Poor Golding Snatched Something From the Floor. when first the visitor appeared upon her threshold. “Yes, madam,” replied Golding, “Dutton and I have been intimate associates for many years, ever since the war, in fact.” Mrs. Warren shuddered violently, and put her hands to her face to stifle the sobs that threatened to burst forth with hysterical force, but Golding was too intent upon ex- amining his friend to notice her, and in a moment she controlled herself. In the presence of this stranger and his neighbors, Mr. Warren had covered his self-possession, although his fingers twitch- ed when he picked up his lantern and bis voice quavered at first. “Who is it, Nick?” asked Seth Turner. “His name is Freeman Dutton,” respond- ed Mr. Warren. “I knew kim before I moved to Granite.” “How'd the place ketch fire?” inquired James King. “I don’t know, Jim, I left—that is, wife and I were coming up the mountain td see him. We were going to take him to our house, and we found the place burning up. Martha brought him out, she got here first.” “You'd seen him before, then, and knew he was here?” continued Seth, with the pertinacity of all woodsmea seeking in- formation. Before Mr. Watren could frame a reply Golding looked up at the group and cried: “There's been foul play here! Somebedy tried to murder this man:” The villagers were too excited by this an- nouncement to wait:for Mr. Warren’s reply to Seth’s question, They bent over Dutton in open-mouthed wonder, while Golding fer a moment stared hard at Mr. Warren, who returned his gaze steadily, and nodded his head. - “You knew then?” huskily. Mr. Warren nodded again. “I thought he was dead,” he said. Golding did @ot understand this remark, for he did not know or surmise that Mr. Warren had been to the cabin before the resent trip. i PeSFlow ae it done?” inquired King, in an estruck voice. oNStrangulation taainly,” responded Gold- ing. “See this,” and he pointed to a red mark upon Dutton’s throat, “and besides that there was a plow of some kind on the head that has stunned him.

Mrs. Warren promptly raised his head «gain. “Jf one of you %ly had some Hquor,”” she said, “I think we could revive him.” “Here's a little,” responded Turner, pro- ducing a flask with energy and haste to con- ceal the embarrassment he felt at confess- ing that he was provided with anything of the kind, for in Granite it was 4 blemish upon a man’s reputation to be known as a drinker. This was no time, however, for squeamishness, and Turner knew it. Mrs. Warren took the flask without comment and applied !t to Dutton’s lips. Meantime Golding had run toward the burning cabin as if he would enter it, but the heat and smoke brought him abruptly to a standstill, when he was yet several feet away. His arms raised to his face, he reated a bit. relwhat’s peared Warren, who had fol- ed him slowly. \ovigreeman was choked with his own belt,” erled. Coes “The belt isn’t on aim.

There he was placed upon the bed of the spare room, and Golding and the villagers withdrew. “Will,” said Mr. Warren 2 moment later, ddle a horse and go for Dr. Nason.” ‘How far has he got to go?" asked Gold- ing, as Will hurried out. “About three miles.

As. Mr. and Mrs. Warren were making Dutton comfortable the husband said in some surprise: “I didn’t know he was a Catholic.” “He didn’t used to be,” she responded. “What makes you think so now?” He silently pointed to the scapular that hung about Dutton’s neck. “Poor Freeman!” she said softly after a moment. “I suppose he’s been converted. If there’s any danger we ought in justice to him to send for the priest at Denby. “I'll do it,” responded her husband. there's any reed of it.” “Perhaps we ought to anyway,” suggested his wife. “We'll see what the doctor says,” said Mr. Warren. “Who is this gentleman who appeared so suddenly on the mountain?” “I never saw him befor “Do you suppose he knows*" “How can I tel Both husband and wife were very grave. They stood facing one another a moment, and then Mrs. Warren said: “We ought to know, Nicholas. He will say things to you that he might not to me, or if T were present. Go into the sit- ling room. I will watch him.” “qr “Yes, that is better,” responded Mr. War- ren, and repressing his agitation that had threatened to break forth afresh he joined Golding and the villagers. The traveler had becn applying the fump- ing provess to Turner and King, and they, Without in the least realizing that he was questioning them, had told him all they knew about the Warrens. it wasa’t jauch in spite of twenty-five years of neighborly contact.

The traveler's tone was cold and hard. “I had been to the cabin half an hour hefore,”” replied Mr. Warren resentfully. “I found him lying on the floor with the belt around his throat.
