Even his father Ignores him, and he Is refused accom modations at the National House. IX Joe is welcomed at the "Beach," and "Happy Fear," one of Joe's admirers, seriously assaults Nashville Corey, a detractor. At the end of Happy's term In prison he visits Joe, who now has a law office on the square, with a living room adjoining. Joe has a large prac Men.

She has seen Joe as she alighted from the train and, realbs-j Ing his condition, had escorted him home after exacting from him a prom ise to meet her the next day (Sunday) across the Main-street bridge at noon. Joe learns that Ariel is stopping at Judge Pike's home, the Judge having entire charge of her money, etc. Xn Eugene Bantry, although engage J to Mamie, Is much smitten with Ariel's charms.

While there Happy Fear rushes in and announces that he hag killed Nashville Cory in self de fense. Joe makes Happy give himself up. XVI Mamie Pike admits to Ariel that she, too has begun to believe in Joe Louden. CHAPTER XVHI-Continued Let us consider the forum. Vas there ever before su-h si summer for the National Hic corner? How voices first tlr'u lore ! there, then cracked and piped, is not to be ren dered in all tliu tales 'if the fathers. One who would make vivid the great doings must Indeed "dip bis brush lu earthquake and cil !." Even then he could but picture the credible and must despair of this the silence of Eskew Arp. Not that Eskew held his tongue, not that be was chary of speech no! O tempora, 0 mores! No! But that he refused the subject in hand, that he eschewed expression up on It and resolutely drove the argu ment In other directions, that he achieved such superbly un-Arpllko In consistency, and with such rich mate rial for his sardonic humors, not at arm's length, not even so far as bis finger tips, but beneath his very palms, he rejected It. This was the impossible fact, Eskew there Is no option but to de clarewas no longer Eskew. It Is the truth. Since the morning when Ariel Tabor came down from Joe's office, leaving her offering of white roses In that dingy, dusty, shady place, Eskew had not been himself. His comrades observed It somewhat In a physical dif ference, one of those alterations which may come upon men of his years sud - H E denly. like a "sea change." Ills face was whiter, his walk slower, his voice filed thinner, lie creaked louder when he rose or aat. Old always from his boyhood, he bad In the turn of a hand become aged. But such things come and such things go. After eighty there are up tnd downs. People fading away one week bloom out pleasantly the next and resiliency Is not at all a patent belonging to youth alone. The material change In Mr. Arp might have been thought little worth remarking. What caused Peter Bradbury, Squire Buckalew and the colonel to shake their heads secretly to one another and wonder If their good old frlendl mind had not "begun to go" was something very different To come straight down to It he not only abstained from all argument upon the "Cory murder" and the case, of Happy Fear, refusing t discuss either In any terms or under any circumstances, but he also declined to speak of Ariel Tabor or of Joseph Louden or of their affairs, singular or plural, masculine, feminine or neuter, or in any declension. Not a word com mittal or noncommittal. None! And his face when he was silent fell Into sorrowful and troubled lines. The voices of the fathers fell to the pitch of ordinary discourse; the drowsy town was quiet again; the whine of the planing mill boring Its way through the staling air to every wakening ear. Far away on a quiet street it sounded faint ly, like the hum of a bee across a creek, and was drowned In the noise ot men at work on the old Tabor bouse. It seemed the only busy place In Canaan that day, the shade of the big beech trees which surrounded It affording tome shelter from the destroying sun to the dripping laborers who were saw lug. hammering, painting, plumbing, paperiug and ripping opeu old and new packing boxes. There were many changes in the old house pleasantly In keeping with Its simple character n I ry enlargements now almost completed so that some of the rooms were already finished and stood, furnished and Im maculate, ready for tenancy. In that which had been Roger Ta bor's studio sat Ariel, alone. She bad caused some chests and cases stored there to be opened and bad taken out of them a few of Roger's canvasses and set tbem along the wall. Tears filled I wnnl to know," tie pursued, "why li win Kept secret )rom me." I l.n 1,.,.lL.l V..m ut i,rr ., ' .. ... .... me iragray 01 moor lue uiu wuu n.m expended upon them, but she felt the 1 recompense. Hard, tight, literal s," thay were, he had bad his moment of Joy In each of them before be saw them coldly and knew the truth. And he had been given his yeare of Paris ! at last and had seen "how the other fellows did It." i A heavy foot strode through the hall, , coming abruptly to a halt lu the door- way, aud, turning, she discovered Mar- tin Pike, his big Henry VIII. face flushed more with anger than with the heat. Ills h:it was upon his head and remained there, nor did he offer any token or word of greeting whatever, but demanded to know when the work upon the house bad been begun. i "The second morning after my re- turn," she answered. "I want to know," he pursued, "why It was kept secret from me, and I want to know quick." "Secret?" she echoed, with a wave of her hand to Indicate the noise which the workmen were making. "Upon whose authority was it be gun?" "Mine. Who else could give It?" "Look here," he said, advancing to ward her, "don't try to fool me! You haven't done all this by yourself. Who hired these workmen?" llemeralierlng her first Interview with him, she rose quickly before be could come near ner.', "nr. Louueu maue, most of th. niTHneemmits for me." she 1 replied quietly, "before he went away, ) W ftJ w ' He will take chaw "r everything when he return. You haven't forgot ten that I told you I Intended to place ; my affair lu hit hands J" Ho had started forward, but at this j he stopped and stared at bor Inartlcu 1 lately. j "You remember!" she tnld, her baud resting negligently upou the buck of 1 the chair. "Surely you remember"?" i Slio was not In the least afraid of him, but coolly watchful of him. mm had been her, habit with him since her return. She had teen little of him ex cept at table, when he was usually grimly laconic, though now and then ah would hear him Joking heavily with Sam Warden In the yard, or, with evidently humorous Intent, groaulng at Mamie over Eugene's health; but It had not escaped Ariel that he was ou his part watchful or herself ami upou hi guard. He did not answer her question, and It seemed to her at she continued steadily to meet hi hot eye that be was trying to hold himself under tome measure of control, and a vain effort It proved. "You go back to my house!" be burst out shouting hoarsely. "You get back there! You atay titer!" No," th said, moving between him and the door. "Mamlt and I ar going for drive." I "You go back to my house!" He fol-' lowed her, waving au arm fiercely at ' her. "Don't you come around here ' trying to run over me! You talk about ( your 'affair! All you've got ou earth I this two tor a nickel old aback over ' your bead and a bushel baaket of dla tlllery stock that you can tell by th pound tor old paper!" He threw the words In her face, the bull bass voice earned and cracked with falsetto. "Old paper, old rags, old Iron, bottle, old clothes! You talk about your affairs! Who trey ouT Rothschild! You haven't got any affairs!" Not a look, not a word, not a motion of his escaped her In all the fury of sound and gesture In which he seemed fairly jto envelop himself. Least of all did that shaking ot hls-the quivering ot Jaw and temple, the tumultuous agi tation of bis handsevod her watch fulness. "When did you find this outf she said very quickly. "After you became adrululstrntorr He struck the back of the chair she bad vacated a. vicious blow with his open hand. "No. you seudthrlft!

Old paper, old rags"- Tou tare sent me the same In come." stH! lifted ber voice to Interrupt "You hare made the same quarterly payments since his death that yon made before. If you knew, why did you do thatt" lie had been shouting at her with the frantic and Incredulous exasperation of an Intolerant man utterly unused to apposition, bis face empurpled, his fore head dripping and his hands ruthlessly pounding the back of the chair, but this straight question stripped him sud denly of gesture and left him standing limp and still before her, pale splotches beginning to show on his hot cheeks. If you knew, why did you do Itr the repeated. "You wrote me that my Income was from dividends, and I knew and thought nothing about It. but If the stock which came to me was worthless how could it pny dlvldcndst" "It did nt" he answered huskily. "That distillery stock, I tell you. Isn't I worth the matches to burn It." i "But there has been no difference I In my Income," she persisted steadily. "Why? Can yon explain that to mer "Yes; I enn," he replied. And It seemed to her that he spoke with a 'pallid and bitter desperation, like a i man driven to the wall. "I can If you think you want to know." "I do." "I sent It" "Do you mean from your own" "I mean It was my own money." She bad not taken her eyes from his, which met hers stralghtly and angrily, and at this she leaned forward, gating ' at him with profound scrutiny, j "Why did you send ltr she asked, j "Charity," he answered after palpa I ble hesitation. Tier eves widened, and she leaned - back against the lintel of the door. - url"B al "-"" " ecuueu m u wU.M.-i. Perhaps he mistook her amazement ni ms penormauce ior uimuhj tau. by the sense of Her own position, tor as Bhe seemeo to weuitcn oeiore mm the strength of his own habit of uoini- nance came back to him. "Charity, madam!" ho broke out, shouting Intol- erably. "Charity, d ye hear I I was a friend of the man that made the money you and your grandfather squandered; I was a friend of Jonas Tabor, I say! That's why I was willing to' support you for a year and over rather than Jet a niece of his suffer." 'Suffer!' " she cried. " 'Support!' yon gcnt me a hundred thousand francs!" The white splotches which had mot tled Martin Pike's face disappeared as If they had been suddenly splashed with hot red. "You go back to my house," he said. "What I aeiit you only shows the extent of my" "Effrontery!" The word rang through the whole house, so loudly and clearly did she strike it-rang In his ears till It stung like a castlgatlon. It was om inous, portentous of Justice and of dis aster. There was more than doubt of him In It there was conviction. He fell back from this word, and .,n ..v, the house. She had turned the next comer before he came out of the gate, and as he panned hi own home on lit way downtown ho taw litr whlto dros mingling with hi dnughtvr'a near th bors block IhmIiI th firs, whr the two, with their arm about each other, stood watting for 8am Warden and th open ummtr carriage Judge I'tk walked on, the white splotches reappearing Ilk n pale rash upon hi face. A yellow butterfly lg tugged before him, kue high, neroa the sidewalk, H raited hi foot and half kicked at It CHAPTER XIX. A 8 tli judge continued hi walk down Main street li wubed profoundly that th butterfly, which MhJblted no annoyance, had ben of greater bulk aud wore ap proachable, and It wat th vll fortune of Joe' mongrel to ucouutr lum In th tlnltter humor of such a with un fulfilled.

Th tarn clerk had Just laid down th Tixuln at Reapertalullty went by, and, Iwplred to great dwd In behalf of juntlre and hi native city, b rushed to the door, lavishly soiled this tlui a perfectly good potato and hurled It with a result whlrh ecta 4led him. for It took the mongrel fair ly aside the head, which It matched In slise. The luckless Respectability' purpo to reach Joe' stairway had town fn ttrely definite, but upon thl violence he forgot It momentarily. It I not easy to keep thing In mind when on la Violently stnUten ou mouth, none, cheek, eye and ear by n ntloall larn enough to atrlke them simultaneously. Yelping and half blinded, he deflwtml 10 crest Malu stwt. Judge 1'lke had elected to era In the opponlto direc tion, and tb two mt lu th middle of the street. The encuuutcr wot miraculously fit led to the Judge uihhI. Her was no butterfly, but a wild body, light with nl, a wet. muddy and dusty yellow dog eminently klckublf. The wan wa hearlly built about the leg. nd tb vigor of what he did may bv been additionally Inspired by hi recognl tlot of the mongrel n Joe Louden'. The Impact of his Me uHn the Utile runner' side was momentous, and tl latter rose into the air. Th Judge bopped, a one bop who, iiiuIhkI in the night, discovers an unexpected chair. Let n h reconciled to his pain aud not reproach the gods with It. for two of hi unlntetnllng adversary' rllw were cracked. The dog, thus again deltef ted, retrac ed hit tracM. shrieking distractedly and. by ouu of those Ironical twists which Karma reserve for the tall of the fated, dived for blind safety liito the store commanded by the ecstatic and Inimical clerk. There were ahoutt; the sleepy square beginning to wnkv up; the bench loafers strolled to tho street; the aged men stirred aud rose from their chairs; faces upeored In the open window of ofllcen; sule ladle and gentlemen enme to the door way of the trading places. o that when Respectability emerged from the grocery ho bad a notable audience for the scene he enacted with a bras din ner bell tied to bis tall. Another potato, flung by the pimpled, nproorlons, .prodigal clerk, added to tho Impetus of his flight. A shower of pebbles from th hands of exhilarated boys dented the soft asphalt about blm. The hideous clamor of the pur suing bell Increased as tin turned the tuext corner, running distractedly. The dead town bad como to life, and Its Inhabitants gladly risked tho danger on heat In the Interest of sport, whore by It was a merry chase the llttlo dog led nrouud the block. For tliu some destructive Instinct drove him. He could not stop with the unniipensnblo terror clanging ot his heel nnd the Increasing crowd yelling In pursuit, but ha turned to the left at each corner and thus came back to pass Joe's Mnlr way ngnln, unable to pause there or anywhere, unoble to do anything ex cept to continue his hapless flight poor meteor. Round the block he went once more, and still no chance at that empty stair, way, where perhaps, be thought, there might bo succor and safety. Blood wiih upon his side where Martin Pike's boot had crashed, foam and blood huiitf upon his jaws and lolling tongue. He ran desperately, keeping to the mid dle of the street, nnd, not howllug, set himself dospnlrlngly to outstrip th? terror. The mob, disdaining tho huh superbly, pursued as closely as It could, throwing bricks and rocks at blm, striking at him with clubs und sticks. Happy Feur, playing "tlc-tuc-toe," right hand against left, tu his cell, beard the uproar, mode out something of what was happening and, though unaware that It was a friend whose life was sought, discovered a similarity to his own case and prayed to his dim gods that the quarry might get away. "Mnd dog!" they yelled, "Mad dog!" And there were some who cried, "Joe Louden' dog!" that being equally as exciting and explanatory. ' :; Three times round, and still the lit tle fugitive maintained a lead. A gray helmeted policeman, a big fellow, hn-l Joined the pursuit. Ho bad children at home who might be playing lu the ttreet, and the thouijht of what might happen to them If the mad dog should hend that way nwolved him to b cool and steady, He wa falling hthlud, so he stopped nu the corner, trusting that Ri'lHH-tiblllty would come rouud again, He wa right, nnd th flying brownish thing utrviikrd along Main strwt, patt ing the hlord ttalrway for th fourth time.

A uumbur of tho hardiest stood squarely In hi path, tud he hesitated for a second, which gave tho opportunity for a surer aim. and many mlsallet struck htm. "Let him have It now, officer," tald Eugene Rantry, standing with Judge Tlk at th policeman' ellwr. "There your chance."

Going lowly, he almost touched the pimply dm a he passed, and the clerk, al ready rehearsing In hit mind the hon or which should follow tho brave stroke, rained the tine above th llttlo dog's bead for tho coup do grace. They did not ilescetid. and the daring youth failed of fame n the laurel almost em braced his brows.
