"So he do," said Sol. "An' his eyes is middlin' good." "Jesso." "An' he ain't erfeered." "Not er drap." "Ther still hunters is skeery." "So they is." "S'pose he'll do?" "Leather Breeches," raising his hand, "jes as yer say. Yer ain't never been fooled in er man yit, an' ef this un fool yer he's ther fust un." "Pap, he's Equar." "Nuff said. Stranger, come in ther house." Two days later the stranger was still a guest of the "moonshiners." He had found his land lying alongside of Old Sol's, and had spent the time in going over it and planning for its future devel-opment and in long talks with the beau-tiful rustic Leather Breeches. "Breeches," aaid be on the second day of his sojourn, "don't you get lonely with co one but the old man?' "Not so pow'ful. Is yer done got tired nv us?" "I'd never tire of you." "That's what pap says." Then there was a pause. "Breeches," said he, "I'm going to clear up all that land of mine and put it in cotton." "Reckon I keer?" "And build a neat framed house up there on the hill." "WaP" . "And paint it and live in it." "All by yerself." "No." "Oh, you's married!" "No." , "Then who's gwinter be wid yen "You." "How yer know?" "Because I love you." "Would yer fout for me? "Yes." "Wal, ver'U hatter do it. Five minutes later they were before Old Sol. "Pap," said Leather Breeches, "he wants me." , "Air yer purty stout, stranger? asked Old Sol, laying aside his gun. "Kasa ef yer ain't yer won't git her." "I can usually hold my own. "Wal, yer hatter whup me." "I can "do it." "Come out in ther yard an' squar yer- - Old Sol hopped out of the door nimble as a cat. n "Takd the 'in turn' on him, stranger, whispered Leather Breeches. ' 'He can t stand the 'in turn.' " and a changing scene presents itself. Variegated stones, pebbles, petrified trees and sparkling crystals rise suc-cessively to your enchanted vision. Leather Breeches' eyes were like this. She was a great help to Old Sol and a great comfort, too, for when he was d she put her arm around his neck and kissed him, and sometimes teased him to get hira right again. Often she would say, "Pap, I'm gwino ter marry." "Leather Breeches," he would say, "don't yer think uv it. Thor Mian whut gits yer '11 hatter whup mo furst, that's shore. An' I ain't no slouch, fer I've done up ther best uv 'em in my time." "Don't get riled, pap; I was jest er plaguin' uv yer," she would console. "I wouldn't lcitvo yer fer nobody." One evening Old Sol was chopping some pino in front of the cabin door when a well dressed man with light hair and blue eyes approached unobserved aud stood within a few feet of him. "Good evening," said the stranger. Old Sol straightened himself, eyed him critically from head to foot and said: ' "Howdy." . "I am seeking lodgings for the night, said the well dressed man in answer to this greeting. . Sol scrutinized hira again as before, and after some deliberation remarked: "Looks ter me lack I orter know yer. "You ought," said the stranger. "It s no disgrace." . "I reckon not," said old Sol, in such a doubts as to whether tone as left some it was sarcasm or admiration. "I remarked," said the stranger after an awkward pause, "that I was hunting a place to spend the night. "And don't yer know ther way? said the old man with a foolish grin.

Hartman was by no means a bad niaru Youth, love and opportunity made him a criminal. That porkotbook full of bank bills had been loft in the counting room. There was no one present, and the young man had thoughtlessly seized it. All that had happened moro than four years ago. Straugo that no suspicion had fallen on him! It is true, ho enjoyed tho confi-dence and' favor of his employer, but also a happy chance had a good( deal to do with it. 'It happened thatnst t that time an office boy had been detected in some misdemeanor and forced to leave. Naturally, of course, ho was suspected of having committed the theft likewise. An able young lawyer had been retain-ed to investigate the case, aud ho was not a little chagrined at his failure to discover the perpetrator. Hartman experienced a moment of re-lief, but only a moment, as a burden as of load seemed to weigh on him. Might not some new clow be found, some unforeseen occurrence throw light on the matter? The torture lusted for four horrible yearn. The very thought of it made the perspiration start on his forehead in the coldest days. Why did he not invent some pretext for going abroad? He was often on tho point of doing so, but the fear of arous-ing suspicion by any singularity of con-duct prevented him from putting tbis idea into execution. So he lived on with this threatening ictr ever before his eyes, unable to dispel it or to hide him-self from it. "The others" he would not even to himself use a more definite expression ' 'are in jail for their wrong doing do they suffer more? They are deprived of free-dom indeed; the blow has fallen heavily upon them with tho sentence of the court; but afterwards there is peai:e around and within them." To acense himself That would bo foolish. Chance had favored him hither-to; why should it not continue to do so? Ho moro hoping, more trembling. Hartman h;d become by his ui:Ao-meano- r, strange to say a dilettante in matters of law. He liad furnished him-self with a book on tue criminal code and the criminal procedure, together with various comnienwrii-s- . These books formed his favorite reading after shut-ting bis dix.r at night. With a hasty eag-erness he devoured their contents. As a chess player would treat an in-teresting problem, so ho treated hiscaso. Mitigating circumstance, the chances in a trial, everything por.Mble and im;wi-sihl- e that a layman could extract trow his iuristii: material, wire brought into moment; wtiy nugnt not a miracle hap-pen, and time for once, just once, maku a leap? Tho almanac became, from that time on, his best friend. He could sit bent over it for hours, counting first tfc months, then the weeks, then tho dnyi aKain and again, lu the middle of tho night the thought would strike him that he had made a mistake In counting; the. lamp was quickly lighted, and his work began anew. Time never passes slower than when one counts the minutes. It seemed to llartmau sometimes as if it stood still, or as if the minutes grew maliciously to hours, the hours to days. If he only could spend a few hour In sleep! The thought led him to buy opium, and now many a day and almost every night was passed in artificial slum-ber. A moment of relief enmc, when he awoke and realized that m and so many hour had passed. Tho continual exritewnt could not fiiil to undermine even such a powerful constitution as Hartman possessed. Witt every day that brought him nearer to the longed for goal, he grew feebler and paler. Jt seemed to him hm if his limu wero lead, as if his head were too heuy lo lr:nr. Ho dragged himself heavily from the sofa to thechair, from tho chair to the sofa. When pain in the Lack seized him he called a physician. "You are going to have a severe sick-neta- ," was his decixion. "Of what kind? Bo perfectly frank, I am aluno in the world, wi'l tmrat inuao my arrangements." " Well , the symptoms lis .k 1 i ke t yplft. llartman's fnra became even pulei than his eyes sUired with the ex-pression of horror upon (ho speaV'-r- "A slow fever, in which otio Uoi-- s not lose consciousness; is it not so, doeturf Certainly so?"

"Now he will bo ib lirious," they whispered at tlmin. There wiia a deafening ringing In Hartmnn'i ears. Ho frit a terrible rage against the black assembly. Ho had a mind to put out hi tongue at thrm and to call: "Walt, if you will you fools, you will not hear one syllable from mo; I shall remain mute b tho grave." lint he controlled himwlf aud remained quietly lying.
