the doctor was richt. 'I'll gae fast, and If

And the doctor said, 'Tou're all wort)

"At what hour did you reach the home
of Miss Page?"
"I dinna ken the exact hour, but it
were aboot daylight, and I cude aee quite
a waya ahead of me."
"Will you tell ua, please, what you saw

"When I got nle enough to see the

creplt through the wood at the back
and. hiding under . th hedge, got oop

"After a minute or so she unlatchit

'Annie. Annie who la It? Don't let them

came an awfu' cry from ootslde: 'Come

upstair and talk to them from a win

will you do that? Tell them you didn't
mean to hurt Slary or or me." 'No. no,'
he whimpered, 'I can't. 1 ran t.' But I
Krabblt hiin by the arm and pulled him
to his feet, 'lie a man.' I cried, and I
sliooklt him. 'Be a man and get you
upstairs.'
" 'You'd be safj In the cupola, Dan,'
says Mra. Pag-e. 'I'll stay with you
and thla kind man will go for Philip.'
But he kept say In' 'No, no.' and I could
hear the othera bangin' at the dour and
I dared not stay, so I sllpplt oot the way
I came and went off for Mr. Langdon."
Mra. Page, whose anxiety to be near
Mary had kept her from returning to the
witness room, shuddered at the memories
that Mac Pherson was conjuring up out
of the past. The softness which time
had lent the tragedy of that chill winter
morning was stripped off, exposing the
old horrible groping fingers. Icy cold,
clutching at her as she strove to drag
Dan Page upstairs towards the cupola.
She could hear his voice, now thick
with drink, now thrill with terrible fear
-aa he pleaded with her to hide him
and to save him. She had been merci
fully numb with the horor of it then;
consumed only with the desire to hold
thoae men at bay long enough for Mac
Pheraon to bring help, and It was that
desire which gave her the strength to
drsg the heavy bulk of her husband up
the two flights of stairs Into the llttlR
cupola at the top.
She could feel again the sling of the
cold dawn wind against her face a she
stepped out on the platform of rough
boards and dropped the Inert figure of
her husband at her feet.
Then with all the eloquence of her
great fear ahe had pleaded with the
mob to go away. - They had seemed all
eyea floating on a great pool of black
ness sacalnst the snow as she looked
down, but later she could see the grim
mouths below the eyes and knew that
her ileaa were falling on deaf ears.
Finally one who seemed to be the ring
leader had atepped forward and cried:
"Where la your husband? It la he that
we wsnt to talk to." And she hsd lied
and said, "lie is sleeping."
They muttered ominously at that and
again the ringleader spoke: "We have
no quarrel with you.yMrs. Page, but no
drunkard who strikes his daughter and
drives her Insane shall stay In thla town
Dan Page has got to go."
"He will, he will." ahe promised wildly.
"I ll take him 'away today. He didn't
mean to hurt us he didn't know what he
waa doing But he'll go away oh, I
promise that." And again the grim voice
answered her:
"He'lt go, but we'll aee him off. Let
hint atand up like a man and talk to us."
At that they all took up th shout for
Page, and he, lying on . his face on the
boards, moaned and prayed to the Ood
he had long forgotten to save hi in.
How long aha talked and urged and
wept and pleaded Mra. Page herself did
not remember, but somehow she had
held them atlli threatening still omi
nous till fsr down the road she saw
a small speck that ahe knew was an
approaching sleigh with two figures In it.
At sight of It she had forgotten every
thing except an lnflnlta relief, and cry
