The court room was crowded. I
ceo tutu yet in his iair young man
hood Btnndiii ! ! up before thu jury , n
look of calm dolcriiiinatiou un liifi
linnilsomo face. The judge said- -
" .lulius Hurt mail , it is iny duty to
notify yon that the piinibhmonl for
murder bus bucn aiiieliorntod .since
the act with which you me charged
was committed. Then it waa death
by hanging ; now it may ho imprison
ment for life. You have your choice
under which law you will bo tried ,
What any you ? "
There was no tremor of tlie blood
less lips and calm WIIH his reply.
"Lot me tried by thu law in force
when tlio dcetl was done. "
He had chosen thu severer punish
ment. We all knew what it meant.
lie preferred death to u life of dis
honor.
Julius Ilartiniin was a young Vir
ginian who had only been in the atate
for a few years. Ho waw about
twenty-five , of medium heiyht , fair
complexion , with light hair and brown
eyes , a fine type of Virginian man
hood
A short time before this .John Har
ris , a farmer , had boon foully shot
while bleeping beside his young wifu ,
a bride of only a few months. Hartman -
man wan dcrk in u country store not
fur from Harris' farm. I5oth of them
hud paid court to Nova Brown , and
both men loved her with idolatry.
Xeva was dark , young and beautiful ,
and only sixteen when she married
Harris.
It waa a beautiful Summer evening ,
a year before the time 1 have just re
furred lo , that Juliua and Nova stood
on ii rustic hridgo eroKMiiy a small
stream that ran by the store. They
v-ro talking of love , you may bo sure ;
shu with down-cast oyua tapping Ian-
jrtiidly the rough roof-board , and ho
leaning toward her , hin hand on the
railing behind her , and looking in her
face with wistful uycn. What were
they saying ? I do not know. Tlie
sun was setting in the west , and thn
golden glory of his departing rays full
like a halo upon the fuir KUCIIO. They
lingered still , until tlio ahudows gath
ered about them. His arm gradually
stole about her. She turned her face
for thu firat lime to his , and the ( 'Wy
of thu Buiifieb was nothing to the glory
of love in her eyes ; then she laid her
head on his shoulder , with a cooing
little carosfl as sweet aa the billing of
birds.
"TooToo Too-ha ! " in omnioim
sounds came from nn owl in the leafy
branches of ii tree just over * their
head.
They both started in niipriuu at iln
being BO late. Just a they stopped
oil' tlio bridgu the owl llotv out with a
wild , weird fchricL' , and Hipping hm
sombre wings close over their heads
sailed into thu dark forest below.
Nova trembled. There WIIH some
thing weird in thu scone and the oc
currence. But Julius reassured her ,
and homo they went ,
Another scene , a few months later ;
this timu , standing at the gate of her
father'a house. The evening waH
threatening , nnd dark clouds , sur
charged witli lightning , hung around
the hori/.on on every oidu ; and again ,
ii. the woods hack of thu linld , cam
thu wild Havngejcroani of Ihu owl.
There were cloud'J , too , upi.n the
brows of both Juliim and Nova. They
had quarrelled a foolish lovers

IU\t \ she never mot .luhwt Ilatt-

the olil tunes again. Ono ovtMiinit
her husband hud k-uti unusually un
kind to her , and oho \vandend oil' to
the liMlo foot hridi/u where .lulins and
who hud Alighted their troth. Konio
Biniiauh btishoH hid her from the vie
of thu store , and shu etaycil until the
mincet , and raw .Inlitis ride away
Cnn we toll what the look in her eyes
was ? So end nnd loving and miser
able ! "It might , have been , " but
"Lost , lost , lost ! "
She turned and looked down into
the babbling stream below , and a
ciystal tear-drop fell from her cyoc
and mingled with the Bnatkliii'j : wa
ter. It was perhaps the last tear
Nova Harris over nlied.
And what of .Inline ? Taring his
way to a Hid , sad doom. "When ho
heard of Nova'd marriairo ho remarked
that "John Harris nhonld ntvur Imxu
hrr. "
The nngol of destiny added a inuiut
to the ladder which you worn descend
ing when you aaid that , Julius Hartman -
man !
A few dayo nftorwnrd ho met Harris
and struck him. Ana another lounU
\vns added to the ladder.
His whole natnro changed. Hu
had loved Nova , ho had trusted all
his hopes in lifo ( n her. And ho bu-
liovod now that oho had never loved
him. Nay , inoro ; ho loved h ° r still ,
and the maddening thought each mo
ment dwelt on his mind that another
man hohl her in hi anns and claimed
her for his own. No wonder ho nnulu
utr.\n o and peculiar rcmarkH about
1 er huilmnd ; no wonder ho was oftoii
heard to wiah that H. rris wnH dead.
And all the time the nugol of
du tiny was adding roniulH to the
ladder , and Julius waa following
down , uncoii.sL'ious of the pit bolow.
Ono day it ( lashed over the country
like wild-fire that John Harris waa
murdered ; shot , in bud , with his wife
beside him. Who did it ?
Puoplu remembered the old rivalry ,
they remembered the threats and
cruel wishes , they tracked a horao
from the fence where the murderer
stood to Julius Hartman's store.
Julius had reached the last round
of bis ladder , and destiny left him at
the bottom of the pit , Hullbcating in
the ( lump tir.
Thn court was in session ; Iho jury
was empannelled and nworn ; Julinn
WAR arraigned , had entered the plea ,
and taken death for the penalty if ho
were convicted. The ntato's counsel
had introduced all the circumstantial
evidence above mentioned , when the
widowed Nava Harris waa put in the
witness box ,
Uartmiui , Imviuc been in prison for
seine time , was emaciated and p.ilo.
Ilia face flushed , nnd his eyea ex
pressed surprise when Nova came for
ward. And well ho might bo.sur-
prised.
She told that the night her husband
was killed she heard some one call at
the fence , and sat up in bed. They
were nleeping on the gallery. She
saw Jnlitm 11 art man Hitting on hii
horeo , with a Hhot-gnn in his hand ,
which ho discharged into the sleeping
body of her husband , and then turned
and fled in the direction of hm More.
A murmur of indignation ran
through the crowd. Public opinion
wan loth to believe Julius guilty upon
meru circumstantial evidence ; hut this
clinched it. Julius Hartman was a
cold-blooded murderer. No wonder
his face turned palo and red alternate
ly , and that ho stared in ghautly horror
ror at Nova , the Neva ho had loved HO
well !
No nocd to fret , Julius ! You are
stilling in thu pit !
The State had closed. Jnlitm and
hift counsel retired to consult about
the defence. They had about con
cluded they could do nothing , when a
man uteppeil into the consult imj room
a man wearing a broad 'sombrero ,
with hm pants tucked into his boots ,
and a white Khirt and blue blouse , n
handkerchief lied around his neck ,
HindrcsB , taken in connection with
his browned , bold , but handnoino and
diiuhing face , indicated him to bo one
of tlio.rj peculiar character * dubbed
"cow boyHj" a cla n among whom are
to bo found many vicious and danger
ous men. As he entered ho approach
ed Julius , and ankod pormihsion to
speak to him privately Ho tonic him
to ono side , and they hold a hurried
consultation , and then both unmo
luck to where the attorney wan stand
ing. Tim expression on Juliim' face
indicated something important , Home-
thing hopeful.
Thu Granger had told Julius thut
he knew the man who killed Harris ,
and that Mrs , Harris wan privy to Ilia
murder.
The attorney expressed himself IIH
very much pleaued and insisted on
going immediately ; hut the ntianger
interrupted
"Sen lioro , piril ; not so fasl. 7
want to know how 1 am going to come
out of this thing. I don't want ter
BOO a fellow who is innocent swung up ;
but I ain't u-gwino to put my neck in
thu halter to save him. "
"You needn't do Ihut , " responded
the attorney , who began to Hiispect
thu truth ; "if you nru thu mnn that
did the shooting , you can turn statu'it
evidence and Have Hartman and yuir-
nelf too , and lot thu guilty liinmy bo
hung herself. "
"Stop ! " Julius had been quietly
