It became a rich but broken voice, and they heard it singing like the sound of some far, halting minstrelsy: "Wave willows -murmur waters -golden sunbeams smile, Earthly music -cannot waken-lovely-- Annie aken-lovely- Annie Lisle." Meredith gave an exclamation. The bandaged hand waved jauntily over the Teller's head. "Ali, men," he said, almost clearly, and tried to lift himself on his arm, "I tell you it's a grand eleven we have this year! There will be little left of anything that stands against them.

He Clad been struck by the coincidence of 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 on the pike to a big tree.

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 cheated Hartley Bowlaer, and they weren't vindictive. They even seemed to be trying to help me a little, though perhaps they were only stealing my clothes, and maybe they thought for them to do anything unpleasant would be superfluous.

The law- our ter, briefly and with unlegal agitation, administered an oath. and then there , was silence. "Now, Mr. Harkless, if you please," said Burrett insinuatingly, "if you feel like telling us as much as you can about it." He answered in a low, rather indis- tinct voice vory deliberately, pausing before almost every word. It was easy work for the sleepy stenographer. "1 understand. I don't want to go of my head again before I finish. If It were only for myself I should tell you nothing, because if I am to leave I should like it better if no ono were punished.

Please tell me how long ago it happened. I shall not die, I think. There are a good many things I want to know about." He moved restlessly, and the nurse soothed him. Meredith roso and left the room with a noiseless step. He went out to the stars again and looked to them to check the storm of rage and sorrow that buf- feted is bosons. He understood lynch- ing, now the thing was home to him, and his feeling was no inspiration of a fear lest the law miscarry. It was the itch to get his own hand on the rope. Horner came out presently and whis- pered a long, broad, profound curse upon the men of the Crossroads, and Meredith's gratitude to him was keen, Barrett went away soon after, and Meredith bad a strange, unreasonable desire to kick Barrett, posaibiy for his sergeant's sake. Warren Smith sat in the ward with the nurse and Gay, and the room was very quiet. It was a long vigil. They were only waiting. At 5 o'clock he was still alive -just that, Smith carie out to say. Meredith sent a telegram to Helen which would give Plattville the news that Harkless was found and was not yet gone from. them. Horner left for the station to catch a train. There were things for him to do in Carlow. At noon Meredith sent n second telegram to Helen as bar- ren of detail as the first, He was alive; was a little improved.

Bob, Skillett, Force Johnson and ono or two others needed the care of a physician badly, and one man was suffering from a severely wrenched back.
