"They're After Me," IIe Said
"They're after me. You've get te
keep them out."
Her relief wns se great she thought
he had come with some terrible tidings
of her niece that she laughed. "Who
are after you?"
"These dogs from the Mills, sicked
en me by thnt Western devil of yours.
Why dldn t you de something? Yeu
could have fired the let. I tell ou,
they re after me. I get a warning
from a kid I ve given pennies te ; came
en n run. They're coming, they're
en their way" he quivered all ever
"with a horsewhip!1'
'Teming here?"
"Ne. te my house. But they'll track
me. He will. He'll drag me out the
bloodhound. He's been nt inv heels
since the first night. He'll cet me.".
"Xe, William, lie's net with them.
I knew where lie is tenluht. Re quiet,
please. Sit down. You've been badlv
frightened. But I'm sure it wns a false
alarm. They won't come here for you"
her teeth slid against each ether. 'then
set "and If they de come, I can manage
them. They wen t dare -enrch mv
house for jeu, I should hope. Sit
down nnd keep quiet. I say. I don't
feel In the humor for a scene. I'll
get you some whisky."
After he had drunk the whisky, he
collapsed nnd. lying along the lounge,
he panted like u dusty deg. She
moved about, ghostly nnd restless,
listening te the vngue and distant noises
of the night. They heard the unbroken
river-murmur, the ecinsinnul creicende
and diminuendo of a passing train, at
last the noisy humming of a rapidly
driven car.
"What's that?" he cried. eming up
te a sitting position nnd cowering
against the cushions, clutching at them
with his hands. "It's coming in here,
I tell you!"
"Yes," she said. "Keep still. It's
Heloise. She has been out te a party.'
Then as there came n faint murmur of
I.ele s voice, Miss Seliln s fare grew
calm and its llne smoothed themselves
out. She came ever te Sales, looked
down nt him nnd smiled ut once scorn
fully nnd indlfterent'y. "Why don't
jeu' go upstairs and get te bed? Yeu
are quite safe."
"Perhaps." He blew bis lips in nnd
out. "Well, perhnps 1 um. Could it
have been a false alarm? The little
rascal teemed scaied himself. All his
freckles steed out. he was se pale. Well
cs es," he murmured reassurance
te himself as though his spirit were a
scared child, "I might as well go up
and get some sleep. But" en his wnv
te the deer he turned and shook a
finger at her "I held u responsible
for my bedilv snfety. Selda."
She bent her head, smiling the hir
Svdnev smile. "I accept the responsi
bility.' Willlnm It has been the absuul
and 'undignified puni-liment for my
mistake. f!e upstairs, rhjeically ,ou
are safe enough."
Sales blundered out into the hall nnd
found himself face te face with Q. Hie
jeung man bew'ed and mniled.
"I'll run jeu home, doc." he said
plcasanth. , , , . ., t
Mis Seldn had shutnk back from that
meeting, had closed the deer upon it.
She could net face Q. whom, in Saps
presence, bhe had Insulted and dis
missed, and who hnd icspended te her
call for help. .... .. c. i-
"I'm spending the night here, Sales
gasped out. , ,
"Ne. sir. Yeu aren't. Yen i re com
inc back with me. Ne use pulling back
en the rope, doc I wns en my way te
veu. The boys will get jeu if ou
ilen't put your confidence in me. I
was going te get leiind te you earlier
thiH evening, but I've been delajed.
It's about '' o'clock, isn t it .' Ae have
ihree-quiu-iers of nil hour then, if
we're quic'." Hp steppe, close te
Sales "let out. nu big bullj. he
said teniblj. "and step into the lord,
or I'll thrash jeu into a bigger jell
thnn jour own lnziness has made."
Sales lifted up his elce te blent for
his putieness. but bin tliieut shut under
Q's grasp. He was backed slowly
alone the lull, across the veranda, and
heaved up. still bj the neck, into the
waiting Ferd. 0 climbed te the wheel
nnd the were off uihtantlj at u tern-
fing speed. , , ,
"I can't Keep the critter going unless
I give him icin." Q explain d equably.
''Don't jeu shake jeur-eif te pieces
new, doc. I-el the critter de the slink,
ing for ou. I've took jour ense Inte
my hands nnd I'm going te oek after
it geed and plenty. Yeu de like I tell
ou te, and jeu won't get yeqr lickin
from the boys much as you deserve It.
"New, sime we hnen't get a whole

"Yes," muttered bales.
"And that night, there come te the
