But of course, if you two have decided he must not be disciplined, why 1'll not butt in. But who is he, and why the savage grouch he displayed just now?"" I explained briefly that he was the man who lived across the road from the Ticer farm, and who had beaten his wife so savagely the day of our arrival there. Dicky listened quiet- ly to my story of driving the little family to ‘the hospital, and of the man’s subsequent incarceration in the jail for a day, and of his re- lease upon suspended sentence. Fer a long minute after I had ceased talking he did not speak. Then he asked a single question. Dicky Reassures Madge. “He's the lad whose plunged over Marion and isn't he?"” “Yes,” I returned, “but I think he intended that—" “Just get one thing firmly planted in your brain, my dear,” he retorted loftily, “and that is, there's no limit to the deviltry one of those animals can evolve from his aboriginal in terior. He's evidently planted firmiy in his cosmos the idea that you're , responsible for his jailing. I'll just keep an eye on that lad. He'll bear watching, though he probably won't dare do anything until the memory of his last adventure dies down. But keep Junior away from his vicinity. He could easily manage some acci- dent to the child in which his own skirts would be entirely clear.” He had picked up our Uttle lad a few seconds before, and was rapidly striding homeward But at his last words I stopped him long enough to bestow a ‘convulsive hug now.

Dicky came to the rescue, generally coes when he is in a Aumor. “Now, mother, :ii's morning was my fault,” he said, “and I've got to have Madse go with me tonight, too. Aprleton’s down in this vicinity, and I've got to give a little dinner ftc- night. But don't held it up against Madge. Blame me. I'm a good goat.” “I'm not aware tkat I have eves blamed Margaret for anything which was not her fault,” his mother said icily. “As for your dinner, go ahead, both of you. I think I am perfectly capable of taking care of my grand- child.” “Who's Machiavelli, now?” I whis- as he s00d pered, as his mother flounced out of the room. “Well, Appleton is at Southamp- ton, and I have 'to give this dinner,” he retorted with a defiant grin.

The girl immediately monopolized Dicky's attention, as 1 had counted on her doing, and I had the opportunity I wished to spenk confidenftally to Dr. Pettit. “I must shock T said tell you something which and displease you, doc- hurriedly.

He saw S0 many strange sights that he didn't ! know whether to bark or to crawl away and hide somewhere. Yet among all those people he felt very lonely. He couldn’t see anybody he knew. s All at once the bandsmen began to play louder than ever. They seemed to be trying to burst their horns—or themseives. And men in flowing robes, each one standing in a sort of little two-wheeled cart and driving four horses abreast, came tearing past | the place where Spot was standing. It was a race! And if there was one thing that Spot liked more than } another it was a race of any Kind. He gave a few delighted barks and ! ran after the galloping horses. Spot followed them twice around .

And just as he fell into a jog—for the race was fin- ished—he heard a whistle that gave him a great thrill. He stood still for an instant. Then he dashed toward the nearest seats. A moment later he was fawning npon Johnnie Green, who sat in the lowest row and seemed as glad to see Spot as Spot was to see him. Lying between Johnnie’s feet, Spot watched the rest of the show. At last the circus was over. Green family, with Spot at heels, went back to the place they had left the bays and the carry- all.” And in a few minutes more they were on their way back to Pleasant Valley and home.

And now, late in the afternoon, everybody was in just as great a hurry to get away from it. Farmer Green kept the bays at a spanking trot, only paus- ing to let them breathe now and then on the hills. Spot, however, was not in such haste that he didn't stop and give a good trouncing to the dog that had rushed out at him earlier in the day.

Jimmy Gordon, the family black sheep and village ne’r do well, comes home after several months' absence and received a cool welcome. The only pleasant greetings he gets arc from “Melody” a not too respectable actress, and a dog owned by the local saloon keeper. Jimmy is stepson of the Rev. Watson Duncan. Rev. Dun- can however, ignores Jimmy but goes to the station with T. Elihu Banks, the banker and village magnate, who is a brother to Duncan’s wife, making him an uncle to Jimmy, where the pair meet Sidney Banks, Elihu’s son, as the latter alights from the train, “gorgeous in fine rainment and leading a bull terrior by & leash.” Jimmy and Carol Landis are in love with each other. Carol is the daughter of “Old Dave" Landis, owner of the Daily Courier, a run down newspaper plant. She is an amateur actress and because of her, Jimmy is ordered from home by the Rev. Watson Duncan. T. Elihu Banks, who is one of the leading politicians in the community, does his best to make things disagree- able for Jimmy. One night Jimmy wes into a gamblinz den in order to keep his cousin, Sidney Banks, and Tloyd Jameson, a son of the locai jndge, from being flceced by a couple of crooked gamblers, Just as he ex- peoses the game, the police break in nd raid the place. Jimmy helps irapped himself. Judge Jameson gives him 24 hours to leave town. He leaves immediately. Carol Landis leaves with a theatri- cal troupe. Fhe returns to her home 'ater she returns as a successful actress and is feted in the best houses. Shortly after this her father dies and leaves the Courier to Jimmy Gordon. Jimmy takes charge of the paper and the townspeople try to lionize bim. He manages to obtain evidence to prove T. Elihu guilty of crooked politics and exposes him in The Courier. Tivotson blinked. “Huh?” he asked. Jimmy's smile was diffident, most apologetic “I wish you'd write up your little al- the climax is painful, but I'd dwell on it rather strongly, nevertheless) Head it ‘The Courier Returns T. Eli- hu’s “all’” Get it in tomorrow’s is- sue—but it's today’s issue now-—isn't it? T1l wait and go over it with you, when you've finished. I—I've some work of my own to do.’ e ox Newsboys were hawking the morn- ing edition of the sheet containing Tivotson's account of his visit to the town's great man, neglecting to an astonishing degree the Gazette, T. Elihu Banks' tured Wainwright's answer to Courier’s issue of the day before. In other years Jimmy's appearance upon the town’s main thoroughfare, especially when Hanlon's was his de: tination, had always meant display of disapproval, but it had never been so vast and bitterly unanimous a thing as it was now. On this occasion when Jimmy fin- ally neared the old Palace building he was forced to swing to cne side of the pavement to avoid a knot of men which did not break up at his approach. Judge Jameson (the title had clung to him since the days when he had served a less.com- plex community as justice of the peace) plunged through the ranks toward him. “A damnable outrage, sir,” he roared as he spread his legs and blocked the passage of Warchester's newest journalist. ~“A damnably treacherous piece of business, sir, which, 1 promise you, shall be pun- ished to the full extent of the law. T'll run you out of town. “No, you won't judge,” he contra- dicted. “No more than I will you unless you wait too long before see- ing the error of your ways—though T've promised myself, often enough, that I'd do it for you, God knows.” Then Judge Jameson, falling back before the white-faced editor, tripped upon his own panic feet and came down full length in the gutter. The judge lost but little time in seeking out T. Elihu Banks that morning of his disastrous encounter with Jimmy Gordon. “I—I suppose you have seen this morning’s issue of the Courier,” he ventured in a voice grown so thin and bodiless that even he heard the note of fear in it. Upon T. Elihu it had the effect of a sharp-tined prodding iron. “I've just had an aliercation with that crook, Gordon,” Jameson said, “a—a very disconcerting altercation.” He seemed to set himself like a high diver for the next plunge. “I sus- pect somebody has—squealed,” he finished. “Suspect somecone has squealed— suspect!” cried Banks. Damnation, man, can’t you ever approach an is- sue without quibbling? —the drunken fool—or didn’t realize that, even after they'd you so in the morning's paper!” “You mean he'll tell—" T.
