 A moment later the sheriff came into l the passage panting and perspiring. "Well, 1 lowed the niggers had rig, ''
 he laughed.
 Briefly Ronald explained what he had come for and Ratcliff pulled his long
 brown beard thoughtfully-. He would
 have made joke if he were at a funeral and the joke had been at the expense of the corpse.

 'sI've killed Sydney Hart, Mrs. Rat cliff.'' He gave this explanation after slight hesitation, for he feared that being a woman and alone with him it might upset her nerves.
 tsYou don't say,' she ejaculated; ~well. I'll be switched.''
 She did not seem more surprised than if he had told her that he had had a tooth extracted, and then he remem- bered that she had been Ratcliff's com panion in many rough experience. One night when he was taking three desperadoes to jail and had stopped at home for refreshments, he found that 1 the mountain streams ahead were so much swollen by recent rains that he could not go on, and, there was nothing 1 open to him but to convert their com pany room into 2 temporary prison.

 added: q might as we'll get out here
 and walk up to the house."
 Her only answer was to whip up the
 pony; her face was pinched by pain as she drew up at the gate in front of the house. He got out, "Good-by," he said. She held out her hand. "Good-by," she echoed, and as he took
 her hand he felt her quivering fingers tighten round his own. ''I am going to pray for you night and day." she said.
 And then she turned heripony and drove slowly homeward. As he was entering
 the gate, he saw her stop and look
 back; then she signaled him to come to
 her. Obeying, he found her face wet 1 with tears.
 "Is there nothing I can do for you ?'' she questioned. He reflected, and then:
