"With that there came a yell from the loft overhead.
Bending low to catch Chandler's fast crystallizing gaze, he pointed to the sleeping lady's door with a gesture so stern and significant that the prostrate man half-lifted his head, with his remaining strength, to see. He saw nothing; but he caught the cold words of the doctor the last sounds hie was to hear: "I never yet struck a woman." It were vain to attempt to con such men.

We'll furnish them," he told her. "I hope they don't try to make you carry a pistol, too." "A pistol?"

In the recess formed by the angle of the cliffs which contained her home, the usual bustle of the evening hours prevailed; and laughter, merry and boisterous, issued from a cave opposite that where Shotaye, concealed by folds of the half-lifted curtain, stood watching with eye and ear. In those caves fronting hers dwelt the family of Zashue, Say's husband.

"If you know what's wrong with that gun, you fix it! Fix it," he shouted, "or I'll " David was not concerned with the vengeance Carr threatened. For, on the instant a miracle had taken place.
