I Then he hastily donned the other old suit, and, concealing the discarded as best he could, he sank down In a chair to await developments Then it suddenly occurred to him that instead of returning to the cabin h<; should have taken to the I'airplay trail, where he would have been certain after a time to have met Tom on his way back, and then all danger would have been at an end. "I'erhaps it Is not too late yet," be thought, and, acting upon the suggestion, he arose and started for the door. 1 >ut suppose the vigilantes should take him away and hang hiin! How would Tom ever learn of his fate? Acting upon a sudden Impulse, ho wrote this brief note, which ho placed in a conspicuous position upon the table: Pear Tom—lf lam not here when you cone 1 , It l.s because the vigilantes have taken me away and liangcl me by mis take for that other Kngli.shtnan. NEl>. Then be opened the dixir nnd passed out. He had gone perhaps tifty yards when he was startled by the click of a rille hammer and a stern summons tr» throw up his hands. lie obeyed with out hesitation, and a moment later he was confronted by a great, rough boarded fellow, who with a shrill whis tle summoned several other men to bin side. "Waal, ye didn't git away, did ye, Jim?" said the man who halted Ned and who seemed to be the leader of the party. "My name Isn't Jim," replied Ned In a low, choking voice, for in imagina tion he already felt the hangman's noose tightening about his neck. "It's Ned Standisb, and a more unlucky devil never lived." "Ned Ktandlsh, Is It?" retorted tho other, a broad grin overspreading bia face. "Waal, I reckon it'll be 'dead Standisb' in a little while," which sally provoked roars of laughter from the fellow's companions. Ned, however, protested his Innocence so vehemently that, despite the conviction of his cap tors that he was none other than Jim White. It was decided to take him up to camp and have his case decided there instead of finishing him then, us was evidently their llrst Intention. He then asked permission to go Into the cabin a moment, which was grant ed him. the men accompanying him. His purpose was to let Tom know where ho was to be taken, and be add ed to the note which be had already \\ ritten these words: Three o'clock Thursday afternoon. They •re about to take me up to the camp. He judged rightly that the men would not attempt to destroy tho note or prevent him from writing what he desired. Indeed, they looked upon it as a bluff and regarded it with amused indifference. About this time, however, an Incident happened which nearly proved fatal to his hopes, for one of the more curious of the men in prowling about the cabin unearthed that awful suit of clothes. Shouts of triumph and cries of derision at Ned's protest greeted its discovery, for It was regarded as conclusive evidence of his guilt. Some of the men were for taking him outside and finishing him, especially the fellow who found the suit, who denounced him as a mur derer, liar and scoundrel of the deepest dye. The leader, however, decided to take him up to the camp, nnd tliU was done without further delay. Arrived here, be was taken to a large, partially tilled house, where a number of men. presumably vigilantes, (juicily assembled. Then, with consid erable show of formality, ills trial be gan. A number of men were selected to act as jurors, who seated themselves on boxes and barrels somewhat apart from the others. Then the prosecution, or whatever you may bo pleased to call It, offend its evidence. Several men identified Ned as Jim White, and three positively swore that they saw him tire the fatal shots which had killed Dick Allen and I'd Hope. Then the men who hud captured him told the story of his flight, capture and the discovery of the clothes concealed in Tom Mcintosh's cabin, which wore identified by a num ber of men as those worn by White at the time of the shooting, and thou the prosecution rested. The evidence seemed overwhelming, and that It was regarded as conclusive by every one In the room was apparent. Then Ned was asked If he had any thing to say in his own behalf. There was a method about the whole proceed ing that was entirely lit variance with Ned's preconceived notions of vigilante Justice which, together with the char acter of the evidence, left hllll but little hope as to his ehaiice of escape. For several moments he did not re spond. fol he felt the Utter futility of attempting to convince these men that he was other hin .1., i White, but the love i i life which i o strong in most men at length asserted itself, and he began to -peak. It was with a low, calm voice that he began, for '.he cer tuli ty of hi- Impending l'ato made hurt sc. into himself as good as dead. 11l simple, earnest words he told the story of his unhappy lot since coining to this country, and there was more than one who. looking Into Ills frank, youthful face, was for the first time disturbed with grave doubts as to whether he was Jim White after all. In tho same nitnpli, quiet way lie told the story of the day's incidents, and the deep, re spectful silence which followed told as eloquently as the grave, sober faces about lilin how deep was the impres sion which his words had made. For several moments thi- silence con tinued. but was broken at length by a voice saying in sharp, contemptuous tones: "Ifis Jest a clever bit of actio'. He's Jint White W> all know lie's Jim White." Thus th effect ot Neil's story was Mv. pt a : ,'. :i • I it v.. ■ but a few minutes ul'or that the ji.ry announced that flu Iloved the prisoner to be Jim White. I hen preparations for the ex. i uta.u were made. A stout heavy rop. v. ■ ; I : I! '.t i lid to a beam aboxe. A rough noose was made i at the other end. ami then one of the men approached Ned to pinion his arms. These ominous preparations seemed to suddenly quicken the love of life within him, and then, like an Inspira tion. came a sudden thought to his mind. "V"U would not hang an innocent man. would you?" he usked, with a ring of hope ill his Voice. "No," several voices promptly an swered. "Well, then." continued Ned, "wait until Tom Mcintosh returns from Fair play. and If he does not Identify me as Ned Standisb then I'll submit without another word to be hanged." It w is a reasonable proposition and so seemed to the tii<-ii about him, and there was an evident disposition to comply with his request when the same fellow who bad spoken before shouted out: "What's the use of foolin' any lon ger with this fellow? We all know he's Jim White, we all know what we've suffered from him and his gang, an' it's Jest a scheme t<> delay things until the gang can git together and rescue him." That settled Ned's fate, and he was told to prepare for the end. This decision seemed so unjust, so cruel, so infamous, that It aroused a great anger within him, and he broke j forth in bitter denunciation t' Uiem. They w ere cruel, cold blooded murder ers, ho declared, and for several mo ments he excoriated them with passion and vehemence. Stung beyond endur ance at his sa\ age thrusts, one of thein, the same fellow who just a moment he lore had turned the scales against him, drew his revolver nnd with a fierce oath sprang forward as though to fell him to the tloor. Glowing with wrath. Ned sprang forward to meet him, and Just as the fellow raised his revolver he struck him a terrific blow full In the face, which felled him to the floor. Then a scene of wild confusion fol lowed. A half dozen or more men sought to secure him; but, inspired with rage and a sense of the deep wrong done him, he fought like a wild beast. Hack and forth the crowd strug gled, fierce oaths and low cries of pain mingling with the shullling of foot, for Ned managed several times to free his arms from the grasp of those about him, and on each occasion he sent SSI Pfr A'cd ttpraiiy forward to meet htm. some one reeling to the tloor. But the weight of numbers soon told, and in a few moments he was lying securely bound. There was little delay in the proceed ings thereafter. lie was blindfolded, placed on a high box several feet from the tloor, the noose was adjusted about his neck, and then at a signal tho box was pushed from under him. Millions tif stars seemed to flash before his darkened eyes, a thousand great bells seemed to be clanging in his ears, hia chest felt ns if it would burst open, and then—oblivion. • •••*•• About 1 o'clock on this same after noon a huge fellow drove two heavily laden donkeys up before a cabin about two miles down the gulch. "Hello, Ned, my lad!" he shouted In a cheery voice. "What—not in?" he continued as no reply came to him from within. "The boy must be fish ing." Then he pushed the door open and walked in. The piece of paper upon the table instantly caught his eye, nnd, going up to it, he read the note which Ned had left for him. With a hoarse cry of mingled grief and rnge he turned and rushed for the door, pick ing up as jbe went his Winchester. Then he-'dushed out and started up the trail for the camp at a pace too terrific to be maintained for any con sldcrnl.de distance. If any one bad chanced to moot that man oil that occasion, he would sure ly have given him the right of way, for supplementing the powerful figure was a look in that set face and in those gray eyes which boded infinite trouble for some one. on and on he wont with no apparent slackening of his pace. The great lungs worked faster and faster. When he had cov ered another half mile, his pace bad slackened to a slow, staggering trot. The look upon that haggard face bail bt come something terrible, and it seemed as though each succeeding mo ment must witness his total collapse. But on h«' went, staggering at times, but holding to his course with a de termination as grim and unyielding as fate. As he ran Into camp ho saw a crowd assembled about the storehouse which at that moment broke Into a cheer. Spurred on by the awful fear at his heart, Tom summoned his exhausted energies for one supreme effort. In an other moment he was on the edge of the crowd, which parted with wonder before him, and then he was at the door of the storehouse. He burled his great body against it.and as It burst open he saw the figure suspended in midair. With a hoarse, despairing cry, such as those who heard it will never forget, he rushed toward the hanging body, and as be mounted a box and drew his knife preparatory to cutting tho rope he shouted In tones of mad dened rage and grief: "Curse your cow ardly, murdering souls! If you have killed that boy, you will have to settle with me!" No one attempted to stop hiin, for they all realized then that u terrible mistake had been made, and when a moment later the white, limp figure was cut down and laid gently on the floor many there wore who sought to help Tom in the work of resuscitation. With fierce oaths lie them aside, and then ns ho s) rink* I witter in tho white, upturned face and gently chafed the nerveless hands he called out in the most piteous tones: "It's Tom, lad! It's me, Ned! Don't you know me? I'm with ye, lad, now! Have no fonrl" But ns minute after minute passed without any signs of returning con sciousness it seemed as though the work of resuscitation was to fail. Tom, however, redoubled his efforts, and nt length, to his infinite Joy, lie discerned n faint sign of returning life. There was Just a faint tremor of an eyelid, and then a minute later a low, deep sigh escaped the bov. In another mo ment his eyes slowly opened, and Torn knew that the battle was won. Then came the reaction from the strain and excitement under which the noble fel low had labored, and before any one could interpose a helping hand he sank In at' .t beside the boy whom be had saved 1.rt.,...- IVliil'H I 'or iciiiilinienlH.

Only the best of edibles and delicacies are served at very mod erate cost. To feed the "Cape May's" passengers requires supplies of meats, fruits, vegetables, fish and oysters in immense quantities.
