He had never been quite certain whether it was in dreams that he flew, or in waking life. The dream had always seemed Sitting upon the ground with his eyes carefully shut, and talking rapid- ly but incoherently, he explored the whole door from the mud to within six inches of the lock half a dozen times, and at last concluding that. he must have reached the wrong side of the house, began to crawl round it, until utterly weary. he sank desnair- ingly into a peculiarly cold puddle, from which lowly station he beat in- 'termittently upon the solid pine logs of the wall imploring Old man Hayes to “get up and let a fellow in.” At last oblivion came to him, but not in the kindly fashion to which he had grown accustomed. There was a diffi- culty about his breathing which he did not remember to have noticed on previous occasions. It was quite na- tural that he should have turned over on his back, but his head was rolling about in an unusual way, and there seemed to be an obstruction in front of his mouth. “ASDhYXiashun,” he decided. “Un- usual symptom, rather think unnat- ural. Not had enough whiskey for that,” and then he went out into Space The violent exercise did something to counteract the effects of the chill air upon his heated brain, but not enough.

Of course.” But in spite of the excellence of his reasoning he was obliged after a time to conform to custom. and finished his journey in a wild burst upon two legs. which landed him in a heap at the old man’s door. “Varicoshe veins.” he muttered, as he went. “Shyatica, gout. notin’ to do wi' whiskey.

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 and he suffered from an almost irre- siStine temptation to allow his legs to :ollapse altogether, a temptation which arose from a growing conviction that they really had nothing whatever .0 do with him, and that he could .

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 bind prop in time to save a collapse. vvl .5 a)» (1 Doctor 'Protherde was “guy; on, picking up a. little friend ’here and another more fully grown further on, until together they turn a. miller’s wheel or dream through lush hay fields to thesea, alo: He became conscious that he was no longer in the streets of Soda Creek. He could hear horses’ feet and gravel which rattled and slid beneath them, and a jerk which threw him heavily upon his horse’s neck woke him to the fact that he was riding down an extremely steep incline into a grey sea of icy vapor. But as his thoughtsigrew less vague his body grew more and more cold. The spirit was ,. dying out in his blood, and his tightly bound extremities were beginning to freeze. ' It seemed to the doctor that his pace ;was suddenly accelerated. In his dream flight he began to move with quite phenomenal rapidity. In all pre- vtous expeditions of the kind, the mo- tion had been a steady sailing, so steady that if he had not seen the self absolutely stationary in space. But now he was going at. a great speed and jerkily. Yes, certainly jerkily, and the atmosphere was becoming dis. tinctly colder. He had entered a stratum of cold air. Ah, yes, that must be it. He was getting higher; he was in fact rocketting. That was it, he was rocketting. Quite natural. he re- flected. You hit a bird in the head and it rockets. The whiskey has hit me in the head and it rockets. Ccr-‘ tainly I am rocketting. “My God. yes,” was the startled an- swer. Without further demur Bill handed over the bridle and Jim, turn- ing the horses sharply down hill, dis- appeared into the night. whilst the widower slunk through the back prem- ises into the Ideal. “Bill,” he hissed, I‘ivh'én she died, wouldn’t you have done this or any Othez~ blanked thing to save her?” There was no ’c’ime to Be lost. It was crugl, but he had to do it. Still the man doubted, and Comb saw a bar of light in the front of the Ideal. Some one had )pened the door to look out. The crowd was growing Impatient for its drinks. “For a woman, sure. Hand over, 0 they’ll be after us.” Bill looked at Combe, doubtfully. He had known Jim many years, but had never seen the man he saw now. The sight staggered him and made him doubtful of the share he had taken in the proceedings. “No, of course not. A dead ass ain" no good. Hand me his bridle,” and Combe reached from the saddle for it But Bill held on to it. “See here, Jim, this is a mighty ugly business. It is for a woman?” “That’s ”1y trouble. I’m blanked if I know how I’m going to fix that, un- less I gag him too. I wish the doctor was not too drunk to sit on by him- self.” “If he wasn’t he wouldn’t go.” “Yes, he would, with this,” and the light flickered on a barrel hardly harder than the speaker’s face. “You don’t mean n6 foul play by him, do you?" Comb; had taken the tie rope from the pinto’s saddie. and with it had fashed the doctor’s feet together under the belly of his horse, after which he had passed the bight of the rope round his victim’s waist and secured him firmly by it to the horn of the saddle. “I guess he'll ride like that for a bit," he said. looking critically at his work. “Seems pretty well packed. doesn't he?" and taking the doctor by the shoulder he swayed him tentative- ly in the saddle. “Yes, he’ll stay there till you untle him, but what are you going to tell the ferryman?" CHAPTER XIV. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE oaaiy. MISS Clifford is nursing him and wants a doctor.” “Ah!” grunted the doctor, and Whis- tled a strange hollow Whistle like that of a fog horn. It was a curious trick he had on occasions of insight. He knew the Risky Ranch pretty Well, though he was no favorite there, and he knew its internal history, and. could have made shrewd guesses about Miss Clifford and Jim Combe and even about Mr. Anstruther. The ways oi; “Ain’t I? That new tenderfoot, An- struther, has broke himself up pretty badly. Miss Clifford is nursing him and wants a doctor.” “What is it? A woman? You aren’t married?” Jim laughed a hard laugh. “What is it then? You aren't drunk or a fool.” “Guess I did, or I shouldn’t have took youJ' “You must have wanted me pretty badly,” he said at length, and ther: was no trace of anger in his voice, no protest against his attempted abduc tion. Still the doctor sat where he was, stretching his cramped legs, feeling the stifftned muscles of his arms, swaying a little in his saddle, and look- ing at Combe. “You ain’t afraid about finding your way, are you?” asked Combe. “They‘ll be here pretty soon now, if they don’t fall in and get drowned. I’m not com. Ing along. Soda Creek might not be healthy for me just now.” But the doctor remained sitting where he was. “Now you might as well ride back and finish the night with your pals. Sorry I troubled you.” ”I guess you can sit on then by yourself,” he remarked, unfastening the rcpe which bound his captive's legs, before freeing his hands. “Steady! Don’t fall off as you ride back, and don’t try any monkey tricks with me. It ain‘t worth it,” and then, reassured by the doctor’s appearance, he let his hands go. Jim looked at himâ€"inâ€"some surprise. The sobering effect of the ride had been even greater than he had antic! pated. “You m_ig1'1t as well untie my hands whilst you are about it. They are nearly frozen already,” said Protheroe in _a matter-of-fact tone. “Hulloa, you are awake, are you? Want them wraps off your mouth ‘3” he asked, cynically. “They’ll keep the cold off your cheer,” but he moved to- wards him and released the doctor from his gag. â€"â€"â€" vv But the revolver shot had roused others, if it had not called the ferry- man. The red glow in the centre of the townlet was redder now and larger. The loor of the Ideal was wide open, and there were voices on the night air, the voices of men which grew closer as he listened. Possibly Bill’s suspicions had found voice at the last moment, the revolver shot having confirmed them, and now the whole drunken gang was out looking for the doctor and his abductor. It did not matter much. He could easily escape such a posse as they were like- ly to form, but he turned towards his captive. It was no use keeping him any longer. --â€"â€"â€" â€"--v a shot, but for awhile there was no response. The ferryman had con- cluded that his cowboy passenger of the morning was as other cowboys he had known, and would be as long over his half-hour’s business as they had been, and, Caribou, being a free coun- try, he had gone where he listed. For a time he wrestled with the lock and tried to break it with a boulder from the beach, but such attempts had been foreseen and the fastenings were too strong to yield to rude surgery. “Doesn’t matter much if they do come now,” he said to himself, and began to hulloa on the off-chance that the ferryman might be Within hearing. He even took out his revolver and fired When a cable crossed the river they pauscd, and Jim dismounting went down to the water’s edge. The ferry was there, moored to the bank, the ice-cakes gathering round it as it iay, but there was no boatman by it, and the little shack in which he shel- tered was empty. Jim got into the ferry and tried to move it, but the chain of it was secured by a great pad- lock. It was kept for the public’s con- venience and the ferryman’s profit, and the ferryman had gone. “Curse it. That’s what Ivmight have expected,” Jim muttered, “but I didn’t see him i_n the saloon when we left.” Far oxerhead the 1110 could see a. :exx tall conit ‘.ers towering 1:1 the night 111ist,a1:d behind them, up stream. the dull red light which marked the cen- tre of such life as there “as in Soda Creek.
