 'bout yer Six Crossroads, ner no pa- pers, ner yer Mr. Harrele neither, leer you, ye razorbacked ole devil. Pap '11 kill ye! Leave me go! Leave me go! Pap '11 kill ye! I'll git him to kill ye!" Suddenly her struggles ceas- ed, her eyes closed, her tense little mus- cles relaxed, and she drooped toward the floor. The old man shifted his grip to support her, and in an instant she twisted out of his hands and sprang out of reach, her eyes shining with tri- umph and venom. "Yahay, Mr. Itazorback!" she shrill- ed. "How's that fer high? Pap '11 kill ye Sunday! Yell be sereechin' in hell in a week, an' we hill set .up an' drink our applejack an' tuff!" Martin pursued her lumberingly, but she was agile as a monkey and ran dodging up and down the counters and' mocked him, singing, "Gran'mammy, If You Suffer with Rheumatism br.

"What's the use of tryin' to bother him with it?" old Tom asked himself. "He'd only laugh." Ile noted that young William Todd, the drug, book and wall paper clerk, sat near the ed- itor, whittling absently. Martin chuc- kled. "William's turn tonight," he murmured. "Well, the boys '11 take care of him." He locked the doors of the Emporium, tried them.and dropped the keys in his pocket. As he crossed the square to the drug store, where his cronies an -feted him, he turned again to look at the figure of the musing journalist, "He ought to go out there," he said and shook his head sadly. "I don't reckon Plattville's any too spry for that young man. Five years he's be'n here. Well, it's a good thing for us, but I guess it ain't exact- ly high life for him." He kicked a stick dat of bis way impatiently. "Now, where'd that imp run to?" he grum- bled. The imp was lying under the court- house steps. When the sound of Mar- tin's footsteps had passed away she crept cautiously from her hiding place and stole through the ungroomed grass to the fence opposite the kotel. Here she stretched herself fiat in the weeds and took from the tangled masses of her hair, where it was tied with a string, a rolled tip, crumpled Islip et greasy paper. With this in her fingers she lay peering under the fence, her fierce eyes fixed unwinkingly on the editor of the Herdld. The street tan flat and gray in the slowly gathering dusk straight to the western horizon, where the sunset em- bers were strewn in long. glowing, dark red streaks. The map' • trees 'were clean cut silhouettes fteehtst the pale rose and pearl tints of lee sky above, and a tenderness seemed 73 shimmer in the air. The editor often iowed to him- self he would watch no more sunsets in Plattaille. He thought they were making him morbid. Could be have shared them it would have been dif- ferent. His long, melancholy face grew lon- ger and more melancholy in the twi- light, while William Todd patiently' whittled near by. Plattville bad often discussed the editor's habit of silence, and possibly the reason Mr. Harkless Was such a quiet man as that there lifts nobody for him tO talk to; but his hearers did not agree, for the popula- tion of Carlow county was a thing of pride, being greater than that of see - erg bordering countiee. A bent figure came slowly down the street, and 'William Todd hailed it Cheerfully, "lei/thing, Mr. Fisbee" "A good evening, Mr. Todd," an- ewered the old man, pausing. "Ate, Mr. ilarkless, I was looking for yen." ma had not seemed to bo looking for any- thing beyond the boundaries of hie own dreams, but he approached Harkless, tageeng nervously at some papers In his pocket, "I have Completed my notes for our Saturday edition, It was quite easy, sir. There is much doing." "Thank you, Mr. Isithee," said Hark- less As he took the inantitictipt. "Have you finished your paper on the cattier Chrlstlau symbolism? 1 hope the Her. ald may have the honor of printing it." This was a form they used. "1 ball be the recipient of honer, sir," returue4 frisbee, "your kind offer will speed my 'Work; hut I fear, Idr. Iferkless, I very much fear, that your kindness atone prompts it, for, 0014 as I desire it, I cannot truthfully say that iny mays appear to increase our circulation." He made an odd, trou- bled gesture as be went on: "They do not seem to read them here, although Mr. Martin assures me that he care- fulleereperuses my article on Chaldean decoration whenever he rearranges Ms exhibition windows." Ile plodded on a few paces, then turned irresolutely. "What is it, Fisbee?" asked itarkless. Fisbee stood for a moment as though about to epeak; tleen, he smiled faintly, shook his head and went his way. Ilarkless waved his hand to him in farewell and, drawiug a pencil and a pad from his pocket, proceeded to in- jure his eyes in tbe waning twilight by the editorial perusal of the items his staff had just left in his hands. He glanced over them meditatively, mak- ing alterations here and tbere. The last one Fisbee bad written as follows: Miss Sherwood of Rouen, whom Miss Briscoe knew at the Misses Jennings' fin- ishing school In New York, is a guest of Judge Briscoe's household. Fisbee's items were written in ink. There was a blank space beneath the last. At the bottom of the page some- thing had been scribbled in pencil. Harkless vainly trled to decipher it; but the twilight had fallen too deep, and the writing was too faint, so he struck a mateh and held it close to the paper. The 'action betokened only a languid interest. But when he caught sight of the first of the four subscrib- ed lines he sat up straight in his chair, with a sharp ejaculation. At the bot- tom of Fisbee's page was written in a dainty feminine hand of a type he had not seen for years: "The time has come," the walrus said, "To talk of many things -- Of shoes and ships and sealing wax And cabbages and kings." Ile put the papier in his pocket and set off rapidly down the village street. At his departure William Todd looked up quickly. Then he got upon Ills feet, with a yawn, and quietly followed the editor. Iu the dusk a tattered little figure rose up from the weeds across the way and stole noiselessly after William. He was in Ms shirt sleeves, Ills waistcoat unbuttoned and loose. On the nearest corner Mr. Todd encounter- ed a fellow townsman who bad been peeing up and down in front of a cot- tage crooning to a protestive baby held In his arms. He had paused in his vigil to stare after Ilarkless. "Where's be bound fer, Willlara?" inquired the man wit& tke baby. "Briscoes'," answered William, pur- suing his way. "I reckoned he would be," observed the other, turning to bis wife, who sat on the doorstep. "I reckoned so wben I see that lady at the lecture last night." The woman rose to her feet "Hi, Bill Todd!" she said. "What ye got on to the back of yer vest?" William paused, put his hand behind him and encountered a paper pinned to the dan- gling strap of his waistcoat. The wom- alt ran to him and unpinned the paper. It bore a writing. Tbey took it to where the yellow lamplight shone out through the open door and read: der Sir—FoLor harkis at o ples an calla him bct,t venscenS li, clotAcit harkls not Got 1 ds to live we come in wite. • "What ye think, William?" asked the man with the baby anxiously. But the .,woman gave the youth a sharp push with her hand. "They never dast to es it!" she cried; "never in the world! You hurry, Bill Todd. Don't leave him out of your sight one sec- ond." , T CHAPTER III. IIE street upon which the Pal- ace hotel fronted formed the south side of the square and ran west to the edge of the town, wbere it turned to tho south for a quarter of a mile or more, then bent to the west again. Some distance from this second turn there stood, fronting close on the road, a large brick house, the most pretentious man- sion in Carlow county. And yet it was a homelike place, with its red brick walls embowered In masses of cool Virginia creeper and a comfortable veranda crossing the broad front, while half a hundred stalwart Sentinels of elm and beech and poplar stood guard around it The front walk wen bor- dered by geraniums and hollyhocks, and honeysuckle climbed the pillars of the poreb. Behind the house there was a shady little orchard, and back of the orchard an old fashioned, very fragraht rose garden, divided by a long grape arbor, extended to the shallow waters of a wandering creek, and on the bank a rustle seat was placed beneath the Syeamores. From the first bend of the road, where it left the town and became (To be coethened.) Insomnia, Cure—An excellent way to cure insotemia is to bandage the eves with it handkerchief before retiring.
