II used to pray that you might come
back and kill me-"
II used to wish I would grow faster
SO I could. I was always laying out
to do it,"
''But see how I've been punished.
Look at me-Tm so. I ought to be in
my prime. See how I've been burnt
out"
"But look here, Mister, what about
this girl? Do you think you've been
doing right by keeping her here?"
"No, no! it was wrong as great as
the other.'
why, they're even passing remarks
about her mother, those that don't
know where you got her,-saying it
was some one you never married, be-
cause the book shows your first wife
was this one-handed woman here"
II know, know it. I meant to let
her go back at first, but she took hold
of me, and her father and mother were
both dead"
"She's got a grandfather and grand
mother, alive and hearty, back at
Springfield"
"She is all that has kept me alive
these last years"
"She's got to go back to her people
now. She'll want to bad enough when
she knows about this
"About this? Surely you won't tell
her"
'Look here now, why not? What do
you expect:''
+ "But she loves me-she does-and
she's all I've got. Man, man! don't
pile it all on lpe just at the last"
He was off the bed and on his knees
before Follett.
Don't put il all on me. I've round
ed up my back to the rest of it, but
keep this off; please, please don't. Let
her always think I'm not bad. Give
me that one thing out of all the
world"
He tried to reach the young mans
hand, but was pushed roughly away.
Don't do that-get up-stop, I tell
you. That amt any way to do. There
now! Lie down again. What do you
want? I'm not going to leave that girl
with you nor with your Internal
Church. You understand that.'y'1G.
Eyes, yes, kaow it. It was right
that you should be the one to- come
and take her away. The Lords ven
geance was we'll Thought out. ::::Oh, how
much more He can make us suffer
than you could with your clumsy kill
ings! She must 30, but wait-not yet
mot yet. Oh, my God! coaldn't
stand it to see her go. 1t would cut
into my heart and leave me to bleed
to death. No, no. no-don't! Please
don't! Don't pile it all on me :atstthe
last The end has come anyway:
Don't do that-don't, don't!' %.: %c;.le:~::
There, there, be still now.' There
was rough sort of soothing in Fol-
lett's voice, and they we're both silent,
a moment. Then the young man
went on: - "
"But what do you expect? Suppose
everything was left to you, Mister.
Come now, you're trying to talk 1alr.
Suppose I leave it to you-only you
know you can't keep her"
Yes, it can't be. but let her stay
a little while; let me Sc her a few
times more; let me know she doesn't
think I'm bad; and promise never to
tell her all of it. Let her always think
was a good man. Do you promise me
that. I'd do it for you, Follett. 1t
won't hurt you. Let her think l was
a good man."
GLOW long do you want her to stay
here?-a week, ten days" ....- ..

"Oh, well, two weeks?" -

.
that muss, couldn't hardly believe it.;
and everybody seeming to regard you
so highly. And I. couldn't believe this
big girl was little Prue Girnway that
I remembered. It seemed like you two
would have to be great big man and
a little bit of baby girl with yellow
hair: and now I find you're-say, Mis-
ter, honestly, you're such a poor,
brokedown, little coot it seems Almost
like q shame to put a bullet through
you, in spite of all your doings!"
The little man sat up again, with
new animation in his eyes,-the same
eager boyishness that he had some
how kept through al his years.
"Don't!" he exclaimed, earnestly.
Let me beg you, don't kill me! For
your own sake-not for mine. I'm a
Door, meatless husk. I'll die soon at
best, and I'm already in hell you
can't make any hotter. Let me do you
this service; let me persuade you not
to kill me. Have you ever killed a
MANI"
"No, not yet; I've allowed to cou-
ple of times, but it's never come just
that way"
"You ought to thank God. Don't
ever. You'll be in hell as sure as you
do,-a hell right here that you must
carry inside of you forever-that even
God can't take out Of you.
Follett slowly put the revolver into
it's holster and sat down on the low
stool.
IT don't know anything about all this
hell-talk, but I see I can't kill you
you're such a poor, miserable cuss.
And I thought you were big, strong
man, handy with gun and all that,
and like as not I'd have to make a
quick draw on you when the time
come. And now look at you! Why,
Mister, I'm doggoned if amt almost
sorry for you: You sure have been
getting your observance good and
plenty. Say, what in Gods name did
you all do such q hellish thing for,
anyway"
"We had been prosecuted, hunted,
and driven, our Prophet murdered, our
women apd children butchered, and
another army was on the way"
"Well, that was because you were
such an ornery lot, always setting
yourself up against the government
wherever you went, and acting scan
dalous-"
I'VE did as the Lord directed us"
: "Oh, shucks!" , -.
"And then we thought the time had
come to stand up for our rights; that
the Lord meant us to be free and in
dependent"
