Tom rubbed his sticky eyelids a
shook his head violently in a Spart
^effort to rouse himself, but what m<
affectively performed the task for h
"were certain sounds that issued fr<
HarkJess' room across the hall. I
-some minutes Meredith had been du
conscious of a rustie and stir in t
3rtTa?d's chamber, and he began
?ea??ze that no 'mere tossing upon
bed would account for a noise th
. leached him across a wide hall a
through two closed doors of thick w;
amt. Soddenly he heard a quick, hea
tread, shod, in Harkless' room, an.i
eesoxmding bang as some heavy obje
struck the floor. The doctor wa^ n

His companion slung a light overcoat

with both feet-and kicked the i:as:^ in;
the lock, while a very elegant}

ran madly at the gates, flourishing
their passports. The official on duty
eyed them wearily. "Been gone two
minutes," he remarked with a peace?

Harkless stamped his foot o? the ce?
ment flags; then he stood stock still,
gating at the empty tracks, but Mere?
dith turned to him, smiling. "Won't it
keep?" he asked.
"Yes, it will keep," John answered.
"Part of it may have to keep till elec?
tion day, but some of it I will settle
before night. And that," he cried be?
tween his teeth, "and that is the part
of it in regard to young Fisbee!"
"Oh, it's about H. Fisbee, is it?"
"Yes, it's H. Fisbee."
"Well, we might as well go up and
?see what the doctor thinks of you;
there's no train."
"I don't want to see a doctor again
ever-as long as I live. I'm as well as
anybody."
Tom burst out laughing and clapped
his companion lightly on the shoulder,
his eyes dancing with pleasure. "Upon
my soul," he cried, "I believe you are.
A miracle wrought by the witch wand
of indignation! That's rather against
tradition, isn't it? Well, let's take a

"Meredith," said the other, turning to
him gravely, "you may think me

CHAPTER XIV.
|HE accommodation train wan?
dered down through the aft?
ernoon sunshine, stopping at
every village and every coun?
try postoffice on the line. There was a
passenger in the smoker who found
.he stops at these wayside hamlets in?
terminable. He got up and paced the
.lisip now and then, and his companion
reminded him that this was not cer
. 1 ii to hasten the hour of their arriva!
: their destination. "I know that."
answered he, "but I've got to beat
McCune."
"By the way," observed Meredith,
"you left your stick behind."
" You don't think I need a club to
Tom choked. "Oh, no; I wasn't think
in.*-, of your giving ll. Fisbee a beating, j
? meant to lean on."
"I don't want ii. Tv,) got to walk I
lame all my life, but Fm not going to
bobble on a stick."'
Tom looked at him sadly for a mo?
ment It was true, and the Crossroad
rs mjgbt hug themselves in their
cells over the thought. For the rest of
1rs life John Harkless was to walk
vitlj just the limp they_ themselves ?
would lia ve h?d~?i7 as"m~?ofmeT
their sentence had been to the ba
chain.
"Sit down, boy, sit down,"
Meredith, and his friend obeyed.
The window was open beside th
young men, and the breeze that
in soothed like a balm, yet held a
and spice in it, a hint of walnut:
! of coming frost. There was a ne^
in the atmosphere that day, a t
Invigoration, that set the blood
gling. The hot months were done
languor was routed. Autumn spo
! industry, told of the sowing of an
harvest, of the tawny shock, o:
purple grape, of the red apple, and
ed upon muscle and laughter, br
ing gayety into men's hearts. The
stations hummed with bustle and i
big farm wagons rattled off up th
l?ge streets and raced with "cut ui
or omnibus; people walked with (
steps; the baggagemasters c
cheerily to the trainmen, and
brakemen laughed goodbys to TO
ing girls. At times the train rai
tween shadowy groves, and del
landscape vistas, framed in bran?
opened, closed and succeeded each
er, and then the travelers were cai
beyond into the level open again
looked out to where the intensely
September skies ran down to the
horizon, meeting the boundless a
of corn. It takes a long time for
full beauty of the flat lands to rea
man's soul. Once there, nor hills,
sea, nor growing fan leaves of r.
shall sufSce him. It is like the bei
in the.word Indiana. It may be

Indiana a beautiful word, but le
ring true in your ears, and it ha
richer sound than Vallombrosa.
All at once the anger ran out of J
Harkless. He was a hard mau
anger to tarry with. And in place c
a strong sense of home coming be
to take possession of him. He was
ing home. "Back to Plattville, whe
belong," he said to himself without
terness, and it was the truth. "Ev
man cometh to his own place in
end."
Yes. as one leaves a gay acquainta

The unfolding aisles of corn swai
pleasantly before his eyes. The earl
hearkened to man's wants and answe

the industrious horse that had earne
his meed. There was the straw thatcl

chard boughs bent with their burden;
The big red barns stood stored wit
the harvest, for this was Carlow com
ty, and he was coming home.
They crossed a byroad. An old ma
with a streaky gray chin beard wa
sitting on a sack of oats in a seatles
wagon waiting for the tra4n to pas?
Harkless seized his companion excitec
'7 by the elbow. "Tommy," he cri?e
"it's Kim Fentriss! Look! Did yo
*>e that old fellow?"
j sa v.- a particularly unintereste
ana resting gentleman sitting o:
u bag, replied his friend.
I "V,*hy rfcat*s Kimball Fentriss
Kc's going tc tov, s. He lives on th
edge of the com ty. *
"Can this be ?ne?" said M-redit)
gravely.
"I wonder," said , :'.
fully a few momt. later- ?
why he had them changed aron*
"Who changed around?''
"The team. He always used to
the bay on the near side and the so:
rel on the off."'
"And at present," rejoined Meredith
**I am to understand that he is driving
the sorrel on the near side and the ba:
on the off?"
I "That's it," returned the other. "IL
i must have worked them like that foi
some time, because they didn't lool
uneasy. They're all right about tlx
! train, those two. I've seen them stanc
with their heads almost against a fas)
freight. See there." He pointed to ?
white frame farmhouse with green
blinds. "That's Win Hibbard's. We're
just outside of Beaver."
"Beaver? Elucidate Beaver, boy."
"Beaver? Meredith, your informa?
tion ends at home. What do you know
of your own state if you are ignorant
i of Beaver? Beaver is that city of Car?
low county next in importance and
population to Plattville."
Tom put his hoad out of the window.
"I fancy you arc right," ho said. "I
already see five people lhere."
Meredith had observed i lie change in
his companion's mood. He liad watched
him closely all day, looking for a re?
turn of his malady, but he came io
conclusion that in truth a miracle had
been wrought, for thc lethargy was
gone and vigor seemed to increase in
Harkless with every turn of thc wheels
that brought them nearer Prattville,
;::?v? thc nearer they drew io Pint:
tho hillier the spirits of both th? ye
men rose. .Meredith knew what
happening there, and lie began to
little excited. As he had said. ?
were five people visible at Beaver,
he wondered where they lived, as
only building in sight was the stal
md to satisfy his curiosity he wal
.HIT to the vestibule. The little sta
stood in the woods, and brown lea
whirled along the platform. One of
five people was an old lady, and she
tered a rear car. The other four w
men. One of them handed the <
ductor a telegram. Meredith heard
official say: "All right. Decorate alic
I'll bold it five minutes."
The man sprang up the steps of
smoker and looked in. He turned
Meredith. "Do you know if that 5
tierna n in the gray coat is Mr. Ha
less? He's got his back this way, i
I don't want to go inside. The air i:
smoker always gives me a spell."
"Yes. that's Mr. Harkless."
The man jumped to the platfoi
"All right, boys," he said. "Rip :
out!"
The doors of the freight room w
thrown open, and a big bundle of <
ored stuffs was dragged out and hast
unfolded. One of the men ran to 1
farther end of the car with a strip
red, white and blue bunting and ta
ed it securely, while another faster

windows the sides of the car wc

Meredith's heart was beating fa
j "What's it all about?" he asked.
"Picnic down the line," answered t
man in charge, removing a tack frc
I his mouth. He motioned to the cc
j ductor, "Go ahead!"
j The wheels began tomove; the dc
orators' remainecT on the ~sta7io~n ph
/form, letting the train pass them, b
J Meredith, craning his neck from tl
steps, saw that they jumped on tl
last car.
"What's the celebration?" ask?
Harkless when Meredith returned.
"Picnic down the line," said Mer
dith.
"Nipping weather for a picnic. A b
cool, don't you think? One of those fe
lows looked like a friend of min
Homer Tibbs, or as Homer might loc
if he were in disgrace. He had his bj
hung on his eyes, and he slouched lil
a thief in melodrama as he tacked n
the bunting on this side of the car.
He continued to point out varioc
familiar places, finally breaking or
enthusiastically as they drew nearc
the town: "Hello! Look there^-beyon
'the grove yonder! See that house?"
"Yes, John."
"That's the Bowlders'. You've got t

"I'd Kke to."
"The kindest people in the woric

We'll go uptown with Judd Bennett i?
the omnibus, and you'll know how ;
rapid fire machine gun sounds. I wan
to go straight to the Herald ornee," b
finished, with a suddenly darkening
brow.
"After all, there may be some ex
planation." Meredith suggested with J
little hesitancy. "H. Fisbee migb
turn out more honest than you think."
Harkless threw his head back an<
laughed. "Honest! A man in the paj
of Rodney McCune! Well, we can le
it wait till we get there. Listen
There's the whistle that means we're
getting near home. Why, there's ar

"So it is."
"And another-three, five, seven
seven in sight at once! They tried il
three miles south and failed, but you
can't fool Eph Watts, bless him! 1
want you to know Watts."
They ran by the outlying houses ol
the town amid a thousand descriptive
exclamations from Harkless, who wish?
ed Meredith to meet every one in Car?
low. But he came to a pause in the
I middle of a word. "Do you hear mu?
sic." he asked abruptly, "or 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 heard it for a minute

tani; '2 io yards east of the sta?
tion, und Ciieir uncertainty was at an
end. From jmewhere down the track
came the detonating boom of a cannon.
There was a clash of brass, and 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!"
The cannon fired again, and there
came a cheer from 3.000 throats, the
shouters all unseen. The riverine cough?
ed and panted, the train rolled on, and
in another moment it had stopped
alongside the station in the midst of :i
riotous jam of happy people who were
waving Hags and banners and handker?
chiefs and tossing their hats high in
the air and shouting themselves hoarse.
The band played in dumb show, lt
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 ii. Before the train stopped .
they had rushed eagerly up the steps j
and entered the car. Harkless wa? on !
