A Wife's Confessional Adele Gurrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE s, Madge S312a23tadetastesiitotiatetssid] Deduces a Clue glnvolvin Her Husbang Over and over again in the hours of Sunday after Dicky had gone back to his studlo in the city, and Mother Graham had settled down to wait as best she might for the developments of the coming Tues day, 1 pondered one question, Was it some secret concorning Dicky which had been brought to her by the mysterious tramp, who, I was sure by this time, was at- tempting to blackmail her? Loyalty to my husband prevented my answering the question in the affirmative, but after a mental jour- ney all around the problem, I was brought slowly but inevitably to the conclusion that all other possible avenues of explanation were plainly marked “No ighfare.” Send unior out to play in yard Mari e strict directions not to go out of sight of the windows, I walted un- til Mother Graham had settled her- elf for her nap bef locking myself in the room adjoin- ing hers and threshing out with myself the doubts and fears which revelation of her terror.had brought to me.

Gloster is jalled after getting into a fight with several men over a girl. Lee Haines comes to his rescue, holding up the sheriff while Glos- ter makes a dash for freedom. “Joan," presumably the daughter of Buck Daniels, an old recluse, also helps Glostgr in his escape, show- Ing him the way to safety, Halnes is struck down by a bullet and fatal- 1y wounded. In ilie seclusion of an 0ld cabin the dying man tells Joan the story of Dan Barry s an un- | usual, demonaic, fearless man of tho old west school. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “Why do you keep him?" “Because he's the best horse in' the mountains. That's one reason.

But he presently discovered that HE DREW TO A WALK AND DROPPED OUT OF THE SADDLE. the roan was begiming to slacken his efforts. His gallop was losing its elasticity, and his fore hoofs struck the earth with a lifeless beat which meant a very great deal to the rider. He recalled the sheriff — a lean and sun withered man who might well be fity pounds lighter than himself. Perhaps it was his weight which was killing the roan. Perhaps it was the great speed with which he had covered the first two | miles out from the town. No doubt, | both causes combined. But he pres- | ently was sure that he had Kkilled | the speed of the mount. He drew to a walk and dropped out of the saddle. The instant he struck the ground he saw how | much worse matters were than he| had dreamed. He had to draw the roan along by the reins. The poor animal dragged back on the bit with dull eycs and flagging ears, and his hoofs trailed in the dust; and he got his wind back slowness. | For a blown horse Is not like a blown man. Many a good athlete runs himself to a faint in a half mile race, lies ten minutes flat on muscle, and then arises to run a mile event and win it. But when the ribs of a horse begin to heave in a certain manner, his flanks bal- looning in and out, and when his head begihs to jerk down at every stride, 4 vest of a few minutes does him little good, Glosier contfnued walking uutil a duill and muftled pounding was plainly audible behind him, and he | knew that the pursuers were gain- ing fast, Then'he Lrought the roan to a trot and went forward at a smart clip, with the gelding beside | him, Perhaps he covcred a mile in | this fashion, but by that time the from the rear was very dis. | tinet and, he dared not linger any | more.

Glos- ter dropped inte it with a sigh of relief and raised the gelding to a gallop again. A moment later the dry ravine was filled with a clamor- ing as the whole posse swung in | behind him, and, with the good footing beneath them, they gained | upon him ut un appalling rate, They were sweeping around a curve fust behind and In ten sec- | onds they would have full view of him. And a view by the clear star- light would be almost as. good as a view in the day. Certainly they would open with their guns, and his own thigh was weighted by no re- volver, to say nothiug of a rifle un- | der his leg. He swung out of the saddle, bal- anced his welght on one stirrup for an instant, and then dropped to the ground. he tired gelding would have dropped back to a trot at once.
