HOW SHE SA VED HIM.]
- -
Sooner or later the trouble was
bound to come. For weeks, evoti
months, tho fire had been smolder
ing, ready at the slightest draft
to burst into open flame. Of this the
Girl was aware, for she commanded?
the sources of information closed tc
those who dwell behind the lattice
of respectability, and slip made ii;
bor busjess to know everything {
•HflflTconcernc’l Maxwell. The rein..l
lions two were strictlyj
honest, albeit none gave timin' crGl-a
it for that, not oven Maxwell’s wife,]
whoso worse fault was a deep root-j
ed jealousy of lier husband.
tivo denial might have enrriod con 1
viction to tho camp, for the Girl fine*
never been known to lio, hut - sbC
was proud and reticent, and.of til®
lawless court over which -she reigiM
ed none dared question her, except*
Hater on, Jim Brady, and he, loam*:
Big tho truth from her own
iWved, hut, that was not until evornp
h\d already precipitated ilie.orisl^B
Rad management and a system <..>
shaVieloss peculation had brougjjjSl
riffafysatthe San Sacrada mine witim
in ih<Visurablo distance of ruin. TffiH
new manager found himself cda|
fronted with tho task of clonß&ffiß
an Augean stable, a prot
wholly devoid of risk, but diaiTOOt’iP
Hang, runs in an isolated omnflAßj
ty where the grip of the law
certain and every man carries|M[
six shooter handy. Blit there, i|i|
ever else where, was a
side ut order and fair piny.
Maxwell relied on the h
nority to back him up and lifiMp
authority and nerve to do tbeJKpf
over was the prompt niukvi^orduA
ejection of the agent. Bew6ntab<jttt
unarmed, and the damp knew it and.
respected his pluck. Nevertheless
the situation was fraught willi peril,
for tho malcontents handed them,
selves together and held meetings,
with elaborate precautions as to se
crecy, which made occasion for
much tall talk, attended by no in
considerable consumption ofwbisky.
Asr the liquor circulated the senti
ments waxed increasingly inoendi
ary, and dark hints were dropped
to the effect that people who would
not. listen to reason might find them
selves, some fine night, fitted to a
“wooden jacket” free oL obarge.
The raw material of mutiny was
ready at hand, needing only time
and tho roan to work it up into the
finished product—murder..
All unwittingly the Girl supplied
both, for Brady, mad with .jealousy
and hungering for the word which
lie was too proud to ask and she' to
give, went out to the cave of Adul
lam and swore with many straDge
oaths to obey the commands of the
brotherhood, oven to tbo breaking
of the older command, whioh is em
bodied in the sixth clause of tho Deo*
alogno.-
The lot was cast and fell, as might
have been expected, on the new
member, with Silas Field as under*
study in oase of accidents, which
precaution seemed unnecessary, see
ing that Brady could snuff a Canute
at 60 yards and knook the pin out of
an ace at half that distance. Had
the man been a common ruffian to
firo on an unarmed victim, Max
well’s life had paid forfeit for his
honesty, hut the digger bad in bia
veins good Irish blood, albeit pud
dled through two or threo genera
tions of mongrel stock, and he sent
bis challenge like a gentleman,
though, for obvious reasons, it was
anonymous. Maxwell laid the docu
ment before the Girl, for it was
through her that lie felt the pul so of
tho camp. He laughed as bo did so,
tracing with bis forefinger the rude
outline of a coffin, which did duty ns
a crest at the top of the paper; but
there was no answering smile on
her lips, for she had recognized tbo
band writing and know instinctively
that this was not an idlo threat. She
was no alarmist, bnt sbe implored
bim to carry a revolver, and chafed
when Maxwell refused point blank
to do so.
“If I’m potted from the rear,” bo
said, “I’d' have no time to use it,
and so far events have proved that
I’m safer without. Why should I
change my habits in obedience to an
anonymous threat? I’m not going
to be bullyragged by a set of thieves.
It isn’t tbo flrst time they’ve tried
pe game either; I’ve bad warnings
notliko this.”
J She was studying the soiled, ernm
fled missivo, trying to vend between
ill spelled lindfi. . *
! “Did sbe—your wife—see this?”
jp.Ho hesitated, for sho had never
libtbcnn named between them, hut
mm* for open speech was strong
him,-and after n pause lie an-
KHpP her as he would have an
Jtecrcd another woman.
So; welisa!a 1 it of a sconeahom
It too. Hoe tool: it into her head that,
ft■■’was—an assignation. I let her
Shink so/ It was heller than break
pig her heart with tho truth, though
| hate a row; it makes things so
Pptfßiieu uncomfortable.”
L Bv.this sho understood that his
Baugh hatl .ont Leon genuine.
I%!“Then yo" know’’— she said slow
[ty; ; .
/jj'Dli, yes, I know.” ' y'
‘*And yet. yoq will Into no precau
tions?" ■ '
' H*o tfliook his head with a smile.
“Not though I tell you that this
moans death?”
“I can’t help that; I won’t ho dic
tated to,”
Quite suddenly slie caught liis
hand and kissed it.
“If JOU had been free—if you hud
cared, I—but what use is there
in s.r/mg it? I shall save you, and
then—tiici’ I will never soo you
He tried to reason with her, hut
she pushed him fioroely-wy.
“Go!”shecriedpassionately. '“Do
you bear me? Go away, go now, at
ir Boroly puzzled, he obeyed, and, ns
fpo door closed behind him, she fell
to bitter woe] ling. Thus she buried
the first pure love she had ever
know ft, mid on its grave prepared to
sacrifice that which was dearer to her
lawless nature'than life itself—her
-liberty. An hour later Brady came
tbo street, aiuLtho Girl wont out
to meet him. Do fried to pass, but
she laid her hand upon his arm
“Como iu,” said; “I want a
I jlu liniiFfl, llicy Yvoro mono incro;
P?4jo had taken care of that. Sbo
stood up facing him, and her eyes
never left bia for a moment.
“Ob, you fool,” sho said; “you
fool! What good could oomo of it?
If I loved the roan, should I be so
ready to take you when your hands
wore wot with his blooJ? And Ido
not love him. ■ Thero has boon no
word of love between us, no word
of aught hut bonost friendship, such
as tboso hogs-you have como from
know nothing of. I would have told
yon that long since, if .you had dared
'to ask me. I tell you now, of my
own free will, ahd when have I over
lied?”
_; Sbe threw back lior bond with a
superb gesture of defiance.
“Btit I tell you this, too—my life
answors for his. Touch ono liair of
hia liOad and I pay tho forfeit with
my own hnlid. I ewonr it, before
God, nnd you know that I shall keep
ray word."
Ho strode a stop nearer, and
caught her by tho wrist.
"You love him!” he said hoarsely.
“You must, or you wouldn’t oaro.”
Slio looked 'Rim straight in the
eyes and liod unflinchingly, as is
tho way of a woman who, habitual
ly truthful, |s driven to falsehood
for flirt compassing of greatiind un
selfish ends.
"I do not love him, but I love
you, and I will not have you a com
mon murderer. A murderer you
would Jim Brady, for what
wrong has the man ever done you?
It is in your hands. Save him and I
am yours, body and soul, to go
whore you go, follow you, live for
you, die for you, if need lie."
~Sbe crept closer and held him, her
faco level with his, for slio was tall
and built on lines a goddess had not
disdained.
“All that,” she whispered, “for
as both, or, for me, your gift. You
taught mo bow to use it. You
know if your pupil did credit to her
master. It will be easier than a card
at 25 paces, just to rest the muzzle
here.”
She raised her finger significantly
to her temple. He broke away with
a groan and fell into a chair beside
the table, biding bis face on his
folded am 9. Sho waited a moment
and then knelt down, twining her
arms abort him, letting her head
rest against his shoulder.
“My life.” she murmured, “your
love, our happiness. Surely it is
worth the price of innocent blood.”
He took ber roughly by the shoul
ders. <
“There has been nothing between
yon—you swear it?”
“Nothing but honest friendship.
I swe.ir it, so help mo God!”
There was silence, for he know
she wstt'rpocjriug lie truth and the
I knowledge hi 1 come too late. As
tl grip her siior lders loosened
she leaned forward clotVr.
“You will’save him—anc me?”
“I can’t. • have saorn te> do it
•if I hacked < at ifow, thej' —I”
lie wiped ti e sseat off his fore
head with the hack of hand. Jlis
eyes were glazeil with passion and
vrido with a grea t fenr., M:o dre\V
his lace down to hors and kissed
him in the mouth*
“Tell rae? ’ she gently whispered
‘•wheu?”
The man was mad, and she’knew
it ue elm knew her own power over
him. Ho had triken tho oath of se
crecy, hut he told her everything.
The a annver’s wife stood in tbo
doorway of little house among |
the pine trsce. Her eyes were tjirn- j
od away from the track up toward !
tho hills, hut her thoughts wore far
away in tho English homo she had
left to face an unknown world be
yond tbo seas. Sho had cheerfully
turned her hack on tho old luxuri
rns life, because then she did not
know tho meaning of the pliraso
“roughing it,” and to her it hud
seemed that any life must ho beau
tiful if shared with tho man she
loved. Sometimes olio wondered
whether, after all, she hud not made
a great mistake.
Sh# wondered now, for lior heart
was heavy with dounts. Sho could
not forget tho incident of the lotter,
and each time she thought <.f it her
anger blazed up afreth, for jealousy
is a master passion,, and hlio be
lieved, hnd tho Girl been there, she
could Rave crushed lur. Yet, when
a shadow’fell nejpnss the threshold
and tho two women stood fuco to
face, it was the wife who started
and recoiled. Tho start \vns a tribute
to tho other’s marvelous beauty, for
they had never met before. Tho re
coil was involuntary and Jnstinotivo.
It stung tho Girl liko tho stroke of
whip, hut it gave her also hor op
portunity.
Sho tipoko n dozen rapid words, and
the English woman uttered a little
cry.
“Is it—-truo?”
* Uod’H truth, and there is
only fiftlf an hour. If you waut to
k^abanfl— and Sirfoyour*,’
all yours—wo mu at* Btrv e'htnr to
gethor. Neither you nor I can do it
alone. Are you ready?”
“I am ready—yes—my hatj”
v She ran into the house. '/Through'
tho open doo£ the Girl saw lfor
snatch the ohifuHrom among its
playthings on tho floor and press it
passionately to her bosom. A light
loiipod into her cvch.
“The child I” she cried. “Bring
tho child! They are fond of hor, por
lmps”—
They set out. tho mother carrying
the baby, but beforo they lmd cov
erod ICO yards sho stopped.
“Will you take lur?” she said.
“Sho is heavy—rfvo should—get on
faster.”
Tboir eyes met, nnd tho Girl un
derstood. tho lilted tho littlo ono
almost reverently When Maxwell
oamo out of tho office, lie found
them together. A hot color flamed
in his bronzed check, but tho Girl’s
• cs, .meeting hia, were eloquent,
and, though his lips polled, ho said
nothing. Tho twv women walked
on either side, end no ono spoke. A
few yards from tho water ditch they
passed a null.
It was Brady. ITeifher Maxwell
nor his wif i appeared to notice his
presence, hut tho Girl looked him
straight in the face. A moment later
a bullet whistled past the manager's
head. lie felt the swill, bent of tho
cleft r.ir against his check, and, for
ihe Kpnco of- half a second, ho fal
tered; thru he set his teeth ami
went on without so much as a back
ward glance. Tho women were keep
ing stop, nnd neither changed feet,
though tho wife's breath was drawn
in gasps and her face was white ns
marble. Only tho child, startled by
tho sudden report, hid hor head on
the Girl’s shoulder, and the Girl
looked abend to where Silas Field
stood waiting. With a sudden movo
mont she thrust tho child into Max
well’s arms.
“Toko her quick,” she said, and
hor voice shook ever so lightly,
“She’s frightened, and I’m tired.”
Tho baby clung around her fa
ther’s neck, pressing her rosy faco
against liis cheek. Her hat had fall
en hack, and her fair lirtir, caught
by the wind, was blown across Max
well's eyes, a golden veil, through
the meshes of which he saw the sud
den glint of sunlight on steel. And
tlioy. wero level with the emissary
,of vengeance, but erven as they pass
ed tho Girl, falling a step behind,
covered the manager’s body with
her own. for they wero so near a
height that aim at ono had meant
short shrift for both. The instruc
tions of tho brotherhood had not
piovidcd for such a contingency.
Field's nerve forsook him, and his
bead drooped with tin oath. Tho
three stood at ike doin' of tho littlo
house among the pine trees. ..It was
8V irsrßii ti t
line Polltr l‘r Tr.
the Girl who spolio first.
“I must go hack,” sbe said;
“there is still something to be done. ”
Her eyes sought those of the man- ,
nger’s wife. Thero were in that look
both prido and humility, a question
and a prayer. For answer tho wife
kissed her, weeping. Then, beforo
they had realized what had happen
ed, alio was gone. To Maxwell sho
said nothing, not even goodby. At
dawn tliQ; camp was roused by the
clatter of horses’ hoofs. The deputy
sheriff, none knew how, lind get
wind of trouble nt tho mine an<J had
ridden "bell for leather” to tho
manager’s aid, for tho two were
chums of long standing and hi id
done great things ut the wickets in
old days for tliu honor of IJr.rro w
school. But before this Brady and
the Girl had Bed. Her word was her
bond; sho saved Maxwell, and sbe
never saw him again.—Chap-Book.
In the Docking Stool.
The following I clip from “Neild’s
Dairy,” written in 1806:
“In the Bridewell, at Liverpool, I
saw a ducking stool complete, tho
first I had over seon. We had two nt
Knutsford, ono in a pond near the
Higher Town and another in a pond
near tho Lower Town, where tho
schoolboys were accustomed to
bathe. In these scolding and brawl
ing women were ducked, hut the
standard in each wns all flint re
mained in my memory. I never re
membered them used. But this ni
Liverpool enables me to describe it.
A long polo was fixed to a Btondifrd,
nt tho extremity of whioh was fas.
toned a chair. On this the woujnn
was placed nnd soused throo • times
underwater till almost BuiTqeated.
At Liverpool the standard \yts-fixod
in tho court and a bath made on
purpose for (lucking, but why-in a
prison this wan tog and dangerous
severity was exercised on wotijbn
and not on men i could nowhere
learn. This mode of punishment
seems formerly to hOjve been jzener
til, for it is in tho memory of per
(tons now living when u machine of
this kind was in tho. Green park.
This, however, was not the only
cruel*punishment used at the Bride,
wall, for tho women were flogged
