Thompson staggered forward and fell in the
maiden's path, holding up his hands in an.

There was no hesitation in the soul of the

Still Thompson hesitated, sweeping the horiy

no immediate danger threatened. A change
came over his face as he looked, and he uttered
a wild cry, catching up the glass Mr.. Dane had

horses and resumed their journey. The above

our columns. The continuation of 1t from
where il leaves off here can be found only in
the New York Ledger, which is for sale at all
the book stores and news depots. Ask for the
