ter?"
 Do so. please. will wait here"
 Out of the circle of light she re- mained unseen, unnoticed in the ex- citement, while Gonzaga went forward. For his was more than idle interest more than curiosity. He was fever ishly anxious to know if that woman's scream, if this light and uproar, all had to do with his plot which, even now, should reach its climax.
 Near the door of the inn lounged the landlord in apathetic attitude. In the breast of this one-time planter and man of fortune yicissitude had bred a dull indifference. half philosophy, half bitterness. From his seat on the horse block outside he watched the now deserted bar with meager inter- est in the proceedings. Disguised, world-weary, he felt no emotion at sight of the on-coming litter, though its burden was, perhaps. a corpse which had for requiem only this clamor for candle torches, and for pail the sky.
 The particulars the landlord had learned as Gonzaga approached. The latter greeted him. Good evening, Price. You have excitement of the real kind to offer them who tarry to- night What is the trouble?"
 "One man killed; another pretty near it." was the response, and. in

the love of that girl lowering there in the shadow he would risk much. but he had not meant this.
 "A friend of mine? Hardly that" he replied But l met him on the boat, as you know. Is he--is he dead?"
 Price shook his head. Guess not. but badly cut Jabez was always handy with his knife"
 How did they happen to meet?"
 Lord knows. Jabez was skulking about to catch Sue, reckon; but I can't imagine what brought the other man to this place this time O night"
 "A love affair, possibly?" and Con- 1aga lowered his voice to suggestive whisper.
 The landlord shrugged his shoulders. Don't know" he said, rising; but the other stopped him. "One moment have you seen the young Creighton iGerald%
 ''No." was the curt reply. and Price went indoors.
 A lounger near by volunteered: Hes gone home-along O the other gang; helpin' Sue with the funeral arrangements"
 Then he added with litter: First time he was ever let in at the front door. I'll bet on that"
 Somebody else said: Do they know who killed her pa?" And the first speaker replied: Well, 1t ain't extry hard to guess. Sue says her dad and this city stranger tusseled a bit, then her dad whipped out a knife and stuck the other fellow. The next she knowed Jabez himself was deader n a coon, with slash in the neck just like a knife cut 'Tain't much of a riddle how he got it. What dye s'pose that other man was doin' all that time? Thinkin' Q home and mother?" and the speaker grinned sarcastically.
 Gonzaga rejoined Lavender. whom he found trembling with fright and anxiety.
 Where is Gerald?" she asked.
 bes AC haottnru No dS>uIc ucI. Your brother is safe did not see him. but hear that he has gone with those who carried the dead home
 The girls voice sank to a pitying note. Then there are two dcad?"
 No. senorita. The man whom you saw borne on the litter is not dead; only wounded. He will live-yes, he will live He repeated this. as if to an inward accuser. He spoke slowly. too. in the hope that she would catch the meaning in his tone. and ask the reason for it. For he had now fully decided to make the most of this web which his own planning and unfore- seen circumstances had conspired to weave. But il vas evident that Lav- ender had. thus far, no suspicious. It was time they were reused
 The dead man was Jabez Miller father of the girl whom you szv to- night Feeping in al the dancers Do you remembsr!"

lover. 1t was her poor father who was killed. yod say. By whom2
 By that city lover'"
 There was a pause while Lavender watched the crowd ambling to and fro about the tavern, her eyes wide with fright. Both hands pressed the scarlet blossoms of the Judas tree at her. breast.
 Gonzaga continued: From all can learn her father had heard of the mid night appointment in the wood and resolved 1t should be the last He in- terfered-with the result we sec"
 Lavender interrupted him, half chok. ing. Tt is too horrible! have seen enough-heard enough Can we not fnd Gerald, and then-then let us so home, home to the forest, where there is no humanity to pollute the air of heaven
 She spoke wildly. unnerved by the sights she had witnessed, by the brawl- ing and ribald jests. To the daintily bred girl from far Virginia the back. woodsman was being whom to meet was a venture-to oppose. madness. She knew that there were exceptional were not Gerald and her father frontiersmen? But outnumbering their class were the ''gouger" and the ruf- ian, many of the scum of civilization.
 Gradually the revelers began to dis perse. and In noisy groups reeled past where the two yet fingered in the shadow.
 Why does not Gerald come?" Lavh ender complained. Then suddenly, with suspicion of i'll: We cannot find him." she said. You do not offer td bring me to him-the man on the htI ter" her voice rose to little shriek of agonized suspense.
 No. no. Miss Creighton: on m{ honor 1t is not your brother" He took her hand to steady her. and she did pdgx forbid him. She seemed not oonscio{s of his presence. But at the touch 8f her. at this first sign of yielding. hhs purpose was fixed. his last scruple vah- ished. Possession of the woman bk side him was the goal-vhat did As care for the means. All was fair ih love.
 Tt is not your brother. But do yoh know who he is! He who lies upon | bed of straw in yonder inn. It is th man who murdered the father of h sweetheart because he resented her bd trayal. It is the traitor to his friend4 to his flag! See" and be led her. un-N willing. to the window of the now al- most deserted tavern.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-06-05

and shook the stiffening shoulders, try
 ing to rouse him. Father, oh. speak
 to me, one word!" She kissed the stark face, already wet with the damp that was not the dew of night e. xs Then the other, the stranger, moansd. He was not dead. She must find help. Her fathers murderer, yet he must not lie helpless, dying. With the speed of an awful fear she ran back to the tavern for help.
 Then from out the shadow stole an- other shape, grim and gaunt, with a tall buzzard's plume waving above the sloping brow With a gratified grunt of revenge, the Indian bent over the dead man. Forth he drew the arrow, and threw it away. The blood followed from a wound in the neck-a wound deep and jagged.
 Then be turned to the other body, and his features relaxed their sternness, and he uttered few pitying words in the Osage tongue. Placing his hand over Winslew's heart. he heard responsive throbbing. So he was not dead. Lift ing him to a position that was more comfortable, he stood over him in upright, dreary sentinelship. He heard foot steps approaching. then stole back into shadow, taking care to watch-himself out of sight.
 The newcomer was Gerald Creighton, who. leaving the dance, had come to the pollard willow. But. instead of sweet heart. keeping tryst, he found-what she had left.
 The Indian. watching him from the covert saw him start back in dismay. then bend ruefully above the fallen men.
 Rising. he looked about. ''Sue," he called-soft, al first. then louder: "Suel"
 There was an answering halloo, as a crowd of men from the tavern reached the spot. the girl leading.
 Gerald" she moaned beneath her breath, and she stroked his arm with pitiful little caress as if to assure her self that he. at least. was spared. Then she knelt over her dead fathers body.
 winslow opened his eyes 10 zee a motley crew-some bent CD giving aid, others only seeking a fresh sensation. For this furnished keen zsst to the iron tiersman. because of it's saTor of blood and death.
 With the pain Of being lifted, Winslov svooned again. nor saw the sad little procession which. taking the opposite road. followed the eesa man and his child to the lonely cabin on the branch.
 All unconscious of ths journey on the litter. and still half-dsiTious. winslov opened his eyes again This time they rested upon dull rafters above his head. studying the antics q a spider pendent there. Then kis unseeIas eyes trav- eI4d down the walls where grotesque shadows leaped In obedience 10 the flick CT of candles. A murnur of voices and the click of glasses rearhed his ears. but as echoes from a distance.
 AT inpious voice proposed . toast: Heres ,e the soul of old Jaeez MiIleri May he keep the fires all bot till ve get thsre!-
 And this time the snsverins shouts v.re louder to his slowly ross- irg senses. He beard the gentle re- ncnstrance: -Husbi if yoa can't let the dead rest in pesce. you night have a care for the Iivipx

reply to the Spaniard's tone. which. in spite of him was eager. Price contin- ued: The dead man Is Jabez Miller. whose daughter young Creighton keeps company with. The other one-the one who was vounded-see. they are carrying him to my place"
 Then. with quick look at Gonzaga's face. he added: "A friend of yours. maybe7- for his listener had grown white ss the brow of the unconscious winslow who was at that instant borne past.

asked their company? And this wound ed stranger-who was he, that they should keep silence for him? A knife wound more or less. a stab in the dark what did it matter? So the royster- ing crew drank and made merry while to the sick man, on his bed of boughs in the farthest corner, their shouts were faint and far echoes, bringing strug- gling reason home.
 A step crossed the room. and some body bent over him. He could dimly see the outline of a woman, 1.-the and slender That her hair was inky black, instead of bronze; her eyes jet, in stead of purple-blue, he did not see. To his wavering vision the octoroon's face, dark with the warm olive of the south. shone white and pure. He had been dreaming of his love, of Lavender, and now she was here! One weak hand stole upwards, until 1t touched hers. His eyes glowed with the light of fever and passion. The unconscious action was a revelation of all his smouldering, secret ly cherished love- And the woman bending over him, saw and understood; In his delirium he mistook her for an- other, for the fair white girl his heart desired. She would let him think so let him believe it was she who min stered. So she smoothed his hair and bathed his temples. moistening the hot lips that murmured her name.
 CHAPTER XIV.
 When Lavender and the Spaniard left the dance in search of Gerald. they followed the road that led to the inn.
 Where are we going?" Lavender de- murred; hadn't we better wait here? He will surely return to the party"
 But Gonzasa insisted. Tt is only a short walk to the Sign of the Bat and the night is heavenly"
 But why should Gerald seek such c place at this hour7"
 Gonzaga coughed deprecatinsly, He may have business with some of the village folk. and your brother knows where to find them. Besides. the boat is there"
 His argument prevailed. and Laven- der walked at his side through the breathless. fragrant night.
 Half the distance passed. they were startled by . voman's scream. They could not guess whence 1t came, for no other sound followed. Instinctively Lavender shrank back. The Spaniard took advantaSe of her fright to put one arm protectiasly around her. but she broke from him and hurried for ward There is trouble near" she sad: let us hurry" And he quick ened his pace so hers.
