I heard footsteps, and presently a light fixed to the porch showed me the face of Mr. Barker, who was walking along the Idewalk.

Kot a person except he and I was I to the streets. I saw him pass to the I ntsklrts of the town. I lost him in the shadow of a barn, and he did not emerge for several minutes. When he id he turned to come back, and I hid myseir behind a fragment of a fence. Be passed very close to me, and I was about to follow him when I saw a light In the opposite direction.

Several years before a young man named Gawtry had been tried and convicted of committing these 'Tery crimes. lie was torn from a young wife and babe and sent to prison i for a term of fifteen years.
