As yet she had not spoken, but he gave

to the window and looked down the
highway. Nothing was observed, and
she returned to her seat.
"He heard of it last evening, and
could scarcely believeit. There has new
er been IL lynching in this part of the
state, and it would have been horrible
had an innocent man been the victim.
Colonel MansIey's first belief was that it
was Mr.. Boyer who had taken his horse
and been caught at it, and he was angry
enough to express the wish to take part
in his punishment. He, however,
changed his mind "
! was hopeful that there would be
some explanation of her visit to the inn.
My curiosity was to know whether that
remarkable call was made under the be-
lief that the real Hank Boyer was in
peril or whether from the first it had
been her wish to save guiltless man
from punishment. [ dared not ask the
question, and she did not choose to en-
tighten me.
Il have been wondering" / said
after moments silence, "whether Mr..
Boyer was not conscience smitten when
he saw my peril and whether he would
not take some steps to save me.
Not hen' she exclaimed, with an
other flash of her black eyes. did he
not have the opportunity and yet fail
to use it:''
because it would have involved him
III danger. But he could place himself
beyond reach of the mob and then send
word to them Of the truth. "
She shook her head decisively.
"A man who commits such a wrong
as he did is not the one to correct it
And yet the truth would be certain
to come to light ere long. His and my
identity would be established 3"
'StiIl he could have escaped by plac-
ing himself at his own leisure beyond
reach Of the law Do you not see also
that If your mutual identity was made
clear it would not have removed the
taint from your name-that is, on the
part of the unreasoning ones who accuse
you:'
"Why not:"
The missing horse was in your pos
session. That is enough to condemn you
with unthinking people. Mr.. Boyer had
only to deny the purchase as you ex-
planned it, and he would have been gen
orally believed. 1t was Il grave error on
your part to humor the fancy that you

was too absurd to satisfy them.

they who rushed headlong to violence.
Why should they forget that Mississippi
is state where law and right prevail?"
Our conversation ran on delightfully."-
for more than an hour, when it was
broken by gentle tap on the door, and,
in response to Miss Mansley's call, it
was opened, and the colored girl stood
before us. She looked at me queerly, as
if she did not quite understand things,
and said:
"Nlr. Boyer is at the door and would
like to see yo' if it's 'greeable. "
Ask him to wait few minutes. -

woman.

catching her courageous spirit,
All that she said was true The house
