also to see to it that tho laborer's

CHAPTER XVII.
The Judge Extends His Credit.
That afternoon Judge Price walked
out to Belle Plain. Solomon Mahaffy
had known that this was a civility
Betty Malroy could by no means escape.
He had been conscious of the
judge's purpose from the moment It
existed in the germ state, and he had
striven to divert him, but his striving
had been in vain, for though the
judge valued Mr. Mahaffy because of
certain sterling qualities which he
professed to discern beneath the hard
crust that made up the external man,
he was not disposed to accept him as
his mentor in nice matters of taste
and gentlemanly feeling. He owed it
to himself personally to tender his
sympathy. Miss Malroy must have
heard something of the honorable
part iifj iiiiu pia\ ru, oaici; ouv wum
not be in ignorance of the fact that
the lawless element, dreading his further
ae;iviti< .>, had threatened hint.
She must know, too, about that reward
of five thousand dollars. Certainly
her grief could not blind her
to the fact that he had met the situation
witt a largeness of public spirit
that was an impressive lesson to the
entire community.
These were all points over which
he and Mahaffy had wrangled, and
he felt that his friend, in seeking to
keep him away from Belie Plain, was
standing squarely in his light. Ho

, In her path. He beamed on bis frleu
i wi:h a wide sunny smile.
"You mean sne neeas a lawyer,
Price?" Insinuated Mahaffy.
"That slap at me, Solomon, Is unworthy
of you. Just name some one,
will you, who has shown an Interest
comparable to mine? I may say I
have devoted my entire energy to her
i affairs, and with disinterestedness. 1
have made myself felt. Will you mention
who else these cutthroats have
tried to browbeat and frighten? They
, know that my theories and concluI
slons are a menace to them! I got
j *em In a panic, sir?presently some
< fellow will lose his nerve and light
out for the tall timber?and It will
be Just Judge Slocum Price who's
done the trick?no one else I"
"Are you looking for some one to
take a pot shot at you?" Inquired Mahaffy,
sourly.
"Your remark uncovers my fondest
hope, Solomon?I'd give five years or
my life just to be shot at?that would
round out the episode of the letter
i nicely"; again the judge beamed on
Mahaffy with that wide and sunny
smile of his.
"Why don't you let the boy go
alone, Prlce7" suggested Mahaffy. He
lacked that sense of sublime confidence
In the judge's tact and discretion
of which the judge, himself, entertained
never a doubt.
"I shall not obtrude myself, Soloi
mon; I shall merely walk out to Belle
I Plain and leave a civil message. I
know what's due Miss Malroy In her
bereaved state?she has sustained no
ordinary loss, and in no ordinary
fashion. She has been the center of
a striking and profoundly moving
| tragedy! I woul^-give-a good deaf It?
J know If my late client left a will?"
"You might ask her," said Mahaffy
cynically. "Nothing like going to
headquarters for the news!"
"Solomon, Solomon, give me credit
for common sense?go further, and
I give me credit for common decency!
Don't let us forget that ever since we
: came here she has manifested a
charmingly hospitable spirit where we
are concerned!"
"Wouldn't charity hit nearer the
mark, Price?"
"I have never so regarded it, Solomon,"
said the judge mildly. "I have
read a different meaning in the beef
I and flour and potatoes she's sent here.
I expect if the truth could be known
to us she is wondering In the midst
| of her grief why 1 haven't called, but
; she'll appreciate the considerate delicacy
of a gentleman. I wish it were
j possible to get cut flowers in this
cussed wilderness!"
The judge had been occupied with
a simple but ingenious toilet. He
had trimmed the frayed skirts of his
coat; then, by turning his cults in- i
side out and upside down a fresh surface
made its flt^t public appearance.
Next hl3 shoes had engaged his attention.
They might have well discouraged
a less resolute and resourceful
character, but with the contents
of his ink-well he artfully colored his
white yarn socks where they showed
through the rifts in the leather. This
the judge did gaily, now humming a
snatch of song, now listening civilly
to Mahaffy, now replying with undis- j
turbed cheerfulness. Last of all he I
clapped his dingy beaver on his head, j
e'.vintr it an indescribably jaunty I
slant, and stepped to the door.
| "Well, wish me luck, Solomon, I'm
off?come, Hannibal!" he said.
At heart he cherished small hope of
. seeing Betty, advantageous as he felt
an interview might prove. However,
, on reaching Belle Plain, he and Hannibal
were shown into the cool parlor
j by littho Steve. It was more years
! than the judge cared to remember
since he had put his foot inside such
i a house, but with true grandeur ot
| soul he rose to the occasion; a
j sublimated dignity shone from every
I battered feature, while he fixed little
I Steve with so fierce a glance that the
grin froze on his lips.
| "You are to say that Judge Slocura
; Price presents his compliments and
, condolences to Miss Malroy?have
j you got that straight, you pinch ot
| soot?" he concluded affably. Little
i Steve, impressed alike by the judge's
i air of condescension and his easy
| flow of words, signified that he had.
! "You may also say that Judge Price's

ward, young Master Hazard, presents
his compliments and condolences?"
What more the judge might have said
was Interrupted by the entrance of
Betty, herself. . w .
"My dear young lady?" the judge
bowed, then he advanced toward her
with the solemnity or carriage and
countenance he deemed suitable to
the occasion, and her extended hand
was engulfed between his two plump
palms. He rolled his eyes heavenward.
"It's the Lord's to deal with us
as his own inscrutable wisdom dictates,"
he murmured with pious resignation.
"We are all poorer, ma'am,
that he has died?just as we were
richer while he lived!" The rich
cadence of the Judge's speech fell
sonorously on the silence, and that
look of horror which had never quite
left Betty's eyes since they saw
Charley Norton fall, rose out of their
clear depths again. The Judge, instantly
stricken with a sense of the
inadequacy of his words, doubled on
his spiritual tracks. "In a roundabout
way, ma'am, we're bound to believe
in the omnipresence of Providence?we
must think it?though a
body might be disposed to hold that
west Tennessee had got out of the
line of divine supervision recently.
Let me lead you to a chair, ma'am!"
Hannibal had slipped to Betty's
side and placed his hand in hers. The
Judge regarded the pair with great
benevolence of expression.
"He would come, and I hadn't the
heart to forbid it. If I can be of any
service to you, ma'am either In the

Respects."
capacity of a friend?or professionally?I
trust you will not hesitate to
command me?" The judge backed
toward the door.
"Did you walk out, Judge Price?"
asked Betty kindly.
"Nothing more than a healthful exercise?but
we will not detain you,
ma'am; the pleasure of seeing you Is
something we had not reckoned on!"
The judge's speech was thick and
unctuous with good feeling. He wished
that Mahaffy might have been there
to note the reserve and dignity of
his deportment.

to Hannibal.
j "I couldn't think of it, ma'am?"
j "You'll have a glass of wine, then,""
urged Betty hospitably. For the moment
she had lost sight of what was
clearly the judge's besetting sin.
Aiken.?A S30.000 stock company, to
be known as the Aiken Industrial
Company, has been formed and th?
majority of the stock subscribed to
j take over the plant and business of
| the Southern Cotton Oil Company's
i plant at Aiken, which was recently
purchased by J. T. Shuler, who has
been elected temporary president of
the new company. In addition to operating
the oil mill and a ginnery, the
new company proposes installing an
ice plant, conducting a wood and coal
business and the building of a fertilizer
plant.
Old Clock of St. Giles.
All loyal Scotsmen will learn with
regret that the well-known clock on
St. Giles' tower in Edinburgh, which
must have told the time to Scott and
Burns, is doomed to disappear. Ap*
parently a workman fell through the
case and damaged the mechanism so
badly that the civic authorities do not
consider the wornout works worth re*
pair. So the old clock will be ban*
lsbed by the city museum and re*
placed by an invisible timepiece, witl*
out hands or face, which will merely
strike the hours and leave the aesthetic
effect of the tower unspoiled.
The ancient clock of St Giles has seen

of the medieval horologes on Engllih ,

date from the fourteenth century at
Exeter, Wells and Peterborough.
