The crowd surged fordward, then 'Chuck him inl"
turned. Every eye was directed across
the stream. A hundred damning fing-
ers pointed at the solitary figure there.
There 'were .hoarse yells •oaf "There the
be! Yon'shint! 'What's he done wi' it?
Thief! 'Throttle himll'
The mob came 1'u mberipg down the
slope like one man, thundering their
iniprecation•s on a thousand throats.
They looked dangerous, and their
wrath was stimulated by the knot of
angry Dalesmen who led the vain,
There was more than one white face
among the women at the top of the
slope as they watched the crowd blun-
dering blindly down the hill, There
were more men than :Parson Leggy,
the squire,'Jantes 'Moore, and the local
constables in the thick of it all, .striv-
ing frantically with voice and 'gesture,.
ay, and stick too, to stem the advance,
It was useless; on she dark wave
rolled, irresistible.
On the far bank stood the •little
mall, motionless, awaiting them with a
grin upon his face. And a 'little fart'h
er in front was the Tailless Tyke, his
back and neck like a new -shorn wheat -
field, as he rumbled a vast challenge.
"Come on, gentlemen!" the little
man cried, "Come on! I''11 bide for ye,
never fear. Ye're a thousand to one
and a dog. It's the odds ye' like, Eng-
lishmen a'."
And the mob, with murder in its
throat, accepted the invitation and
came on.
At the moment, however, from the
slope above, clear above the tramp of
the multitude, a great voice .bellowed:
"Way! Way! Way for Mr, Trotter!"
The ,advancing host checked and op-
ened out; and the ,secretary of the
meeting bundled through.
He was a small, fat man, fussy at
any time, and perpetually perspiring,
Now his face was crimson with rage
and running; he gesticulated wildly;
vague words bubbled forth, es his
Shart'rp-0 '.t"+yvinkled down the slope.
The crowd paused to admire. Some
one shouted a witticism, nd the crowd
laughed. For the moment the situa-
tion was saved. '
The fat secretary hurried on down
the slope, unheeding of any insult but
the one. He bounced over the plank -
bridge: and as he came closer, M'Ad-
arn saw that in each hand brandished
a brick.
"Hoots, manl dinna throw!" he
cried, making a feint es though to
turn in sudden terror,
"What's this? 'What's this?" gasp-
ed the secretary, waving his arms.
"Bricks, twad seem," the other an-
swered, staying his flight.
IThe secretary puffed tip like a pud-
ding iii a hurry.
'"eelhere's to Cup? Champion, Chal-
lenge, etc.," he jerked out. "Mind, sir,
you're responsible! wholly respons-
ible! Dents, damages, delays! I W''hat's
it all mean, sir? These -these mon-
strous 'creations" -he brandished the
bricks, and M1'Adam started back—
"wrapped, as I live, in straw, sir, in
the Cup case, air! the Cup',case! No
Cup! Infamous! :Disgraceful! Insult
me—meeting—committee—every one!
What's it mean, sir?" -He patessed to
pant, his 'body filling and emptying
like a bladder.
MlAdam approached him with one.
eye on the crowd which was heaving
forward and threatening 'still, but sul-
len and silent.
"I pit 'em there," he v',hispered;
and drew back to watch the effect of
his disclosure.
The secretary gasped.
"You -you not only do this—am-
azing.. thing -these monstrosities"—
he hurled the •bricks furiously on the
enoffending ground -Phut yc'u dare
to tell 'me sol"
The little man smiled.
"Do wrang and conceal it, do right
and confess it,' that's the English-
men's motto, and mine, as a ride;'but
this time I had ma reasons."
The mob with Tamales and Long
Kirby at their head .had now ° well
nigh reached the plank 'bridge. They
still looked dangerous, and there
were isolated cries of:
"Duck himl"
'An'the,dog!"
"We one o' they bricksabout their
necks!"
'There are myreasons!" said M'-
Adam, •pointing to the 'forest Of ,men-
acing ,face's. "Ye see I'm no 'be'lo'ved
au0ang yonder gentlemen, :and =in a
stage whisper in the other's ear—"I
th•och't maybe !I'd 'be"'taoketl on the
road."
!Tam pas 'fo'remost of the crowd,
had now his foot -'upon the first
plank, ,
"Ye rolblber! ye thief! (Wait til' we
set hands 'OH ye, you and yer gorilla!"
he called. •
McAdam half turned.
",1Wullie," the 'said quietly, "'keep the
bridge."
!At' the order the 'Tailless Tyke
shot gladly forward and the leaders
on the bridge as hastily !back, The
dog galloped on to the rattling plank
and took hi's post fair and 'square in
the centre of the narrow way, and
stood 'facing the 'hostile craw like
Cerberus guarding 'the gates of hell:
his bull -head was thrust eforward,
hackles up, teeth tinting, and a dis-
tant rumbling in :his throat, as 'though
daring then' to ,come on.
"Yo' first, ole lad!" said 'Tammas,
hopping agilely behind Long Kirby.
"`Nay, the old uns dead!" cried the
big smith, hi's` face gray -white. He
wrenched round, pinned the old man
by the arms, and held him forcibly
before.him asa covering 'shield. •T'here
ensued an unseemly struggle betwixt
fhe two valiants, 'Tammas bellowing
and kfc'kin in the throes 'oaf mortal
fear.

gested at •last. ,
'Nay," said honest Tien; "I'm fear-

'matter long past dispute.

Nay; Jem had a lovin' wife and
dear little kids at 'once.
Then Sig ,Bell?
!Big Bell'd see 'ilsself further`tirst,
A tall figure came 'forcing through
the crowd, his face' a little paler than
its wont, and 'a 'formidable 'kno'beker
ry in his 'hand.
'I'm goin'!" said ,David.
"'But yo're not," answered (burly
Same, gripping she boy 'from behind
with .arms like the roots of an oak.
"Your •bime'd1 roam soon enough by
the look on yo' wi' niver no hurry."
And the 'sense of the ,Dalesmen was
with the big man, for, as old •Rob
Saunderson said:
"I reck'n he'd liefer claw an to your
throat, lad, nor ony o' ours."
tees there was no one forthcoming to
claim the honor of the lead, Tammas
came forward with cunning counsel,
"Tell yo' what, lads, we'd -best let

him go first. And oust they're on,
mind, we wine let 'em off; but ,keep
'a'sho'vi•n and a-'bovin 'on 'em forra'd,
Then us'll feller."
Sy this time there was •a little n:ak-
ed 'space of green round the bridge-
head, like a fairy circle,, into which
the uninitiated plight not penetrate.
Round this the mob hedged: the
Dalesmen in front, striving knavishly
back and 'bawling to those beh.ied to.

urged valorously 'forward, yelling jeers
and contumely at the front rank.

Aird as they wedged and !jostled
thus, there stole out from their midst
as gallant a champion as ever trod the
.rases. He trotted out into the ring,
the o'hserved of all, and paused to
raze at the gatint figure on the
hri;lge: The sun lit the sprinkling of

Forward the gray dog stepped.
Then, for the second :time that af-

ringing down from The 'slope over the
heads of bhe'many.
"'Kolb, lad, camback!

lAnd Red Wail threw baok:his head
and 'bellowed a paean of victory—

in that bull -like, Ibilood-chilling bare.

All Friday ellA,dain never 'left -the
kitchen, 'fie sat opposite the Cup, inW
a coma, as it were; and 'Red 'ull lay
motionless at his feet,
iS'aturdcame, ay cae, and 'still the two
never 'budged. 'Toward the evening
the 'little ,man rose, alliin a tremble,
and took the Cup down .from the
mantelpiece; then he' sat down again
with it in his' arras,
"Eh, Willie, 'Wullie, is it a dream?
'Ha' they took -her fro us? Eh, 'but it's
you and 'I chane, lad."
He hugged it to ,him, crying silently
and rocking to and fro like a mother
with a dying child. tAnd'Red ''Well sat
up on his haunches and weaved from
side to side in sympathy.
' As the dark was .falling, David
looked in.
At the 'sound of the opening door;
the little man swung round noiseless-
ly, the Cup" nursed in his arms,.and
glared, sullen andsu'spicious,' at the
boy; yet seemed not to recognize him,
lin the half-light .David could see the
tears coursing down the little wizen-
ed face.
." "Pon ,ma life, ,he's gaein' daftl"

to Kenmuir. And. again the mourners
were left alone.
"A few hours noo, 'Wultie," . the
little mac .wailed. "and she'll be'gone,

her fair; she's•'lit the hoose' for us;

!Ile rose to his feet, and the great
dog rose with him. His voice height-

with' the Cup ia'his arms till it seem-
ed 'he must fall.
