the relief of tine inhabitants of Reyn-
sham, and he vas borne tenderly, but
still unconscious, to his w home.
Annie went with the rough ambu-
lance and assisted Joe'S housekeeper to
attend TO him and make everything
comfortable for him. The old woman
would have resented it If Mrs. Rawson
had done it, but Annie had a right TO
be by the side Rof her affanced hus-
band. So she stayed.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
.Reynsham: there really had been an
affray with poachers, then, however
improbable it had seemed 10 the
worthy people.
The police were informed, and every
one was waiting for poor Joe Warner
TO recover consciousness and give some
clue to his assailant.
AT last he opened his eyes with a
long-drawn sigh. Annie waited in a
state of feverish anxiety: she longed to
be able to give him some sign that
should warn him, but the police were
represented and the doctor was there.
Joe gazed about him vacantly and
Annie's heart contracted; he would be-
tray himself.
Am much hurt?" were his first
words.
"Oh," responded the doctor with
grave cneer1ul1eSS. YOU VIII soon pun
round. OF curse you remember how
it o~ccurred?"
Someone fired at mel" returned Joe,
after a pause. Il fancied-that / rec
ognized him, butt can't describe him."
This was rather disappointing to the
police. but it was a relief to Annie, al
though she was convinced that Joe
was not telling the truth.
I'VE mustn't worry him any more"
declared the doctor au~thoritatively. He
will get stronger and then ne will De
able to tell YOU"
He asked them to leave, n quilted
the house himself shortly afterward.
Annie sat by his bedside; she expected
a confession that would make her glad,
she longed for Joe to gain strength so
that she might know that she was free
to marry Dick Warner.
"Annie!"
1t was Joe's voice. The girl had fall
en- into a reverie from which she was
aroused with a start.
Annie, I'm sorry / spoke roughly to
you last night the wounded man pro-
ceeded. 1T isn't my usual way, but
you angered me when you told me that
you thought twenty times as much of
