"That's according. Mobbe you'll

"And the stranger ?"
"Oh, he'll fire high"
"Pap, can't shoot ?" asked the eld-

"Shet, Tilly."
The children went off into corner
and rejoiced that there was going to
be fout, but by and by grew sleepy
and went off to bed. Up to 10 o'clock
we talked of anything but the coming
event. At that hour Hungerford said:
"Reckon it's time. They'll be here

minutes later four or FIVE of the gang

shed and leaned against it as they in
spected the house.

"We are dead shore of him." added
a second.
"There's to be no let up, boys"
cautioned third. 1--WE must switch

first.
"Blast her She's as bad as he is

One of them went away to call up
the crowd and in few minutes all
were assembled. Then / cleaned
from their whispers that John Hun
gerford was to be whipped to death,
and that his wife was to receive less
merciful treatment. They even plan
ned to fire the house, and wipe out
the whole family root and branch.
At signal all advanced, and five or
six men jumped against the door. 1t
was barred. Then a voice called:
"Open, John Hungerford We've
come for you, and we're bound to
have yev'
The words were answered by shot |
from the house, and then the shotgun
roared from the smoke-house. | ele-
waited the muzzle of my revolver and
fired six shots over the confused and
flying crowd, and next moment all |
who could get away were gone. Hun
gerford came out with a lantern, and |
by it's light we saw two dead men |
and three wounded. The wife had al |
so shot to kill. One of the wounded |
was past speaking. The other two,
who were strangers to the family and |
belonged in distant village, begged |
for mercy and promised all sorts of
reformation in the future.
In the morning, as l was ready to
60 on there were three dead outside
the door and the two wounded were
groaniug with pain. The nearest doc
tor was five miles away, and | was to
stop and leave word for him. AS l
left the house Mrs. Hungerford said
"Thankee, stranger, and we won't
forget il"
