Couples worked their way arm in arm through the thickest crowds, never sepa? rating. Even at the lemonade stands they drank holding the glasses in their outer hands. Such are the sacrifices demanded by "etiquette. But, observ? ing the gracious outpouring of fortune troon the rare rustic just mentioned, a j-onth in a green tie disengaged his nrm-for the first time in two hours from that of a girl who looked upon him with fond, uncertain smiles and. conducting her to a corner of the yard, bade her remata there until he return? ed He had to speak to Hartley -Bowl? der, he explained. t Then he plunged, red faced and ex? cited, into the circle about the shell manipulators and offered to lay a wa? ger. **Hol' on there, Hen Fentriss," thickly Objected a flushed young man beside him. *Tss my turn." "I'm first, Hartley," returned the oth? er. "You can hold yer hosses, I reckon." "Plenty fer each and all. gents," in . terrupted one of the shell men. "Place yer spondulies on de little ball.

Who's de nea? lucky gent?' 'Fentriss edged slowly out of the cir? cle, abashed and with rapidly whiten? ing cheeks. He paused for a moment j outside, slowly realizing that all his doney had gone in one wild, blind "Whirl-the money he had earned so bard and saved so hard to make a holi? day for his sweetheart and himself. He stole one glance around the building to where a patient figure waited for him. Then he fled down a side alley and soon j was out upon the country road, tramp? ing soddenly homeward through the dust his chin sunk in his breast and his hands clinched tight at his sides. Now sud then he stopped and bitterly hurl? ed a stone at a piping bird on the fence or gay bobwhite in the fields. At noon j the patient figure was still waiting in the corner of, the courthouse yard, meek? ly twisting.a.coral ring upon her finger. | ? But the flushed young man who had j Spoken thickly to her deserter drew an envied roll of bank bills from his pock? et and began to bet with tipsy caution, while the circle about the gamblers watched with fervid interest, especially Mr. Bardloek. town marshal. From far up Main street came the cry "She's a-comin'! She's a-comin!" ?nd this announcement'of the parade proving only one of a dozen false ?lamas a thousand discussions took place over old fashioned silver time? pieces as to when "she" was really due. Schofields' Henry was much appealed to ss an arbiter in these discussions, from a sense of his having a good deal to do with time in a general sort of Way, and thus Schofields' came to be leminded that it was getting on toward IO o'clock, whereas, in the excitement Of festival, he had not yet struck 0. This, rushing forthwith to do. he did. ?nd. in the elation of the moment, seven or eight beside. Miss Helen Sherwood Was looking down on the mass of shift? ing color from a second story window of the courthouse, and she had the pleasure of seeing Schofields' emerge on the steps beneath her when the bells bad done and heard the cheers (led by Mr. Martin) ; with which the crowd greeted his appearance after the per? formance of his feat. She turned beamingly to Harkless. "What a family it is!" she laughed. ^xTnst one big. jolly family! I didn't ?ucw people could be like this until I same to Flairville." "That i3 the word for it." he said, resting bis hand on the casement be? side her. "I csed to think it was deso? late, but that was long ago." He lean =ed from the window to look down, la t's dark cheek was a glow the Carlow ?olks had never seen there, and some? how he seemed less thin and tired than Osual; indeed, he did not seem tired ai ?ll, by far the contrary, and he carried ?iii?se?f upright when he was no: stooping to s-e under the hat. though sot as if be tliou^hi about it. "I be j Sieve they are the best people 1 know," j he "went-on.

And why not V" "It was a girl from Southeast Cotton &ridge. Mass.," said Helen, "who heard ? was from Indiana and asked me ii ? didn't 'bate to live so far away from things.' " There was a pause while she leaned out of the window with her face iaside from him. Then she remarked carelessly. "I met her at Winter Har? bor." "Do you go to Winter Harbor?" he ?Eked.

"The process is coming. Look at the people !" . The parade had seized a psycholoj al moment. There was a fanfare trumpets in the east Lines of peo rushed for the streets, and as one lo ed down on the big straw hats a sunbonnets and many kinds of fii head apparel tossing forward tl seemed like surf sweeping up the lc beaches. She was coming at last 1 boys whooped in the middle of 1 street. Some tossed their arms heaven, others expressed their emoti by somersaults; those most deej moved walked on their hands. In 1 distance one saw over the heads of t multitude tossing banners and t moving crests of triumphal cars, wh( "cohorts were shining in purple a geld." There was another, nourish of mus Then all the band gave sound, ar with the blare of brass and the ora of drums, the glory of the parade bm upon Plattville. Glory in the utinos The impetus of the march time mus the flare of royal banners, the smilh of beautiful court ladies and great sil en nobles, the swaying of howdahs < camel and elephant and the awesor shaking of the earth beneath the el phant's feet and his devastating e; (every one declared he looked tl alarmed Mr. Bill Snoddy, stoutest ci zen of the county, full in the face as 1 passed him, and Mr. Snoddy felt not ; all reassured when Tom Martin sever ly hinted that it was with the threate ing glance of a rival); then the bac nage of the clown, creaking by in h -donkey cart; the terrific recklessness < the spangled hero who was draw along in a cage with two striped tige; -the delight of all this glittering pom and pageantry needed even more tba walking on your hands to express. Last of all came the tooting calliope followed by swarms of boys as it ex< cuted "Wait Till the Clouds Roll B: Jennie," with infinite gusto. When it had gone Miss Sherwood' gaze, relaxed-she had been looking o as eagerly as any child-and s^e turne to speak to Harkless and rtiscovere that he was no longer in the room. Ir stead she found Minnie and Mr. Wi letts, whom he had summoned froi: another window. "He was called away," explains Lige. "He thought he'd be back befor the parade was over and said you wer enjoying it so much he didn't want t speak to you." "Called away?" Minnie laughed. "Oh, everybody send fer Mr. Hark less." "It was a farmer name of Bowlder.' added Mr. Willetts. "His son Hartley ' drinking again, and there aiD't any on but Harkness can do anything wit! him. You let him tackle a sick man nurse or a tipsy feller to handle, ant. tell you." Mr. Willetts went on. wi:! enthusiasm, "he is at home.

Something^ happened !" There was a swirl in the crowd be low. Men.were running around a cor .,<.,. 0f courthouse, and the womer sind children were harking after. The* went fast and there were so man? nf teem that immediately that whole : or??on cf the yard became a pushing, tu;.?:'nu. squirming jam of people. "it's or th? other side." said Lige. "We can see from the hail window, rowe quick before these other folks til! ?? Ki).*" i i( ? followed bim across the build . ..: : ad looked down on an agitauv \..of faces. Five men were stand Ki i the en ira nee steps to the doo ; v. A.- th fm. and the crowd was thiel; i v massed beyond. leaving a little semi j .Vole clear about the steps. Those !>-... .dud struggled to get closer and leaped ! u the air to catch a glimpse of wli.r vas going on. Harkless stood alone <-; \.e top step, his hand refiting on the ilmuider of the paie and contrite sind ./tit-red Hartley. On the lowest step ,\VA B:irds<H*k was standing with sheep .si.ly Lunging head und between him :..KI Harkless the two gamblers of the walnut shelis. The journalist held in his hand the implements of their pro? fession. "Yes; give up every cent." he said quietly. "You've taken $?>? from this I boy. Hand ii over." The men began to edge down closer to the crowd, giving little, swift, des perate, searching looks from left to right and right to If ft and moving nerv? ously about like weasels in a trap. "Close up, there," said Harkless. "Don't let them out." can't we git no square treat? ment here?" one of the gamblers whin? ed. But his eyes blazed with a rage that belied the plaintive passivity Gi bis tone. "We ain't been run nin* no skin. Wy d'ye say we goiter give up our own money? You gotter prove it was a skin. We risked our money fair." "Prove it! Come up here, Eph Watts. Friends" - the editor turnftl to the crowd, smiling-"friends, here's a man we ran out of town once because he knew too much about things of this sort He's come back to us again, and j he's here to stay. He'll give us au ob? ject lesson on the shell game." "It's pretty simple," remarked Mr. Watts. "The best way is to pick up j the ball with your second linger and j the back part of your thumb, as you pretend to lay the shell down over it this way." He illustrated and showed several methods of manipulation with professional sang froid, and as he made plan the vulgar swindle by which many had been duped that morning there arose an angry and threatening murmur. "You all see," said Harkless, raising his voice, "what a simple cheat it is an old, wornout one. Yet a lot of you lost your own money on it and then stood by. staring '"like idiots, and let Hartley Bowlder lose $86, and not one of you lifted a hand. How hard did you work for what these two cheap crooks took from you? Ah," he cried, "it is because you were greedy that they robbed you so easily! You know it's true. It's when you want to get ? something for nothing that the 'con? fidence men* steal the money you sweat for and make you the laughingstock of the country. And you. Jim Bard lock, town marshal; you, who con? fess that you 'went in the game CO cents' worth' yourself"- His face was wrathful and stern as he raised his ac? cusing haEd and leveled it at the un? happy municipal. The town marshal smiled uneasily and deprecatingly about him and, see? ing only angry, frowning brows, hear? ing only words of condemnation, passed his hand unsteadily over his fat mus? tache, shifted from one ieg to the other and back again, looked up. looked down, and then, an amiable and pleas? ure loving man, beholding nothing but accusation and wrath in heaven and earth and wishing nothing more than to sink into the waters under the earth, but having no way of reaching them, and finding his troubles quite . unbearable and himself unable to meet the manifold eye of man, he sought re? lief after the unsagacious fashion of a larger bird than he. His burly form underwent, a series of convulsions not unlike sobs, and he shut his eyes tight and held them so, presenting a picture of misery unequaled in the memory of "Voie, you, a man elected to" any spectator. The editor's outstretch? ed hand began to shake. "You," te tried, to continue; "you, a man erected to" Thcre came from the crowd the sound cf a sad. high keyed voice drawling. "That's a nice vest Jim's got on. but ii ain't hardly the feathers fitten for an ostrich, is it?" Harkless broke Into a ringing laugh and turned to the shell men. "Give up the boy's money. Hurry." "Step down here and git it," said the one who had spoken. There was a turbulent motion in the crowd, and a cry arose: "Run 'em out! Ride 'em on a rail! Tar and feathers! Run 'em out o' town!" "I wouldn't dillydally long if I were you,".said Harkless. A roll of bills was sullenly placed in his hand, which h* counted and turned over to tho eider Rowlder. One of the shell men clutched the editor's sleeve with his dirty hand. "We hain't done wi' youse." he said loarwly. "Don't belief it not for a ninute, see?" The town marshal opened his eyes briskly anil, placing a hand on each o? the gamblers, said. "I do hereby arrest your said persons and declare you my prisoners." The cry arose again louder: "Run 'em out! Siring 'em up! Hang 'ern! Hang them!" And a forward rush was made. "This way. Jim. Quick!" critd Hark? less. bending down and jerking one OT the gamblers half way up the sieps. "Get through the hall to the other side and then run 'em to the lockup. No one will stop you that way. Watts ann I will ho!d i!iis door." l?ardicck hu :dcd his prisoners through the doorway, and the crowd pushed up the steps, while Harkless st niggled to keep the vestibule elear until Watts the double doors closed. "Stand ..ack. there!" he shouted. "It's all over. Don't be foolish. The law is good enough for us. Stand back, will you?" Ile was shoving vigorously with open hand and elbow, when a compact little group of men suddenly dashed up the steps together, and a heavy stick swung out over their heads. A straw hat with a gay ribbon sailed through the air. The editor's long arms went out swiftly from his body ir several directions, the hands not open, but clinched and hard. The next instant he and Mr. Watts stood alone on the steps, and a man with a bleeding, blas? pheming mouth dropped his stick and tried TO lose himself in the crowd. Mr. Watts was returning something he had not used to his hip pocket. "Prophets of Israel!" exclaimed Wil? liam Todd ruefully. "It wasn't Kph Watts' pistol. Did you see Mr. Hark less ? I was up on thom steps when he begun. I don't believe he needs as much takin' care of as we think." "Wasn't it one of them Crossroads devils that knocked his hat off?" asked Judd Bennett. "I thought I see Bob Skillett run up with a club." Harkless threw open the doors be? hind him. The hall was empty. "You may come in now," he said. "This isn't my courthouse." CHAPTER VI. HEY walked slowly back along the pike toward the brick house. He was stooping very much as they walked. He wanted to be told that he could look at her for a thousand years. The small, face was rarely and exquisitely mod? eled, but perhaps just now the salient characteristic of her beauty (for the salient characteristic seemed to be a different thing at different times) was the coloring, a delicate glow under the white skin, a glow that bewitched bim in its seeming to reflect the rich bene? diction of the noonday sun that blazed overhead. Once he had thought the way to the Briscoe homestead rather a long walk, but now the distance sped malignantly. Strolled they never so slow, it was less than a "young bird's flutter from a wood." With her acquiescence he rolled a cigarette, and she began to hum light? ly the air of a song, a song of ineffably gentle, slow movement. That, and a reference of the morning and perhaps the smell of his tobacco mingling with the fragrance of her roses, awoke again the old reminis? cence of the night before. A clearly outlined picture rose before him-the high green slopes and cool cliff walls of the coast of Maine and the sharp little estuary waves he lazily watched through half closed lids while the pale smoke of his cigarette blew out under the rail of a waxen deck where he lay cushioned. And again a woman pelted his face with handfuls of rose petals and cried: "Up. lad. and at 'em! Yon? der is Winter Harbor!" Again be sat in the oak raftered casino, breathless with pleasure, and heard a young girl sing the "Angel's. Serenade." a young girl who looked so bravely unconscious of the big, hushed crowd that listened, looked so pure and- bright and gentle and good, that he had spoken of her as "Sir Galahad's little sister." He had been much taken with this child, but he had not thought of her from that time to this, he supposed. He had al? most forgotten her. No! Her face suddenly stood out to his view as though he saw her with his physical eye. a sweet and vivacious child's face, with light brown hair and gray eyes and a short upper lip like a curled rose leaf.1 And the voice He stopped short "You are Tom Meredith's little cousin." "The great Harkless." she answered and stretched out her hand to him. "I rerr ^ruber you." "Isn't it time?" "Ah, but I never forgot youl" he cried. "I thought I had. I didn't know who it was I was remembering. I thought it was fancy, and it was mem? ory. I never forgot your voice, sing? ing, and I remembered your face, too. though I thought T didn't." He drew a deep breath. "That was why" "Tom has not forgotten you," she said as he paused. "Would you mind shaking hands once more?" he asked. She gave him brr hand again. "With all my heart. Why?" "I'm making a record of it; that's all. Thank you." "They called me 'Sir Galahad's lit? tle sister' all one summer because the great John Harkless called me that. You danced with me in the evening." "Did I?" "Ab." sbe said, shaking her bead, "you were too busy being in love with pretty Mrs. Yan Skuyt to remember a waltz with only me! \ I was allowed to meet you as a reward for singing my very best, and you-you bowed with the indulgence of a grandfather and asked me to dance." "Like a grandfather! How young I was then! How time changes us!" "I'm afraid my conversation did not make a great impression upon you," she continued. "lint it aia. i am remembering very ;ast If you will wait a moment I will tell you some of the things you said." The girl laughed merrily. Whenever .die laughed he realized that it was be? coming terribly diflieult not to tell her how adorable she was. "I wouldn't risk it if I were you." she warned him. "because I didn't speak to y?u at all. I I shut my lips tight and trembled all over every bit of the time I w-*s danc? ing with you. I did not sleep ihat night, and I was unhappy, wondering what the great Harkless would think of me. I knew he thoug'-.t me unutter? ably stupid because I couldn't talk to him. I wanted to send him word that I knew I had bored him. I couldn't endure that he shouldn't know that 1 knew I had. But he was not thinking of me in any way. Ile had gone to sea again in his white boat, the un? grateful pirate, cruising with Mrs. Yan Skuyt." "How time does change us!" said .lohn. "You are wrong, though. I did think of you. I have al" "Yes," she interrupted, tossing her head in airy travesty of the stage co? quette, "you think so-I mean, you say so-now. Away with you and your blarneying!"
