his aim little unsteady.
la all probability. however. the real
cause might be laid at the door of the
MASKING flames which made IL very
deceptive light
The motive of the colonel for pre-
hending that he had been laid out by
the bullet was plain enough.
He fully expected the other two
men, and indeed perhaps half a score
ito boot. would be ready 10 follow the
inrst shot with shower of lead.
II was In the hope and expectation
rs avoiding these that he threw him.

ground with all the symptoms of n

messenger had hnrtled harmiessly by
"a foot or two from his head.
He was only ten feet, more or less,

This was a wise precaution.
The fellow who had fred might
levince some curiosity concerning the
nature OF bis game or the possible
lbrilliancy Of his aim, and 1t would be
only natural for him to come out TO
investigate.
In this snrmise Colonel John made
n center shot.
Some such motive Influenced the
tmarksman
He had left his comrades and was
advancing toward the spot where the
Iohiect Of his quick fire had fallen.
Ridgeway had no Idea OF awaiting

A singular thing occurred Just then
The colonel bounded straight into
the arms OF another trooper who, at.

through the woods.
When two bodies moving In oppo.

This Was In one way an anforiun

Work has been commenced on the
