They foresaw many years imprisOn-
ment for crime which they had not
committed.
The constable was hurrying his
prisoners towards the door, when there
was q sudden stir in the outskirts of the
crowd. Old Parson Payne was push
ing his way in, followed by a tall
young man, who, in comparison with
the uncouth mountaineers, seemed
wonderfully prosperous and well-clad,
and very fresh and breezy.
You're all on the wrong track?' he
cried.
And his story proved this, though it
was simple enough.
He was sojourning in the mountains
with some friends on a "camp-hunt," :"
and the previous evening he had
chanced to lose his way in the woods.
When night and the storm came on, he
was fully five miles from camp. He
mistook the little .smeet' n house. for
dwelling, and dismounting he hitched
his horse in the laurel, intending to ask
for shelter for the night. As he
stepped upon the porch. however, he
caught a glimpse, through the chinking
of the interior, and he perceived that
the building was a church. There were
benches and q rude pulpit. The next
instant, his attention was riveted by
the sight of two men. one of whom had
drawn knife upon the other, quarrel
ing over roll of money. He stood
rooted to the spot in surprise. Grad
ually, he began to understand the
villainy afoot, for he overheard all they
said to each other, and afterward to
Jim. He saw one Of the men cut the
Bit from the comforter. wrap the

he Witnessed a dispute between them
which went on in a dumb show behind

should be knotted in the handkerchief
which they twisted into the comforter.
