And the uncou louable nooandrel dotted hln lutt and bowed to the right unit !f t with the suavity and blaudueas of a CbitttturQuld. "II you are a stranger like myself. what boHinutf brought yon to Aldine?" "I explained all that to 70a on the boat. My uncle sent me here to look op some valuable outton land that ia in tile nutrient, but," he added, shrewd enough to perceive the tangle in which I wan likuly to involve bira, "I deuline to be qaoscioiied any further by yon, though i am r-uudy to give tbeae gentlemen any information tbuy desire. " Nothing could bave been cleverer than liia manner and worda. Ilia announce Mint that be whi after cotton land waa paiwport to the good will of the coun tryine.11, iunt of whom were eagur to Bull their unproductive property. His glib atory of our traveling together on the steamer wua aooepted aa truth. "Then yoa deny Hilling me thut home yesterday?" I laid, floundering in the wordy mire into which I bad step ped. "Ob, I don't deny anything," he an swered with a bored air. "Tell your atory to these gentlemen. Yoa make me excessively weary. " It waa vain to dally with him. Stag gored fur the moment, I waa about to adrireai my worda to those around me, when Squire Oager, who had not yet spoken, interposed. lie was a conscien tious man, and, though he undoubtedly sympathized with me. did not sympa thize with the frightful fiction which be believed I was trying to weave. "I wish to auk this man a few ques tions, " he said, and the universal re spect felt for the officer of the law caus ed buHh to fall upon the angry throng. 1 bowed, suspecting what was coming. " Vou don't deny that you rode op to ibis hotel this afternoon on the chestnut guiding which Mr. Bulflnnh put into his stable at your request?" "I have already admitted that. I aft erward crossed to the postofilce and got a letter which was mailed from New York and addressed to me, Edward Kenmore." "And any of us might have done the same by asking for it, having arranged that little matter beforehand." aaid tlis squire, brushing aside this cobweb, "bat when yon came and sat down on the porch and talked with me and Mr. liuliinch we both addressed yon aa Hank Heyor." "Yon did," I replied, and the land lord nodded his bead in acquiescence. "Yon talked with na as if yon were Hunk Beyer. Yon spoke about your fa ther and asked questions of ns. Why didn't yon deny yon were Uauk Beyer at that time?" It was driving a nail into my coffin, and I knew my explanation would not be accepted by a single one of my bear ers. "I did foolish thing. I was amused by the mistake, and by way of fun I humored it You will recall that my question showed my ignorance, not ouly of your ufiuira, but of Uank Beyer's." "I believe yon protended something of iho kind," Tlio sqniro mournfully shook his hoad. lie wus through, having sen tenced uie, as may bo said, to capital punishment. "I do not deny, gentlemen, that the case looks bad against me. You have notioed that the man whom I pointed out by the door resembles me, except thut I wear a mustucheaud he duos not He had ono today, bnt shaved it off after we parted, probably foreseeing something like this. But I bave the right to nnk that before executing me yon make sure that I am really Hank Beyer, the horse thiof. " Which the same la what we have dons with tho help yon bave given ns," replied Jim Dunguu, with a siguifican grin in which the others joined. "It looks that way, but you are in error. Now, it is raxy for yoa to tele graph to certain parties whom I will name in New York and by whom I can establish my identity. You will do me that justice. If I fail to convince yon that I am what I claim, then do with me as yon wihh." "That request sounds fair," inter posed the squire, "bnt I'm sorry to say that the nearest telegraph station is at KouthnVld and with our bad roads it will take two days to go there and hack. I'm afraid," he added, looking round at the savage countenances, "that my friends will not be willing to wait that long." "No, not" came from nearly every ono in the room. "A good deal might happen in that time." "Ho wants a chance to give yon the slip," added the real Hank Beyer from his station by the door. "Why not let him have a chance for his life?" At that moment nothing was more evident than that every man crowded into the room was tny enemy. I looked around into the nnpitying faces and braced myself for the final struggle. which I believed could not be deferred. The mob were impatient that they had "lit vfintt a chnnrt to girt you (Ac slip." been balked so long of their prey. In msny portions of tho southwest the most heinous crime a person can commit is to steal horse. Beside that offense murder sinks into insignificance. It will be conceded that the circum stantial evidence against me was of the strongest character. My marvelous re seinMuure to the real criminal was Ir resistiMy convincing, and if anything was In king it bad been furnished by my iiliixy. Had I resented the mistake from the (tit it might have raised a possiHe question which would have caused a postponement of my execution. No man knows precisely how his own Voice sounds, but there must have been similarity between mine and Hank Beyer's or the difference was not mark ed, since it seemed to attract the atten tion of no one. Ouly ono hope remained I mnrt se nre a "star of proceedings" if but for limited time. But how was that to be out? I had already made the attempt Wm and been rebutted.
