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 y.cpklyj;t t post,” . , The ducumgsroonyTOSfißM la 4 ” Domesday Book as “cathedral sler ooris.”—Notes nnd Queries.
