Where's the jail?" asked Lambert of

Three or four prominent citizens
came strolling out of the saloon near

tightly closed.
"'Put stop to anything they're nt' I"
repeated Lambert to himself. but
what are they at? How on earth can |
find out?"
Like those of the jail behind it the
windows Of the little meeting house
were closed, and apparently boarded up
from within. The double doors IN

in one or two places with bullet holes.

Lambert simply did not know what to

one shutter after another and mutter-
ing about "darned fools inside" cor
poral with two men had explored the
two rooms of the primitive building
used as u Jail, and now came out to say
there was nobody there, which seemed
to tickle the fancy of the rallying pop

There was nothing hostile or threaten

disposed to be friendly-as when they
saw Lambert take rife with evident
intention of battering in the door, they
shouted 10 him in genuine concern:

Long before they reached the public
square the firing had ceased. 0ver'tak-

'Put stop to anything they're at.

Tho deputy marshal had disappeared.
"Mr. Psrmelee somewhere ahead?"
painted the lieutenant to the sergeant
trotting by his side.
Somewhere behind, sir. He'll come

The road led into town from the
northeast. Lambert could zee the rail-
way embanlment and the old wooden
bridge before they rounded the turn
from which they came In sight of the
belfry and the roofs, Somebody had
begun to ring the bell, and there came
the sound Of shouting with on OCCASION

shouts, suggestively derisive and farther

asked Lambert of his bulky second In

steadying the absurd long sword then
worn by our sergeants, and the other
chInping his rifle at the right shoulder,
pufingly answered:
"Havin' some fun with the sheriff
He had nigger posse guardln' the jail.
Folks wouldn't stand It,"
Another minute of running brought
them to the outskirts of the struggling
town. Women and children coUd be
seen peering excitedly towards the
square. Two very small buys, hearing
the heavy tramp, tramp of the infantry,
turned and scuttled away for the shell
ter Of an open door. Three hundred
yards ahead man in his shirt sleeves
popped around a corner, looked keenly
at the coming squad and popped back
again. When Lambert, leading his men
bya q dozen PAGES, came dancing around
that same corner and found himself at
the northeast angle Of the plaza, this
same citizen was seated on the nearest
porch, placidly smoking corn-cob pipe
and reading newspaper, his boots
braced against wooden pillar and his
chair tilted back against the wall
In similar attitudes Of exaggerated
calm, farther along In the direction oI
the post Office, were one or two other
gentlemen OF. Tugaloo. Only around
Cohen's mercantile emporium was there
faintest sign of excitement. There one
or two trembling, pallid clerks were
bustling about and putting up ths
shutters. The gang Of negroes ordina

he said, "or these rebels'll ride right
over you. Why, every man you sees
had a hand in this Jail delivery. We had
great trouble 'restin those three
scoundrels: the marshals been after

us here. s l telegraphed him. We
fetched 'em here at four o'clock THE
mornin'. an not soul in Tugaloo knew
anything about it, an the soldiers ought
to have stood by us until the marshal
came. Stead Of that they went on to
camp and left us all alone, and just as
soon as these people found out who
were jailed an saw we had no soldiers
to guard 'em, why, couldn't do nothin'.
They just took my horse and-they'd

But Mr.. Parmelee's description Of the
situation was interrupted by the com
ing of Capt. Close himself. Dressed
precisely as when Lambert had last
seen him at camp, with no more sem
blance of rank or authority than was
to be found in weather-beaten pair Of
shoulder-straps on his cheap flannel
blouse, without sash or sword, but with
huge army Colt" strapped about his
waist, the commander Of the company
came strolling around the corner Of the
Jail, looking curiously about its door and
windows as though in search of signs
of the recent affray.

"Why, great Peter! man, your birds just

taken our mule to replace that dam
carcass there, that b'longed to the,
father of one of the boys you brought
in this mornin'. He told the truth bout
