ULTOX suddenly shrank from Aimer's touch. A shudder ran through him. lie turned his distorted face to Aimer. It was F the face of a fiend goaded by despair. "Huh:" he snarled. He rose and sttKnl swaying to and fro like a reed in a windstorm. "You are jest up to yone old sly tricks. All you have jest said is to lend me into a trap. You need Howard Tinsley in yore business. Look here. Aimer Daniel! You know you hain't got a feather's weight o' proof agin me. You are tryin to bluff rue." Aimer endeavored to step nearer the .man. but Fulton slunk farther away. "You let me alone. Abner Daniel," he muttered sullenly. "You stop dog gin' me an' dinsdongin this thing at lue. I ain't gokf ter put up with it from you nor nobody else. Thar is a p'int you hain't thought about j it. an You let me alone, Abner Daniel," he muttered sullenly. it's a big un. Do you want to know what it is? One man is already down on the docket to testify that he seed Howard at Craig's gate jest a little while 'fore the the shot was fired. What ef another feller livin' In the neighborhood was to say was to swear that he seed even more'n that heard more'n that! How does that strike you?" "It don't strike me at all. Abe," Ab ner answered, with a bluntness he could not restrain. "A man as guilty as you are couldn't stand up before a fourt full o honest men an" tell a tale o that sort an make it go down." Abe swayed back and forth. "I give you fair warnin, he mat tered. "You keep me out o' this thing. I see what you are tryln' to do. but it won't work. It won't! It won't!" He turned and stalked away. Abner saw the figure of a man emerge from the shadow of the stable .ind approach. It was I'ole Baker. "Don't Hy off the handle, Uncle Ab," Tole said, half apologetically. "I give you my word I ain't iuterferin' with you in this thing at all." "Well, what do you mean by turnin' up so dang often?'' Abner inquired. "Seems to me that. I never see this fel ler without runnla' ou you like a p'inter dog squat tin behind a stump pome'r's." "It's this way. Uncle Ab," Pole laugh ed softly. "I know you are runniu' this thing, an I don't Intend to bother you in the least, but I'm feelin so bad over the little progress that's made that I thought ef I watched Abe like a hawk I mought by some accident drap on to a little somen' that mought lie'p you out." "Well, have you that's what I'd like I o know?" Abner leaned oiAhe fence, a picture of tter dejection. - "I've seed enough to know that Abe J as restless as the devil hisse'f goin' f.hout seekin' some'n to devour. I've teed 'ini a dozen times when he thought nobody was lookiu. For one thing. I noticed that he goes regular every day down in the big swamp be J'w his cabin, lie's' wor'e'a little' path o his own in the weeds an grass. An t'other day, when I knowed he was ofT in town, I slipped down thar. 15ut 1 didn't find nothiu', Uncle Ab, except lhat his tracks come to a end at a particular spot in the thickest part o' ll:e swamp. I couldn't make nothin' ,l it except that he jest loved to go to jsoine one quiet spot." "I see. an so that come to nothin," Aburr sighed. "I actually don't know," Pole return ed, "but it give rue an idea. I knowed 1 couid kivrr my tracks, an' si day be fore yesterday 1 went down thar be fore he did an hid myse'f as nigh the spot as I could with safety. I lay down flat in the bulrushes an waited fer him to come. It was a long wait an iiot pleasant, fer the gnats an mos quitoes fairly chawed the meat off my bones, but after'awhiie I heard 'im a-comin. The spot was mighty shady, an' I couldn't see his face good, but I heard 'im mumblin some'n' to hisse'f. Then he set in to swingin his arms about 'im. an I heard 'im groaniii'- like he was in torment." "Then then what did he do?" Ab ner leaned forward, a look of tense eagerness on .him as he spoke. "Why. he started to go back." I'ole replied. ; ""He -plunged into the cane brake an' willows, . an . I heard 'im thrashiu' his way through the bushes at a great rate. I was about to crawl out an slip after 'im when I seed 'im come back. He stood J.wistin his hands over his head an' behin' hs back, an' then all at once he fell flat on his all fours an' stuck his face right in the mire. Then, Uncle Ab, I heard 'im prayin'. I couldn't catch what he was sayin', fer it was mostly groans an grunts, but I beard 'im callin' on God. I heard 'im savin': God help me! God have mercy T " 'You heard that, did you?" Abner ex claimed. "Are you sure you heard that?" "Yes, but that was all, Uncle Ab, an I've been mad at myse'f ever since fer not runnin on some'n' worth while. 1 hate like rips to be beat in this thing." Abner was silent for a moment, then he looked at Pole with a grateful smile. "I'm glad you watched 'im. When you come just now I had plumb lost hope myself, but I feel better now. Pole, the whole truth, proof an all, is locked up in Abe Fulton's heart an' soul. I've been hopin that- I could stir up pity in 'im an' pit 'im to do the right thing before God an' man, an' I've been v.orkin to that end. but he said some'n jest now that made me lose faith in that plan. In fact. I was beginniu to fear that his conscience was dead, but it ain't it ain't quite. Pole, a man killer that prays to God while his hands are wet with his vic tim's blood aint hopeless. You didn't know it. but you've brought me the only news that could keep my hopes alive. Good night, Tole. I must go in." v "Good night. Uncle Ab. I'm due at home too. I ain't a prayin' man. but I feel like It sometimes I feel like it when I hear a feller like you talk as you are a-doin' now. You are the best ail round link betwixt this world and the next that I ever run across, an' ef I ever git to heaven it will be by hang- in' on to yore coattail." The next morning after he had left Mary at the office Abner walked around to the Jail, taking a quiet side street to avoid passing through the business section of the town. Abner ascended the narrow stairs slowly. The .first flight was rather dark, and he had to place" his feet care fully. However, there was more light in the neighborhood of Howard's cell, and as Abner drew near the bars he saw Howard rise from his cot at his approach and stand peering through the squares at him. "ITcllo. Howard! now are you. my boy?" Abner asked, mastering his emo tion with difficulty and trying to speak la a cheerful, offhand tone. "Oh. I'm all right. Uncle Ab. How are you?" Abner was dismayed at the change in Howard's appearance since he had last seen him. He was paler and thinner, and worry had cut deep lines in his face. His eyes glowed with the fire of despair. His hair stood stiffly awry, and his hands quivered as they clutched the bars, "I say I'm all right, but I don't know that I am any thing to bosst of. I am only flesh and blood, after all. and this is a pretty tough situation. I try to hope. I keep saying, to myself that it will come out right, but sometimes I doubt it ' I know what I've got to face In my trial, and there is hardly one chance in a hundred of escaping the gallows. The more I think about it the worse the situation seems." "Oh. you are blue." Abner returned, unsteadily. "Confinement has upset yore liver. It will do it fer the stout est constitutions. You must keep up hoie. The editorials you are writing are the finest things you ever done. Then thar's Mary think of her. How ard." Abner ss.w a look of inexpressible tenderness suffuse the wan. steel framed face and teard the prisoner sigh. "Lord, Lord, Uncle Ab," he said. "I seldom think of any one else here of late. If I am condemned to death I'll carry to the end the sweet thought of what she has been and is to me. That is worrying me, "too, and I don't know what to do about it." "How is it worrying you?" Abner asked. "Why, Uncle Abner" Howard's voice shook, and he averted his eyes "her beautiful young life, so fuli of sweet unselfishness, ought not to be associated in any way with mine. I brought this thing on myself. She used to warn me against my hot temper and plead with me to control it. If I had listened to. her advice Fd never have been accused of this crime, and so now some people are saying that she and I are engaged to be married. She is the most wonderful girl in all the world and deserves a long life of happiness. She doesn't deserve having her name dragged in the mire like this. I don't care so very much for myself now. Fye .passed that point but the con sciousness that that dear girl is suffer ing through my worthless existence and may suffer even more is unbearable." "Don't say that, my boy," Abner pleaded. "You now know what a wo man's love means. You now know what many a husband don't know even after passiit' a long life with a faithful wife. Ton have proof that Mary Trum j bley would die fer jo. Ain't that some'n'?" I Howard's breast rose under a billow of emotion. "We've never spoken of , our love," he said. "We talk chiefly of our work. You see. I am not in a po- sition to tell her how I feel. I didn't , before this, and I can't now. I want i her to know how I have grown to love her and lean on her since I came here, and yet I can't honorably mention it." "I understand," Abner said tenderly. "You needn't bother about that, though. Mary knows. She shows it in her geu tle face when she comes back to the office after seoin' you. She has been my mainstay in this matter, Howard. She hain't never fer one second doubt ed yore release. She gits that. from God direct. She is sufferin' keen pain over the way you are beiu' treated, but. she believes in her heart that it will end." Within half a mile of Trumbley's were the Ililldale camp meeting grounds, which were used annually by several Protestant churches for open air union services for a week. The time had come around again, the fanners hav ing laid by their crops to wait for their ripening and being free to attend On the first Sunday' of the meeting the spaces in the surrounding level woodland were well staked off and filled with housekeeping tents, each having its fireplace, where food was prepared. On that first Sunday morning Abner rose and looked out of his window upon the road. He dressed himself carefully, putting on his best black trousers and coat, which was a long frock and worn without a vest in the summer, and then went out on the dew wet lawn. Here he met Mary, an erupty pan under her arm. She was coming from the barnyard, where she had been to feed the chickens. "I thought yore ma did that job since you ltecome a up to date newspaper woman?" he jested as she greeted him with a welcoming smile. "I do it on Sundays," she answered. "I don't want the chickens to forget me." "Big meetin they are goin' to have down at the shed." he remarked, brush ing some lint off the sleeve of his coat. "They say Drother Wellman is a reg ular wheel boss at whoopin' up sinners an backsliders. You are a-goin', ain't you ?' She shook her head, put down her pan on the grass and began to retiu his cravat, which she said looked like a shoestring. "I don't feel like it," she said, with a swift glance into his eyes, her lips quivering. "Last year Howard and I went together, and and well, 1 don't want to go." "I remember," Abner said, seeing that her voice had completely failed her. "I remember when he come by fer yoa. Me an' him had a chat thar on the steps while you- was primpin up an puttin' yore hat on. La, la. things have changed, hain't they? I watched you two as you passed through the gate an strollyd across the mead ow to escape the -dust o' the road, both of you pickin flowers. I went on to meetin an set thar a good half hour 'fore you an him finally come. You made a purty sight, as purty as I'd c are to see. I remember I thought that you two didn't need no cut an' dried religion. Thar was youth an' bappi- ness, good will an laitn summ out o yore faces. I remember how you an him giggled out loud when the bench give way an Brother Carroll had sech n tumble in the straw an got up so mad that he refused to pray when they axed 'im. Them seem happy days when you look byk on 'em. We ort to look forward fer happiness instead o' back, but we don't as a rule." "I can't go to the meeting, I simply can't," Mary half sobbed. "You don't knw what you are talkin about, child. I've a good mind to be more plain in what I say. Don't you see God's hand in it all? Arter the time o' which I jest spoke, when you an' Howard was so happy, things be gun to happen agin the harmony of it all. He indulged his natural pride an hot temper an this trouble caroe on him. An what was the consequence? Why, he's learnt a great lesson. Arr you you have showed that you are a woman o' brain an' power an' heart an' have won his very soul. Mary, my child, he loves you with a love that is as rare as a flower growin' ou a moun tain o ice a love that never could "a" been born any other way. His face melts an glows, his voice shakes, when he talks about you an' how dear yo"u are to 'im. He says he uain't told you about it, fer he feels unworthy of you because this blight is ou 'im. Now rnow. this is jest the earthly part of the whole 'divine process you an' him are goin through, an' it ain't as bad as you think it is. You may be losin' faith an hope, but I hain't His love an' yore'n is too beautiful, too glorious, too Godlike, to ever be crushed clean out He's goin' to be free, I tell you. girL I simply will not give up. I won't! I won't! God will give us light. He will! He will!" "Oh, Uncle Abner Uncle Abner!" Mary began. "You are so good so full of faith and courage! I'm going to meeting with you. I want to be by your side today, for I hare almost giv en up." Tears in her eyes, she turned and walked away. (To B Continued.) Horses For Sale.
