Try it.” “It’s no use,” was tho roply. “I'm shot through the body. Run for it if you want to savo your neck.” JliB companion hesitated. It scorned too’ cowardly to leave a wounded corn- rude like this, even if remaining at his sido could afford him no help’. A hoarse rattle in the throat of tho wounded man decided him. “Well, then, good-by, old follow," he said, putting out his hand and touching the other’s arm at parting. “I’d stay if I could help you, if I hung for it,” ho added, still wavering betwoon n desire to be loyal to an. old companion iu crime aud a longing to seek personal safety. Tho only answer was a gurgling sound in the throat of tho dying man. He knew that bis companion’s life was ending, nnd he sprang ovor his body aud flod into theadarknoss. “I reekon I'vewconvinood ’em wo vwa’u't all away Mm hum," said ba- _ manthy, struggling lo her feat.' “I’ll bet I’ll bo black ’A’ blue to-morrer .from tho kickin’ o' that gun.

"What if I mot one of the horse-thieves?” “Then you stay hero, an' I'll go,” tail Hainan thy. “Lot’s both go,” said Nannie. “It wouldn’t do nay good for one of us to stay hero while tho othor was gone." To this plan Samauthy assented, aud they set oft’ on a run for the enmp- iiiieeting grounds. .“It cured my toothache, anyway,” said Snanmthy. “Ideclaim 't was lucky I had it, wa’n't it?

Jamanthy told all thero was to tell as fe-.v words os possible. ?*ivo minutes later the servioos of i evening were declared ended, 1 the ontiro congregation sot oft for .

I sha’n’t sleep a wink to night thinking of it.” “Neither shall I," said Nannie. “I haven’t got tho sound of that gum put of my ears yet. It doesn’t seem, to me as if I ever would. Come home' with me, Rhode. Yonr aunt will have plenty of company, and won’t ncod you. Do come, please!’ I can’t hear to think of staying alone, and you haven’t stayed with me in a long time.” Rhode obnsentod, and the party followed tho men from tho oamp- ground. It was a crowd of* storn-fncod men th it g ithered about the barn, a few minutes later. “Slio hit one, snro ouough," said the foremost settlor, as'ho paused at tho opou Htablo-door. “He’s hurt pur- ly had, or dead, I reckon,, jedgin’ from the blood.” “Lift him up,” said Wji-, Boone. “Mebbe he’s faintod." . v Two men stepped forvfavd' and at tempted to lift tlui lignre in the door-, ivny. “Ho ter parlially ra hors, there 's unnVnss horse-thief in the world,”’ he added, solemnly, yet not without a souml*pf satisfaction iu his voice. '• Thero was a momont of deep silenco iu the crowd, The presence of death kept down the demonstration of the oxottomont that every man felt. .lust then Wayne oanie up, in com pany with one oT tho ministers. “Wo hoard yoii had caught a liorso- thiof, and came to gratify a curiosity til son wliat one of tho animals looked like,” he said with a laugh. But Mr. Roone fancied that ho detected an un easy Hound in tile apeaker’s voice, and that tile laugh which accompanied tho words seomod forced and unnatural. “We have,” said Mr. Porter, hold ing his lantern so that tho light of it foil full upon tho dead man’s faoe. Wayne started bunk with a frightened exclamation. He stood for n moment and looked upon tho ghastly eight,then turned away with a shudder that he could not hide, .and walked toward tho houso. “Tho wrath of find s uites tho trans gressor,” said the minister, solomnly. “May Ho have money on this poor sin ner’s soul I Let us pray.” And kneeling hy tho dead, among an awe-struck oompany which stood with hared, bowod heads, tho good man prayed, ami tho sound of his voieo was all that hroko tho silence until “Amen!” was said. A luiHty consultation was held con cerning tile disposal to bo made of tho body. Beforo it was concluded, Mr. Boone came hurrying up with tho nows that his horses wero gone. “I toll you what it is, men,” said one of the sottlers, as lie listened to tho tidings, “of wo over git track o’ the thieves, we've got to do it now. Them with Boono’s horses can't hev more’n an hour's start of us, an’ it scorns ns of they must lin’ loft somo track behind. This”—pointing to tho body in the doorway—“’ll lie quite iikoly to put an end to their perform ances iu this neighborhood for a spoil, anyway, an’ wo don’t want 'em to git away if it's possible td Hud ’em. We've hunted for 'enl high 'n'low, an’hunted thnrror, but wo liain't got on to tho right trail fer some reason or anuther.

But we can try, any how; nil’ ef wo do find any signs of ’em, wo can foller 'em up of wo git right at it ail’ don’t waste no time. What say, neighbors?” A hearty murmur of assent went over the crowd. Lights were procured, nnd a close examination of the premises about Mr. Boone's barn began. “Here’s their tracks plain 'a day,” declared Bill Green, as eager for the pursuit of the horse-thieves now as lie had been an hour ago for pardon of his sins. “I feel’s ef we was goiu' to fetch ’em this lime. I do so!” An hour later there was unbroken quiet where, so short a time before, thero lmd been so much excitement. They were on tho trail of the horse- thieves at last.. Tho dead man’s body .had been placed in the barn to await burial on the morrow. It was twelve o’clock when the lights carried by the men who \vero on track of the horse-thieves faded into faint glimmers in the distance, and finally dwindled into so many sparks, mid then seemed to go out in the darkness of the night. In the kitchou at Mr. Porter’s, the women nnd ministers wero talking over the exciting events of the evening. Wayne had retired. Tho clock struck ono. “I declare,” exclaimed Mrs. Boone, “I’d no iitas ’b was so late! Gome, Mis’ Holdrodge, let's be goin’, or wo sha’n’t git any rest right to-night, an’ X feel clear beat out.” Mrs. Holdredge was n visitor from "ikvn below,” whom Mrs. Boone had invited home with her from camp-moet- iug. “Aro you ready, Nannie?” askod Mrs. Boone, as she and Mrs. Holdredge rose to go. “You can go on, mother, nnd Rlioda nnd I'll come right along," responded Nannie. “I want to boo Hmuantliy a minute.” Mrs. Boone nnd her friend took their departure, nnd Nannie nailed Hamanlhy into tho pantry for consultation. “Dick ought to know of what’s hap pened," said Nannie. “It may he that the knowledge of it wonld ho of great advantage to him. Hadn't I better write a few lines and put them, in the hollow tree? He'll find them to-mor row, if lie’s nlroady boon thero to- uight.” . . “I reckon't would bo a good idee," said Snmnnthy. Ho Nannie tore a blank loaf out of the front part of a hymn-book and hur- riodly wrote a few linqp, .explaining the condition of nffairjCQ “I’ll lenvo it there oh my way home,” slio said. “Good night, .-Samauthy. I’m glnil I didn’t shooiffluiPhinn, but I donlt think you did wrong. Nobody does." “Neither dn I,” said Hamnnthy. “But I do feel awfnl enri's over it somehow.

I’ll lie back in no time. Homo time I'll toll you nil about it.” "I’ll bo right book,” said Nannie, ns she hurried away. “Don’t, be afraid, Rlioda." “No-no," responded Rhode, feeling sure that she was afraid, in spito of her assurance to the contrary. She sat down on n lug behind a clump of bushes to nwnit Nannie’s re turn. Tho moon, wliioh had boen partially obseurod, oame out from behind a olouil, nnd tooking toward Mr. Por ter’s she saw that tho window in tho g.iblo of the houso was raised and a man was loaning out. As she saw this she hoeame con scious of a Hound which she vaguely remembered to have hoard before, Hinoe lonving Mr. Porter’s—the call of n night-bird. But as she listonod to it now tlioro scorned to bo something peculiar about it, which she had never noticed iu tho call before. It was givou throo times. Then the forest from which it came was silent again. Looking townrd Mr. 'Porter's slio saw that the mau who lind been look ing out of tho window, apparently lis tening, was now olimbiug out upon tho roof of the shed. “It must bo tlie singing-teacher,” she thought. “But what can he lie getting out of tho house iu that way for?" Tho man sho was watoliing dropped lightly to tho ground from the sliod- roof and oamo townrd tho road. Then he leaped tho foueo anil came directly toward the spot where she was hidden. “What shall I do?” thongl# Rhode, frightened half to death. “I don't dare run aud I don’t daro scream. Oh, if Nannie would only mime hack!” Being so badly frightened, she did nothing but shrink back closer into tho screening shadow of tho hush behind which she was sitting. Then she heard steps coming from tho opposite direction. Evidently Mr. Wnyne had como to moot some one, and his visitor was approaeliing. Tho two men met in tho sheltering shadow of tho old cottonwood, not fif teen feet away from where the fright ened girl was crouching, her heart heating such a tattoo agaiust her ribs that it seemed to her they must hear it. “Is that you, Number Five?” asked Wayne. “Yes, it's me,” was the reply. “It’s been a bai) night for us, captain.” “Yos, it has been a bad night for us,” responded Wayne. “Number Six has got through with his troubles.” “They got away all right with tho horses from the other place,” said tho man called Number Five. “They’re hot after us, hut I think wo’ll ho able to throw them off tho scant, nfter all. When do wo leave tho swamp, cap tain? It’s getting to be almost too hot for us iu this vicinity, and tho sooner we’re out of it the better I shall bo satisfied.” “I will join you to morrow night, and wo will leave at once,” replied Wayne. “See that everything is,in readiness for n start as soon as I ar rive. How many horses aro there iq all?” “Six,” was the reply. “That is, there will bo six it they succeed in running in those they got away to night. There’s the two from Deer Creek, the two from the cross-roads and to-niglit’ii haul. ” [To be continued. ] Building Superintendent Constable ill his recent report says that 314-1 new buildings were erected last yea: in Now York City at- a:i aggregate cast of ;?7o,781,'.)15.

It is learned that Agoncill', the representative of Aguiualdo, the Phil ippine leader, has lodged a strongly worded protest with the commission, which thus becomes part of the re cords. It begins with saying that “The very noble nnd gallant General Aguinaldo, president of the Philip pine republic,” bad honored him with “the post of official representn- ery honorable president United States.” then reviews the case at saying that at the time of the armed co-operation of Aguinaldo nnd other Philippine chiefs,” both the commander of the Petrel, Captain Wood, in Hong Kong, before tho declaration of war, and tho American consuls geuora’, Pratt, in Singapore, Wildman, nt Hong Kong, nnd Williams at" Cavite, acting as the international agents of (he great Ameri can lintion, nt a moment of great anxioty, offered to recognize tho inde pendence of tho Filipino nation. SpaiilurilH Delay Hat mention. A semi-official note issued at Madrid Thursday says: “As tho American sennto must rati fy the treaty of pea'eo before it be comes effective, our government should wait for this ratification and not has ten to code territory which the United States may not accept.” Opposition MulalillnK. A Washington special says: It looks now ns if tho opposition to the ratifi cation of the pence treaty which was expected in the senate will evaporate before tho matter comes up for dis cussion. That it will be made the subject of considerable discussion bear ing on the question of territorial ex pansion is a foregone conclusion, but -it is nlmost a certainty that no attempt of any force will be made to defeat tho treaty. It is possible that there may be no vote against ratification, the under standing being the settlement of the question of expansion will- not be in volved in the treaty. This situation is likely to tie brought about by many considerations, but chiefly by the fnot that Mr. Bryan ailvisos his friends against making a fight on the treaty. The fact that in the south a celebra tion of tho signing of the treaty is be ing held, which is being made the oc casion of the loftiest patriotism; also contributes greatly to th^^jtfiii^ of the opposition to the trd^^pRlAop- position in tho senate cHpfly from supporters of Mr. "Bryan, largely southern men. A canvass of the senate disoloses that up to a few days ago there was nearly or quite a two-thirds vote in favor of the ratifi cation and that the opposition out of the republicans wns confined to prob- nbly not moro than three men. The most determined opponents were meu who were closest to Mr. Bryan of nil in congress. It is under stood that the presentation of the case in favr.r of ratification mado by Mr. Bryan, who nt the same time urges ngninst expansion, together with the demonstration ol joy in the south over tlie signing of tho treaty, has made an impression upon this opposition. The chances now seem tp he that tho fire against expansion will be postponed until nfter tho treaty lias been ratified. It will come up when legislation lot the government of tho islands is pro posed, and that will not he before next congress. Meanwhile tho opposition is likely to bo confined chiefly to de- bato. Both parties are at this time to.somo extent divided on the question of ex pansion, but it is generally regarded as certain that the Republicans al most to a man will support whatever policy is finally adopted by the admin istration.

A PECULIAR WRECK. frwlflly Running Train Bump* Over Croat- tini on a lllgli Trestle. A wreck occurred ou the Indiana, Decatur nnd Western railroad Sunday morning, fifty miles west of Indiau- apolis, near Guion station. The In diannpoiis express, east bound, left the tracks west of a high trestle, and passed over the trestle, which is sixty feet long, with seven coaches off the rails anil humping along the ties. The trestle is fifty feet high and it is considered plienomennl that the train was not hurled off into the oreek, iu which.event the slaughter of life would have been awful. The rear car bud just left the trestle when a spreading of the rails abend of the baggage car piled the seven carB into a heap. The baggage car and smoker were ground nlmost into splinters and all of the cars were badly wrecked. Thero were about fifty pnssengers on the train.
