Waiting for its repetition he looked around. No habitation was in sight, nothing but an unbroken desolation of rocks and timber. v! Sassy!

It would be cruel and unmanly to do so.” The negress still violently gestured him to go away, and muttered unintelli- gible words.

The last rays of the descend- ing sun streamed in unchecked, and an- other guest than those who had toiled up the steep path was coming, was very near, could not be barred out, and to mortals he was known as Death.

Why I thus buried myself must be buried with me. The world called me a murderer; I called the act justice. I was doomed to death, but a golden key will open prison locks and shoe the swiftest of horses. By night I fled, came here and—that is enough.”, “Still,” suggested Middleton, “‘now that death is near, you may have some- thing you wonld like done, something to bo attended to after you are gone.” **Nothing, noth —yes, this.
