Monday morning about eleven o'clock
Ratcliff hustled into the Jail, making
jcvial remarks to the keepers wife
about her bad cooking killing the pris-
oners, and went up to Ronald.
II couldn't git heer minute earlier"
he told our hero, as he came In. "All

Ronald asked him If the hour for the
trial had been set.
"You bet it has," grinned Ratcliff, as
he took fresh chew OF tobacco and
thrust the remainder of the plug back
into his coat pocket. "They tried their
level best to stave it off, but told 'em

added the sheriff, his eyes averted, "if
didn't think it is always better to be
prepared for the worst. I don't want
to give the prosecution q chance to ex
ult over yore looks. When told my
wife how the case stood this mornin',
she actually cried. A body never can
tell how Squire Richardson is gwine to
act; he's little wishy-washy; he tries
to imagine he belongs to the aristoo-
racy. Jest minute ago seed i'm in

"He's not friend Of mine," ex-
planned Ronald, despondently.
do you mean that he is shore
'nough enemy?" questioned Ratcli6,
with some concern.
IT think he would like to see me
suffer as heavily as possible In this
matter, Mr.. Ratcliff."
"That accounts for 1t, them" the
sheriff muttered an oath to him

Ronald fixed the sheriff with keen
glance.
Don't you think that the trial will
go against me?" he questioned.
Ratcilff seemed slightly taken aback
by the pointed query. He hesitated for
a moment, and then he answered eva
sively:
"Thad Williams testimony is the big
gest thing we have to contend with.
DR.. Abe Sloan is summoned. After the
corpse reached home the family called
i'm in to make an examination; he
probed for the ball, an will show 1t In

The prisoner shuddered visibly.
''Did Col. Hasbrooke have anything
to say about the case?" he asked.
"Not to me, he didn't, but when Capt.

ayes, I want to talk to you about her,
but not in the way you perhaps an
ticipate, Col. Hasbrooke," said the cap
tain, almost patronizingly. II felt it
my duty as a personal friend of yours
to come directly to you"
ut must be proposal, after ALL"
thought the old gentleman, whose face
was diyesting itself of its look of per-
plexity, "the fellow is badly rattled.'
He waved his hand towards tn. cap
tain's chair and sat down himself.
Wrinkle took his seat and crossed his
tightly clad legs, his spurs jingling as
he moved.
That's right, Capt. Winkle," went
on the older man, chats always best;
like the old way-a father has the big
gest interest in daughter after all has
been said"
Wrinkles attention seemed not to
fasten to this last remark.
MAY ask if Miss Evelyn is at
home?" he asked, introductively.
Hasbrooke could not restrain smile.
He told himself that he had never
dreamt that Wrinkle would be knocked
Off his feet by such formality, and yet
it showed that the fellow was hard hit,
and that was what he ought to be.
81 don't know" replied he, but" he
added, "of course she is; she is never
out SO late as this alone, and she went
for drive shortly after dinner. Shall
I send up your card?" The colonel
reached out for the old-fashioned tas-
seled bell-pull.
II should like to know If she is at
home, for sure" said Wrinkle; "if-if
she is, there can be no immediate dan
ger--though j feel certain"
"Danger!" calculated the colonel,
what the devil do you mean, sir?"
Colonel, you may regard me as med
ding where have no right, but fatter
myself that you cannot fail to appre-
ciate thing done purely in your inter-
est, and under sense of duty. The
truth is, 1 saw Miss Evelyn in the cart
with Ronald Fanshaw driving rapidly
away from the scene Of the shooting.
They were going towards the railroad
station. I have hesitated for three
hours over what ought to do, and ut

The colonel stepped towards him, and
raised his two hands as if to clutch the
speakers throat, but he restrained his
fury and stood staring in Wrinkles
face.

he Numbered.

she was falling in love with this fellow;
but could not feel that had the right

he shook from head to foot as man
with palsy. He put his hands behind
him and held them tightly one in the
other.
