THE BLACK KILLER.

That IS James Moore had predicted
was the first only OF a long succession Of
such solitary crimes.
Those who have not lived In de-
ISOLATE country like that about tho Muir
Pike. where sheep are paramount and ey-
cry other man engaged IN the profession
pastoral, can barely Imagine the sensa-
ton aroused. In market-place. tavern, or
cottage, the subject of conversation was
always the latest shcep-murder and the
criminal,
Somstimes there would be a lull, and
the shepherds would begin to breathe
more freely Then there would come a
stormy night, when lhn heayens were
yelled In the cloak Of crime. and Tho Wind
moaned htfully oyer meres ana marches,
and another victim would be added 10
the lcngthening list. ,i05
II was always such black nights, nights
of wind and weather, WHEN no man would
lie abroad, that the murderer chose for
his bloody work; and that was how no
