(Continued from Saturday.)
"I wish I could mnnngc to run over
a few," muttered the doctor savagely.
As they nenretl the forks of the road
Dr. Emory pulled lu his horac3. A
heavy farm wagou hlocUed the way,
aud the driver was stolidly Indifferent
alike to his entreaties and to -Mc-Cllntoek's
threat to break his head for
him If ho didn't move on. They were
still shouting at him when a savage
crj swelled up from the throats of
those In ndvaucc. The murderer was
being brought lu from the east road.
"The brutes!" muttered the doctor,
aud he turned helplessly to McCllu
tock. "What are we going to do?
iWhat can we do?"
By way of answer McCUutock stood
up.
"I wish I could see Jim."
But Jim had taken the wc3t road
three houis before and was driving to
ward Bairow's ftiwinllls as fast as
McEIroy's best team could take him.
When he reached there It was enough
to mnko one's blood run cold to hear
the good man curse.
"You wait hero, doctor," cried Mc
CUutock. "You can't get past, and
they hcein to bo coming this way now."
"Look out for yourself, Milt."
"Never fear for me."
He jumped down Into the dusty,
trampled load and foot by foot fought
his way forward.
As ho hnd said, thoso In front wcro
turning back. The result was n hor
rible jam, for those behind were still
struggling to get within sight of the
murderer. A drunken ' man at Mc
Cllntock's elbow was shouting, "Lynch
him!" at the top of his lungs.
The mnster mechanic wrenched an
arm free and struck at him with the
flat of his hand. The man appeared
surprised, but not at all angry. Ho
merely wiped the blood from his lips
and asked in an injured tone, which
conveyed a mild reproof: "What did
you want to do that for? I don't know
you." And ns he sought to maintain
his place at McClintock's side ho kept
repeating: "Say, neighbor, i don't know
you. You certainly got the advantage
of me."
Soon McCllntock was In the very
thick of tho mob, and then ho saw the
captive. His bauds were bound, and
ho was tied with ropes to the front
seat of a buckboard drawn by two Jad
ed horses. Ills captors were threo Iron
Jawed, hard faced countrymen. They
wcro armed with shotguns and weio
enjoying their splendid triumph to tho
full.
McCllntock gave only ono look at tho
prisoner. An agony of fear was on
lihn. Tho collar of his shirt was stiff
with blood from a wounded face. His
hat was gone, mid his coat was torn.
Scared and wondering, Ids eyes shifted
uneasily over the crowd.
But the one look sufllccd McCllntock,
aud he lost all Interest the scene.
There would bo no lynching that
night, for tho man was not Itoger Oak
ley, rurthor than that, he was gray
hatred and burly. He was ns unllko
tho old convict as ono man could well
bo unllko another.
Suddenly the cry was raised: "It ain't
him! You follows got tho wrong man!"
Tho cry was taken up and bandied
back down tho road. Tho mob drew a
great, free breath of rejoicing. It be
came good uatured with n noisy hilar!-
Ills captors uere three iron jawed, hard
faced countrymen.
1y. Tho iron Jawod countrymen glanced
around sheepishly,
"You nro sure about thatV" ono in
quired, "IIo auswers tho description
nil light,"
It was hard to have to abandon tho
Wen of tho rewards, "What havo you
been doing to hlni?" asked half a dozen
voices lu chorus. Thoy olt a frleudly

I interest In tlie poor bound wretch In
the buckboard. Perhaps, too. they
wore grateful to hhn because ho was
tho wrong man.
"Oh, nothing much," uneasily, "ouly
ho put up a good fight."
"Of course ho did. Ho didn't want
to be hanged!" And there was a good
natured roar from the crowd. Already
thoso uearcst the prisoner were reach
lug up to throw off tho ropes that
bound him. Ills captors looked on In
stupid surprise, but did not seek to
Interfere.
Tho prisoner himself, now that ho
saw ho was surrounded by well wish
ers and, being in a somewhat surly
temper, which was pardonable enough
I uuder the circumstances, fell to com-
plalulng bitterly ana louuiy or me
treatment ho had received. Presently
the mob began to disperse, some to
slink back Into town, rather ashamed
of their fury, while the ever lengthen
ing procession which had followed the
four men In the buckboard since early
In the day faced nbout nnd drdVe otr
Into tho night.
An hour afterward the prisoner was
airing his grievances In sagacious Mr.
Britt's saloon, whither he had been
conveyed by the latter gentleman, who
had been quick to recognize that, tem
porarily at least, ho possessed great
drawing powers. He was only a bat
tered vagabond on his way east from
the harvests lu tho Dakota wheatflelds,
and ho knew that he had looked Into
the very eyes of death.
CHAPTEIt XIX.
WHEN Boger Oakley fled from
Antloch on the night of the
murder he wns resolved
that, happen what might, ho
would not be taken.
For half an hour he traversed back
alleys and giass grown "side streets,"
scoln? no ono and unseen, nnd present
ly found himself to tho north of tho
rown.
Then he sat down to rest and con
sider the situation.
IIo was on tho hinooth, round top of
a hillside. At his back were woods and
liDlds, while down In the hollow below
hhn, beyond n middle space that was
neither town nor country, I.e saw tho
lights of Antloch twinkling among tho
treej. Dannie was there somewhere,
wondering why ho did not return.
Nearer at hand, across n narrow lane,
whore the ragweed nnd jlmson and
pjl.i'berry nourished rankly, was tho
ccaiutory.
The night was profoundly still, until
suddenly the town bell rang tho alarm.
Tho old convict's face 111 inched at the
sound, and he came slowly to his feet.
The hell rang on. Ti.e lights among
tho trees grew In number, dogs barked,
theio wfts tho murmur of voices. Ho
clapped ill -t hands to his ears aud
plunged Into the woods.
lie had no clear Idea of where he
was going, but all night long ho plod
ded steadily forward, his one thought
to he as far from Antloch as possible
by morning. When at last morning
came, with Its song of half awakened
birds and Its level streaks of light
piercing tho gray dawn, ho remem
bered that ho was hungry nnd that lie
had eaten nothing since noon the day
before. Ho stopped nt tho llrst farm
liouso ho came to for breakfast, and
at his request the fanner's wife put up
a lunch for him to cany away.
It was nlidit again when ho reached
Barrow's Sawmills. Ho ventured
boldly Into tho ono general store aud
made a number of purchases. Tho
stoiekeeper was frankly curious to
learn what ho was doing and wliero ho
was going, but the old convict mot his
questions with surly reserve.
When ho lett the btoio he took the
ono road out of the place, and half n
inilo fnither on forsook tho road for
the woods.
It was nearly midnight when he went
into camp. IIo built a flro and toasted
some thin strips of bacon. IIo made
his supper of these and a few crackers.
He realized that ho must harbor hla
slender stock of provisions.
IIo had told himself over nnd over
taut ho was not lit to live among men.
IIo would havo to dwell ulono like a
dangerous animal, hhunnhig his fel
lows. The solitude ami tho loneliness
suited him. Ho would mnko a perma
nent camp somewhere closo to tho
lakes, In tho wildest spot ho could find,
and end his days there.
IIo carried In his pocket a small rail
road map of tho state, and In tho
morning, after a careful study of It,
marked out his course. That day, aud
for several days following, ho plodded
on nnd on In n tireless, patient fash
ion, and with but the briefest stops nt
uoon for his meager lunch. Bach morn
ing ho wns up aud on his way with tho
llrst glimmer of light, nnd ho kept his
even pace until tho glow faded from
tho sky lu tho west.
Beyond Barrow's Sawmills tho pluo
woods stretched uwny to tho north In
ono unbroken wilderness. At long In
tervals ho passed loggers' camps and
more rarely a farm lu tho forest, but
ho avoided these. Instinct told hltu
that tho news of Byder's murder hail
traveled far and wide. Iu nil that
range of couutry there was no Inhabit
ed soot where ho dare show Uls face,
