There was a yell at this, and those
who heard the speaker would probably
have started for the Crossroads had
not rumor sprung up which passed
rapidly from man to man and in a few
moments had reached every person in
the crowd. The news came that the
two shell gamblers had wrenched bar
out of a window under cover of the
storm, had broken Jail and were at
large. Their threats of the day before
were remembered now with convincing
ytvidness. They had sworn repeatedly
to Bardlock and to the sheriff and in the
hearing of others that they would do"
for the man who had taken their mon
ey from them and had them arrested.
The prosecuting attorney, quickly per-
ceiving the value of this complication
in holding back the mob that was al
ready forming, called Horner from the
crowd and made him get I'D on the
fence and confess that his prisoners
had escaped, at what time he did not
know, probably toward the beginning
OF the storm, when it was noisiest.
You see," cried the attorney, there
is nothing as yet of which we can ac-
cuse the Crossroads. If our friend has
been hurt it is much more likely that
these crooks did it. They escaped in
| time 10 do it. and we all know they
were laying for him. You want to be
mighty careful, fellow citizens. Hor-
ner is already in telegraphic commune
cation with every town around here,
and he'll have those men before night.
All you've got to do is to control your
selves a little and go home quietly"

majestically. and then. between great
curtains of mist. the day star was seen
shining in the east.
The night was hushed, and the peace
that falls before dawn was upon the
wet fiat lands. Somewhere in the sod
den grass q swamped cricket chirped;
from an outlying fiange of the village
a dogs howl rose mournfully; it was
answered by another far away and by
another and another. The sOnorous
chorus rose above the village, died
away, and quiet fell again.
Helen sat by the window, no comfort
touching her heart. Tears coursed her
cheeks no longer, but her eyes were
wide and staring, and her lips parted
breathlessly, for the hush was broken
by the far clamor of the courthouse
bell ringing in the night. 1t rang and
rang and rang and rang. She could
not breathe. She threw open the win
dow. The bell stopped. All was quiet
once more. The east was gray.
Suddenly out of the stiffness there
came the sound of a horse galloping
over a wet road. He was coming like
mad. Some one for a doctor? No; the
hoof beats grew louder, coming out
from the town, coming faster and
faster coming here There was

dim light of first dawn she made out

A window to the right of hers went
screeching up. She heard the judge
clear his throat before he spoke.

Wiley? What is itY' He took a good
deal of time and coughed between the
sentences. His voice was more than
ordinarily quiet, and it sounded husky.

NzSAJ no uncertain touch, was on
the rope. A loud, wild, hurried clamor
pealing out to wake the countryside,
rapid clangi clang! clang! that struck
