He had been prepared for anything but the boyish, appealing eyes which looked up at him from the crevice be- tween the two logs. But Duty, spelled | with a flaunting capital, demanded it, | and Duty had ever been the lodestar of Carter’s life. It afterwards seemed | to him that the thoughts of a thou- "sand years crowded his brain between lthe time he identified the hunted man | by the tell-tale scar upon his cheek and had seen the man's hand move, move toward his hip pocket—a move- ment which caused Duty to call upon strained | trigger. at the leash, His orders had been to shoot at the least suspicious movement. Well, he had carried out his orders to the let ter, and yet he felt as guilty as though he himself were thrica an outlaw. The smoking weapon fell to the ground with a dull thud—it had done its work though the aim had not been good. One quick look assured Carter of this, then he turned away to tie the blood- hounds where they could not be seen by the man they had just tracked to his death. Retracing his steps he dropped down on his knees beside the victim. “God forgive me!" he cried as the eyes, more eloquent than ever in their suffering, again looked into his. “Never mind," came in a whispered enswer. “It—had to be, but I—I'm about done for l-—think.” The outlaw lay with one hand pressed to his side, while through his fingers bright, fresh blood cozed. Car- ter had considered himselt a strong man, but at this sight a sickening wave of weakness assailed him. If it were only the bold desperado his imagination had pictured, instead of this frank-faced boy, who lay writh- ing beside him! “God! I wish it hadn't have had to be me!" broke from him. “And—I—" spoke the other with dif- flculty—"1 only—wish your aim had been better.” “Isn’t there aomethlng I can do to ease you?" Inquired Carter, trylng to pull himself together. “Nothing—only—my head—" Quickly divining, Carter moved nearer and raised the sufferer's head on his knee. Though elated to think it lay within his power to add, be it ever so Iittle, to the wounded man's comfort, Carter was moved to reflect upon the strangeness of thus pillowing the head of the man he had Just shot in cold blood. “Better?" he asked a trifle hoarsely. | “Oh, yes—that I3, I—don't mind— much.” “Would you like—wlisky?” The outlaw managed to move his head In assent, aud Carter after put- ting his hand carefully to his hip pocket for his flagk, held the liquor to his Hps “1 don’'t know to—prolong it—hut n to,” mut tered the sufferer, as Carter set down the flask. “That eternal fight for iife why is it?

She was bareheaded and flushed, and the love of life burned from her eyes. The concluding strains of her song trembled for an instant on her parted lips. then died there. “Don't be alarmed, but there has been an accident,” her brother was saying. “See, dear, he was coming to | you. But he carrled a weapon—the | man-hunt, you know-—and the weapon i foll accidently to the ground. It went —oft.” But even before he had finished spenking the girl had turned a deaf | ear to him, and with the sublime cour- age of womanhood had pushed him ‘uuldv until she hersell pillowed the | gufferer’s head.
