"Ah!" cried Faith, simply shudder-
ing at him.
Rafferty, gave hoarse laugh. "Come
of the nest now, me little chicken!
It's your own doin's if l have to hurt

Suddenly Faith felt that she was free.
Rafferty, had loosed her, and stood lis

Rafferty, had not been the last to per-
ceive that this was true. 1t settled the
situation between him and Mike once
more, and for the last time. Mike walked
slowly forward. hurting taunts at his
old enemy:
"Chuck me your weepins, Raffy, me
| boy. You'll not want them where
you'll be goin' shortly; you'll not be
huntin' seabs in Boise City"
At the mention of Boise. which is the
city of approximate justice and of oc-
casional punishment, Rafferty, gave
Mike bitter look; but he offered no
retort.
81 hope the climate will agree with
ye," Mike proceeded. II hear it's a
nobby buildin, the Pen, an the boys is
doin' little rard'nin'. Ye'll make a
fine gard ner, Rafferty,; Idoubt yen turn
out pious fraction of man."
AS he came opposite to the spot where
his prisoner stood, Mike raised his rife
and lowered his head, and suddenly he
opened cry. like one mad schoolboy de-
| flying another:
run, Rafferty,, me bould boy!" he
yelled. "The scabs is after ye! Get a
move on youl Shake it up, man! Hit
the road!" and as Rafferty, ran, Mike,
roaring with laughter, leaped upon the
top of the bank, and sent his big voice
after the fugitive:
"The boat is in, Rafferty,! And the
throops is on boardl That's right, I'm

Long after Rafferty, was clean out of
hearing Mike continued to disperse his
soul in barbaric boots and howls, till
Darcie, raising on his elbow TO listen for
another sound, bade him hold his in
fernal riot.
A quarter of mile away the troops
were disembarking. The orders de-
manded quiet landing, but Mike had
heard the roll call on board the boat be-
fore she touched the shore. And now

ism, much of his architecture and mu-
sic, hi, pride and ceremonious manner,
his social characteristics (appearing
chiefly in his treatment Of women),
his tribal instincts, and want of admin

impossible for the various petty king

Mr.. Morris was no advocate for thick
paper, but he had long before found
out that machine-made paper of wood
pulp and clay was useless for perma-
nent results, to say nothing of the un-
interesting quality OF its surface. Ths
latter failing is factor by no means
unimportant in the beauty of book.

The hunted man sprang up and ran.
Once he turned his head over his shoul-
der, and saw his pursuer following him
with cool aim. He plunged into the
bushes. cleared the bank and splashed
into the river.
The man with the rifle stood on the
bank and waited. Faith could have
touched him where he stood. He
watched till the swimmers head showed
plainly beyond the shoreward shadow.

and the river did not refuse to quench
his thirst.
Faith crept back TO her place; her
sleeper still slept. The man by the
river turned her way. and set his feet
again upon the bank. She slipped the
mantle from her shoulders, and laid
It, as soft as the rose of silence, upon
Darcie's face. The silk-lined fods set
tied into place; he did not move. So
he had looked when she had though;
him dead. She clasped her hands upon
her knees. and bent her head upon them.

close beside her; she merely breathed.
There was silence; then voice said:

She did not answer. Dan Rafferty,

Dead, is he? I don't think you can

"There is dead man whose face you
will see in the day you go to meet your
God!" Faith pointed to the river. She
had risen, and placed herself between
Rafferty, and her sleeper; and was aware
that Darcie was stirring, and her flesh
rose in horror; she had no hope, only
to postpone the moment of discovery.
