tinued, so low that only Nathaniel

Nathaniel looked and his blood
grew hot
Il have seen such things in the
SOUTH" he said. But motor white
men!"
The councillor caught him by the
arm.
They are coming,"
In the direction of the jail the
crowd was separating. Men crushed
back on each side, forming a narrow
aisle, even the whispering OF the
women ceased. A moment later three
men appeared In the opening between
the spectators. One of these, who
walked between the other two, was
stripped to the waist. About each
OF his naked wrists was tied leather
thong and these thongs were held by
the mans guards. The prisoners
face was livid: his hands were red
with blood that dripped from his lac
Grated wrists; his eyes glared malig-
nantly and his heaving chest showed
that he had not been brought from the
log prison without struggle.
"Ah, it's Wittle flrst!" breathed the
councillor. IT'S he who said his wife
should not wear short skirts"
At the edge of the circle the prison
er hesitated and the muscles in his
arms and chest grew rigid. Those OF
the crowd nearest to him drew back.
Then a sudden change swept over the
mans features and he walked quick
ly to the stake and kneeled before 1t.
The thongs about his wrist were tied
to the straps of the cross-piecs and
the whipper took his position. AS the
first lash fell, cry burst from the
lips of the victim. When the whip
descended again he was silent A
curious sensation of sickness crept
over Nathaniel IA he saw the red
gashes thicken on the white flesh.

Somebody took the rope OF the bell
In the fire engine house to use for .
clothesline. and now. when there is q
fire, the constable has to climb up
into the tower and ring the bell with
hammer. Somebody took the ham.
mer the other day. and. when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con-
stable had to hurry down to Hill
ker's store for to borry hammer.
Hilliker had lent his hammer to Dea.
con Renfrew, who lives four miles out
In the country. and by the time the
constable had got there and hunted
around In the barn for the hammer
and got back to the engine house, the
angry elements had done their worst
and Hanks corncrib was a mass Of
smoldering ruins.-Judge's Library.

Five times-six times-seven times
the whip rose and fell and he could
see the blood starting. In horror he
turned his eyes away. Behind him q
man grinned at the wilderness Of his
face and the involuntary trembling OF
his lips. Again and again he heard
the lash fall upon the naked back.
From near him there came the Sob
bling moan of woman. A subdued
movement. sound as OF murmuring
wordless voices swept through the
throng. A steady glitter filled the eyes
of the man who had laughed at him
and he turned again to the stake. The
mans back was dripping with blood.
Great red seams lay upon his shout
aers and a single lash had cut his
bowed neck. Another stroke. more
fierce than the others. and MacDougall
turned away from the figure at the
post. breathing hard. The guards un-
fastened the victims wrist-throngs
and the man staggered to his feet. As
he swayed down through the path that
opened for him his oximson back
shone In the sun.
Great God!" gasped Nathaniel.
He turned to Obadiah and was star
tied by the appearance Of the old man.
The councillors face was CHASTITY. His
mouth twitched and his body trem-
bled. Nathaniel took his arm SYM
pathetieally.

whispered.

1t was but a short time before the
guards returned. This time their
prisoner walked free and erect. The
thongs dangled from his wrists and
he was a pace ahead OF the two men
who accompanied him. He was a
young man. Nathaniel judged his age
at twenty-five. He was a striking con-
trast to the man who had suffered
first at the post. His face instead Of
betraying the formers pallor was
flushed with excitement; his head was
held high: not sign of fear or hesi-
tation shone in his eyes. AS he glanced
quickly around the circle of faces the
| flush grew deeper In his cheeks. He
nodded and smiled at MacDougall and
