This time the horse could not stand still, neither would the rampike loese its hold. For nearly thirty seconds the two at the horse's head did their best to undo the tangle, then the horse plunged for ward, the blanket tore, some of the lashings gave, and old man Haves roll- ed out with a thump, brandishing one stiffened Hmb in ghastly fashion as he fell. The doctor's mate swore, and his fluency made up for his former silence. "This is a positive scandal, boys. It's irreverent io the dead," Jim heard the doctor say. "It's blanked poor packing, that's what it is," retorted one of them. "Ed don't know enough to tie a granny knot Jet alone the diamond hitch." "You tie it better yourself, you web- footed blue nose." "That's dead easy, and I'll tie your blamed neck in a knot when I'm through with it," said the other an- grily, taking off his coat to work and Swear more easily. But he did not find it "dead easy." "Cinch the beggar good and tight," suggested one. "Corpses ain't got no feelin's," and putting his foot against the horse he threw his weight into the rope. "Hold od, Mo; you'll break him all "Not much. He's stiff enough. There, git up now," and he gave the horse a slap on its quarter. Frightened by its mishap, or more conscious of the dead nature of its burden than its masters thought, the horse bolted, galloped through the range of timber, and on to the open hillside, where Jim was standing, and there with two or three vicious bucks sent the body of Mr. Hayes rolling down the slope. This denouement evoked a volley of imprecations from the mutes, but even that Jad no apparent effect upon the gravity of the late Mr. Hayes. Never in his life had he proceeded with more deliberate dignity than he did then in his death. The pitch of the hillside was only just steep enough to induce a bale of goods to roll, so that the swathed body went down. it in slow time; with grave pauses, whilst the limbs of it, which had broken loose, swung in solemn mockery as the body rolled over. In spite of pauses, it would no: stop. As soon 8s one moved to catch it, It swung Its arms and started again, re- coverig #s momentum sufficiently to elude its would-be captors.

Meanwhile Jim Combe went out te pecure his own horse and another. The Jatter part of the business was horse stealing, almost yhe worst offence in Cattledom, but he ha dlied already to a friend, and was meditating a worse offence than horse-stealing.

The bet just suited the humor of the s the form of settlement touched their personal interest. "It's up to you, doc," they cried. "You're the littlg man to win his meo- ney.' To do the doctor justice, he was no coward, drunk or sober. "Hand me the bottle, Ike," he said, rallying in the most extraordinary manner, and speaking 'quite soberly. 'And ane of those glasses.

The awful heat and closeness of the bar room which he had left, made the *hill of the night air more noticeable. ft struck him like a bar of cold iron across the forehead and made him atch his bréath with a gasp. But his errand had no terror for him. He was one of those who, having learned a great deal about the mechanism of the tuman body, looked upon itgas an in- different piece of machinery capable of many improvements, and having about it nothing of the supernatural. As a locomotive he considered it be- neath contempt. Walking was at best but a succession of falls avoided. That had always been his opinion, but he had never known so much diffi- culty before in getting up that hind prop In time to save a collapse. Before 'starting from the bar room door he had taken a line upon the house which he wished to reach, and he had contrived not to lose sight of his points, but it was difficult fo keep them, moving 88 he felt compelled to do, at a knight moves at chess. Earth seemed for once to have no solidity; the laws of gravity in his par- ticular case seemed to have been sus- pended; his feet would not keep down snd he suffered from an almost irre- sistible temptation to allow his legs to gollapse altogether, a temptation which arose from a growing conviction that they really had nothing whatever to do with him, and that he could move perfectly well by the mere exer tion of will power. But he was ne sufficiently drunk yet to yleld to this temptation. He stil] had some contre over his memory, a he remenmbere that he had tried that game before and had been found in the street ver cold 'indeed the next morning. Dr. Protheroe had knowledge of the many inflr the flesh, but his knowicdge of { ferent expressions of alcoholic deme: tia was comprehensive.

He stopped, swaying dangerously iv the middle of the dark street to think out that preblem, but 'even his mind could only move now as the knight moves.
