hand of a ruffian whose unerring aim
to the great Judgment Seat in the
past, was covering him with fatal &C
curacy. The spirit of death was how
ering in the air.
Murrays/voice had lost none of its
habitual GOODNESS as he answered the
desperados challenge. There's no
need for getting excited, Frank" he
said. I'm not coming up. l just want
to talk to you so 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 suddenly valorous.
Come down, Meagher, or I'll shoot"
he cried, shrilly.
Shoot, blast you," responded
Meagher, vigorously. I'D rather be
shot here than hung in Canada"
There was a moments silence, and
Murray heard Detective Muncie advis-
ing the sheriff to quit making 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.
"Stop!" he commanded, harshly.
stay where you are. Don't move an
inch closer"
Murray paused and stared unflinch-
ingly at the outlaw. He knew that
never in his life had death doomed
nearer than at that moment. Meagh-
er's eye was cold and hard, yet as it
glared at him he fancied tina. he could
read something of curiosity in it's muir
derous, merciless depths. Neither

whats wrong with Meagher?" in
Quired Murray
He's armed, he's got up to the
fourth floor, the top tier of cells, and
says he will kill any one who goes
near him." responded the sheriff in
agitated accents, wiping the perspira-
ton from his forehead. Il tell you
he's a desperate man, Mr.. Murray,
and he'll keep his word"
That's your business" said Muir
ray. Kindly produce the prisoner. y
Come down, Meagher," piped the
sheriff, in trembling tones.
Meagher spat viciously and bonn
barded the speaker with a volley of
Yirulent oaths. Come up here and
get me-" he roared. 'Tll kill the first
man that sets foot on these stairs"
Now you can see how it is for
yourself" appealed the sheriff to Muir
ray.
"All l know is that there sits Meagh-
er and l want him." replied that in
exorable gentleman. Here are my
documents, so do your duty"
The unhappy sheriff, thus caught be-
tween the devil and the deep sea,
swore frantically. Il know what my
duty is, all right" he said pathetically,
"but | amt anxious to be shot like a
dog, or see anyone, else murdered,

Murray was losing patience. 1t 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

Cuticura Thus Proven Pure and Sweet.

A New York friend Of Cuticura
writes:
my three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state
room and located a box Of graham
crackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. When a search was made for
the box. it was found empty and the
kid admitted that he had eaten the
contents of the entire box spread on
the crackers. 1t cured him of a bad
cold and l don't know what else"
No more conclusive evidence could
be offered that every ingredient of Gu

man spoke. Murray's hands were
empty, his revolver lying useless in
his pocket.
The prisoner was first to break the
tension. Murray" he said suddenly,
but without shifting his eyes, Il have
no fit clothes. I'm gentleman, and
I won't go to Canada looking like
pauper."
Murray smiled languidly. "The sher-
iff has suit of clothes for you,
Frank" he said. Its pretty fair
suit, but if it isn't good enough, I'll
wait until you get one"
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
ABS train. Meagher leaned forward
and hurled a torrent of insulting oaths
at Detective Muncie, possibly hoping
that he might create a diversion by
picking a quarrel with the Cleveland
officer Muncie made no reply, and
the prisoner again turned his atten-
ton to Murray.
i've got nothing against you, Muir
ray" he said. But don't come step
nearer me-"
Murray reflected. He half turned
his back and sat down on the stair.
If Meagher had looked away for
moment he could have slipped out his
gun from his pocket. But the prison
er's eye never swerved. Murray
yawned listlessly and turned his bach
altogether upon him.
Its like this, Frank" he remarked,
