The command was followed by
a quick report, but not from the

the stranger TO himself.

vouchsafed until they reached a
point some three miles below
where he had shot the horse

If, as he supposed, he was in

remonstrance was useless, and
he must meet his fate. Some
coats were piled under a big oak
tree, and near them sat two men.
Here his captors dismounted and
secured his horse and theirs to
scattering sapplings. He knew
from frequent glances cast down
the valley that they were waiting
yet for achievements. They
had not long to wait until a dozen
men came in sight. They were,
well mounted and well dressed,
but were evidently greatly ex-
cited. They proceeded at once
to the pile of coats the stranger
had noted. Some were thrown
aside, revealing as he had half
expected, the dead body of a man

he could overhear a part of their

stranger dropped a coin into the

a second traveller halted at the

stranger had passed that way.
The old man recognized an Off
Ger Of the law, and he felt almost
dazed as suspicion crossed his

the daring horse thief. With
