She ran to him. and, twining her arms
about his neck, covered his face with
passionate kisses, while all the time.

Anice led her husband to the foot of

Deering still hesitated. He was no
coward. but death and disgrace con-
fronted him, and left no room for
choice. With one foot on the lowest
step, he cast backward glance at his
mother, who, pausing in her feverish
walk, held up two warning hands.
"Hark!" she cried. 'Hark! thought

kitchen, each with loaded gun resting

burned like crimson peoples, but the

| and cold as chiseled marble.
| Suddenly Mrs. Deering sprang to her
feet; she held her gun in firm clutch,
and her voice had the strained tone of
an instruments at high pitch. 80
II hear the trampling of horses feet
towards Garry's Corners" she cried.
"Listen!" rs
Anice did not move. She sat straight
as an arrow in her high, upright chair
waiting.
1t was clearly perceptible now; the
clinkity-clink, clinkity-clink, OF gallop-
ing feet in the distance.
In five minutes, possibly less
Mrs. Deering placed the muzzie of her
gun through one of two holes which she
had made in the door, and, reckoning to
Anice, pointed to the other aperture.
At this moment the cruncliing of
heavy hoofs upon the gravel could be
distinctly heard, as the horses, two
nbreast, came up the winding ave
Tue of shadowy trees; the riders drew
up before the kitchen door.
The two women darted swift. glances
at each other in the dim freight; but
their hands, leyeling The heavy guns,
did not tremble.
Then the silence was broken By vol
ley of knocks upon the door, and u
mans voice commanding Roger Deer
ing to come out.
No reply came from the darkened
house. The very air was heavy with
suspense.
Anice looked at her mother-in-law's
face. 1t was rigid in its set intensity.
and her clawlike fingers were upon the
trigger of her gun.
THAT was Daily's voice." whispered
the girl. Fire. mother. Aim towards

There was a sharp report, followed
by curses and clamor.
Mrs. Deering smiled coldly. ''Some
one is hurt" said she.
The kitchen door shook under the
combined force of several stalwart
shoulders. 1t had, beside lock and key,
a heavy wooden bar, fitting in grooves
at either side. As long as the bar held
out there was comparative safety, but
the lock was of very little use.
Another shot and a cry. Anice
glanced triumphantly at Mrs. Deering.
Then began a carnival of battery, rs
the men. Infatuated by the shots, clam
bered over each other in impotent rage.
They ratified the shutters and ham
mered at the door; and through it all
the women reloaded and fred their
guns.

Roger lifted his wife's body from the

Suddenly Anice paled, and her lips
| trembled, as she exclaimed:
'sThey are going to the front of the
house. Oh. mother! It is only mat

At this moment some one came creep
ing, soft-footed, down the stairs and
peered into the kitchen.
It was Deering; his face white as q

"For Heavens sake, mother, drop

kissing of a musket ball. Leaping for
ward, he dashed the heavy weapon from

buttoned it snugly over her breast:
then, taking down from its peg an old
SLOUGH hat by which he was well known
in Garry's Corners, she placed it with
behring's own careless toss upon her
head, taking care that it's brim con-
ceaIed two shell-like ears.
Not a tremor marked her movements
as, raising a window that opened on
small circular balcony above the front
door. she deliberately stepped out, and
leaning with folded arms against the
pillars that supported it's pagoda-like
roof, awaited the result.
Suddenly the night was startled anew
by loud cry, as Daily. standing back
from the others, perceived that silent
figure upon the balcony.
''Stand out! Stand out! and meet
justice like mani" roared he.
Seven other voices took up and re-
peated the cry; while Deering, within
the house. struggled with his mother,
who would not suffer him to obey that
imperious call.
Then Anice. realizing that the mo-
ment admitted of no indecision, squared
her young shoulders and stepped out
from the shadow of the pillar.
There was heart beat of intense
silence. Then came a iow-voiced order
from Daily, and eight pistols rang out.
The maskers, through cloud of smoke,
saw the target on the balcony stretch
up it's arms, sway to and fro, then fall
heavily backward.
"Shall we force our way through the
house and see that he is dead?" asked
Daily.
Beneath his black cloak Halloran
shuddered. mo, no, enough of this

There was startled cry from Roger
as he heard the discharge of the pistols,
and, turning to speak to his wife, dis
covered her absence.
where is Anice?" asked he, with
horror that increased as the trampling
of horses feet struck his ear.
Blankly Mrs. Deering echoed his
question, cropping about the darkness
with extended arms; and, for the first
time that night, her limbs trembled
