NOW, Doctor, replied Stuart WITH
sad smile. u don't like to say won't
but I5shall sag it his time. I feel as II
ought to gofIown to the square. There
is going to be u. bad nights work, I'm
afraid. but not without a protest from
Mr.. Burke and myself.r
"4All right. so your ways! And if you
get your heads broken don't send for
me to glue the pieces together again."
Tie doctor went back to Eric, and
Stuart, after sending word that he and
Mr. Burke would be right down and

around a horse and buggy, drove hur-

on opposite sides of the stand, and
the confusion was doubled by their at
tempt. The mob of men swayed rest
lessly about the stand, which was
lighted by an electric hanging lamp.
The square was almost as light as in
the daytime. Out on side track of
the railroad which skirted one side of
the square the troops that had come in
that afternoon were quartered in the
coaches which brought them. There
We're two companies, and they had
been ordered for some reason to re
