old bishop followed, bearing Raridan

Saxton, half turning to go.
He's badly hurt" said: the old
man. There was a dark stain on his
coat where Raridans had lain against
him. He tore open Raridan's shirt
and thrust his hand underneath; and
when he drew it out, shaking his gray
head, it had touched something wet.
Wheaton came with pail Of water,
pumped by the windmill into trough
at the rear Of the house. He had
broken the thin ice with his hands.

Wheaton followed Saxton to the
hall, where they cut loose the remain

it, and the animal sprang into a gall
lop at the door. Wheaton watched
the horse and rider disappear thru
the starlight; he wished that he could
go with Saxton. He turned back with
sick terror to the room where Rari-

The bishop had rolled his overcoat

the old man; and Wheaton drew near
the table, and with a shudder thrust
his hand into the pocket Of Raridan's
coat.

cold; he had a feeling that the man
lying there must be dead. If only help
would come, Raridan might live! He
would accept everything else, but to
be a MURDERED have lured man to
his doom! The bishop did not speak
to him save now and then word in
change in Raridan, or to ask help in
moving him. The dry wood burned
brightly in the fireplace and lighted
the room. The bishop asked the time.
HE could hardly go and come in
less than two hours" said Wheaton.
He lifted his head.
.'They are coming now" The short
patter of pony hoofs was heard and
he went into the hall to open the
doors. Two horsemen were just turn
ing into the corral. Saxton had found
the one doctor of the village at home,
young man trained in an eastern
hospital but already used to long,
rough rides over the prairies. The
two men threw themselves to the
ground, and let their ponies run loose.
Saxton did not speak to Wheaton, who
followed him and the doctor into the
house.
HAS he been conscious at all?"
asked the doctor.
The bishop shook his head. The
doctor was already busy with his ex-
animation, and the three men stood
and watched him silently. Saxton
stepped forward and helped, when
there was need, to turn the wounded
man and to strip away his clothing. The
skilled fingers Of the surgeon worked
swiftly, producing shining instru-
ments and sponges as he needed
them. from the blue lining of his pea
Jacket. Suddenly he paused and bent
down close to the stricken mans

then and put his finger on Raridan's
wrist. He had not spoken and his
face was very grave. Saxton touched
his arm.

but bent again over Raridan, who

stuck to his fingers. Having gained

and one morning, stopping his gig, he
entered into understanding talk with

while the talk went on the tomb

had 'chisel in one hand and a mall

his tomb the words, Sacred to the

'This proceeding, for some reason,
amused the physician. Watching the

~ aud groaned as Wheaton bent close
to him. Wheaton detached the cup
from the bottom of the flask and
poured some of the brandy into it..
The bishop, motioning him to stand
ready with it, raised Raridan gently,
and together they pressed the silver
cup to his lips.
That will do. I think he swal-
lowed a little" said the bishop.

head was growing hot under his

There was shed at the back Of the
house where wood had been kept
in the old days of the Poindex-

an excuse to get away from the pros

place. There was a terrible silence in
the old house,-a silence that filled
all the world, a silence that could not
be broken, 1t seemed to him, save by
some new thing of dread. There be-

turned to go on his errand, lighting a
match to get his bearings, when a
sound on the stairway startled him;
there was figure there-the wan,
frightened face of Grant Porter
looked down at him. He had for
gotten the boy, whom Saxton had left
in the hall above. Grant shrank back
on the stairs, not recognizing him. II
seemed to Wheaton that there was
something of loathing in the boys
movement, and that always afterward
people would shrink from him.
