that it is not always possible to sleep when
you want to. 1t was dreary, waiting for day

cramped.

me slipped and fell.
"a picture of ravine, open to receive me,
flashed before my eyes as l closed them, and
when | struck the yielding snow and rolled
over once or twice, | seemed to be falling a
great distance.
"Afraid to open my eyes, lay still for
moment, then looked about me to find myself
lying close against one OF the logs, with the
other projecting over me and about three
feet above my face.
sdThe ravine had been a trick of the fancy.
No fresh snow had fallen where lay. had
tumbled into shefter-a poor one, OF course,
but in such storm any shelter was better

then it occurred to me that there was room
enough to sit up in.

and, finding that l had bettered myself by
sitting up, | began to improve the situation
further by digging away the snow with my
hands, so as to reach the rock beneath and

Swallowed entirely that of the much-dreaded
magistrate
Now" he continued. after Mr.. Stoddard
had skunk, into seat "are there any others
present who can substantiate in any way the
charges made against this lad?'
No one answered, and Mr.. Mountain turn
ed toward the justice of the peace.
Your honor can plainly see," he said
that the, charges are utterly without foun-
dead of night by the heat and smoke of the
money eonfided to his care. Hatless, coat
less, shoeless. he risked his life to rescue his
employers property. And what thanks did
he get for his heroism? How is he rewarded
for doing all that mortal could do? He is
charged with the crime of robbery, is brought
before this tribunal when not even the shad
ow of guilt rests upon him. And this charge,
as groundless as such an infamous charge can
be, Is brought, by man who admits under
oath his own dishonesty"
Rocky Mountain paused a moment, stand
ing with face ahame and heaving chest be
fore the bewldered men, Squire Holhrook
looking even more crestfallen than Mr.. Stod
dard.
Then the defender of Rob Archer went
"Your honor, you must plainly see the in
justice of this accusation. And you, gentle
men of the jury" he continued, turning and
pointing his finger impressiveiy' at the men,
"can you for one instant harbor the thought
of this boys guilt? The law says plainly the
prisoner must be judged according to the law
and evidence. There has been no evidence in
this case pointing toward the guilt of the ac-
cused. What do you say? Is the boy guilty
or not guilty.
With a face black as night, Bill McGrcgor
rose to his feet.
Hes gull" began the dark-visaged
wretch.
But Reddy White, nearly bursting with
rage, interrupted in a most summary man
ner. His athletic form bounded forward,
muscular arm shot forth, brawny fist stop
ped further utterance, and Bill McGregor
sprawied upon the floor.
In an instant dozen men were upon their
feet, the majority claiming that Rob was in
nocent; Il few clamoring for the decision OF
the magistrate.
Above the din came the heavy voice of
Squire Holbrook:
i'Court is dismissed. / can't find anything
against Robert Archer today. though you,
Mr. Stoddard. can bring an action some other
time, if you see lit
The assemblage broke up, in confusion, the
men immediately seeking the open air.

trembling by his side, you got clear, after
all.
