she lays her eggs, her body
gradually shrinks and shrivels.
until at the end of the cgg-laylng
period it is simply mass OF

ANY body can satisfy himself OF
this fact by taking full grown

In warm weather the eggs

couple of tpouts that followed did not discourage
her. Once balanced, she found the window both
unlocked and unweighted. She raised the sash
until it stuck in the runway high enough for her
to crawl under, after which, getting good grip
on the inside casing, she sprang upward towards
the opening; at the same instant the barrow, as
perverse as ever, fopped over. Her shoulders

the town.
And even as he looked his feet were bound
with cord, and his knees likewise, and moose
of rope was put about his neck, with a great
knot behind his left ear, for so it is that all
hangmen do And then the light of the world
was shut out from his eyes, for black bag was
drawn swiftly over his face and fastened beneath
his chin.
And the Sheriff, who stood at the foot of the
scaffold, lifted up his eyes and beheld afar off
cloud of dust appear suddenly upon the road on
the hillside. A lad on horseback was coming
towards the Jail at full speed And although he
was still distant nearly mile, the keen eye of
the Sheriff recognized him. He was messenger
from the telegraph office,
None saw him but the Sheriff. The eyes of all
others were riveted in morbid tension upon the
quaking figure on the scaffold Men dared not
speak, and they feared to move The shadow Of
impending death stilled their hearts with dread,
and silence like unto that of the grave brooded
upon the scene.
The Sheriff slipped his watch into his pocket
and raised his cap. 1t was a signal to the hang
man. And the next instant Judson Mcleod
plunged down through the opened door. His
body jerked convulsively for moment and then
hung limp and STILL by which sign all men knew

ord Badly the case, arranged by Ford, stood
thus:
AT about twenty minutes past six Miss Dunn
Smith had been instantly killed by 32-calbre
bullet from revolver in the hands of an un-
known man, who was remarkably good shot.
The man had boarded the 6.26 train at Wharton
Heights station for the city, but the excited
coachman could not give a description of him.
When it came to the motive everybody was in
the dark. Investigation showed that neither rob-
berry nor assault had been intended and there
seemed no. other reason why any person should
have shot down the beautiful girl in cold blood.

and so, at last, exhausted and despairing, she
tainted.
When, not more than a minute later, Mrs
Twindle knew herself again it was to feel strong
arms tugging at her outdoor extremities and
certainty in her mind that either the window
frame must CO. or that she, not being OF india
rubber, would part in the middle. She heard and
knew the joy the voice of the toiler at her feet.
"Dick!" she called family, I'm awfuly glad
it's you and not somebody else But, dear, please
work from inside the house! It'll be easier and
I'll live longer"
Barring the leg decorations, "tired feeling" in
her back, hollow in her stomach, and head
that ached clear down to her shoulder-blades,-
"mere trihes," she persistently insisted,-Mrs
Twindle released from captivity, declared herself
in fine condition, and would not hear Of Mr.
ITwindle "going for doctor"
"But this was rather serious case of grip,

jealous wrath he slew Molly O'Brien and cast
her body into the creek.
That is to say, the jury had so found the 'evi-
dence, for no man saw him commit the deed,
though all men knew in their hearts that Judson
Mcleod was a villain.
So the Judge had passed sentence upon him,
condemning him to be hanged by the neck till
he died; and he had set Friday the thirteenth
day of September, as the day of execution.
And the Sheriff had said, 'The drop will fall
at twelvethirty"; which was idle statement
for every man in the county knew that if the
Sheriff said the drop would fall at twelve thirty
it would be

But when suddenly the smiled forth upon
him from the darkened sky there fitted across
his countenance an answering smile, for unto his
heart the sunburst omen of deverance.
Yet the meaning thereof was known to no man
save only the Sheriff, for of those that were
gathered about the scaffold there was none but
him who knew that the life of Judson Mcleod
might be spared at the final moment.
For on the night before visitor had come to
the Jail, hurredly and on an errand of vital i'm
mort He was a man unknown to any in the Jail
save to ,Judson Mcleod, and when he had CON
versed earnestly with the prisoner for space
of more than an hour he went his way as mys-
terouslv as he had come Yet the Sheriff minded
well the things he heard and saw, and he said
to himself. "Ths man has come at the eleventh
hour thinking to save the life of Judson Mcleod
and therefore it is that he has hastened to the
capital on the midnight express, that he may for
some deep reason intercede with the Governor for
the SLAYER of Molly O'Brien."
But the morning hours had passed away and
the Sheriff had seen the krA1led radiance of hope
in the vsage of Judson Mcleod grow slowly
dim beneath the gathering darkness of DEATH for
there had been no message from the Governor
So hudson Mcleod assembled the steps and
stood upon the scaffold. And it lacked two min
utes of the appointe time
The priest drew near to him and prayed for
his souls salvation. But the condemned man
turned his eyes to the hillside afar off and gazed
despairingly along the road that descended the
