is only too evident that thu man is
terribly infatuated with you, and no

Mr.. Hamilton did not speak sneer-

plausible idea, and it looked so rea-
sonable that Constance was exceed

window and looked out.

shooting. ''He looks brighter and
takes notice of things. But, some
how, he acts a little mite queer.
How? doesn't he know you"

: Working together, one of the horses
:. Working together, one of his horses
was quickly harnessed, and the quar-
ter Of a mile distance to DR.. Peck's
quickly covered by Brown Nell, whose
feet flew as never before, under the
reins held by Mr.. Green.
The doctor was at home and re-
turned in the buggy, and. in a few
minutes was kneeling beside the re-
cumbent figure.
''The wound Il, bad one, but not
necessarily fatal" he said, after he had
examined with great care the hole
made by the bullet in the temple. 'It
glanced upward, and that saved him,
most likely. He will have to be taken
somewhere
HE boards at Mrs. Fry's," said Mr..
Carter.
Every well. He must be removed
there at once" said the doctor, land
then will probe for the bullet.''
A door was taken from its hinges
and four men carried the insensible
form to his boarding place, where he
was tenderly cared for by Mrs. Fry.
The bullet was extracted by DR.. Peck,
and. the wound thoroly attended to.
Then the physician left the house, say
ing heTwould look in at his patient in
an hour or so.
Meanwhile an excited group of men
were searching the grounds and woods
about the Hamilton place for traces Of
Would-be murderer, supposing the
affair not to be an attempt at suicide.
Many declared it most certainly was
that! the inclination Of the wound be-
ing upward proved that his own hand
nred the shot, unless It was done by
some person who stood very near him
at the time. The pistol, too, being the
property Of Fry, in whose mothers
house Edes boarded, also proved it,
they said; for there was no doubt now
that the weapon really belonged to
Dan, ne having appeared on the scene
and claimed it. There was no ques-
ton about his not having fired it, for
at the time the shot was heard Dan
stood talking in the door Of the black
smiths shop with half a dozen men.
On the other hand, the river was
near, and there were indications of a
boat having been lately drawn up
among the alders that fringed the
bank, and later one was found a lit
tie below the village, where It had
come to natural moorage under an
overhanging limb of an immense tree.
The river was much shaded; it was
not impossible for a person to have
escaped that way while attention was
being paid to the wounded man: and
in that case he had most likely taken
to the woods after leaving the boat.
The boat was the one kept by the rail-
road men and used by the village
children to row about, and the woods
extended several miles back to a
small settlement known as Bags Hill.
From there it was but short distance
into Maine.
These surmises and the search. kept
a tn =,
serving the great agitation Of Mrs.
Hamilton and her husband. They
soon entered the house together,
where Mrs. Hamilton suddenly faced
him and asked, excitedly:
DO you know how he was shot?''
"Assuredly do not, Constance. 7
