there issued from the gulch a black mass

body OF horsemen bearing down towards

sage brush and wild flowers their pace
slackened, and they finally came to a
standstill before the broken gate.

was finally prevailed upon to undertake

shooter and belt on the fence, he knocked
at the door.
A feeble voice said, Come in. Push

upon the threshold. The light in the
room was dim. but he could see dis
tinctly a figure stretched ON a low
couch In the further corner.
"WIll you come in. sir?" said the same
feeble, gentle voice; then. as Billy
stepped in with some embarrassment.
she continued, What is your errand
sir?'
He tried to think OF n means by which
he could delicately and acceptably de-
liver his message Of charity. but was
obliged to make known his errand as
simply as possible, trusting to the in
spiration OF the moment to help him
out.

hastily on one elbow as he spoke,
