CHAPTER XIII

Walter followed Meg through the
woods. He felt sure that he would not
have far to go TO reach the open fields.
He had been delayed heretofore, not by
the distance, but by not knowing in what
direction TO go.
Few words were spoken between him
and Meg. Remembering what had hap
pened at the cabin, and that even now
he was fleeing from her husband, he did
not feel inclined to be sociable, and her
thoughts were divided between the money
she was to be paid as the price for her
services, and her husband. for whose pro-
longed absence she could not account.

passed the previous night for away in
wild frontier cabin, instead Of in the
center of a ~populous and thriving neigh
hood, within a few miles of several -four
villages. He drew out a dollar bill
and offered it TO Meg.

Supreme Court Bench, for whom he
was named met sad death at his own
hands, while playing wild West"
with lot of young playmates Sun

Wilson.
It seems that the lad took a pistol
from the house unobserved and not
knowing it was loaded. and in play
ing would snap it at the other boys
and they would fall as if dead. Finally
he turned it on himself and snapped it.
just as the fateful loaded chamber came
under the hammer. There was a re-
port and he fell-not in play, poor lit
tie fellow, but in the throes of death
which came to him this afternoon
about 2:3O O'Clock, in the Wilson Hos.
