low went down the avenue and
crouched in the black shadow of a low
brGnched pine; and Ringbrand, armed
only with the revolver which had been
his companion in the cavern, took his
stand against the trunk of u great oak,
whose spreading limbs overshadowed
the ambush selected by the mountain
GERS.
Up to the moment when the compile
tion of the arrangements for the cap
ture of the conspirators had begun to
cancel the factor of excitement, Ring
brand had not reflected upon the pc
culiarly trying nature of the test he
had proposed for himself When the
plan had suggested itself, he had well
coined it gladly, hurrying forward to
its elimination with the eager impa-
tience of one who imagines he sees the
turning-point of his life in the perspec-
tive and runs impetuously to double it.
After he had taken his position under
the oak, however, the suspense, and the
darkness and silence of the night, be-
gan to dampen the fire of enthusiasm;
Inc Hoou-llue OF eNcllemenC turned ana
ebbed slowly away; and the heroic re-
quirements of the part he had volun-
teered TO take in the approaching
drama stood out i'll vivid and disconcert-
ing relief. Common sense awoke and
demanded a reason for the hazardous
plan, pointing the finger of ridicule at
the melodramatic stage setting. and
suggesting that nothing had been omit
ted save calcium light to be flashed
upon the scene at the critical moment.

CHAPTER XII.-Continued.


Upon hearing it, Col. Latimer de-
tnurred at once because of the danger
attending Ringbrand's part in the un-
dcrtalling; but he acquiesced finally
when Ludlow added the weight of his
advice, and the young man glanced
gratefully at his friend for the timely
assistance. When the details were ar
ranged, and Ringbrand had appealed to
Henry not to fire unless it became plain
ly necessary, the colonel spoke again:

i2ingbra-d, did you happen to heah any
thing that might th'ow any light on

note to the young man.
Ringbrand unfolded it and spelled
out the contents penciled in grabbed
characters scrawled irregularly across
the sheet.

iingbrand, refectively, recalling the
words of the conspirators. "One of
them asked: How about the grip

and then he added: 4 shouldn't wonder
if jed would be glad enough to take

Blame his cussed .impudence!" ex-
claimed the colonel, blazing up wrath
fully. What right has he got to be
thinkin' about my Hester?"
Not the least bit in the world,

ly; "bat don't let US forget that he had

Ringbrand slept next day until after
noon, coming down to a very late dinner
feeling as if he had circumnavigated
the globe in the wrong direction and so
lost a day out of the calendar. Mrs.
Ludlow, having slaked the imperative
thirst of her curiosity at the well of her
husbands information, spared him the
task of recounting his adventures at
length; but she managed to make him
give very fair description of the bat

view of the chief actor therein, ruthless

dwell lightly upon his own achieve

An English scientist, DIR. H. Camp
bell, has written an essay dealing with
the physiological effect of laughter:
When we laugh" he says, I'VE in
crease the play of the tension of the
lungs, and one result of this increased
tension is to arrest the blood-fiow in
the lungs, and thus induce the taking
of deep respirations. These latter are
healthful processes, for many parts of
the lungs are not called into play in
ordinary breathing. Hence laughter Is
an exercise, and good one."
