(By Emma M. Wise.) HERE was a long lane leading from (he highway hack to Juan Nelson's house. It was a narrow, snow-bc sprinkled road that stretched away while the tortuous between the bleak, denuded woods that lined It on either side. When the sheriff turned into the pri vate thoroughfare he began to review the directions that had been given him at the postofflce: "Follow (he lane and you’ll And a barn at the other end. Back of the barn there's another short wagon track leading down Into a hol low. In that hollow there Is a house, and In that bouse you’ll And Juan Nel son." He repeated those Instructions over and over again to the accompaniment of the clatter of the horse's hoofs against the clods of frozen earth and the creaking of the buggy which lunged In and out of the deep ruts and wheel tracks. The snow had been silt ing down lightly at Intervals through out the morning, but along toward noon the weather had moderated a lit tle and the low-hanging clouds gave promise of a heavy storm, which had lamy an in uy me lime me pii'im reached the barn. There were high bars Impeding hie progress at that end of the lane, and he grumbled fretfully when he got out Into the snow to let them down. He led bis horse through the barn yard to where the rattle were huddled dose together In an open shed and headed him Into a second lane that ran down to the hollow. It was only a short distance down the slope to the single house that stood In the depres sion of land end the sheriff did not get back Into the buggy. It was a little house that Juan Nelson lived In, half frame and half log. The weather boarding had fallen off In some places and where the mortar hud crumbled away there were chinks be tween the logs through which flukes of snow seemed to be Inslduously drift ing. When the sheriff first turned In to the scarce-defined roadway there was no person in sight around the lit tle cottage, but before he was half-way down the Incline a flock of bare-headed children, accompanied by three dogs, swarmed out from the hack of the house and stood watching him hushful ly. He spoke to the largest boy, who had advanced farthest to meet him, and that red-headed youngster took to his heels and ran toward the rear of the building whence he had just ap peared. There was no fence around the rude dwelling and the sheriff, following the boy’s lead, made his way into the back yard. Soon after leaving the ham fhe sound of an ax bad been heard, and when the officer came to a halt In the midst of the small regiment of chil dren he saw that It was a woman who was splitting wood. She was tall and gaunt and thinly clad. She ceased chopping when her visitor alighted and leaned against the handle of the ax, which rested firmly on the log. “Mrs. Nelson, I presume,” he said, advancing toward her. She pushed back her light, stringy //.Ill* HE IS INNOCENT. hair with one hand and looked at him keenly. • Yea, air." The sheriff'* glance wandered off to ward the surrounding hlll-topr, then back to the woman again. ''Is Mr. Nelson at home?” he asked. • Yes. sir." "May I see him?" A suspicious look had crept Into her small, blue eyes and her voice took on an extra degree of sharpuess as she answered, "I don't know. He ain't leelln' very well. Juan's been real sick for more'n a week. He'e pretty low to-day. Can't yon tell me what It Is you want?" "No," he said. "I hmet sec him per sonalty. It Is very Important.'' She dropped the ax then and brush ing the snow from her bared face wad head ahe stood cine# before him "Ulster," she said, "I believe I know who you are. Yours Ike sheriff, amt you?" He noddsd When he wee drat sleet ed to office six years before he bad been proud of hta title but that day Ita glory bad departed sad the honor II brvoight seemed empty and dead "You needs I tell me shat you've come fur.' she said la tones that wet* more si rider t I has before "The uslghburs told at* you would be her* Ulster, tkey'va lied to you My hue- j bond never stale anything II* * very - tick to day (to# i take uu sway this ] afternoon It II bill him if you do "It's my duty, madam, hs raid, ffrm !y I must see him. aayway If r**o resist I must go la by lore* " he added ] S* her pale far# Nuahed angrily " Very watt ‘ the replied, gutelly He bitched the horse lo ta apple tree sad followed her into the boo## The !

Juan Nelson sat shivering in one corner with both thin hands out stretched toward the embers. The wo man's sharp drawn face took on an ex pression of tenderness as she hurried toward him and laid her hand gently on his long black hair. “Father," she said, “here's a gentle man come to gee you.” A fit of coughing overtook the man and cut short the “howdydo” with which he began to greet the sheriff. The officer sat down near the window, where an old dress skirt did duty as a pane of glass, and looked at his pris oner. It was all so different from what he had expected it to lie. Juan Nelson had been described to him as a des perate thief, and he had been on the point of bringing two deputies with him. Having changed his mind In that particular he had expected to walk straight tip to the man, clap the mana cles on him and say: “Juan Nelson, you are my prisoner.” Hut, somehow, even that, part of the programme was changed. He felt. that, he would have to lead up to his errand easily. "Mr. Nelson," lie said, "I have had frequent communications from your neighbors recently. I am sorry that they bring grave charges against you. I, as the sheriff of Clarendon county, imu ii my uounuen uuiy 10 invesugiiTe. What have you to say for yourself?” Another fit of coughing shook the man's alight frame. ", "I will answer for him,1" said, the wu num. "He Is Innocent.” ”1 aiti afrafrt you will have a hard ■time pi'oy|ng that," said the sheriff. , "The case, as I understand It, Is this. I The farmers hereabouts have been stis ■ talning heavy losses of meat, flour and other provisions for the past three months. The thieves have been track ed, and on more than one occasion the footprints have led them to your house. What, do you say to that? If you are not guilty you are undoubtedly in col lusion with the ones who arc. Besides, it lake* a good deal of food for such a large family and three dogs. The gro cers slate that they have not sold you enough stuff this winter to keep soul and body together In one man. Vet you have eaten. Where did you get It?” The woman stepped forward between the sheriff and her husband. "Where did we got It?” she cried, passionately. “Ah, that's the question, or, rather, It would be the question If we had had anything. But we haven't, l/ook here,” and she pushed up her thin sleeve, “Do you see this shriveled muscle, dried up skin and large bone? Do you see bow emaciated and hollow eyed he Is? Do you see the rags of the children? Now, ask whore we got It? See here,” and she strode toward the cupboard and threw back the door. "Here’s a little cornmeal and a piece of pork. We had corn-meal yesterday. We've had It every day for a month. And we’ll have it again to-morrow. We get that for the work I do at the barn yonder. Somebody has been losing haras and chickens and bread and pre serves. Do we look as though we have been living on such fare? But it ain’t my fault that we haven’t,” she added, fiercely. “If It hadn't been for Juan I’d have done my best to get my share of the boodle. We've got the name; we might Just as well have the game. Juan Nelson Is Innocent, 1 Bay. Ix>ok at him," and her voice grew soft and tender once more. “Does he look like a man who would be able to walk six miles on a winter’s night, carrying the plunder they claim was stolen?” "But, the footsteps,” argued the sherlfT.” "Ah, the footsteps. I know nothing of them.” ♦The evidence that can be produced against you Is overwhelming,” said the officer. “I must make the arrest. If yutf'kre Innocent you will undoubtedly be able to prove It at the trial. Tell your lawyer-” "Our lawyer," interrupted the wo man, bitterly. "Lawyers arc apt to do so much for such people as we are!” The sherlfT clasped the handcuffs on Juan Nelson's thin, blue-veined wrists and wrapped round him an extra horse blanket he bad brought for that pur pose. They neared the door. The chil dren wept aloud and started toward their father, but the woman waved infiii uaui. iifi iipn iwiuriim, IJUl Hut1 was calm and rigid aud made no out cry. Juan stopped on the threshold and kissed her. “(lood-by. mother," he said, broken ly, "May Ood have mercy on ue all. If I ever get out-” He coughed again. That spell being ended the sheriff assisted him In walk ing across the yard and helped him get Into the buggy. The woman went slowly after them Once she made a movement as If to speak, but the words died awav unsaid. The buggy crept slowly away from the little house In the valley.
