Ole name, but he had not dreamed that
the Carlow Harkless was his friend
until Helen's telegram had reached
hint that evening.
He shivered. His name was spoken
from within, and Horner came out on
the steps with the two eminent sur-
geons, and the latter favored him with
a few words which he did not under-
stand. He did understand, however,
what Horner told him. Somehow the
look of the sheriff's Sunday coat, wrin-
kling forlornly from his broad, bent
shoulders, was both touching and sol-
emn. He said simply: "He's conscious
and not out of his head. They're gone
in to gut his antemortem statement"
And they re-entered the ward.
Harkless' eyes were bandaged. • The
lawyer was speaking to him, and as
Horner went awkwardly toward the
cot Warren said something indicative
Horner and Smith bad started at the ,J'
mention of the Crossroads, but thel
subdued their ejaculations, while Mr.
Barrett looked as if he had known it,
of course. The room wax still, save
for the dim voice and the soft tran-
scribinga of the etylographie pen.
"I left Judge Briscoe's and went west

had: There was plenty of lightning
to see. The two in the road were Mm -

so I started east toward town. I pass-

fired a shot as a signal, and I got his
hood oft his face for it. I stopped
long enough, and It was Force John-
son. I know him well. Then I ran,
and they followed. A little ahead of
me I saw six or eight of them spread
across the road. I knew l'd Have a
time getting through, so I jumped the
fence to cut across the fields. I lit in
a swarm of them. It had rained thele
just where I jumped. I set my back
to the fence, but one of the fellows in
the road leaned over and smashed my
head in, rather -with the butt of a
gun, I believe. I came out from the
fence, and they made a little circle
around me. No one said anything. I
saw they hed ropes and saplings, and
I didn't want that exactly, so I went
in to them. I got a good many masks
off before it was over, and I can swear
to quite a number besides those I told
you."
He named the men slowly and care-
fully. Then he went on: "I think they
gave tip the notion of whipping. We
all got into a buneitl and they couldn't
get clear to shoot without hitting some
of their own, and there was a lot of
gouging and ktektug. One fellow near-
ly got my left eye, and I tried to tear
him apart, and he eereamed a good
deal. Once or twice I thought I might
get away, but somebody hammered me
over the head and face again, and I got
dizzy, and then they all jumped away
from me suddenly, and Bob Skillett
stepped up end -and shot me. He
waited for a flurry of lightnipg, and I
was slow tumbling down. Some one
else fired a shotgun, I think, I can't be
sure, about the seine time from the
side. I tried to get up, but I couldn't,
and then they got together for a con-
sultation. The man I had hurt -I didn't
recognize him -came and looked at use.
He was nursing himself all over and
groaned, and I laughed, I think; at any
rate my arm was lying stretched out
on the grass, and he stamped his heel
into my hand, and atter a little of that
I quit feeling.
"I'm not quite clear about what hap-
pened afterward. They went away -
not far, I think. There's an old shed, a
cattle shelter, near there, and I think
the storm drove them under it to wait
for a slack. It seemed a long time.
Sometimes I was conscious, sometimes
I wasn't. I thought I might be
drowned, but I suppose the rain was
good for me. Then 1 remember being in
motion, being dragged and carried a
long way. They carried mo up a steep,
short slope and set me down near the
top. I knew that was the railroad em-
bankment, and I thought they meant to
lay me across the track, but it dldu't
occur to them -they are not familiar
with melodrama -and a long time after
that I felt and heard a great baugtng
and rattling under me and all about
me, and it came to me that they had
disposed of me by hoisting me into an
empty freight car. Tho odd part of it
was that the car wasn't empty, *,4y
there were two men already in it, 4pt'l
I knew them by what they said to me.
"They were the two shell men that

the storm of rage and sorrow that buf-
