A family living in North side fat lately

bodily from the ground. he shook him
as mastiff would terrier.
Hands off" painted the helpless
man. fiercely. "Curse you. what are
you trying to do?"
He was not long in doubt. for Tom
hurled him against the side of a stone
building with such force that he fell in
an inert heap and lay motionless.
Tom turned to see what had become
of the taller man. but at that instant he
felt sharp pain in his side and a strong
hand seized him by the throat and bent
him backwards, while q hoarse voice

again the fellow lunged viciously at
him. but Tom caught his wrist, and
desperate struggle ensued. Although
much the stronger man, Tom found it
no easy task to avoid the blade. and the
two swayed back and forth over the
snow. the man trying to free his hand
for decisive stroke. and Tom bending
all his efforts to prevent it. Soon, how
ever, his iron grip began to tell, and be
felt his enemy's muscles relax. Putting
all his strength into a supreme effort,
he wrenched the knife free, exclaim-
ing:
I've got you now, you murderer. and
don't leave you till you are behind the
bars!"
But even in the moment of his victory
he felt cold ring of steel pressed
against his ear. and these ominous
words sounded behind him:
Hold up your hands, mister, or
you're dead man! Quick, say, or I'll
shoot!"
1t was moment of fearful peril.
There was murder in the mans tones,
and Tom felt it. He released his grasp
slowly, and the larger man pushed him
suddenly backward. crying:
"Shoot him, you idiot"
His action saved Toms life, for the
other man pressed the trigger at the
same instant, the bullet passing foot
in front of the young mans face, and
f1attening against the wall at his side.
Tom still retained the knife, and with
quick slash he struck the hand which
held the revolver, causing the owner to
drop it, with yell of pain, and dash off
toward the street at full speed, followed
by his companion. who had evidently no
desire to face Tom alone.
