(Continued from Teeter-day.)
"Did you remain at Dr. Jamison's house
when you reached there?"
"Na. For when I had seen the pulr
lessle taken awsy by the kind glide wife
of the doctor, and I knew she were safe,
I keeplt thlnkln' of how fast the" men
had gone fra the hoose that nlcht. ami
I aay to Mr. Iandgdon. 'I will jes' tal..:
a run back to the town, I'm thlnkln'. anil
make sure there's na harm coom to Dan'

Ingdon says, quick like, 'What do ycu
mean?" So I told him and the doctor,
and Mr. Iangdon was all fer coomln"
wT me, but the doctor wouldna let him.
Dinna fash yersel." I said, when I sa
the doctor was richt. 'I'll gae fast, and If
there Is need fer you I'll com right back.'
And the doctor said, 'Tou're all wort)
out. Philip. You've got to have some
rest. Be sensible.' So I went back alone."
"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
whan you approached the Pngo house?"
Slowly one sreat hand clincncd itself
Into a knotted flat, and the muscle of
li'a Jaw tightened, and across those who
at between, the gr.iy ever of the Scotch
man and the Uar-dlmmcd eye of Mns
Pare met In a mute communion -t ter
rible memories. Then, alowly. with a
new tone of suppressed excitement In hla
volte ha aald:
"When I got nle enough to see the
hoose. I cude see a great black splotch
In front of It, that I made oot to be
men. Then I cude hear shouts: 'Com
oot. Dan Page, we've aummat to say
to you.' So I dldna driv right cop
to th place. I atopplt in the road and
creplt through the wood at the back
and. hiding under . th hedge, got oop
to' the rear. Then I wrote on a we
acrap of paper. 'I've news of Mary
and I come to bring help." Then I tap
pit on a window, till I as w Mr. Pag
peerln" oot and I held up the paper.
"After a minute or so she unlatchit
the back door and I sllpplt In. "Oh. Mr.
Mat Pherson.' says the pulr lady. cryin
Is my girl eafer And I says, 'Safe and
aound asleep.' And she says, 'Thank
Ood.' Then I heerd another voice say in',
'Annie. Annie who la It? Don't let them
get me oh. my Ood. tjoo't let them get
me." And I saw that Daa Page was
hldln' around her, clingln' to her skirt
like a scared bairn. His face were all
drawn and twlstlt like, and hla mouth
waa slobberin', and he kept cryln'. 'I was
drunk I was drunk! You can tell them.
Annie You tell them!' At that ahe
says like one speakln' to a child. There,
there, Dan you're safe!' And then there
came an awfu' cry from ootslde: 'Come
oot, Dan Page or we'll smoke y oot
like the beaet that y are.' At that
Mr a. Page began ta sob and says. "Oh.
what shall I do? What shall I do? They

will you do that? Tell them you didn't

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

a small speck that ahe knew was an

At sight of It she had forgotten every
