Farmer falnes , swingIng In at the
kitchen door , standing an old shot gun
behind the stove and scowling fiercelY
as he toole his accustomed scat at

"Why , father , what have ) 'OU done ? "
'rho girl's hand went up a.s Ir she felt

not unmixed with fear. "If 'ou have

"Dora Haines ! " he gasped , "you lool !

thought I heard- "
"Ask father-ho lcnows , " fallereo
Dora , brealdng from the affectionate
grasp ot the Re\'erend Giles FaxeD
and flying duwn the pathway leadlD ! :
to the road.
" " "hat-what's happened ? " aslced
the parson , seating himself and gaz ,
ing with Impatient curiosity at the
stalwart Haines , as ho proceeded te
transfer his dinner from the stove te
the table. "What-what's Dora EO put
out about ? I thought I heard- "
.
; "You heard 11othlng , " declared the
farmer , pausing to leyel a warning
finger at the preacher , " < 10 'ou under.

"But I cortalnly- "
. . Haines in one strldo was at the
other's elbow. His great fist was
'withln an Inch of the re\'erend nose.
"You shut up and let mo talle , " he
hissed. "That Barker follow has becn
. snooping around hero again contrary
to my orders. Ho's after my Dora ,
and she-t1w nhll1loves him. Hear
that ? Loves him ! "
"But Barlter's a forger-I thought
bo llad left the country. "
"Will ) 'OU bo quiet ? Dora woulll
have run away with him If 1 landn't

that the next time ho came arolllU ]
, I'd put shot into him , and I gUO'3S

"Oh , I trust 'ou haven't- "
"Never you mind. You've heard

"Was Dora going to him when I
came in ? "
"Go and see , tor all I care-but re-
, momber-you heard no shooting. "
The Reverend Giles Faxon , in any.
thing but a happy frame of mind , leU
the house. Several farm hands wore

them as to Barker and the shooting
hut ho remembered lIalnes' warnln ! ;
ant ! let them pass unquestioned.
"Perhaps ho Is ] ) 'Ing wounded < 1owr

Less than hall an hour had eapSOI

slnco Faxon , on his wa ) ' afoot from
I his school to dine with Haines and his
I daughter , had heard high words from
I a clump of trees near the creele by the
roadside-words , followed by the report -
port of a gun. Ho had dIstinguished
i the voices but. bolng of a timid na.
, I ture , had hastened hIs steps toward
the farm house , not pausing to inquire -
quire into the cause or effect ot the
strange occurrence.
Anlvlng at a little brldgo that span.

trembllngly plunged Into the under-
hrush , calling : "Dora ! Dora ! Where

Ii i I clergrman floundered around for several -
oral minutes without observing any
I sign of a scume. SUddenly he heard
I a voice and , guided by the sound ,
soon came upon Dora Haines ImeeUng
, beside the prostrate form of a man.
Dora appeared not to notlco Faxon
who , as soon as his eres fell upon his
rival's face against the girl's heart ,
cried out :
"How cun 'ou , Dora ? He Is n felon
-he who fored old man Colton's
name-tho man whose arrest Is worth
five hundred dollars. "
Dora turned upon him with scorn
in her beautiful e 'es. "lIo Is Innocent -
cent ! " she crIed. Barlter stirred and
the farmer's daughter again gave him
her altention , calling him by endearing
I names-names the neverend Faxon
had never before heard from hIJr
I lips , A sigh escaped Dora's lover and
sUddenly ho sat up , looldng longingly
Into the girl's e 'es and then letting
his gaze wander to the surprised
countenance ot the parson. "Dor3
Imows I'm Innocent , ' he said , and
then something liltO a smUe brightened -
ed his handsome Ceaturcs-a smllo or
triumph. l axon made a move as It

to with raw.

was strength In his vol co. "Stay- !
and Barker's hand was raised. In It
ho held a shlnln ; revolver. "Dorn's
