The Tocsin wan quoted on street - corners that morning, in shop and store and office, wherever people talked of the Cory murder, mid that wan every where, for the people of Canaan and Of tho country Totindnljout talked of nothing else. Women chattered of It In parlor and kitchen: men gathered In mall groups on the street and shook tliclr heads omln-.tiHly over It; farm ers, meeting on the road, halted their teams nnd loudly damned the little man In the Canaan Jail; milkmen lin gered ou back porches over their cans to agree with cooks that it was an aw ful thing and that If ever any man de terred hanging that there Fear de served lt-hl lawyer along with him. Tipsy men hammered bars with fists and beer glares, Inquiring If there waa no rope to be had In tho town, and Joe Louden, returning to hit office from the little restaurant where he sometime ate his breakfast, beard hisses following hliu along Main street. A clerk, a fut shouldered, blue apron ed, pimple cheeked youth, stood In the open doors of a grocery and fls he passed stared him In the face and said 'Yah!" with supreme disgust Joe stopped. "Why?" he asked mildly. The clerk put two fingers In his mouth and whistled shrilly In derision. "You'd ort to be run out o town!" he H E sf CANAAN i exclaimed. "I believe," said Joe, "that w hart never met before." "Go oo, yon abytterr Jo looked at him gravely. "My dear air," be returned, "you speak to me with the familiarity or an old friend." The clerk did uot recover to far aa to be capable of repartee until Jo had entered hi own atalrway, Then, wttb a bitter sneer, be telaed a bad potato from an open barrel and threw It at the mongrel, who bad paused to examine the landscape. The missile failed and Respectability, aftor bestowing a alight ly Injured look upon the clerk, followed bit master. In the office the red bearded man aut waiting. Not so red bearded a of yore, however, was Mr. Sheehan. but griaxled and gray and, tola morning, gray of face, too, as be aat, perspiring and anxious, wiping a troubled brow with a black silk handkerchief. "Here's the devil and all to pay at last, Joe," he said uneasily on the oth er's entrance. "This Is the worst I ever knew, and I bate to say It, but I doubt yer pullln' It off." "I've got to, Mike." "I hope on my soul there's a cbanst of it! I like the little man, Joe." "So do I." "I know ye do, my boy. But here's this Tocaln klcktn' up the public senti ment, and If there erer was a follerln sheep on earth Ifs that same public sentiment." "If It weren't for that" Joe flung himself heavily In a chair "there'd not be so much trouble. Ifs a clear enough case." "But. don't ye see," Interrupted Shee han. "the Tocsin's tried It and convict ed him aforehandt And that If thing keep goln' tbe way they've started to day the gran' jury' bound to indict him and the trial Jury to convict him? They wouldn't dare not to. What' more, they'll want to. And they'll rush the trial, summer or no tuinmer. and"- "I know; I know." "I'll tell ye one thing," said the oth er, wiping his forehead with the black handkerchief, "and that' this, my boy: Last night's business bat Just about put tb cap on tbe Beach fer me. I'm sick of It, and I'm tired of It I'm ready to quit, sir." Joe looked at him sharply. "Don't yon think my old notion of what might be done could be made to pay r Sheehan laughed. "Whoo! Too and yer hints. Joe! How long past bave ye come around me with 'em? 1 b'lieve ye c'd make more money, Mike" that's the way ye'd put It If ye altered the yi 4'f 1 i J, Joe Hopped. "Whyt" he risked tniWfy. Beach a bit 5Iak a little couutryHlde restaurant of If ye'd tay, 'and have good cookln', and keep the boys nnd girls from raisin' so niueb bell out there. Soon ye'd have other people eotnln' beside the regular crowd. Make a little garden on the shore, and let 'era eat at tables under trees au grape arbors'" "Well, why not?" asked Joe. "Haven't I been tellln' ye I'm think In' of It? It's only yer way of blntln' that's funny to inc, yer way of sayln' I'd make more money, bwause ye're afraid of preachln' at any of us, partly because ye know the little good It'd be and partly because ye have humor. Well, I'm thinkln' ye'll git yer way. I'm wlllln' to go Into the missionary business with ye!" "Mike!" said Joe angrily, but he grew very red nnd failed to meet the other's eye, "I'm not" "Yes, ye are!" cried Sheehan. "Yex, sir! It's a thing ye prob'ly haven't had the nerve to say to yerxelf fdnoo a boy, but that's yer notion Insldo. Ye're little better than a missionary. It took me a long while to nmlerHtand what was drlvln' ye. but I do now. And ye've gone the right way about It. because we know ye'll stand fer us n h r ii c II DeV l is II K-M r 1 when we're In trouble and fight fer a till we git a square deal, a ye're goln to fight fer Happy now." Joe looked deeply troubled. "Never mind," he said crossly and with vlalbl embarrassment "You think you could, not make more at the Beach If you ran It on my planr "I'm game to try," said Sbwhan slowly. "I'm too old to hold om down out there the way I yoosta could, and I'm sick of It-alck of It Into the very bone of me." He wiped bis forehead, "Where' Claudtner "Held at a witpw, "I'm not sorry fer bor!" said the red bearded man emphatically. "Women o that kind are to light beaded Ita a wonder they don't float Think of ber plckln op Cory 'a gun from the floor and hldbV Jt In her clothes! Took It fer granted It was Happy's and thought she'd belp him by hldtn' It! There' a hard point fer ye, Joe to prove the gun belonged to Cory. There' nobody about here could swear to It I couldn't myself, though I forced him to trick It back in his pocket yesterday. lie wat a wan derer, too, and ye'll have to tend a keen one to trace him, I'm thinkln. to find out where be got It to' ye can show It In court" "I'm going myself. I've found out that he came here from Denver." "And from where before that?" "I don't know, but I'll keep on trav eling till I get what I want." That' right, my boy." exclaimed the other heartily. "It may be a long trip, but ye're all tbe little man haa to depend oo. Did ye notice the Tocaln didn't evm give blm the credit fer gfv In' himself up?" Tea," said Joe. "It's part of their game. "Did It strike ye now," Mr. Shecban aaked earnestly, leaning forward lo hla chatr-"d!d It strike ye that tb Tocsin was almltt' more to do Happy barm because of you than himself?" "Yet." Joe looked sadly out of tbe window. "I've thought that over, and It seemed possible that I might do Happy more good by giving bis cat to some other lawyer." "No, sir!" exclaimed the proprietor of Beaver Beach loudly. "They've be gun their attack, they're bouud to keep It up, and they'd manage to turn it to tbe discredit of both of ye. Besides, nappy wouldn't have no other lawyer. Ile'd rather be hung with yon fightin fer him than be cleared by anybody else. I b'lltve It. on my soul I def But look bare," be went on, leaning still farther forward. "I want to know If It struck ye that this morning tbe Tocsin attacked ye In a way that was somehow vflentcr than ever before. "Yea," replied Joe, "because It waa aimed to atrike where It would most count" "It ain't only that," said tbe other ezcltedly-'lt ain't only that! I want ye to listen. Now, see here, the Tocsin. Is Pike, and tbe town la Plke-I mean the town ye naturally belonged to. Ain't Itr "In a way, I suppose yes." "In a way!" echoed tbe other acorn fully. "Ye know it l! Even a a boy Pike disliked ye and bated the kind of a boy ye waa. Y wasn't respectable, and be was. Ye wasn't rich, and be was. Y bad a grin on yer face when ye'd meet blm on the tweet." The red bearded man broke off at a gesture from Joe and exclaimed sharply: "Don't deny Itl I know what ye waa like! Y wasn't Impudent but ye looked at blm as If ye saw through blm. Now llaten and I'll lead ye somewhere. Ye run with riffraff. Now, I ask ye this: Ye've had one part of Canaan with ye from the itart-my part, that I-but the other1 against ye. That part' Pike, and If tbe rulln' part"- "Yes, Mike," said Joe wearily. "In tbe spirit of things. I know." "No, sir," cried the other. "That' the trouble; ye don't know. There' more In Canaan than ye've understood. Listen to this: Why was tbe Tocsin's attack harder this morning than ever before? On yer soul didn't It sound so bitter that it sounded desprlt? Now, why? It looked to me as if it bad started to ruin ye, this time fer good and all! Why? What have ye had to do with Martin Pike lately? Has the old wolf got to Injure ye?" Mr. Bbee han's voice rose and bis eyes gleamed under bushy brows. "Think," bo fin ished, "ghat's happened lately to make blm bite ho IiardV" There were some faded roses on tbe desk, and as Joe' haggard eyes fell upon them tbe answer came. "What makes you think Judge Pike Isn't trustworthy?" he had asked Ariel, and her reply had been, "Nothing very definite, unless It was his look when I told him that I meant to ask you to take charge of things for me." He got slowly and amazedly to bis feet "You've got It!" he said. "Ye see?" cried Mike Hheehau, tlap plng bis thigh with a big hand. "On my soul I have the penetration! Ye don't need to tell me one thing except this: I told ye I'd load ye somewhere. Haven't I kept me word?" . "Yes," said Joe. "But I bave tho penetration!" ex claimed Mr. Sheehan. "Should I mhis my guess If I said that ye think Pike may be scared ye'll stumble on bis track In some uuecr performances? Should I miss It?" "No," said Joe, "you wouldn't miss it" x "Just one thing more." The red bearded man rose, mopping the Inner band of bis straw hat "In the matter of yer running fer mayor, now" Joe, who bad begun to pace up and down the room, made an Impatient ges ture. "Pshaw!" he Interrupted, but bis friend stopped blm with a band laid on bis arm. "Don't be treatln' It a clean out of all possibility, Joe Louden. If y do, It shows y haven't sense to know that nobody can say what way the wind' biowln' week after next All tbe boy want y; Louie Farbacb want ye, and Louie bat a big say. Who Is It tbnt doeent want yer "Canaan," said Joe, ' "Hold up! It's Pike's Canaan ye mean. If y git the nomination ye'd be elected, wouldn't yr "In'tbeujuiluated." "I ain't claimV ye'd git Martin Pike', vote," returned Mr. Sheehan sharply, "though I don't say It's im possible, Ye've got to beat him, that' all Ye've got to do to blm what he's done to you and what be' tryln' to do now worse than ever before. Well, there may be ways to do It and If be teuiptt me enough I may ferglt my troth and honor aa a noble gcotlemau and belp ye with a word ye'd never guoM yertolf." "You've hinted at such mysteries be fore, Mike," Joe smiled.. 'I'd be glad to know what you mean If there's any thing In them." "It may come to that" Mild the other, with tome einbarratimeut ' "It way come to that some day If tb old wolf presses m too hard In tb matter o' tryln' to git the little man acrot tbe street hanged by tb neck and yertolf mobtwd fer belpln' him. But today I'll say no more." "Very well, Mike." Joe turned wearily to his desk. "I dont want you to break any promt." Mr. Boeotian had gone to the door, but bo paused on tbe threshold and wiped hi forehead again. "And I don't want to break any," be wild, "but If ever tbe time should como when I couldn't help Ifho lowered bis voice to a lion we, but piercing, whisper "that will be the devourln' angel'a day fer Martin Piker CHAPTKlt XVIII. IT was a morning of the warmest week of mid-July, ami Canaan toy Inert and bolplew beneath a broil Inir sua. The few ieoile who oioved about the street went languid ly, keeping close to the wall on the shady side; the women In tbln white fabrics: the men, often con (lens, carry ing palm leaf fans and replacing col lars wlh handkerchiefs. In tbe court house yard the maple leave, gray with blown dnst ami grown to great breadth, drooped heavily, depressing the king, motionless bnim he with thHr weight, o low that the four or Ave shabby Idlers upon tha benches beneath now and tbeo flicked them sleepily with whittled sprigs. The door and windows of the stores tood open, displaying limp ware of trade, bat few tokens of life, the clerks hanging over dim counters as far st possible from the glare In front tlping frugmentnrlly. usually shout the Cory murder and anon upon a subject suggested by tbe sight of an occasional pedestrian passing (lersplring by with scrooged eyelids and purpling akin. From street and sidewalk transparent hot wave wam up and danced them lelvet Into nothing, while from the rlv er bank' a half mile away came a sound hotter than even tbe loctist't midsummer rasp, the drone of a plan ing mllL Greater heat than that of these Mat ins day eould not have kept one of tbe sages from attending the conclave now, for the battle was on in Canaan, and hero upon the National House cor ner, under the shadow of the west wall, It wared even keener. Perhaps wa mav find full Justification for call ing what wa hnppenlng a battle In so far as we restrict the figure to apply to this one spot. Elsewhere In tho Canaan of the Towln the conflict was too one sided. The Tocsin bad Indeed tried the case of Happy Fear In ad vance, had convicted and condemned and every day gTew more bitter. Nor was the urgent vigor of It attack with out effect. Sleepy as Main street seemed in tho beat, the town wa Incensed and rous ed to a tensity of feeling It had uot known since tlie civil war, when, on occasion, It had set out to hang half a dozen "Knights of the Golden Circle." Joe had been hissed on the street many times since the Inimical clerk had whistled at him. Probably dem ntistratlona of thot sort would have continued had he remained In Canaan, but for almost a month ho bud been absent and his olllce closed, Its thresh old gray with dunt. There were peo ple who believed that lie nnu run away again, tills time never to return, among those who held to this opinion being Mrs. Louden and her sister, Joe's step-aunt. Upon only ono point was everybody ngreed-thnt twelve men could not be found In the county who could 1)0 so far persuaded and befiul tiled by Loudon Unit they would dare allow Happy Fear to escape. The women of Canaan, Incensed by the ter rible circumstances of the ease, ns the Toesln colored it a man shot down In the act of begging his enemy's forgiveness-clamored as loudly as the men. There was only the difference that the latter vociferated for the banging of Happy; their good ladles used tho word "punishment." And yet while the pluee rung with condemnation of the little man In the Jail and his attorney, there were voices Jjero and there uplifted ou the other side. People existed, It astoulshlugly appeared, who lilted Happy Fear. These were for tho grenter part ob scure and even darkling In their lives, yet quite demonstrably human beings, able to smile, suffer, leap, run and to entertain 'fancies; even to bave, ac cording to their degree, a certain rudi mentary sense of right and wrong, In splto of which they strongly favored the prisoner's acquittal, Precisely on that account It wa argued, aa ac quittal would outrage Cauaan end lay It open to untold duugvr. Such people needed a lesson. The ToetUi Interviewed the town' great ones, printing their opinions of the lieluouaues of the crime and the character of tb defendant's lawyer. "The Hou, P. J. I'arrott who to ably represented this couuty In the legisla ture torn fourteen year ago, could scarcely rest rain himself when ap proached by reporter ii to hU seutl ineuta aueut the repulsive deed.

The reporter, slightly 'puuled, lit a cigarette. "See here, Mr. Farbacb." be urged, ' I ouly waut word or two about this tblug, and you might give me a brief expression concerning that muu Louden besides. Just a blut of what you thluk of bl lutlueuce here, you kuow, and, of the klud of alurp work he practices.- Something like that" "1 tee," said tbe brewer alowly, "Happy Fear I bef kuowt for a goot many year.

"Git owlt" "Whatr "Git owlt," repeated the other with out passion, without auger, without any expression whatsoever. "Git owlt" The reporter's prejudice against tbe German nation dated from that mo ment There were others, here and there, who were less self contained than the brewer. A farmhand struck a fellow laborer In the harvest field for speak ing 111 of Joe, and tbe unraveling of a strange street fight one day disclosed as its cause a like resentment ou the I part of a blind brooiumaker, en pon dered by a like offense, The brom inn It or' companion, reading the Toe sln at the two walked together, had begun the quarrel by rornarklng thai Happy Fear ought to be hanged onci for his owu sake nnd twice more "to show up Unit shyster Louden."

George and tho dragon, and conveyed to the Jail. Keenest Investigation failed to reveal anything oblique In the man's record. To tbe astonishment of Ca naau, there was nothing against hltn. Ho was blind and moderately poor, but a respectable, hardworking artisan and a pride to the church In which he wat what has been called an "active work er." It was discovered that bis sensi tiveness to his companion's attack on Joseph Louden arose from the fact thai Joo had obtained tbe acquittal of an Imbecile siHter of the blind man, a two thirds wltted woman who had been charged with bigamy. The Tocsin made what It could of this, and so dexterously that tbe wrath of Canaan was one farther Jot increas ed ugalnst the shyster. Aye, the towu was hot, Inside and out.
