, (Continued from last week.) Notwithstanding ell protests and abuse cattle were impounded and people fined, to the grest relief sud satisfaction of my farmers, and to the bitter mth-of others. Unfortunately, there was a lsrge number of these others,-â€"e rough, im- provident end lawless set, who were ac- customed to exprt es their disapproval of s man's actions by nocturnal visits in disguise and the perpetration of deeds of violence. Several sttempts had been made to break up the gang, but they were numerous and had many sympathi- zars; so that up to the present ell such efi'orts had been without svsll. Ever since Mr. stkins had begun his crusade sgsinst the live stock nuisance, it had been whispered that the old men had better be pretty careful how he plsyed the boss. That community wa’n’t no circus caravan to be driven by the likes 0' him. But it wss not generally thought that any one would dare to molest old Bawkim. The whitecepe had so far never appeared in bands of more than fifteen or twenty, sud then at remote farm-houses where there wss little or no denger of resistance. It was n sure thing thst it they, or snvoue else, sttnck- .: in- Hn-Irinl nlsce. some one would tum-houn- vhere there w dmger of resistance. It thing that it they, or anvom ed the Hawkins place, I got hurt. -L‘ 3'0 flu... The old men wee not eesily terrified. When he found the first notice of the {Ogdetore fastened to hisbern door one morning in April, he looked upon it as pure blnfi', end nid nothing. In May there cane another; but the time thst had elepeed since their first warning was so much grater then usually intervened between their notices that he gave it no second thought, efter remarking to his wife thnt he hnd heard from them var- rnlnts eg'in, but guessed they deseent do very much, for they didn’t seem to he in very much, for they menu mm W w no great hurry. And now, late this after- noon, he had found a third notice with every indication that it would be followed up by a. visit before morning, for their deley meant his preparation. The whip and the tar were significant. Nobody could tell what they might not do about the place ; uproot the garden ; drive ofi‘ the stock ; burn the barns : there was no villainy at which they would stop. The old man walked around the house, and when he returned to the kitchen his mind was made up on a few points. f‘Thexn teller: will come in a body ; Lt- ”lull II..- â€"â€"_- v‘ :‘Thexn tellers will oomé in abody; they‘ll come by the road, and from the nouth, too ; see if they dank" “What makes you “Link 50 1” asked his “E; “Well, it’s easier goin’ in the rod after dark than clim’in' fences ‘cross country, as they’d hve to do comin' from the east, halide- goin’ through that piece ’0 timber 77â€"1 AL-.. giant north.

Three walked slowly around to the back of the home, takinsz the accustomed path. Three filed off to guard the south side, and three more went around to the north. The rest spread out in an irregular group across the front. What their next move would have been cannot be known, for at that instant the whole posse was startled by the land hang of a gun close behind them. There was a bowl of pain, and several made a break towards the gate ; but Silas was there before them. From that direction also came a flash and a report which drove them back, surprised, confused, and smarting with wounds which burned like fire. In an instant, while they were still unable to see anything for the smoke, a tall bxawny figure, brandishing some un- known kind of weapon above his head, was upon them. A thick, heavy sound, followed by a grunt, could be heard, as whiteeap after whiteeap was struck by some terrific force, lifted bodily of his feet and sent sprawling headlong. Ther° was an attempt on the part of the regu- lators to use their horsewhips, but to no A 7 A__TL‘_ purpose.
