diamond on his finger with the air of a Beau

fate was upon them. Between them and the sun

many seasons on its hinges and the recollection OF
ernOr "Mac" and a fierce jailer strobe into their
presence. Death had come at 40 cents a head, and

The eddies OF the river fTom.whore the cage had
entered grew longer and fainter until the sun
marked their breaking against Blackwelrs Island
Then the whispered music of the stream was again
disturbed by the creaking of the crane. aud 162
dead dogs .were dumped out upon the tender grass
to be carried away later In the day iii scow
