them, and, having had no reply to bis
question, he suspected foul play and
darted at. once round the warehouse
toward the back end. He was just in
time to see three figures running, at
the top of their speed down the rail
way. He pulled his revolver and fired
an ineffectual shot after them. With.

George stretched upon the floor. Turn

gasped. ; Hastening to the front door,
he opened it and ran out " In the halC

man standing motionless.
"Whaf s the matter over tharl the

"Buckley's: been shot!" Bob answer
ed. "Run for a doctor, quick!"
"My God!" the man exclaimed. "I'll
be as quick as I can. Dr. Jobe's at
home."
When the physician came ten min
utes later Bob met him at the door. "I
thought he was dead just now," he
said, "but he's still breathing."
"Hold the lamp for me," said the
doctor as he bent over the v wounded
man, and as Bob obeyed he quickly
made an examination of the wound.
The firm pressure of his fingers seemed
to revive Buckley somewhat, for he
groaned and began to struggle.
"Is this all the wound he has?" Dr.
Jobe asked.
"I think so," said Hanks. "I heard
only one shot" .
"Are yott sure of that?"
"Yes, I am. I was on the far corner
of the vacant lot going home. I'm
pretty sure only one was fired."
The doctor made another examina
tion. "Is it bad?" asked Bob anxiously. '
"Gant tell yet" said the doctor, "but
I think he has a good chance to pull
through. He's badly stunned, but I
don't think there's any fracture of the
skull. We must move him up to Hill

as bad off as he is."

CHAPTER XXX.
HE next morning half the vil
lage dropped in to see where
George Buckley had fallen. No
one was able to say exactly
how the thing, bad happened. The doc
tor, while reporting that George was
practically out of danger, had forbid
den any -one to question the young
man, and all sorts of speculations and
rumors were in the air. It was not
until late in the afternoon that even
Hilly er had a full explanation, for it
was not til then that he ran across
the letter George had written. Several
old men were in the office at the time.
Hanks was there, arid Bascom Trultt,
wiping his eyes and vowing revenge
on the miscreants who had so coward
ly attacked a brave man. " ' -- ' -
Major Cranston, well wrapped in
rugs and braced by pillows, had come
down in a carriage with his negro man
servant and sat with the rest pale of
face and weak looking, yet relieved to
discover that some valuable papers he
had left in Hillyer's keeping were in
tact He had heard that the safe had
been opened, and then he had .heard
that report contradicted and could only
rest satisfied by coming himself, weak
as he waE. Hlllyer had been strange
ly silent all the afternoon, butwheft
he; came upon George's lettervhe rose
and began to talk In a voice vthat sank
deep- and' shook ywith j uncontrollable
emotion. . V - -A-1
? "I've lest found the key to.it", he
said, the letter in his -hand,- "an". III
bet you all wilt think; well o' that pore
wounded boy when you know what .
do. Last'night three armed men slip-
ped up on im right here In this office.
I reckon, from what I gather, that
they told 'im his daddy was a convict
an' folks in general didntfexpect v Im
to be honest nohow, an' that ef he
didn't ooen the safe they'd kill 'im an
bore . in ' it the'rselves., -He wasrf t
tempted one minute, but he. wanted to
leave a line to me before he died.";
Hlllyer choked up and was silent for a
moment The group bent toward him;
with "working;; features and eyes ; dis
tended. "So he told 'em all right the
Jig was np, but they'd have to give Im
time to work out the combination.
They lowed he was doin It but in
stead he was writinf , a last - word to
me. - He ald he was tired o' llvin' any
how, "the .world was so down on im,
an' that he'd ruthetf die'an take a hand
In lettin' a gang o' thieves steal the
savin' oporei folks, an' so he said he
wa goln to refuse. He said be hoped
ft would give the lie to the belief that
he waa dishonest beca'se his old daddy
had gone wrong.: Thar, was another
matter he writ-about, but that was
nHvatft. I want to say, though, that
fleam .'Buckley wasn't happy;
hd in'f hAon hnnov f er a long
Thar are men in this world that think
they are too good to mix an mingle
with men o'. his stamp, but I vey got

thing that X feel like slappin' the Jaws

They iwere 1 air somehow: looking- Et
Major CranstonEven Hanks had fixed
him with a curious stare. - The invalid
stirred uneasily in. bl-chair. One of "
his pillows 'fell, to the floory"but the
negro man behind him forgotto restore
it -' Negroes comprehend the most deli
cate ? workings of v the . Anglo-Saxon
brain; and this black creature knew.
that. his master, had. Incurred the dis-J
pleasure of his neighbors..; Cranston,
seemed to feel that he ought to apeak,
but he did not like the expressions on
the faces of Trultt and Hlllyer,' and
their voices had rung with accusing de
: fiance. " ;
v "What do you think ought to be done,
Mr. Hanks?" he asked.. S
."I don't know," said Hanks. "1 .don't
know."- - . T
"WeH, ventured Cranston, interlac
ing his. white, thin fingers, "I see no
harm in. wiring the governor to offer a
reward for the arrest of the men. - The

glance was bearing down significantly
on. the major.. "I never met a better
man than George Buckley. He's woth
more ' to the community than ;. forty
'leven fluted bosom - ring- politicians.
Seems to me I heard some fool woman
or other say thar was a few people in
this town that tried to hold their heads
above 'im on account o his affliction.
By gum, them sort ud have to climb a
powerful high mountain to look over
that boy's head, anK don't yon forget
It" ' - '
"That's the tlcketr said Trultt fol
lowing Hanks outside. - '-
"Seems to me," , said . Cranston, his
proud, lip quivering as he turned to
Hlllyer, "that I'm being hit at I didn't
come down here to talk over , my my
family matters witir anybody." , ' ;
"We are all worked up to sympathy
for George," Hlllyer Bald coldly. "But
knowing what I do about the hearts
o yore daughter an George Buckley,
I feel like tellin' yon to go to the deuce
with yore notions o' family honor,
Major Cranston."
"I have not said I wanted to discuss
the matter with you," retorted the ma
jor sharply. , '-v '
"I don't care whether you want .to
discuss it or not" answered Hlllyer.
"You are blind as a bat The man you'
are trying to make yore gal marry is
a dirty, sneaking coward, an-. '.. a.
Why don't you tell , bim these
things 7" broke in Cranston angrily.
"He's been told twice to his teeth by
friends o mine an' tuck it like a whip
ped pup."
"You mean to tell me that Governor
Telfare letsany man insult him without
resenting it?" '
"Yes; he was low enough to meet
George Buckley en yore own lawn an'
order him away as if he had. been; a
dog. The boy cussed im fer'every-
thing he could think of, all o which
yore brag man took like a egg auckln'
dog. After that Bas Trultt went to
Atlanta an' told 'im what he thought
of 'im in his" own house an' then pull
ed bis ears good an' sound an' left 'im.
That's the man you are tryin' to link
to" your lordly name a man who to

is a bankrupt an' don't own the shirt

Buckley, an! she would marry 'im to

dead of heart disease. X don't believe,
yote heart's- got that sort o disease.
Dr. Jobe says you eat -too much an
that it's nothih' but yore old liver." -Cranston
was as white as the pillow
behind him. . -!Can
you prove that Telfare is la
Insolvent?" he asked; - 4;
"Yes, I can."t ' " ' .

laugh, but you know Mr. Hlllyer
mighty nigh as well aa I do, George,
an if e bis actions tbsf s troublin me
now. Ever since be set up all night
with the old men over Trabuea body
he's been actin' curioufl, an' this morn
ln' he saddled a boas an' went off to
the mountains, savin' .he wouldn't be

he wee goin' fer, an' he jest said, -Busi
ness.' but lrs powenui qusr ier ;un to
leave the warehouse in Jim Kenner's
charge an' you flat o yore - back. I
lowed at fust that maybe he was after
the thieves that shot you, but Mr.
Hanks told me that nobody had claim
ed the reward he'd offered sn' that it
was believed the men had: got clean
off out-o reach. No, It wasn't that
an' what Mr. Hlllyer did go fer is
mystery to me." -
' Georce fancied he had the key to the
matter, but he did not feel "at liberty
to disclose It so he made no reply.
"Poor fellow!" he said to himself. ' "He
has gone to see Mrs.; Hambrlgbt ' to
conf ess what be has been doing in re
gard to her supposed pension."
"Pore boy,". Mrs. Hlllyer went on
sympathetically, "I reckon you've -got
enough troubles o yore own ' without
me pushin'.mine on you, but you man
age never to show yore'n.1
"We all have them," aaid .Buckley
DbilosoDhlcaUy. "I try to remember
that and put up with mine.1
. . The woman sighed. "Anthro-agh an
this last Effslr you haint1 mentioned
one person thafs been on yore mind
constant Georze. X know you' been
thlnkin' about 'er, fer. when you was
delirious the other night her name wee
on yore Hps all the time. X set thar at
the window, my boy, an had the hard
est cry X ever had in my life. X jest
-wish she could 'a come In the room
an overheard all you aaid. George,
you must 'a' been dreamin' that you n
her wes fetched together, fer I never
In - Ell .my days . heard -. auch tender
words. You actually set up once sn'
put yore feet on the floor, an' held out
yore arms sn' called to 'er."
"I did have a dream of that kind,"
Buckley admitted under his breath.
He was silent for a moment and then
be went on: "It was the most wonder
ful thEBg I ever experienced. Xt seem
ed so reaL I thought X wee lying help
less out in the sunshine end that she
came to me across a meadow an end
less meadow, covered ; with fragrant
flowers. I thought her hands and arms
were full of them-and 'that she came to
me ' laughing, - singing, dancing. She
seemed to have on the dress that she
wore that night in Atlanta, though her
hairwas down and blown about by the
wind. I thought she threw the flowers
over me and -.held out her " hands to
heh me no. And when we stood to
gether, looking toward the setting sun,
I I thought I kissed her. and. that we
stood alone in all the world just she
and L 1 seemed to be unable to speak,
but she,told me that we ware never.
never to be parted. Then I thought
something struck me like a stone In the
forehead, and It began . to. grow dark
and abe vEnlshed." It wes a twinge in
mv wound that waked ine.
