quickly and to the point. A sudden
suspicion that not the tramp, but an

flashed through her brain. There was
the odor of the chloroform, and be-

The cashier hesitated, but when he
pulled the hand from the pocket at
last, the bandage showed other stains
than those Of arnica.
With a bound the girl stood before
him.

OF which stood wide open
Miss Wilson made no reply but with
an almost superhuman effort attempt
ed to wrench the weapon from him.
She succeeded in clutching a few inch
es more of the long handle of the
knife. and the man uttered n terrible
oath. The blade had sunk into his
hand. Snatching his left arm from her
waist, he struck her fearful blow
with his fist.
Realizing that she could no longer
cope with the robber, Nora turned
quickly and dashed past him toward
the door that led out into the yard.
1t was open, but on the threshold the
girl stumbled and fell prone to the
floor. When she awoke few moments
afterwards from the stupor caused by
the fall two men were bending over
her. They We're graphing, and by
their voices Miss Wilson recognized
In one of them her aunt's gardener.
The girl, brave as ever, came to his
assistance.
Their combined cries for help
brought one of their neighbors to the
scene of the struggle. The marauder

tramp who had accosted them in the
afternoon in front of the bank.

While the two men carried off their
prisoner, Nora hurried to her aunt's
room. BY this time the effect of the
chloroform had disappeared, and Miss
Magruder was acquainted with the
events of the night. The little satchel
with its precious contents was moved
a considerable distance from where it
had originally been placed, and the
spinster admitted that the cashier was
right after all in admonishing her as
he did. TO relieve herself from fur
ther responsibility she sent for her
niece's betrothed early in the morning.
In the meantime the prisoner had a
preliminary hearing before the judge.
Miss Wilson deposed that she had met
the man in the afternoon; that he had
seen the satchel which they carried
from the bank, slowed away under
the buggy seat. She then narrated
her struggle with the intruder and his
final arrest by neighbor and her
aunt's gardener. The latter corrobo-
rated her statement. The prisoner
firmly declared his innocence. even In
the face of these grave charges. He
denied having struggled with the
young lady in her aunt's room, and
said that he had sought shelter in Miss
Magruder's woodshed for the night.

help, he thought fire had broken out.
