To go in by the door they must shoot
at random, and II they hit any one it
would be a girl. But the most effective
argument was that the enemy. being
In shadow. could pick off one or more
OF those out in the moonlight. The sit

longed discussion several who favored
avoiding any shedding Of blood except
that Of the prisoner prevailed, and 1t
was decided to give the matter up.
They turned and went away.
Susie watched them till they passed
into the wood from which she had seen
them come; then her old self resumed
control. She did not faint. but she
dropped to the floor and leaned for
support against the bureau. She was
revived by the prisoners 'Hellor

daughter. aged eighteen. Her father
had been obliged to leave her in charge
to go and attend to business that would
not wait. Susie Leadbetter had seen
the prisoner brought in. a devil may
care looking young fellow whose ap-
pearance had taken her fancy. Now
she was wondering what he had been
brought there for and what he vas
thinking about and whom he was
thinking about. She went TO the door

But she stood with each hand on a
bar of the cell door and listened to his
story. When he had finished she
thought it very unjust that he shonld
be there for ~resenting an insult. He
had a winning way with him. making
light of his misfortune. but when he
told her that he fancied some OF his
enemy's friends might get up a party
to come to take him out of the Jail and
hang him a serious expression crossed
his face which was reflected in that OF
the young girl.
Then she went away to sit on the
doorstep and think about the prisoner.
She looked out on the moonlight
streaming over the meadow on the
shimmering river beyond. at the queen
of night, and everywhere b saw
those dark eyes. that pleasant smile,
and thought what a dreadful thing 1t
would be If a mob should come to hang
the handsome prisoner.
Presently she saw a dark figure
emerge from a wood and survey the
iail: then another came out. and In a
few minutes half a dozen men were
moving stealthily toward her.
