you've been dreaming!" he ex-
claimed in threatening voice. Shut
up!" He spoke the words loudly.
Then quickly dropping his voice to a
whisper he added: For Gods sake
don't betray her! They saw her with
us-everybody knows that it was the
kings wife with you!"
The kings wife! Nathaniel was
too weak to analyze the words beyond
the fact that they carried the dread
truth Of his fears deep into his soul.
Who would have come to him but
Marion? Who else would have kissed
him? 1t was her voice that had
whispered in his ear-the thrill of her
hand that had passed over his face.
And this man had said that she was
the wife of the king! He heard the
voices of other men near him but did
not understand what they were say
ing. He knew that after a moment
there was man on each side of him
holding him by the arms, and me-
chanlcally he moved his legs, knowing
that they wanted him to walk. They
did not guess how weak he was-how
he struggled to keep from becoming
too great a weight on their hands.
Once or twice they stopped in their
agonizing climb up the hill. On it's
top the cool sea air swept into Ma
thaniels face and it was like water to
a parched throat.
After time-it seemed a day of
terrible work and pain to him-they
came to the streets of the town, and
in half conscious sort of way he
cursed at the rabble trailing at their
heels. They passed close to the tenn
pie, dirt and blood and a burning tor
ment shutting the vision of it from his
eyes, and beyond this there was an
other crowd. An aisle opened for
them, as it had opened for others
ahead of them. In front of the jail
they stopped. Nathaniels head hung
heavily upon his breast and he made
no effort to raise it. All ambition and
desire had left him, all desire but one,
and that was to drop upon the ground
and lie there for endless, restful years.
What consciousness was left in him
was ebbing swiftly; he saw black,
fathomless night about him and the
earth seemed slipping from under his
feet.
A voice dragged him back into life
"a voice that doomed in his ears like
rolling thunder and set every fiber
in him quivering with emotion. He
drew himself erect with the involun-

Tree Gives Back Watch.

A pickpocket was discovered in the
woods near Riverhead, Long Island,
recently, but was not arrested. 1t
was a twig.
In December, 1908, L. M. Raynor,
of Riverhead was in the woods and
unknown to him at the time tWig
picked his pocket, neatly extracting
his watch, relates the New York
World. He did not know Of his loss
until he reached home and he did not
know what had become of the watch.
Walking i'll the woods the other day
Raynor saw his watch depending from
twig about the level Of his head.
He believed he must have bent the
branch down While passing and that
his pocket was picked at that time.
The watch suffered no harm by its
year and a half exposure, but started
ticking when he wound it up.

CHAPTER K.
jnrsome's Verdict of Death.

Wnrsome's Verdict of Death.
The vOice--the condemning words
followed Nathaniel as he staggered
on between his two guards; it haunted
him still as the cold chill of the rot
ting dungeon walls struck in his face;
it remained with him as he stood
swaying in the thick gloom-the voice
rumbling in his ears, the words beat
ing against his brain until the shock
of them sickened him, until he stretch
ed out his arms and there fell from
him such a cry as had never tor
tured his lips before.
Strang was alive! He had left the
spark of life in him, and the woman
who loved him had famed it back into
full flame.
Strang was alive! And Marion
Marion was his wife!
The voice of the king tainted him
from the black chaos that hid the
dungeon walls. The words struck at
him, filling his head with shooting
pain, and he tottered back and sank
to the ground to get away from them.
They followed, and that vengeful leer
of the king was behind them, urging.
them on, until they beat his face into
the sticky earth, and smothered him
into what he thought was death.
There came rest after that, long
silent rest. When Nathaniel slowly
climbed up out of the ebon shadows
again the first consciousness that
came to him was that the word demons
had stopped their beating against his
brain and that he no longer heard
the voice of the king. His relief was
so great that he breathed a restful
sigh. Something touched him then.
Great God! were they coming back?
Were they still there-waiting-
ing
1t was a wonderfully familiar voice
that spoke to him.
Hello there, Nat! Want a drink"
He gulped eagerly at the cool liquid
that touched his lips.
NEIL" he whispered
Its me, Nat. They chucked me in
with you. Helrs hole. isn't it,"

CHAPTER iX.--continued.

He felt the dash of the water in his
face and 1t put new life into him.
Somebody had raised him to sitting
posture and was supporting him there
while a second person bound a cloth
about his head. He opened his eyes
and the light of day shot into them
like singing, burning charge of
needle-points, and he closed them
again with d sharp cry Of pain. That
seconds glance had shown him that
it was a woman who was binding his
head. He had not seen her face. Be
yond her he had caught a half-formed
vision of many people and the glisten-
ing edge Of the sea, and as he lay with
closed eyes the murmur of voices
came to him. The support at his back
was taken away, slowly, rs If the per-
son who held him feared that he
would fall. Nathaniel stiffened him
self to show his returning strength
and opened his eyes again. This time
the pain was not so great. A few
yards away he saw group of people
and among them were women; still
farther away, SO far that his brain
grew dizzy as he looked, there was
black moving crowd. He was among
the wounded. The Mormon women
were here. Down there along the
shore-among the dead-had assem-
bled the population OF St James.
A strange sickness overpowered him
and he sank back against his sup
porter. A cool hand passed over his
face. 1t was a soothing, gentle touch
the hand of the woman. He felt
the sweep Of soft hair against his
cheek-a breath whispering in his
ear.
You will be better soon"
His heart stood still.
You will be better"
Against his rough cheek there fell
the soft pressure Of a woman's lips.
Nathaniel pulled himself erect,
every drop of blood in him striving
for the mastery of his body, his vision,
his strength. He tried to turn, but
strong arms seized him from behind.
A mans voice spoke to him, a mans
strength held him. In an agony of ap-
peal Marion's name burst from his
lips.
"Sh-h-!" warned the voice behind
him. Are you crazy?"
The arms relaxed their hold and
Nathaniel dragged himself to his
knees. The woman was gone. AS far
as he could see there were people
scores of them, hundreds of them
multiplied into thousands and millions
as he looked, until there was only
black cloud about him. He staggered
from falling while his brain slowly
cleared The millions and thousands
and hundreds of people dissolved
themselves into The day until only a
handful was left where he had seen
multitudes. He turned his face weak
ly to the man beside him.
where did she go?" he asked.
1t was a boyish face into which his
pleading eyes gazed, a face white with
the strain of battle, Redeemed a little
on one cheek with a smear of blood,
and there was startled, frightened
strife that had passed.
