cient room in his pockets for the money.
He could not bear to leave a single coin, so
enhancing was every one of them. 1t was
a long time before he hit upon the idea of
pulling out his shirt to use as an apron
and filing it with the plumber. But finally
all this was done. and every coin had been
snugly provided for. When he attempted
to rise he discovered that the weight of the
money was too great for his strength.
Again and again did he essay the task,
straining his muscles to the last limit and
groaning with the pains of his burden
1t was while he was thus struggling that
he suddenly became alert and apprehen-
sive again, and raised his head in a listen
ing attitude. He was very quiet, moving
not at all. A mental effort was going on
with slow and tedious progress, for the
passing of his excitement had reduced his
capacity for complex comprehension, and
his memory was at fault. Nevertheless,
something impelled him to look again
toward the spot where the robbers had
disappeared. Nothing alarming was
visible in that direction, for the simple
reason that he was facing it. The long
he looked and the more keenly he listened
the sharper became his faculties and the
warmer his blood. Whatever it was that
finally reused him-whether it was q
cracking so slight that an ordinary ear
could not have heard it, or whether it was
an instructive sense of danger-it were
protlJless to inquire.
He looked quickly about, and directly
behind him, not ten feet away, were two
eyes in whose glance he recognized some
terrible menace. They were so near the
ground, and the meaning within them so
completely filled the field of view, that the
lad saw them only, and not the head that
held them nor the creeping body that
lay stretched upon the ground behind
them nor bright knife which strong
hand held so firmly.
He saw only the eyes, and they were
more terrifying than anything he had ever
seen before in all his crippled and stunted
life He felt that they were something to
be Killed. monstrous thing which had
no place in the presence of beautiful gold
and the gladsomeness of the morning.
With an almost imperceptible movement
his hand grasped the rifle, and with re-
lentless certainty he slowly turned as he
sat and brought the weapon to bear on the
ewes as it Law across his legs.
The face which held the eyes before him
blanched, and lines resem bling those oil
decrepitude came into it. No voice could
be useful here-except, perhaps, 20 hasten
the end of the tragedy. 1t must be abso-
Lutte silence and Immortality until such
time as a hand should find its way to the
rifles hammer and finger slip through
the trigger-g guard. After all, those things
might not happen if heaven or hell give
the prisoner strength to do nothing but
wait. Were the others observing? DID
they see the terrible plight of their leader

that, the boy had seen the sheen and
heard the tinkle of the money and it is
bred in human bones to love the beauty
and music OF it. So when the robbers
sDrang for their rifles they were dismayed
to find the boy in possession of one. An
effort on the owners part to snatch it from
the lads hands only made the idiot leap
backward with flashing eyes and bring the
weapon menacingly toward his shoulder.
Tom tried his old tactics of wheedling
and play, but something in the boy had
gone awry-the excitement and turmoil,
the firing of the rifles, the sheen and music
OF the coin and the possession @ bright
tial in his hands, had given his unor-
ganized wits distorted activity and filled
his blood with fire; and all that was what
wiser men than these might have ex-
pected.
Toms decision and action were prompt.

tered. I'VE must hurry"

tinued to talk in his simple, straight
forward, friendly way the tension of the
lad s muscles gradually relaxed, the wild
look in his eyes softened, his weak chin
rose to its higher function, and finally a
smile came over his face. Then he gave
forth the vacant, coarse, mirthless laugh
OF his kind.
Tom had been telling him about the great
fun which he and his friends were going to
have. The stage was coming up the grade;
they were going to jump out into the road,
throw up their rifles and point them, so;
the driver would pull up his horses the
all the better: the driver would throw
down box and then go on his way-oh, it
would be the greatest fun in the world
The picture was most alluring to the
boy, albeit several repetitions Oft were re-
quired before he could fully grasp its
meaning. When he finally did. after in
terrupting its recital a number of times
with vacant laughter and wild eiacula-

was only learning to swim, was warned

when he realized that he was in deep wa
