TQie old gentleman, pushing the tx

She told him breathlessly what si

charging her to repeat the story to 1

In the same direction, nearly si c mili -
?rcm where the signal was given, th .
trsi;k was crossed by a road leading
directly south t . Six Crossroads.
Y'v embankment had been newly
y bal.'r;*?vd with sand. What had bec-::
discovered was a broad brown stain in
.the sand on ti:?- south slope near the
'top. There were smaller stains above
and below, none beyond it to left or
rjgbt and there were many deep foot?
prints in the sand. Men were exam?
ining the place excitedly, talking and
^gesticulating. It was Lige Will; :ts
win* had found it. Iiis horse was
.tethered to a fence near by at the <-:n?
of a lane through a cornfield. Jared
Wiley, the deputy she rift, was talking

"You see, them two must have
Snowed about the'l o'clock freight and
that it was to stop here to take on the

and bent very far over, one hand re

to fable. From his appearance
might have known the prophets, and
wore that hoary look of unearthly w
dom which many decades of sup*
stitious experience sometimes give
members of his race. His face, so tc
tured with wrinkles that it might ba?
been made of innumerable bla<

raised his head sharply, and-the mys
tery in his gloomy eyes intensified as
t!:ey opened wide and stared at the
sky unseeingly.
! "Alfs bawn wid a ca wi!" he exclajrn.
ed loudly. His twisted frame was
braced to an extreme tension. "Ab's
bawn wid a ca wi! De blood anssub!"
"It wasn't the White Caps, Uncle
Xenophon." said Warren Smith, laying
his hand on the old man's shoulder.
Xenophon rose to bis feet. He
stretched a long, bony arm straight to
the west where the Crossroads lay:
stood rigid and silent, like a seer; then
spoke:
"De men whut shot Marse Hawk
liss lies yondeh, hidin' furn de light o'
day. An' him"-he swerved his whole
rigid body till the arm pointed north?
west-"he lies yondeh. You won' line
'im heah. Dey fought 'im in de fiel's.
an' dey druggen 'im heah. Dis whuh
dey lay 'im down. Ab's bawn wid a
ca wi!"
There were exclamations from the
listeners, for Xenophon spoke as ene
having authority. Suddenly he turned
and pointed his outstretched hand full
at Judge Briscoe.
"An* dass de main." he cried; "dass
de main kin tell yo' Ah speak de
trufe!"
Before Briscoe answered, Eph Watts
looked at him keenly and then turned
to Lige Willetts and whispered: "Get
on your horse, ride in and ring the
courthouse bell like fury. Do as I
say."
Tears stood in the judge's eyes. "It
is so," he said solemnly. "He speaks
the truth. I didn't mean to tell it to?
day, but somehow''- He paused.
"The hounds!" he cried. "They de?
serve it. My daughter saw them cross?
ing the fields in the night-saw them
climb the fence, a big crowd of them.
She and the lady who is visiting us
saw them-saw them plainly. The
lady saw them several times clear as
day by the flashes of lightning. The
scoundrels were coming this way. They
must have been dragging him with
"Ah's baum wid a cawll"
them then. He couldn't have had a
show for his life among" them. Do
what you like. Maybe they've got him
at the Crossroads. If there's a chance
of it. dead or alive, bring him back!"
A voice rang out above the clamor
that followed the judge's speech.
" 'Bring him back!' God could, may?
be, but he won't Who's travelin' my
way? I go west!" Hartley Bowlder
had ridden his sorrel right up the em?
bankment, and the horse stood between
the rails.
There was an angry roar from the
crowd. The prosecutor pleaded and
threatened unheeded, and, as for the
deputy sheriff, he declared his intention
of taking with him all who wished to
go as his posse. Eph Watts succeeded
m making himself heard above the
tumult.
"The square!" he shouted. "Start
from the square. We want everybody.
We'll need them. And we want every
one in Carlow to be implicated in this
posse."
"They will be!" shouted a farmer.
"Don't you worry about that."
"We want to get into some sort ot
shape!" cried Eph.
"Shane!" repeated Hartley Bowldei
scornfully.
There was a hiss and clang and rat?
tle behind him, and a steam whistle
shrieked. The crowd divided, and
Hartley's sorrel scrambled down just
in time as the westbound accommoda?
tion rushed by on its way to Rouen.
From the ivar platform leaned the
sherill'. Horner, waving his lannis fran?
tically as he flew hy. but no one un?
derstood or cared what he said or in
the general excitement even wondered
why be was going away. When the
train had dwindled to a dot and dis?
appeared and the noise ol' its rush
grew faint the courthouse hell was
hoard ringing, and the &iob was rush?
ing pellmell into the village to form c 1
the square. The judge stood alone on
the embankment.
"That settles it" he said aloud,
gloomily watching the last figures. Ile
took oft' his hal and pus!.cl bacK the
thick white hair from his forehead.
"Nothing to do Put wait. Might as wed
go heme lor that Blast ii:" he ex?
claimed impatiently. "I don't want to

CHAPTER IX.
LL morning horsemen laid I
been galloping through Sjx j
Crossroads, sometimes sin- |
gly, oftener in company. At
1 o'clock tin- last posse passed through
ou its return to the county seat, and I
after that there was a long. compI< te ?
silence, while the miry corners were \
undisturbed by a single hoof beat. X<> !
unkempt colt nickered from his musty !
stall. Th?1 sparse young corn that used
to 11- -<I and chuckle greenly S!<?<??1 rigid
in the fields. Up the Prattville ??ike
despairingly cackled one <>M hen. with
IN r wabbling, sailor run, sniil with a j
superstitious horror of nothing. She
hid herself in the shadow underneath
a rickety barn and was still.
Only on the Wimby farm were there
Signs .of - life. The phi lady, who had
---->
sent i?arkless roses sat by the window
all morning and wiped her eyes, watch?
ing the horsemen ride by. Sometimes
they would hail ber and tell her there
was nothing yet. About 2 o'clock her
husband rattled up in a buckboard and
got out the shotgun of the late and
more authentic Mr. Wimby. This he
carefully cleaned and oiled in spite of
its hammerless and quite useless con?
dition, sitting meanwhile by the win?
dow opposite his wife and often look?
ing up from his work to shake his
weak fist at his neighbors' domiciles
and creak decrepit curses and denun?
ciations.
Dut the Crossroads was ready. It
knew what was coming now Fright?
en:^, desperate, sullen, it was ready.
Tiia afternoon wore on. and lengthen?
ing shadows fell upon a peaceful-one
would have .said a sleeping-country.
The sun dried pike, already dusty,
stretched its serene length between
green borders flecked with purple and
yellow and white weed flowers, and
the tree shadows were not ?jade, but
warm blue and lavender giows in the
?eneral pervasion of still, bright light:
ia:1 sky curving 'its dwp.'uhlJmTilCi?d.
penetrable blue over all. with no sin?
gle drift of fleece upon it to be refiect
:? in the creek that wound along past
willow and sycamore, dimpled but un
murmmirig. A woodpecker's telegra
! phy broke the quiet like a volley of
pistol SliCtS.
Dut far eastward on the pike there
slowly developed a soft, white base,
it grew douser and larger and grad?
ually rolled nearer. Dimly behind i;
eouid be discerned a darker, moving
nucleus that extended far back upon
the road.
A heavy tremor began-to stir the air:
faint, manifold sounds, a waxing, in?
creasing, multitudinous rumor.
The pike ascended a long, slight slope
leading west up to the Crossroads,
'.'rom a thicket of ironweed at the
foot of this slope was thrust the visage
of an undersized girl of fourteen. Her
horco eyes examined the approaching
cloud of dust intently. A redness rose
under the burnt yellow skin and col?
ored the wizened eheeks.
They were coming.
She stepped quickly out of the tangle
and darted up the road. She ran witl
the speed of a fieet little terrier, not
opening her lips, not calling out. but
holding her two thin hands high above
her head: that was all. But Birnam
wood was come to Dunsinane at last
and the messenger sped. Out of tht
weeds in the corner of the snake fence
in the upper part of the rise, silently
lifted the heads of men whose sallow
ness became a sickish white as the child

A Judicious Inquiry.
*A well known traveling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
wnether it was wanted for a child or
for an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham?
berlain's Cough Remedy. The rea?
son for this is that they know there
is no danger from it and that it al?
ways cures. There is not the least
danger in giving it. and for coughs,
colds and croup it is unsurpassed.
