CHAPTER XXXlll.—(Continued.)
"What does this ridiculous mockery
mean?" he demanded harshly. "Mr.
Sheriff, an a member ot the bar, 1
protest! Why don't you clear the
building?" He did not wait lor Kelts
to answer htm, but c'ontlnued. "Where
Is this man Hues?"
"Yonder, colonel, by the captain
■aid Hettß.
"I have a warrant for his arrest.
You will take him into custody.'
"Watt!" cried the Judge. "1 repre
sent Mr Hues I desire 10 see that
warrant!"
Hut Fentress Ignored him. He ad
dressed the crowded benches.
"Gentlemen, It Is a serines matter
forcibly to seize a man Without author
ity from the courts .and expose hi in
to the danger of mob violence—Mr.
Hues will learn this before we have
done with htm."
Instantly there was a noisy demon
stration that swelled Into a burst of
applause, which quickly spent Itself.
The struggle seemed to have nar
rowed to an individual contest for
supremacy between Fentress and the
Judge. On the edge of the ralled-off
■pace they confronted each other: the
colonel, a tall, well-cared for pres
ence; the Judge, shabby and unkempt.
For a moment their 'eyes met, wjiiie
the Judge's face purpled and paled,
ami purpled again. The silence deep
ened. Fentress' thin Hps opened,
twitched, but no sound ctlme from
them; then his glance wavered and
tell. He turned away.
"Mr. Sheriff!" he called sharply.
"All right, colonel!"
"Take jour man Into custody," or
dered Fentress. As he spoke he hand
ed the warrant toward Hetts, who
looked at It, grinned, and stepped to
ward Hues. He would have pushed
the Judge aside had not that gentle
man, bowing civilly, made way for
bin).
in my profound respect for the law
and properly constituted authority i
yield to no man, not even to Colonel
Fentress," he said, with a gracious
gesture. "I would not place tile slight
est obstacle In the way of Ha sanc
tioned manifestation. Colonel Fen
trw>* comes here with that high sanc
tion." He bowed again ceremoniously
to the colonel. "I repeat, 1 respect his
dependence upon the law!" He whirled
suddenly. "Cavendish—Taney—Car
rtngton—l call upon you to arrest
John Murreii! Ido tnts by virtue of
the authority vested in me as a Judge
of the United States federal court.
His crime—a mere trifle, my friends—

within my Jurisdiction," and he
beamed blandly on Fentress.
It's a lie!" cried the colonel.
"You'll answer for that later!" said
the Judge, with abrupt austerity or
tone.
"For all we know you may be some
fugitive from Justice! —Why, your
name Isn't Price!"
"Are you sure of that?" asked the
judge quickly.
"You're an Impostorj Your name
Is Turbervllle!"
"Permit me to relieve your appre
hensions It is Turbervllle who has
received the appointment. Would you
like to examine my credentials? —I
have thein by me—no? I am obliged
for your introduction. It could not
have come at a more timely moment ."
The Judge seemed to dismiss Fentress
contemptuously. Once more he tared
the packed benches. "Put down your
weapons!" he commanded. "This man
Murrell will not be released. At the
first effort at rescue he will be shot
where he sits —we have sworn it —his
plotting Is at an end." He stalked
nearer the benches. "Not one chance
In a thousand remains to him, Kither
he dies here or he lives to be taken
before every Judge In the state. It
necessary, until we find one with cour
age to try him! Make no mistake-
It will best conserve the ends of Jus
tice to allow the state court's Juris
diction In this case; and I pledge my
self to furnish evidence which will
start him well on his road to the gal
lows!" The Judge, a tremendous pres
ence, stalked still nearer the benches.
Outfacing the crowd, a sense of the
splendor of the part he was being
called upon to play flowed through
him like some elixir; he felt that tie'
was transcending himself, that hlB In
spiration was drawn from thr bidden
springs of the spirit, and that he
could neither falter nor go aßtray.

his shaggy brows met In a menacing
frown—"lf they force our hand we
will toss thetn John Murrell's dead
carcass— that's our answer to their
challenge!"
lie strode out among the gun muss-
Jiles which wavered where they still
covered him. He was thinking of Ma
haffy—Mahaffy, who had said he was
still a man to be reckoned with. For
the comfort of Ills own soul ho was
proving It.
"Do you know what a servile insur
rection means?—you men who have
wives and daughters, have you
thought or their late? Of the mon
strous snvagory to which they would
be exposed? Do you believe he could
limit and control It? Look at hlni!
Why, he has never had a consldera
tlon outside of his own safety, and yet
he expects you to risk your necks to
save his! He would have left the
state before the first blow was struck
—his business was all down river—
but we are going to keep him here to
answer for his crimes! The law, as
implacable as It Is impartial, ims put
its mark on him —the shadow in
which he sits Is the shadow of the
gallows!"
The Judge paused, but the only
sound In that expectant silence was
the heavy breathing of men. Me drew
his unwleldly form erect, while his
voice rumbled on," aggressive and
threatening In Its every Intonation.
"You are here to defend something
that no longer exists. Your organ
ization Is wrecked, your signals and
passwords are known, your secrets
have become public property—'l can
even produce a list of your members;
there are none of you who do not
stand In Imminent peril—yet under
stand, I have no wish to strike at
those who have been misled or
coerced Into joining Murrells band!"
The Judge's sodden old face glowed
now with the magnanimity of hla sen
timents. "But I have no feeling of
mercy for your leaders, none for Mur
rell himself. Put down your guna!
you can only kill us after we Have
killed Murrell —but you can't kill tne
law! If the arch conspirator diea In
this room and hour, 011 whose bead
will the punishment fall?" He awung
round hla ponderous arin In a sweep
ing gesture and shook a fat but ex
pressive forefinger in the. facea of
those nearest hltn. "On yours—and
yours—and your*!"
Across the space that separated
them the Judge grinned his triumph
at his enemy. He had known when
Fentress entered the room that a
word or a algn from him would pre
cipitate a riot, but he knew now that
neither this word nor thla sign would
be given. Then quite suddenly he
strode down the aisle, and foot by
foot Fentress yielded ground before
hla advance. A murderous light
flashed from tne Judge's bloodshot
U I eyes and bis rlKbt band was stealing
Ua 1 toward tbe frayed tails of bis coat.
"Look wit —he's getting ready to
shoot!" cried a frightened voice.
Instantly by doors and windows the
crowd, seized with Inexplicable panic,
emptied Itself Into tht> court-bouse
yard. Fentress was caught up In the
rush and borne from the room and
from the building. When he reached
the graveled space below the steps be
turned. The Judge was In the door
way, the center of a struggling group;
Mr. Howen, the minister, Mr. Baul
and Mr. Wesley were vainly seeking
to pinion his arm
"Draw—damn you!" he roared at
Fentreafl. as he wrenched himself
free, and the crowd swayed to right
and left as Fentress was seen to
reach for his pistol,.
Mr. Saul made a last frantic effort
to restrain his friend; be seized the
Judge's arm Just as the letter's finger
pressed the trigger, and an Instant
later Fentress staggered back with
the Judge's bullet in his shoulder.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
Good Times Coming.
It was not strange that a number of
gentlemen In and about Kalelgh yield
ed to an overmastering Impulse to vis-
It newer lands, nor was It strange
that the Initial steps looking toward
the Indulgence of their desires should
have been taken In secrecy. Mr. Fefc
loe was one of the hrst to leave; Mr.
Haul had Informed him of the Judge's
declared purpose ot shooting hlni on
sight. Kven without useful hint
the tavern-keeper had known that he
should experience Intense embarrass
ment In meeting the Judge; this was
now a dreary certainty.
"You reckon he means near all he
says?" he had asked, bis fat sides
shaking
"I'd take his word a heap quicker
than I would most folks'," answered
Mr. Saul with conviction.
Pegloe promptly had a sinking spell,

from The Oaka to cross the rlvar;
there was reason to believe tbat Ken-,
tress had In his possession at tha
time a considerable sum of money,
and It was supposed that his com
panion had murdered and robbed htm.
Of Ware's subsequent career nothing
was ever known.
These were, after all, only episode*
In the collapse of the Clan, sporltte
manifestations of the great work of
disintegration that was going forward
and whlc-h*.the judge, more than any
other, perhaps, had brought about.
This was something no one ques
tioned, and he quickly passed to the
tlrst phase of that unique and peculiar
esteem In which he was ever after
held. His fame widened with the suc
ceeding suns: he had offers of help
which Impressed htm as so entirely
creditable to human nature that ho
quite lacked the heart to reruße them,
especially as he felt that In the Im
provement of his own condition tho
world had bettered Itself and vu
moving nearer those sound and right
eous Ideals of morality and patriotism
which had never lacked his Indorse
ment, no matter how inexpedient It
had seemet] for him to put them into
practice. Hut he was not diverted
from bis ultimate purpose by tho
glamour of a present popularity; he
was able to keep his bleared eyea
resolutely tixed on the main chance,
namely the Fentress estate and tht
Qulntard lands. It was highly Im
portant that he should go east to
South Carolina to secure documentary
evidence that would establish bis ow»
and Fentress' Identity; to Kentucky,
where Fentress had lived prior to hla
coming to Tennessee.
Karly In November the judge set
o»t by stage on his journey east; ha
was nccompanled by Yancy and Han

bring himself to be separated; and &•
