TICK BLAKE believed his time
II had come. IN a fraction OF a
second that seemed many hours
all the misdeeds of his life crowd
ed before him. He breathed a word
less prayer for forgiveness and the
grace 10 forgive his enemies.
But he attained to no such exalted
degree of fOrgiving as should prevent
the selling of his life as dearly as pos
sible. one Of the men struck match
and lighted a torch which hared up
brightly, throwing CHASTITY light over
the scene.
All Of them wore some pretense Of a
mask. Handkerchiefs OF the red and
blue bandanna variety. with holes cut

of the concealed body of the murdered
man. His general appearance had been
that of a tramp. There were blood
stains upon tho garments he mad WORT.
Even mis- correct use of English could
be of little aid IN showing that he
was not of the class of which such a
crime might be expected. Many a nne-
ly educated man had gone to the bad.
1t rather prejudiced men against one
10 know that he had received superior
advantages and abused them.
As he thought Of the strange btunder
about the face of the murdered man
brother ne grnned. If he were in New
YORK now he might cutie easily prove
himself insane. He wondered II II
would not be better for him to admit
that he had committed the crime ana
plead insanity even here
OF all the stupid mistakes that had
brought him 60 the present plight none
was worse than the one of which he
himself had just been guilty. The other
things might be explained. Probably
even these people would be willing TO
accept his account of his coming to the
creek when backed TO the testimony OF
his friends that he could not have been
there at the time OF the murder.
But now there was against him his
own admission of knowledge as to
where the money was hidden. A straight
confession of the murder, Wrung from
him by the terrorizing tactics OF the
sheriff, would have been less damaging.
This was in the nature of calm at
tempt at bribery.
He paced the floor nervously Tor some
moments. Then he sat down and gazed
abstractedly into the inky blackness OF
the night.
Since the moon had gone down, clouds
had gathered TO hide the feeble light
of the stars. Occasional flashes Of light
ming cleared the sky in the west, too
distant to make the immediate sur
roundings any brighter.
He had not sat thus long when he
was startled by the sudden yelping of
a dog at no great distance. The bark
ing was taken up by another canine and
another Within two minutes the whole
neighborhoOd seemed alive with bowling
dogs Of all sizes and tones Of voice.
Once more there came to his mind
the threats of a lyncNing that had been
dropped in his hearing, and he shud-
dered. Straining his ears as if to hear
each separate note in the dog chorus,
he heard, or fancied he heard. the tones
of human voices min- ling with the din,
The voices came nearer and nearer
with no sound of distinct words, as
though it were the t6lking of a multi
tude. From the street, before the court
house came the dread noise of untimed
feet tramplng upon the iIard gravel
A few moments before he had been
counting the talk of lyncbing as a part
of the attempt to brighten him into con.
fesslOu Now he knew those had beer
no idle threats.
There was a muffied noise as Of the
batter,ng of the 'front.' door of the court,

ately raised 10 loud cries, Let US in

A SHAM BATTLE IN THE DARK
p T WAS all plain enough. When the
sheriff and his two deputies had
left the Jail. apparently one Of
them had remained behind, or had
entered and concealed himself during
Dicks troubled sleep. The sheriff had
been able to accomplish his purpose
either to wiring a confession from the
prisoner by fright. or to obtain an ad-
mission so damaging as TO make con
fession superauous. The hidden man
provided a witness.
And Blake had fallen into the cleverly
laid trap. He could not help a sort Of
admiration for the way he had been
worked into a state OF mental WEAKNESS
where his mind was incapable Of fully
discerning the plot.
The coming of Spratt. apparently
alone, was particularly shrewd. Had
he come with a companion. the prison
er, guilty or innocent, would have taken
no chance Of admitting his guilt
Where it seemed that. in case Of be-
trayal, only one word could be brought
against another, almost any person
would have risked 1t for the possibility
Of escape.
And now he began to wonder whether
he had not put himself beyond the
chance OF rescue. Two witnesses pos
sessed what was tantamount to his own
confession OF the crime.
THIS would go far toward ohsetting
the testimony Of any person he might
bring from New York to prove his abb.
The court would not know that anyone
who might come was not an ex-cOnfed-
crate of similar crimes.
He went over the whole train OF cir
cumstances. He realized what a ire
mendous train 1t was.
