Esaacson derided the accusation
that he had bled his dupes for $780,

"A few thousand. a few thousand"
he said, "of which I have not a

"Old as ! am, l have not completed

And where is the prisoner asked
Captain Diehl.
Il am the prisoner" Esaacson re-
piled to the astonished captain. Il

that l will deliver myself"
Esaacson, sixty years old, vas on
victed in the federal court in New
York city of having used the United
States mails to swindle many persons
through a manufacturing company, of
which he was president. Esaacson
was sentenced to Imprisonment Of a

here and to pay a fine of 5000.

me: 'Esaacson, l am going to let you

Jacket, she slipped between the faded
''comforters" of the sheetless couch.
In five minutes the taper was out

cracking of the logs, The little girl
at her side lay quiet, and her regular
breathing proclaimed her already
asleep. In another five minutes Jua-

in an instant after 1t had been borne
along the wind she had seen a thing
happen which she would have disbe-
lieved had she heard it from the lips
Of q narrator.
She saw in one breathing space the
half-raised figure OF Fletch McNash I'M

young Jeb under the ove Of his
pallet. She saw in the next breathing
space. with no realization Of how 1t

bent low, like a runner on his mark
awaiting the starting signal. His right
hand held the rife at his front, his
left lightly touched the floor with
fingers spread to brace his posture,
and his face was tensely upturned.
So, while she counted ten. father
and son crouched in precisely similar
poses, one covering the barred door
at the front with a repeating rife, the
other seeming to stare through the
massive timbers of that at the back
with leveled pistol. No one spoke. No
one moved, but the regular swelling
breath Of sleep had died. for every
pair of lips in the place was holding
its breath. bated.
Then came a fresh pounding Of hoofs
and scattering of gravel and a chorus
of angry, incoherent voices sounded
above the noise of Fighter was it
pursuit? Whatever words were being
shouted out there in the night were
swallowed in the medley, except a
wake of oaths that seemed to float be-
hind.
The noise, like the other which had
preceded it, died swiftly, but in the
instant that it lasted Fletch McNash
had lifted his left hand and brought
his rife to the ready" and his son had
instinctively thrust forward his
cooked revolver.
For a full minute, perhaps, the girl
in the bed had the picture of two fig
ures bent low like bronze emblems OF
motionless preparation, yet not a syl'

quite a distance beyond, there came
the snap Of a single shot, followed by
the retort of a yolley. they still mel.

Her grandfather's fortune. or for

singular fitted their dimensions. had
come to her with his wish that part Of
them should go to advance education

who had known her in her life OF nor

and of deliciously rhythmic person

as absurdly i~ncongruous. OF this fact
the young man had heatedly reminded
her on the night when she gave back
his engagement ring and announced
her determination.
"Juanita," he had ex~postulated.
! with a suffering of hopelessness in his
eyes which she ached to comfort

with a note against which he knew the
futility of argument-"that the Savior
needed letters of introduction"
And so an imagined heartbreak and
a crumbling world of illusions-as she
f~ancied-had driven her suddenly into
self-appointed exile-and a mission.
Her education had been pointed to
fitting her to oversee such work-done
by the hands of others. Even then

as if by one impulse, they rose and
turned to face each other.
Then, and then only, was there ut
terance of any sort inside the house.
In a voice so low that Juanita would
not have heard it save that every
sense was painfully alert, Fletch said
to his son: Il reckon Their wars on
again"
The boy nodded s~ullenly, and the
father commanded in an almost inau-
dible undertone:
Lay down."
The boy went back to his pallet and
the father to his bed. For a long time
there was dead silence, and then one
by one they took up again their chorus
of snores. Tomorrow might bring chaos
but tonight offered sleep. Still the
girl lay gazing helplessly up at the
rafters and wondering what things
happened out there in the grim, un-
communicative silence of the slopes.
A little while ago she had been
dreading what might come. Now, In
an access of terror. she thought OF
what must come.
"Ther wars on" That was enough.
Evidently there had been hell over
there at the dance. She had reached
the country Just in time to see a new
and sanguinary chapter open.
She would in all probability see
people she actually knew, with whom
she had spoken, and whose hands she
had taken. the victims of this brutal
blood-lust.

human beasts could sleep!
