his mind reverted TO those crocuses.
|"They will he black by morning." he
said. 'Too bad! and the little woman
thinks so much of them"
He hesitated moment and then
went in again, reappearing shortly
with an old macintosh.
'Just the thing TO spread over the
bed to defend them from the frost"
he muttered and with long strides
crossed the rectory garden and leaped
the hedge.
Feeling a good deal like a night
prowler who had no business in tho
place, he crept through his little neigh.
boris garden and approached the cro-
Gus bed near the porch. He started
at the slightest sound and glanced
about fearfully. Suppose anybody
should see him--one of his parishion-
ers-even his major-domol He forgot
the night was dark; it seemed to his
excited imagination that anybody pass
ing along the road could see him
the rector Of st. James'-prowling
about beneath n lady's Window
Suddenly, just as he spread the COW
ering over the crocus bed and was
turning hastily to flee, he heard n
sound ON the porch. He started, and
his eyes became fixed upon the vision
before him. A figure, all in white,
and motionless, stood upon the lower
step.
The Rev. Wetherby Smiles was
startled, but he was not superstitious.
For some seconds, however, he stared
ct the apparition before he recognized
it. Then he stepped quickly forward
and began to make excuses in a low
voice.
"Mrs. Scorritch - Lydia Il beg
your pardon, but 1 thought"
He got no further in his faltering
remarks. With shuddering little
cry the figure tottered and would have
fallen to the ground had he not sprung
forward and caught her in his arms.
Good graciousl" muttered the Rev.
Mr.. Smiles, the perspiration starting
on his brow. "What a situation.
Suppose anybody should see me now.
To think of me--a clergyman--in q
woman's garden at night, holding that
woman in my arms!"
He was tempted to lay her down
upon the porch and run. But he
looked down into the little white face,
revealed by the faint starlight. The
pale lids were drawn over the great
eyes, which he thought so glorious.
The pouting lips had not entirely lost
their redness, but the cheeks were
without color.
He looked upon her, and then did
not lay her down and flee. Instead
he stopped lower and--lifted her more
closely against his breast and carried
his burden into the house. There
was couch in the reception room. He
laid her down and lighted the gas. She
opened her eyes languidly and saw
him.
~ have frightened you, LYDIA" he
said, STOPPING above her. "Really,I
had no intention, you know. l only
the crocuses-"
IL thought YOU were burglar"
she admitted "And when l heard
your voice -"
Didn't you recognize it?" he
asked.
"You-you had never spoken to me
in just that way before, and"
He bent lower and took her hand.
81 was only thinking OF the crocuses,
Lydia" he said, which was very true.
He had quite forgotten the "creed."

THE FIGHT FOR DURRANT.
Two Final MOves-Parents Give Up
All Home.


SAN FRANCISCO, January Sin the
United States Circuit Court to-day,
Judges Morrow and DeHaven rendered
their decision in the Durrant case, sub
mitted TO them yesterday. They denied
the application for a writ of habeas
corpus. and also refused to grant Dur
rants attorneys leave TO appeal from
this decision.
Although the attorneys for Durrant, the
condemned murderer of Blanche Lamont,
were considerably disconnected by the de-
nial OF their application for a writ CT
habeas corpus, and permission to appeal
therefrom. in the United States circuit
Court this morning, they have yet TWO
more moves by means of which they
hope TO prevent the execution or ther
client on Friday next. These are TO ap-
neal 10 the Governor for a reprieve, and
to apply to the Supreme Court of the
United states for an appeal from the Cir
crit Court decision denying the petition
for q writ Of habeas corpus.
Attorney l.. b. Boardman, who left here
on Saturday last is expected TO reach
washington tonight, and VIII probably
make the latter application tomorrow
morning While little reliance is being
placed upon the Governor, strong pres
sure is being brought to bear upon him
on behalf Of the condemned murderer,
and no stone is being left unturned in the
effort 10 gain Executive clemency. Mean
time. Warden Hale has completed all his
arrangements for the carrying out Of the
sentence. and so little faith have Dur
rants parents in the present efforts to
save their son that they have requested
certain minister TO mount the scafold
with him. Arrangements for the funeral
are also being made.
