had only one glazed opening and
nothing but blank wall on it's east
ern side. What did this mean? The
Colonel rubbed his forehead Was it
possible that he had slept into the
afternoon and that the sun was de-.
scending instead of rising? He got
up and hurriedly dressed himself.
Then he walked to the window.
Merciful powers! There were iron
bars across the outside Of it! The
mystery deepened. AS he stood
there staring 10, the face Of Dingle,
of the hated Dingle, appeared and
looked in at him.
The Colonel staggered against the
wall and caught his head il his hands.
Was this hideous dream or was it
reality? Dingle remained at the win
dow but spoke no word. All he did
was to grin, in sarcastic way and
draw the lid partly down over his
glass eye.
That half-wink broke tho spell.
With roar the Colonel rushed to the
cot and grabbed up the Winchester.
"Villain!" he cried, tossing the gun
to his shoulder. "Your insolence has
overshot the mark! You have dared,
to come. into this town again and this
time I've got you. Egad, we'll teach
you lesson now that you won't soon

CHAPTER XIV.

On the night Col. Keever guarded
the county records, he took with him
into the courthouse a Winchester
rifle and pint flask. Kentucky born
and bred it is to be presumed that
he was as familiar with one of these
weapons as he was with the other
Be that as it may, however, it is GER
tain that he fortified his courage
to such an extent that he slept
soundly throughout all the opera
tious connected with the moving of
the building.
So level was the road leading from
the courthouse site in Concord to
the vacant square in Harmony, and
SO skillfully did the enemy work, that
Col. Keever, if he realized anything
at all, could only think that the
storm was most furious and that
this half-finished structure was sad
ly in need of underpinning.
a never-to-be-forgotten picture he
presented to Capt. Blue and his In
vincibles, who did the work connect
ed with the moving. In the light of
an occasional lightning flash the
Colonel could be viewed at leisure
by any. one who wished to walk along
beside one of the windows and peer
into the single unfinished room
which the building contained.
The great man was lying upon q
cot in such way as to reveal the
noble proportions of his platonic
brow. Under the cot was the tin box
containing the precious records and
close beside the cot lay the empty
flask. The Coloners pillow partly
covered the rifle, only the stock and
muzzle of the weapon being in evil
dence. AS the Colonel slept he
smiled-sn,iled condescendingly in
that superior manner which was q
part of him. He was dreaming
dreams, no doubt, and pleasant ones.
1t was late in the morning when
the awakening came. The rain had
ceased, the clouds had dispelled and
burst of June sun trailed in
through an eastern window. The
Colonel stirred restlessly, opened his
eyes and yawned. The melancholy
gaze he rested on the empty flask
changed to a look of pride as his
eyes took in the box of records, all
intact. 1t would have taken an army
corps to separate him from those
documents.
Suddenly he had a startling
thought and he jerked spasmodically
and blinked in his bewilderment.
Then he lay quite still, thinking.
What business had the morning sun
shining through western window?
The courthouse, at the present stage,

made little difference to him which
way he went, he kept straight on.
He saw at least half dozen of the
lnyincibles raise their guns to their
shoulders. Instantly he threw up.
his hand.
Don't shoot!" he cried, thinking
the weapons were aimed at him.
I'm unarmed"
AT that precise juncture report
came from behind him and a bullet
sang past his ear. He turned in his
saddle to launch threat and warn
ing at Pettibone and his men and,
just as he did so, spiteful volley
leaped from the muzzles Of the
leveled guns ahead.
Guy felt a sharp sting in his side
as though a knife-point had pricked
him.
stop shooting!" he cried again,
and the quivering impotence of his
voice amazed him. stop shooting or
you'll kill somebody" He had in
tended to make the shout a lusty
one but it was scarcely more than a
whisper.
Everything in his line of vision be-
gan to reel. The horsemen in front
became tangled in maze. He raised
himself in his stirrups, pressed both
hands over the burning spot in his
side and then pitched Reinforcement
from his saddle.

CHAPTER XIV

"Aren't you joking, Waffle?" asked
Guy, whose credulity was sorely taxed
by the judges statement.
This is altogether too serious a
matter to joke about. Concord can
spare Keever just as well as not, but
it's big loss to have the records and
the courthouse stolen. / guess we'll
have to tally one for Harmony this
innings"
This explains what V1andingham
said to Pinchbeck," said Guy, refec-
lively
what was that?"
"Why, that fools build courthouses
and wise men occupy them"
That's about what it amounts to.

ter at the other end of it. She's the

The Indignation committee, if such
it might be called, did not put in an APP

morning. Late in the afternoon of the
following day, however, as Guy was
seated at the writing table in the hotel.

to Miss Betty, five representative cit

Mr.. PAney, the druggist, was one of

of the livery stable; and Mr.. Glimmer,
of the Emporium; and Mr.. Biggs, the
county easurer-carrying tin box
and. last if not least, the redoubtab,e
Colonel.
The redoubtable Colonel had had "a
hours in which to recover his equipoise
and he had succeeded admirably. To
look at him now, his white hat tipped
slightly over his right eye, the tip of
his cane planted firmly on the office
floor, one foot thrown over the other,
his frock coat caught together with the
two lower buttons and his left hand
thrust into his bosom-to look at him
thus, he gave no suggestion of his wild
struggle and exhausting footrace of
the preceding afternoon.
Guy minced into fine fragments the
dozenth sheet on which he had tried to
write. threw the pieces into waste
basket and turned upon the gentlemen
who were grouped beside him. He
noted their grim and determined looks
and there was portentous silence.
"The VOLTS legs performed excellent
service yesterday afternoon re-
marked Guy, by way of breaking the
ice.
"We have not come here to discuss
that particular wolf sir" answered
the Colonel, with an uneasy side glance
in the direction of his friends. can

The Colonels bosom began to heave.
1t was the wolf, probably, seeking to
get out. and show its white teeth, and
snap. But the wolf did no more than
shake its chin, for the Colonel Gained
the brute after prodigious effort.

counts are as follows:
