IIeuu llNti-ned to at once, at bis mpnl for tti law wti lew noto rious thua Lla Irreverencs for It, ami be bad been known In Carlow aa cua tomarlly a reckless man. Tbey want ed Illegal and desperate advice and quieted down to bear It He spoke tn bla professionally calm Yolee. "Geutleinen, It seems to ma tbat Mr. Smith and Mr. ltibsbaw." nodding to ttie man witn tne rawnld wtiip, "are Ixitli rU'tit. What good arc we doing bere? What we want to know la what happened to Mr. Harkless. It looks just now like the shell men might hare done It. Let's find out what they done Bcntter and bunt for him. Soon aa suy things known for certain Illbbard mill whUtle will blow three times Keep on looking till It doea; then," be finished, with a barely perceptible acornful smile at the attorney "then we ran decide on what bad ought be done. 8li Croasronda lay dark and ileum Ing In the sun that morning. Tbe forite wna silent, the saloon locked up, tbe roadway deserted even by tbe pigs. The broken old buggy stood rotting lu the mud without a single lean little old man or woman--such were tbe chi! . dren of tbe Crossroads to play about It. Owe, when the deputy sheriff rod through alone, a tattered black bound more wolf than dog, half emerged, growling, from beneath oue of tbe tumbledown barns and waa Jerked back Into the darkness by bla tall, with a snarl fiercer than bis own, while aim barrel shone for a second aa II swung for a stroke on the brute's bead Tbe hound did not yelp or whine when tbe blow fell. He shut hi eyes twice and slunk sullenly back to his place. Tbe shanties might hare received volley or two from some of the mount ed bands, exuHperated by futile search Ing, bad not the escape of Horner' prisoners mnde the guilt of the Cross roads appeur doubtful In the minds of many. Aa the morning waned the ad' Tocatea of the theory that tbe gam Mera bad made away with Harkleaa . grew in number. There came a tele gram from the Ttouen chief of police that be had a clew tn their whereabouts. De thought they bad succeeded 1 reaching Itoiien, and It began to be generally believed that they bad ea- caped by tbe 1 o'clock freight train. which bad stopped to take on some empty cars at a aide track a mile north weat of town, aero the fields from tbe Briscoe bouse. Toward noon party went out to examine the rail road embankment. Men begun to come back Into the Til lage for breakfast by twos and threes. but many kept on searching the woods, not feeling the need of food or caring If they did. Every grove and clump of underbrush, every thicket, was ran sacked. The wutera of tbe creek, ahal low for the moat part, but swollen overnight, were drnggtd at every pool. Nothing wua found. There waa not a algn. The bnr of the hotel waa thronged all morning aa the returning cltlzeus rapidly made their way thither, and those who had breakfasted and were going out again paused for Internal aa well aa external re-enforcement. The landlord, himself returned from a long bunt, set out bis whisky with a lavish band. "He waa the best man we bad, boys. aid La mils aa he poured the little glassca full. "We'd ort of sent him to the legislative bulls of , Washington long ago. He'd of done ua honor there. Hut we never thought of dolu' any thing fer him. Jest set round and left him build up the town and give blm empty thnnkyes. l)rlnk hearty, gen tlemen," he llnlshed gloomily. "I don't grudge no liquor today except to Llge Wllletta." "He wus a good man," aald young William Todd, whose none was red, not rrom tne whisky. "I've about give up. "It's goln' to aeem mighty empty around bere." said Hows SohoUeltl. "What's golu' to become o' the Herald and the party in thla district? Where's the man to run either of 'em now? Like as not," he continued desperately, "It'll go against ua In the fall." Dlbb Zane choked over bla four fin gers. "We mlght'a well bust up the dab duwtiil ole town ef he's gone." "I don't know what'e come over that Cynthy Tlpworthy," suld the landlord. "She's waited table on him Inst two years, and her brother Hud worka at the Herald ofUce. She didn't aay a word, only looked and looked and looked, like a crazy woman; then her and Bud went off together to hunt In the woods. They J.t tuck hold of each other'a hands likit" "I reckon there alu't many crazier than them two Bowlders, fattier and son," Interrupted a patron, wiping the drops from his beard as he set bis glass on tlie bar. "They rid Into town like a couple of wild India no. the old man beatln' that gray mare o' thelrn till ahe was one big wait, and he sin' natcberly no cruel man either. - I ei ect Llge Wllletta better keep out of Hartley's way." "I keep out of no man's way!" cried a Voice liehind him. Turning, they saw Llge standing on the threshold of the door that led to the street. In bla hand he held the bridle of the horse be had ridden across the sidewalk and tbat now stood panting, with lowered head balf thmtiKh the doorway, tteslde his master. Llge was listless, splashed with mud from bead to foot; bla Jaw waa set, bis teeth ground together, bla eyes burned under red lids, and bis balr lay tossed and A imp on bis brow. "I keep out of no man's way." he re peated hoarsely. "I heard you, Mr. TIbba, but I've got too mnvh to do, while you loaf and gas ami drink over Landla' bar. I've got other business than kerpin' out of Hart Bowlder's way. I'm lookln' for John Harkless. ! waa the best man we had In this kr MtClmrm. TkltUn fZL C. Tji 4 4 ornery noie, ana he was 100 gooo tor us. and so we've maybe let blm get killed, and maybe I'm to blume. But I'm goln' to find him. and If lie's hurt I'm goln' to have a band on the rope that llfta tbe men that did It If I have to go to Rouen to put It there. After tbat I'll answer for my fault, not be fore." Ha threw hlmaelf on bla horse and . waa gone. Soon the room emptied, as the patrona of the bar returned to the search, and only Mr. Wilkersou and the landlord remained, the bar being tbe professional offlee, ao to apeak, of both. At 11 o'clock Judge Briscoe dropped wearily from bla home at bis own gate and said to a wan girl who came run ning down the walk to meet bim: "There la nothing yet. I sent the tel egram to your mother to Mra. Sher wood." Helen turned away without answer ing. Her face was very white and looked pinched about the mouth. She went back to where old Fishee sat on the porch, bla white head held between bla two hands. He was rocking hlm aelf to and fro. She touched him gen tly, but he did not look up. She spoke to hlra. "Father," ahe suld. Ha did not seen) to hear her. "There isn't anything yet. He sent the telegram. I ahull stay with you now, no matter whut you say." She aat beside blm and put ber bead down on his shoulder, ami, though for a mo ment be appeurtd not to notice It, when Minnie came out on th porch, lieurins her father at the door, the old man bad. put his arm about the girl and wus stroking ber fulr balr softly. Briscoe glanced at them and raised a warning finger to his daughter, and they went tiptoeing Into the bonne, where the Judge dropped heavily upon a sofa. Minnie stood before him with a look of pale Inquiry, and he shook hi bead. "No use to tell him. but I can't see any hope," he answered her, bltliu nervously at tbe end of a cigar. "I ex pect you better bring me some coffee In here. I couldn't take another step to aave me. I'm too old to tear around the country horseback before break fast, like I have today." "Did you send her telegram?" Min nie asked as he drank tbe coffee she brought him. She bad Interpreted "coffee" liberally and, with the assist ance of 'Mlldy Upton, whose subdued nose waa frankly red und who shed tea re on the raspberries, had prepared an appetizing table at bis elbow. "Yes." responded the Judge, "and I'm glad she sent It I talked the other way yesterday, what little I aald It Isn't any of our business but I don't think any too much of those people omehow. She thinks she belongs with Flsbee, and I guess she's right. That young fellow must have got along with her pretty well, and I'm afraid when she gives up she'll be pretty bad over it; but I guess we all will. It's terribly sudden, somehow, though It'a only whiit everybody half expected would come, only we thought It would come from over yonder." He nodded toward the west. "But she's got to stay here with us. Boarding at Tlbba' with that old man won't do, and she's no girl to live In two rooms. You fix It up with her you muke her stay." "She must," answered his daughter aa she knelt beside blm and patted his coat and handed him several things to eat at the same time. "Mr. Flsbee will help me persuade her, now that Tatticr." i(d. ahe'a bonnd to stay In spite of him and tbe Sherwoods too. I've always thought ahe waa grand, ever since she took me under ber protection at school, when I" Minnie was speaking sadly, me chanically, but suddenly she broke off with a quirk sob, turned to the win dow, then turned again to Briscoe and cried: "I don't believe It! He knew how to take care of himself too well. He'd have got awny from them." Her father shook bis bead. "Then why hasn't he turned up? He'd have gone home after the storm If something bad wasn't I be matter." "But nothing nothing that bad could have' happened. They haven't found any anything." "But why hasn't he come back, child?" "Well, he'a lying hurt somewhere, that's all." "Then why haver-'t they found him?" "I don't ta" ahe cried and choked wltb the words and touted her dishev eled hair from her temples, "It Isn't true! Helen won't believe It. Why should 1? It's only a few hours since be waa right bere in our yard talking to ua all. I won t believe it till they've searched every stick and stone of Six Crossroads and found blm." "It wasn't the Crossroads," aald the old gentleman, pushing the table I u-vay uiul reiuxuiK ui ..uiu ou tu sofa. "They probably didn't have any thing to with It. We thought they lu.J at first, but everybody's about come to believe It was thone two fel low a that he bud arrested yestenhiy." "It wusti't the CroHxrouiN;" echoed Minnie, and she Uvuu to tremble vio lently. "Haven't they becu out there yet?" "What ne? They are out of It, and they can thunk Cud tiny are." "They are not!" she cried, very much agitated. "They did It. It wus the White Caps. We saw tin in, Helen and I." Tbe Judge got uion hi feet with an onth. llo bud not sworn for years un til thut morning. "Whut's this?" be suld sharply. "I ought to have told you before, but we were ao frightened, and ami you went off in audi a rush after Mr. Wiley was bere. I never dieumed everybody wouldn't kuow It was the Crossrouds; that they would think of any one else. And 1 looked for tiie scarecrow, as soon a It was light, and It waa away off from where we saw them and wasn't blown down at all; and Helen suw them In the field besides; suw all of them" He Interrupted ber. "What do you mean? Try to tell me about It quietly, child." He la-d bis bund on ber shoul der. She told blm breathlessly what she and Helen bud seeu. ami be grew more unit more visibly perturbed and un easy, biting his clgur to pieces und groaning at lunrvula. When she bad iiiiiHhed be took a few uulck turns about the room, with hia bunds thrust deep In his cout pockets, and then, churglug ber to rcpeut tbe atory to no one, left the house and. forgetting bis fatigue, rapidly crossed the fields to the point where the bizarre figures of the night bud shown themselves to tUo two irlrls at the window. The soft ground bad been trampled by many feet. The boot prints pointed to the northeast. He traced them buck wsrd to the southwest through the field and saw where they hud come from near the road, going northeast; then, returning, be climbed the fence and followed them northward through the next field. From there the next field to the north, lying beyond the road that waa a continuation of Muln street, atretehed to the rullroad embankment. The track, ruggedly defined In tram Pled loara and muddy furrow, Ix-nt in a direction which Indicated that It terminus might be the twitch where the empty cars bud stood lust ulght waiting for the 1 o'clock freight. Though the fields had been trampled In uiauv (To Iw continued.)
