English and Canadian law, a man can
not be convicted of murder and
hanged If his victim lives for one
year and one day after the crime is
committed. Dain dragged out a lin
gerine existence of agony for a couple
of months over the year and then
died. Hernia resulted from the bullet
wound in his abdomen and finally
killed him. Under the circumstances
Meagher, If found, could be punished,
but would not suffer the extreme pen
atty of the law.
As time went on and the killing of
Dain became ancient history, public
interest in the occurrence naturally
died away. But Murray did not for.

Murray smiled languidly. 1.-THE sher.

A look of satisfaction crossed
Meagher's stern features. Murray,
watching him, knew that he was play.
ing for delay, and became more than
ever determined to take him on that
4:35 train. Meagher leaned forward
and hurled torrent of insulting caths
at Detective Muncie, possibly hoping
that he might create a diversion by
picking quarrel with the Cleveland
officer. Muncie made no reply, and
the prisoner again turned his atten.
ton to Murray.
1--WE got nothing against you, Muir
ray" he said. But don't come a step
nearer me-"
Murray reflected. He half turned
his back and sat down on the stair.
If Meagher had looked away for q
moment he could have slipped out his
gun from his pocket. But the prison.
er's eye never swerved. Murray
yawned iistlessly and turned his back
altogether upon him.
Its like this, Frank" he remarked
quietly. "Idon't want to get hurt any
more than you do, but I'm not any
more afraid than you are"
There was no response. Murrav's
mind worked swiftly. The prisoners
silence was uncanny. Perhaps he
might shoot or bring the, club down
with splintering force on the back of
his head. Still the detective sat. with.

stairs. Finally Meagher spoke soft
ly; almost ir whisper.
You're game fellow, Murray" he
said. I'll rot go with Muncie. but
I'll go with you, If you get me that
suit of clothes"
He stepped down and surrendered
the club and run into Murray's hands
and they walked side by side into the
office. Meagher spat contemptuouslv
at the sheriff, swore at Muncie. and

In the morning and it was Murray's
intention to get away on it with

ment in the Northern Indiana peniten-
tiary for burglary at Big Bend, un-
der the name of Louis Armstrong.
After careful consideration Murray
concluded that the ci-devant Arm
strong, was none other than Frank
Meagher. He prepared extradition
papers and on June 1, 1877, left To-
ronto for Indianapolis.
Arriving in Indianapolis, Murray
visited the penitentiary in company
with Detective Muncie of Cleveland
who knew Meagher we'll, and they
identified Armstrong as Meagher.
thus making assurance doubly sure
The next step was to arrange for the
removal of Meagher to Canada. Muir
ray went to Terre Haute and secured
the services of Daniel Voorhees, of
yers in the Hoosier state. He in
formed Voorhees, that the state of In.
diana had a criminal serving a sen.

Quent to the commission of a far
graver crime in Canada, and that he
wanted to take him back at once to
pay the penalty of his prior deed.
Voorhees, took the case and accom-
panied Murray to Indianapolis, where
a fine point of law had to be argued.
The prisoner was in the Indian
apolis jail, where he was kept. pend.
ing the outcome of the case, and had
been informed Of a conditional par
don and the case going against him.
He was what is known as a bad
man" in every sense of the epithet.
Three times in his career he had es-
capped from prison and had shot and
killed a deputy on one occasion. He
had a brother, Charles Meagher of
Cleveland, also a thief, burglar, and
desperate, resourceful crook. He had
many friends: and Frank Meagher,
then fine looking, well-educated
chap of %, was highly respected and
much admired among the denizens of
the underworld for his daring and
cleVerness.
Murray was certain that the
chances were all in favor of complete
plans having been made to rescue his
man. He had all of his papers ready
after midnight on June 20, and went

to talk to you 80 that everybody won't
hear"
Meagher had risen to his feet and
stood at the top of the stair, looking
down upon the man just below him.
The sheriff grew suddenl; valorous.
"Come down, Meagher. or I'll shoot, y
he cried, shrilly.
Shoot blast you." responded
Meagher, vigorously. I'D rather be
shot here than hung in Canada"
There was q moments silence, and
Murray heard Detective Muncie advis
ing the sheriff to quit making a noise
You just shut up. sheriff, and leave
this to me-" shouted Murray. Frank
he continued, addressing the prisoner
you know you won't be hung. Dain
lived over year. You know you've
got to come. You might kill me, but
you'd have to go all the same"
While speaking. Murray mounted
the steps slowly, until he stood with
in ten feet of Meagher, who pointed
the revolver full in his face.

'Stay where you are. Don't move an

Murray paused and stared <unflinch

never in his life had death doomed

glared at him he fancied that he coulc

We told him about the lost ring ant
he listened with interest I thought
his expressions of regret and offers Of
assistance were unnecessarily ELUSIVE
but then, as Gabrielle said afterward
Mr. Graham always went q little toe
far in everything.
After a while he took his departure
saying he did not like to leave Mrs
Graham long alone in her present
nervous condition. Gabrielle lifted the
roses and laid their heavy perfumed
heads against her face.
They are beautiful" she said; but
what shall we do with them?"

After little consideration we de.

Edith, and Gabrielle volunteered to
take them to her at once.

swore frantically. Il know what my
duty is, all right" he said pathetically,
but I amt anxious to be shot like a
dog, or see anyone else murdered,

Murray was losing patience. It was
evident that the sheriff would not try
to get Meagher, and also that the
prisoner was playing for time, and
the purpose of it probably was that
he knew an attempt would be made to
rescue him. From the fact that he
had gained possession of revolver
and clnb, it was easy to surmise that
some Ct his friends were scheming to
aid hirc. He thought of that 4:35
train, md turned to the sheriff.
"Just open that gate," he said, crisp.

Murray looked at him grimly.
"Open that gate," he said. I'm go.

Yielding to the power of the Others
determined will. the sheriff threw
open the gate and Murray, without
the slightest trace Of nervousness,
stepped inside and walked upstairs.
When he reached the first landing the
prisoners voice rang out, sharp, tense
and replete with deadly menace:
stop right there. Murray: don't
you come near me!"
Murray halted. The shining bar
rel Of the revolver. gripped IN the
hand of ruffian whose unerring aim
had sent more than one human soul

past. was covering him with fatal &C.
curacy. The spirit of death was how
ering in the air.
Murray's voice had lost none of its
habitual GOODNESS as he answered the
desperado's challenge. There's no
need for getting excited, Frank" he
said. I'm not coming up. just want
