When the launch approached, Ar

There were several richly dressed
young women In the party. John Burt
saw at glance that Norris and some
OF his companions were under the in

much, and her suspicious became a

The fashily-dressed throng Of
guests was grouped behind Arthur
Morris. One Of the young women
grasped Arthur Morris By the lapel
OF the coat.
Come on, you fool" she said with
a vindIctive little laugh. Don't you
see you're not wanted?" She turned
him half round and Kingsley grabbed
him by the arm.

Sam. John hung back dehantly
Come on, John, Jessie's waitin fer
YET"
At the sound OF Jessie's name a
wave of agony swept over John Burt.
With glance at the motionless form
OF Morris. he turned and followed
Sam Rounds. No hand was raised to
stop him. The witnesses Of the trag
edy, held in a spell, had eyes for
naught but its victim.
Jessie ran forward to meet him,
her face white with fear.
"Oh, what has happened John?
What has happened?" Her voice trem-
bled and her lips parted with a vague
terror. Are you shot? Are you hurt,
John? Oh. tell me, Johnl"
I'm not hurt, darling" said John.

thing has happened and we must
leave at once. | viii tell you about it
on the way home"
BY stern effort John Burt master
ed his emotions and calmly told Jessie
what had happened. He said no word
OF the shameful insults in which her
name had been banded in a public
drinking place. He explained that a
quarrel had arisen. during which Nor
ris had been shot with his own weap-
on. Jessie listened breathlessly. It
had grown so dark that John could
not see her face, but there was a
tremor in her voice when she asked:
VIII he die. John?
Il fear so" replied John.
1t might have been imagination, but
he thought that Jessie shuddered and
drew away from him. They heard the
rapid beat Of hoofs behind them and
she clutched his arm.
Out OF the darkness a horse, madly
ridden. dashed forward, and was pull
ed back on his launches by the side
OF the carriage. A face peered in
the homely but welcome face Of Sam

Sam gave the horses a cut Of the
whip which sent them dashing down
the road. A few minutes later they
reached the Bishop farmhouse. Sam
held the excited horses while John
helped Jessie to alight.

Sam in a whisper.

maple and held her hands in his.
