WhileeMelyin sat there puzzling over
his situation, unable to decide which

just beyond clump of trees. That
noise sounded like some one coughing,
and 1t brought thrill Of Joy and ray

Getting his horse in motion as soon

rode forward until he had passed the
trees. There, sitting on q log. with his
elbows resting on his knees and his
face in his hands, was an old man who
had every appearance of being native

THE ILLINOIS CENTRAL
AND The
Pan-American Exposition.

In none of the new Industries of the
last decade has there been greater pro.
gress than in the art Of preparing and
managing great expeditions. Ii was
often said after the Worlds Fair closed
its gates that this country would not
see its equal in fifty years. That pre.
dicti0n will be disproved in the present
year of 1901; for in ali but the SPACE oc.
cupied, the Pan-American Exposition
at Buffalo will excel the great show Of
1888. This means that more can be-
seen in the same length of time at the
Pan American, with less of the fatigue
and WEAKNESS that was unavoidable At
the Worlds Fair. The exhibits will be-
as varid, interesting and instruct ye as
1t Is possible to make them; and In the,
matter of entertainment features, the
Buffalo show will surpass all former ex.
positions.
An artistic booklet, of sixteen psges.
beautifully illustrated, and giving
concise description of what this great
exposition is to be, will be mailed free
on application to the undersigned,
The Illinois Central is prepared to

the hard rond leading south from the
village there came the sound Of horse
In full gnllop. The rest all heard 1t
and stood waiting In breathless silence.
An inquiring glance passed from one
to another through the group, but not
a word was spoken.
Ten minutes passed, and then a lone
horsemnn. wrapped in n cloud of dust.
appeared on little rise quarter of a
mile away. The women screamed, the
children set up cry and the men
grew winter than ever. Ebenezer
Sparks-well. It was not until the ex-
element was over that any one knew
what he did with himself.
The horseman was bareheaded, and
as he came madly charging into the vii
lage his hair was flying wildly In the
wind, and his face looked almost ghost
ly in its pallor.
ely for your liyesw he shouted when
he was near enough to make himself
heard. ely quick, for they're accom-
in, an you'll all be killed! Fly! Flyw
No one moved or spoke. They were
all so terror stricken that they had lost
the power to move either limb or
tongue.
They're a-comin; they're a-comin; a
million of emp the horseman shouted
hoarsely. IAN they're a-killin an
a-slayin an a-slaughterin an Albumin
as they go! Fly, fly. for your livesv'
Then as the full meaning Of the horse
mans words began to dawn on them a
new and uncomfortable fear seized on
the people. Some of them turned to
run away ms fast as their trembling
limbs would carry them, some sat down
and. hiding their faces, burst into lam
entatlons. while two or three women
tainted. The whole population Of the
village was on the verge of a wild pam
ic, and In another moment there would
have been general stampede to the
country.
"Holdw suddenly cried a voice among
them. 1t was firm, confident voice
and voice to be needed and obeyed.
Hold! There is no danger. and mo-
body is going to be hurt"
The people looked around, and there
in their midst they saw a tall, mild
looking young man with a pair Of keen
black eyes and firm cast Of counte-
nance that were calculated to COM
mand respect and even obedience. He
was a stranger there. and from whence

he had come and how he had SO sud-
denly appeared in the village were
mysteries, but they were mysteries the
people did not stop to consider Just
then. Had an angel from henven up
peared among the denizens Of Beckett's
Mill at that moment they would scarce
ly have considered It strange. for to
them 1t was day OF strange and mys-
terious happenings.

The horseman spurred his horse and
attempted to ride on, but the stranger
took hold Of the bride with one hand
and with the other drew pistol from
his pocket, which he pointed at the
horseman's head.

CHAPTER Ill.
SEEKING REFORMATION.

Ses~>A>HNNN e~Se SAs~-N~AN
James Melvin was in no very pleas
ant humor to begin with.
Since early morning he had been In
the saddle, and for ~ long hours he
had followed the tortuous course Of n
dimly marked road which wound I'M
certainly up and down and in and out
among the rugged hills that border the
Missouri river.
His assertion that the horse he rode
possessed gait like that of q COW was
not an exaggeration, and neither was
that other assertion. that he was hun
grier than bear. He had eaten moth
ing since early morning. and his break
fast, secured at log cabin back in the
hills, had not been anything like as
sumptuous as he could have desired.
And now, on top Of these discomforts.
James Melvin had suddenly awakened
to realization of the fact that he was
lost - lost. with night and darkness
coming on and nothing to guide him
back to his course.
Since leaving Beckett's. Mill he had
Travelled the main road for short dis
lance. then had turned off to follow a
path that led up q ridge through a
dark. heavy forest For time he got
on very well, but by and by he came to
point where the path gave out, and.
having nothing to further guide him,
he began to ramble about the wood in
an uncertain manner. This he contin-
ued for an hour before he discovered
that he was merely wandering around
and around. and 1t dawned on him that
he was lost.
He reined up his horse to consider
his situation and to try to decide what
he had better do under the circum-
stances. He found that refining up his
horse was the easiest thing he had at
tempted that day. The animal may
