He was none too soon, for Pete { Jones and Hank Banta were soon looking | all around the spring for him, while he { held a twenty-paund stone over their { heads ready to drop upon them in case they should think of looking on the ledge above. When the crowd were gone Ralph knew that one road was open to him. He could follow down the creek to Clifty, and thence he might escape. But, traveling down to Clifty, he debated whether it was best to escape. To flee was to confess his guilt, to make himself an outlaw, to put an in- surmountable barrier between himself and | Hannah, whose terror-stricken and anxious { haunted him now, and was an involun- | tary witness to her love.

Ralph re- It was not wise to re- ject counsel, but all his blood was up,and he declared that he would not be cleared by legal quibbles. If his innocence were not made ovident to everybody, he would rather not be acquitted on a preliminary examination. He would go over to the circuit court and have the matter sifted te the bottom. But "he would have been leased had his uncle offered him coun- 2 though he would have declined it.-- He would have felt better to have had a letter from home soméwhat different from the one he received from his Aunt Ma- tilda by the hand of the prosecuting at- torney.

But | Clifty was better than Flat Creek, and Squire Hawkins, with all his faults, loved | justice, and had a profound respect' for the majesty of the law, and a profound respect for his own majesty when sitting as a court representing the law, What ever maneuvers he might resort to in business affairs in order to avoid a conflict with his lawless neighbors, he was cour- ageous end inflexible on the bench. The Squire was the better part of him. With the co-operation of the table, he had organized a posse of men who could = be depended on to enforeo the law against o mob. By the time the trial opened in the large school-house in Clifty at eleven emptied its population into Olifty, and all Flat Creek was on hand ready to testify to something. 'Those who know the least appeared to know the most, | ost, land were prodigal of theirsignificant winks and nods. Mrs, Means had always suspected him.-- She seed some mighty suspicious things about him from the word go. She'd allers had her doubts whether he was jist the thing, and ef her ole man had axed her, liker-n nothe never'd a been hi She'd seed things with her own livin' eyes that beat all she ever seed in all her born days. , And Pete Jones said hé'd allers knowed ther warn't no good in sech a feller.-- Couldn't stay abed when he got there.

To his professional cyes this was not a | question of right and wrong, not a ques- tion of life or death to such a man as Ralph. It was George H. Bronson's op- portunity to distinguish himself. And so, with many knowing and confident nods and hints, and with much deference to the two squires, he opened the case, affecting great indignation at Ralph's wickedness, and uttering Delphic hints about striped pants and shaven head, and the grating of prison-doors at Jeffersonville. '" And, now, if the court please, I am about to call a witness whose testimony is very important indeed. Mrs. Sarah Means will please step forward and be sworn." This Mrs. Means did with alacrity. She had met the prt tor, and imp d him with her dark hints. She wassworn. "" Now, Mrs. Means, have the goodness to tell us what you know of the robbery at thé house of Peter Schroeder, and: the part defendant had in it." '" Well, you see, I allers suspected that " Here Squire Underwood stopped hor, | * Well, it's facts T am a-going to tell." iad indirnantly. "It's facts AL | wa or 10 Hus, * Well, fer ome thing, what kod of gals did he go with? Hey?

Here Bronson saw that he had caught a tartar. He said he had no more questions to ask of Mrs. Means, and that, unlezs the defendant wished to cross-question her, she could stand aside. Ralph said he would like to ask her one question. "Did I ever go with your daughter Miranda?" | "No, you didn't," answered the wit- ness, with a tone and a toss of the head that let the cat out, and set the court/room ina giggle. Bronson saw that he was gaining nothing, and now resolved to fol- low the line which Small had indicated. Pete Jones was called, and swore point- blank that he heard Ralph go out of the house soon after he went to bed, and that he heard him return at two in the morn- ing. This testimony was given without hesitation, and made a. great impression agpinst Ralph in the minds of the justices. Mrs, Jones, a poor, brow-beaten woman, came on the stand in a frightened way, and swore to the same lies as hor husband, Ralph cross-questioned her, but her part had been well Joarned. There secmed now little hope for Ralph. Bat just at this moment who should stride into the school-house but Pearson, the one-legged, old soldier basket-maker? He had cropt home the night before, "to see of the ole woman didn't want some- thin'," and hearing of Ralph's arrest, he concluded that the time for him to make '* a forrard movement" had come, and so! he determined to face the foe. } 1 from the ** Looky here, Squar," he said, the perspiration from his brow, .

Had he ever paid her any attention after- ward! No. Ralph declined to cross-ques- tion Hannah. | To him she never seemed so fair as when telling the truth so sub- limely. Bronson now informed the court that this little trick of having the old soldier happen in, in the nick of time, wouldn't save the prisoner at the bar from the just punishment which an outraged law visited upon such crimes 1s' his. He regretted that his dutyas a public prosecutor caused it to fall to x to marshal the evidence that was to blight the prospects and blast the character, and annihilate for ever, so bale and promifing a young man, but that the law knew Bo difference. between the educated and the uneducated, and that for his part he thought Hartsook a most dangerous foe to the peace of society. -- The evidence already given fastened sus- picion on him. The prisoner had not yet been able to break its force at all. The prisoner had not even dared to try to ex- plafn the reason for his being out at night to a young lady. He would now conclude by giving the last touch lo the dark evidedCe that wonld sink the once fair | oi Kaiph Hartsook in a hundred | vy.

On cross-examination he was a little confused when asked why he hadn't told of it before, but said that he. was afraid to say much, bekase' the folks was a taikin' about-hanging. the master, and he didn't want no lynchin', 3 The prosecution here rested, Bronson maintaining that there. was enough evid- ence to justify Ralph's committal to await trial. But the court thought that as the defendant had no counsel and offered no rebutting testimony, it would be only fair to haar what the prisoner had to. say in his own defense. All this while poor Ralph was looking about the room for Bud. Bud's actions had of late been strangely contradictory. But had he turned coward and deserted his friend? Why else did he avoid the ses- sion of the court] After asking himself such questions as these, Ralph would won- der at his own folly. What could Bud do if he were there/ There was no h Sra -- T1 cam wok grows " Iiyow the men | have to deal with. I srall not escape with State prison. They wil not spare my I'e.

He rose, and asked the court in gentlest tones to hear him.-- He had no personal interest in this trial, except his interest in the welfare of his old school-mate, Mr. Hartsook. He was grieved and disappointed to find the evi- dence against him so damaging, and he would not for the world add a feather to it, if it were not that his own name had bacn twice alluded to by the defendant, and by his friend, and perhaps his con- federate, John Pearson.

'" Broraex Soponm." In order to explain Walter Johnson's testimony and his state of mind, I musi carry the reader back nearly a week. The scene was Dr. Bmall's office. Bud and Walter Johnson had been having some ¢ tial ec power that could prevent the victim 'of so vile a conspiracy as this, lodging in that worst of State prisons at Jeffersonville, a place too bad for criminals, But when there was no human power to help, how naturally does the, human mind look for some intervention of God on the side of Right! And Ralph's faith in Providence looked im the directicn of Bud. But since no Bud came, he shut down the valves and rose to his feet, proudly, de- fiantly, ercely calm.
