Then leaning down he unbuckled the strap from the major’s ankles. A wild hope that his incomprehensible captive might seize that moment to develop his real intent; that he might fly, fight or in some way act up to his reckless reputa tion sustained him for a moment, but VIA in the next proved futile.

Already the sting and smart of acrid fumes were in their eyes and nostrils. When they at last stood on level ground again, it was bidden by a thin film of grayish blue haze that seemed to be creeping along it. But above was the clear sky, seen through the interlacing boughs, and to their surprise they who had just come from the breathless, stagnant hillside a fierce wind was blowing. But the .•oaring was louder than before. “Unless your three men are already here your game is up, ” said the major calmly. "The wind blows dead along the ridge where they should come, and they can’t get through the smoke and fire.” It was indeed true. In the scarce 20 minutes that had elapsed since the sher iff’s return the dry and brittle under- "Go on.

"That, ” he said. “In five minutes it will have a posse that will wipe us out. ” He caught the major by the arm and rushed him into the smoke and appar ently in the direction of the greatest mass of flame. The heat was suffocat ing, but it struck the major that the more they approached the actual scene of conflagration the heat and smoke be came less until he saw that the fire was retreating beforo them and the follow ing wind. In a few moments their haven of safety—the expanse already burned over—came in sight Here and there seen dimly through the drifting smoke tho scattered embers that still strewed the forest floor in weird, nebulous spots, like will-o’-the-wisps. For an instant the major hesitated. The sheriff cast a significant glance behind them. “Go on. It’s our only chance, ” he said imperatively. They darted on, skimming the black ened or smoldering surface, which at times struck out spark and flame from their heavier footprints as they passed. Their boots crackled and soorched be neath them. Their shreds of clothing were on fire. Their breathing became more difficult until providentially they fell upon an abrupt, fissurelike depres sion of the soil which the fire had leap ed and into which they blindly plunged and rolled together. A moment of relief end ooolness followed as they crept along the fissure, filled with damp and rotting leaves. “Why not stay here?” said the ex hausted prisoner. ‘ ‘And be roasted like sweet potatoes when these trees catch?” returned the sheriff grimly. “No.” Even as he spoke a dropping rain of fire spattered through the leaves from a splintered redwood before overlooked that was now blazing fiercely in the upper wind. A vague and nndefinable terror was in the air. The conflagration no longer seemed to obey any rule of direction. They scram bled out of the hollow and again dash ed desperately forward. Beaten, bruised, blackened and smoke grimed, looking less human than the animals who had long since deserted the crest, they at hist limped into a “wind opening” In the woods that the fire had skirted. The major sank ex- haustedly to the ground. The sheriff threw himself beside him. Their strange relations to each other 6eemed to have been forgotten. They looked and acted as if they no longer thought of anything beyond the present And when the sher iff finally arose, and, disappearing for several minutes, brought his hat full of water for his prisoner from a distant spring that they had passed in their flight, he found him where he had left him, unchanged and unmoved. He took the water gratefully and after a pause fixed his eyes earnestly upon his captor. “I want you to do a favor to me, ” he said slowly. “I’m not going to offer you a bribe to do it either nor ask you anything that isn’t in line with your duty. I think I understand you now if I didn’t before. Do you know Briggs’ restaurant in Saoramen- to?” The sheriff nodded. “Well, over tbe restaurant are my private rooms—the finest in Sacramen to. Nobody knows it but Briggs, and he has never told. They’ve been locked ever since I left. I’ve got the key still in my pocket Now, when we get to Sacramento instead of takinginestraight to jail I want you to hold me there as your prisoner for a day and a night. I don’t want to get away. You can take what precautions you like—surround the house with policemen and sleep yourself in the anteroom. I don’t want to destroy any papers or evidenoe. You can go through the rooms and examine everything before and after. I only want to stay there a day and a night I waut to be in my old rooms, have my meals from the restaurant as I used to and sleep in my own bed once more. I want to live for one day like a gentle man, as I used to live before I came here. That’s all. It isn’t much, Tom. You can do it and say you require to do it to get evidence against me or that you want to search the rooms. ” The expression of wonder which had come into the sheriff’s face at the begin ning of his speech deepened into his old look of surly dissatisfaction. “And that’s all you want,” he said gloomily. “You don’t want "no friends—no lawyer? For I tell you straight out, major, there ain’t no hope far ye when tho law onco gets hold of you in Sacramento. ” “That’s all. Will you do it?” The sheriff’s face grew still darker. After a pause be said: “I don’t say ’no,’ and I don’t say 'yes. ’ But, ” he added grimly, “it strikes me we’d better wait till we get clear of these woods before you think of your Sacramento lodgings. ’ ’ The major did not reply. The day had worn on, but the fire, now completely encircling them, opposed any passage in or out of that fateful barrier. The smoke of the bunring underbrush hung low around them in a bank equally impene trable to vision. They were as alone as shipwrecked sailors on an island girdled by a horizon of clouds. “I’m going to try to sleep,” 6aid the major. “If your men come, you can waken me. ” “And if your men come?” said the sheriff dryly. "Shoot me.” He lay down, closed his eyes, and to tbe sheriff’s astonishment presently fell asleep. Tbe sheriff, with his chin in his grimy hands, sat and watched him as the day slowly darkened around them and the distant fires came out in more lurid intensity. The face of the captive and outlawed murderer was singularly peaceful; that of the captor and man of duty was haggard, wild and perplexed. But even this changed soon. The sleeping man stirred restlessly and un easily, his face began to work, his lips to move. “Tom!” he gasped suddenly. “Tom!” The sheriff bent over him eagerly. The sleeping man’s eyes were still closed. Beads of sweat stood upon his forehead. He was dreaming. “Tom,” he whispered, “take me out of this place—take me out from those dogs and pimps and beggars! Listen, Tom—they’re Sydney Duck’s ticket of leave men, short card sharps and sneak thieves! There isn’t a gentleman among ’6m. There isn’t one I don’t loathe and hate and wouldn’t grind under my heel elsewhere. I’m a gentleman, Tom —yes, by God—an officer and a gentle man! I’ve served my country in the Ninth cavalry. That cub of West Point knows it and despises me, seeing me here in such company. That sergeant knows it—I recommended him for his first stripes—for all he taunts me, d—n him!” “Come, wake up!” said the sheriff harshly. The prisoner did not heed him. The sheriff shook him roughly, so roughly that the major’s waistcoat and shirt dragged open and disclosed his fine silk undershirt, delicately worked and em broidered with golden thread. At the sight of this abased and faded magnifi cence the sheriff’s hand was staid. His eye wandered over the sleeping form be fore him. Yes, the hair was dyed, too; near the roots it was quite white and grizzled; the pomatum was coming off the pointed mustache and imperial; the face in that light was very haggard; “I depend on you, Donoghue,” said ' ‘You’re in your sates aisy and comfort able, ’ he says, ‘when ye should be on Mrs. Sterns, looking keenly at the fore- | your knees.
