So sudden was this maneuver that
| the mob was taken aback. The rush
| of the automobile scattered them;
| shots were fired, but in the darkness
| they went wide. The machine, gath
| erins momentum, sped down the road.
For a moment or two Sheriff Arte-
mus breathed freely as he sped down
the road Then the cries, which had
grown faint, began to become louder
again. Casting hurried look back
he saw the headlights of distant cars
pursuing him. SO the mob had come
in automobiles Everything seemed to
have been foreseen.
He let out his machine to the full.
He believed that he could outdistance
his pursuers. He heard family the
crack of revolyers behind him, but the
bullets did not reach him. He was
distancing them. AT the bend Of the
road, five miles from the prison, he
saw only tiny, distant flashes of light,
indicating the presence of the pursu-
ing machines.
lights swiftly approaching, and, with a
roar and rattle of his engine, started
again.
Yells of triumph pursued him. The
bullets Glove the air about him. He
put on speed. The distance remained
about the same. Then slowly he be-
gan to draw ahead of them.
He led them a dance that night that
was never forgotten. Mile after mile
was reeled Off until the gasoline be-
gan to fail. Three counties were
crossed. Still the sheriff sped on, and
the pursuers, trailing off, began to lose
hope Then the sheriff would slow
down and wait for them.
They caught him at dawn. Only
one car had followed him, but in it
were the leader of the lynching party
and three of the most determined. By
the faint light they saw the sheriff and
their victim.
Surrender" they yelled, and Sheriff
Artemus held up his hands.
A rope was brought out and, looped,
flung round the throat of the grotesque
figure in the car. One end was fas-
tened to limb of a water oak. Amid
a chorus of yells the figure, jerked
from its place at the sheriff's side,
swung swiftly aloft. The revolvers
were emptied into it.
Sheriff Artemus suddenly pulled
revolver with either hand and covered
the little group Of four.
The leader turned to him with puz-
zled look
Say, what's the game, sheriff." he
asked. Its over now"
Get into your car and drive slowly
ahead,' answered Artemus. Il can
OUTRAGE you, and I'll shoot every man
who doesn't sit quiet. You're going to
drive to the Jail at Ransome First
look at that tree again"
They looked. and. in the gathering
light, saw the grotesque figure of
Dorothy's rag doll with the negro face
swinging sardonic&lly from the limb.
Il dropped jim Sanford twenty
miles back announced the sheriff
softly. Hop in, gentlemen, if you
want to get to Ransome alive

John Artemus looked out of the win

already battered down the fimsy doors
at the entrance to the prison yard.
They stood without, an Infatuated
