Then commenced a desperate struggle for the pistol a heavily mouututl,.u.gle barreled Derringer, lnuuh iu vogue in those da;s. Both were poworful, athleclic men.but Bub wan nerved with the energy ut dts pair,uud he finally wrenched the weapon lruui tne rubber's grasp. With a couple ol well-diricted blows Irom tbe pistol-butt, Bob stretched tbe villain beuaelcss and blcedlug at bis feet, and tbeu he cooly wit down on Iho pros trate man to keep guurd, expectiLg to die evety moment and wonderiug wLy he did not, bnt hoping that help might ar rive bifure the fellow should recover bis senses. About that time a parly of yonug men who had started out lor a coon hunt and had been attracted by the piatol sunt, came up with their huge, flaring toiches and a score of ugly-loouking dogs at tueir heels. They all knew Bob L'jvic well, and tho most zuilouu among tbem were lor ilea pu.cuiug the miscreant at once; but the ui..j rily of them were in iuvur ui biud lug htm und c.irrying him to Alacou to meet bis just puuisbmeuiUt the Laud 01 justice, aud with tuia party' Bob agreed mUo. Bob began to feel weak now lhat the urdeul wus over, aud he and the pres- ciuus lUiiil-puuuh were safe among nis trituds. ill J breast began to paiu Uiui, aud he expected eVtry moment to leel tho fatal luiutness ol death stealing uvtr him, tor there was tbe great, jagged uol iu his uo,,t, just abdVe bis heart, and the deadly iniislle must be in hi u some- where. A lew uupleusAUt misgiving? troubled him, as ho was lojkiug loruvutn, whicu proved that li .b'n hopes ot tUe future were nut so sailntivtoiy u- he UiighL huve wished, and bos gbeil a lillieua the new coiueis questioned ldrn. "It eut in here," he said, gravely, aud curtlully touching theouituous hoi.. 1 don't leel much iaiu, but it must be tbat It is bleeUing iuwaioly," uud Bob sighed aaiu. Tb-n he cautiously unbuttoned bis heavy coat, when out dropped Auniu Wfcaloy'g littlu Bibld with the build in. budded deeply iu its sacred pages it had saved bis 111 e. Tbe tears sprang into Bob's eyes, uu- bidden, while the others stared lu mute amazement, first at Bob, then at the un expected appearaucu or a Bible iu Bjb Lovio's coat, for his iulidel opinions bud been well known, aud it was odd enough to find him wearing such a book next to bis heart. But everyone was too glad to fiud Bob unhurt to care for anything ele, aud so they asked him for no explanutiuu, but with three routing cheers, started toward tue city with their peisoner securely bound.
