But in the mean while the long-limbed
animal, which had been -omewhat n-t-ive,
and required the two hand-of his

play and accelerated lu- speed. Mr.
Morton had not time to put the ring

found his horse pulling heavily upon the
reins. He determined to -ell tin- need-

and Kitty clung to Mr. Morton. The
widow Pieiison looked after them with
clasped hands and straining exe. while
black sain, now almost w lute w ith w hite
vviish and terror, held his hni-h aloft in
a mute appeal for Divine help in this
dire extremity.
Mr. Morton knew now that nothing
could save them. A few minute. four
at the furthest and all would be over.
The gully just below the t'onistock farm
was a bleak and dreary place, well fitted
for the tragedy. He remembered a
ihe-tnut tree that hung desolate and
bare over its brink, and broken rocks
ami black tools of stagnant water lay
below. Here would ids strong bones
splinter, and the deft and cunning
mechanism at his sjde be ruddy rent
and distorted. In these few seconds,
that seemed a parenthesis between time
and eternity, a whole lifetime passed in
t egret and retrospection. To get rid of
the reproachful eye- of Madeline. Mr.
Morton shut his own; but Kitty's whole
heart went out ina prayer to Joe

and it was difficult for him to
quite under-tand the exact tenor of the
scene before him. Kitty lay white and
