When Langford grappled with him, he
attempted to bring it down upon the
fair head of his antagonist. Mary
gasped with dread. but Langford
grasped the chair with one muscular
hand, wrested it from the desperado's
hold and threw it to the floor. The
two men locked in close embrace.
Langford's great strength was more

when the prisoner made his unex-
pected leap for liberty, had succeeded
IN Worm1ng their way through the ex-
cited crowd, and now suddenly threw
themselves upon the ranchman. drag
ging him back
Stand aside or I'll shoot"
1T was a girls voice, clear and firm.
Mary had been the first to realize that
Blacks friends, not Langford's had
joined in the struggle. She snatched
her revolver from her cowboy belt
she had not been without either since
the Lazy was burned-and cried out
her challenge. CHANGING quickly from
the cleaning barrel to the determined
face of the young girl. the men let 20
their hold of Langford and fell back
rrecipitately
instantly Langford sprang forward,
bat Black had made good use CT his
moment OF grace. Swinging mis- arms
to the right and left, he had hsaten his
way to the window when Langford
again seized him, but he he'd the adj
vantage this time and he tore himself
loose, throwing Langford violently
against the window-casing. With his
bare, clinched fist he shivered the
glass and leaped out--into the arms
of Jim Munson.
The officers made gallant plunges
through the sampeded crowd in their
efforts to get clear of the room to fol-
low the fugitive. But certain men
managed to keep themselves clumsily,
but with marvellous adroitness, never
theless, between the deputies and the
doors and windows, so that several
moments elapsed before the outside
was finally gained.
Meanwhile Jim struggled heroically
with the outlaw. Black was far SUI
perior to him in weight and strength
OF limb, but Jim was quick and tough
and daring. Expelled from the court
room, he had been watching through
the window He had seen Mary's
quick action and his boss's splendid
attack. He had also seen the little
gun play and his eyes glowed in adj
miration of Williston's little girl"
though his generous heart ached for
love of the woman who was not for
him. He saw Black coming. He was
ready for him. He grappled with
him at once. If the boss or the officers
would only come now!
When they did come they found Jim
stretched at length on the frozen
ground He sat up slowly
You're too late, boys he sad
the boss thief was too much for me.
He's gone
1t was true. The little street
stretched before them still-deserted
Early twilight was coming on. The
biting cold struck them broadside
The deputies scattered in vain pul-
suit.

MEN WHO PLAY THE ANIMAL
PARTS.-Almost without exception the
men who play animal parts on the stage
are Englishmen. Most of them have
been acrobats. All of them have eyes
with laughter crinkles at the corners and
lips that turn upward with an optimism
that is irresistible and fun that scarcely
can be restrained. This goes to disprove
to certain degree the saying that
Englishmen have the slightest sense of
humor of any persons in the world.
How does 1t happen that we animals
are all Englshmen?' said Al Grady, who
plays Tige" in Buster Brown. BE

work in English pantomime. That is

nature of the work. In the first place,
we all create our own parts When the
show Is being rehearsed we are expected
to make up as We go along. This is
hard. for unless the part is made funny
the audience takes little interest in it.
In the second place, the man who is
taking the part of the animal must feel
the part. Inside of my dogskin l do

made his pile in the city but who
has spent his boyhood in thu country. and
who clings to his rural habits only to
be told by his college bred boys that he is
hopelessly behind the times. He demon
strates his ability to lead the procession

with him.
