ETC.  Tho Miner's statement., published  last week, showing the almost hopeless condition of this district in tho  mutter of public wagon roads und  trails has attracted great attention,  and has been read with some alarm by  owners of mineral claims in the outlying camps.- Tbey now realize how  shabbily they have been treated by the  i3.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd-,,.;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:..i     -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd     -_.i.   l-,,,-.,.,  that the development of their property  is thus seriously retarded. Le t thc  gold commissioner expend the SKl.OUO  at his disposal ever so wisely, he cannot possibly begin to satisfy the mini -  erous petitions that lie in liis oflice.  Although the open season has barely  commenced, thai official. litis already  received requests for lho construction  of roads, trails and bridges that would  cost nearly $S,0,000. In each instance  thc petitions are fully warranted, and  should be immediately grunted.  Tbe Turiier administration cannot  plead'ignorance of thc. condition of  things. This journal ropontedly remarked at the commencement of the  that were to bo built to properties  owned by these legalized highwaymen.  Tbe. .Administration would have supplied tbe scheme in the house but  dreaded to face lhe Opposition. Since,  the legislature was prorogued the  government seems to have gained j  courage, and is evidently preparing to |  introduce the matter al. llie lirst. op-1  pDi'tunily. Tbe organ of lho ringsters,  the A'ictoria. Colonist, has already  commenced the unholy crinade. In a  ong editorial iL acknowledges the  inability of lhe Turner government to  give thu country a salisfactory liii.in-  cial policy, and iinbliishiiigly proceeds  to advocate the cause of its masters.  Continuing, the organ says il has  yet to bear the first objection to the  scheme.  On behalf of the struggling prospectors, claim owners and taxpayers of  Kootenay who cannot afford l.o pay  the expenses of lobbisfs in Victoria,  the MiM-i. registers a solemn and  emphatic protest against the introduction of such a nionstcroiis and intolerable imposition. Is it not enough that  the people of this district pay one-  eighth ol: the entire revenue of the\"  Province, and receive little or nothing  in return'* In the name of justice,  why should lhey be made to pay it  double? Of all classes, the pioneer  deserves tbe greatest encouragement:  ho should be the last called upon to  boar the burden of taxation. The  very enterprise he displays should be  sulUcient guarantee that he would ha-  the least likely to shirk the payment  of reasonable taxes as soon as be is  established on sonic tinancial basis.  Because of the prospector, the greatest industry of the province has been  established, and il will be by his untiring energy and fearless disregard of  hardship and privation that the mineral resources of British Columbia will  grow to an infinitely greater importance.  Thc people of this district are bitterly opposed to the proposals of the  Colonist.  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'This, to my mind, i.s a most legitimate enterprise.\"  Judging solelv from the facts of the  case herein presented, thoro are substantial grounds i'or belief that Expert  T. Currie Gregory is of lho yellow-legged variety. The results obtained by all  the dredging companies that have  hitherto all.einpted to win gold from  tho I'Ynser do not indicate great success for the developnient, of lho company's ieased ground. The method  has been repeatedly tried at vario'.is  points ,between Yale and Kamloops,  but ,in each instance the operators  have, failed lo save gold in paying  quantities.' Ko far as the hydraulic  claims are concerned, the value, iniisi.  he considered as highly problematical.  To save himself from being classed  as deplorably ignorant of mining matters generally and h'raser river placer  niining in particular, or as an irresponsible schemer, JNir. Gregory should  have been decidedly more explicit before prating about the, legitimacy of  the enterprise.  This is clearly another case of overcapitalization. It i.s safe to say that'  the vendors would have been well paid  if they received JjiGO.OOO instead of aEGO,-  000. The company has followed thc  example of the. Galena Mines, limited,  and Mr. Crant-Govan'spet scheme, the  Gold Fields of 'British Colnmbia, and  the development of the mining industry of Ibis Province is seriously  threatened thereby. II. is lime to call  a hah. Tho. jMiNi.K simply expresses  popular sentiment when it denounces  such imbusiiicss-likeattempts to interest tho investing public of Europe.  They can only bo detrimental to all  legitimate ell'ort to interest English  capital in this district. It goes without saying that outside money is  absolutely essential to placo our undeveloped mineral resources on a paying basis. Uut how can we hope to  succeed in this respect if attempts are  constantly made t.o entrap foreign  capitalists into paying live times a.s  much as properties aro worth?.  last legislative session that Kootenay  ' needed a substantial appropriation for  roads, streets, trails, . wharves and  bridges, and suggested that at least  .$100,000 be voted for such purposes.  Mr. J. Fred II11 me, _M. P. P., also  strongly recommended a very material increase over the sum similarly  voted at the. previous session. J lad  these suggestions been favorably considered by IheMinisteralists, Kootenay  would still.have received less in proportion to thc revenue she contributes  than aiiy other district.  That the government is absolutely  indifferent to\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe welfare of poor,  struggling miners is ton well known to  reiterate here. The .ring at Victoria  i-4 loo .busy charter - inongering  and borrowing money for wildcat  railways like the Huffolnlel-Qucsnelle  scheme to attend lo legitimate public  needs.  The MiXi-ii believes that, tho administration's policy of -injustice to  Kootenay will \"not slop at beggarly  -..appropriations. AVe may expect somc-  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd thing infinateiy worse. The \"Ministerialists fully reali\/.e that they have  no support in this district, and that  they will experience .a terrible defeat  at the next general elections. As the  end draws near, their boldness increases. Kootenay i.s the only prosperous   district -that   has   not    boon  THE    B 0 UN DA R Y   I fNF..  The attention of the-Foderai government has been directedtothe fact that  a remarkable complication has arisen  in regard to the boundary line between British Columbia and tho Stale  of AVashington. It appears that for  a considerable distance in the Boundary creek and Grand Prairie regions  there is evidence of two linos havimr  boon surveyed, marked and cut out.  Those lines aro about 100 yards apart:  both, itis stated, arc equally well cut  out, anil were apparently run about  file same time. But tho monuments  on the northern lino are pulled down  very completely, while those on the  south lind are standing in good condi-,  tion. To the oast of Boundary crook  tho monuments are in ruins on the  south line, and aro standing on the  _npr_tJi._li.ii(i,^\\vhiliLjit_l.JjHni.dai:y_f:i-(!_o.k-  there are niomimentsstandingon both  linos. Al Grand Prairie the land is.  farmed by United States citizens up to  the north line. There is nothing of  record at Ottawa in connection with tlio  survey of the international boundary  which would'throw any light upon  this complication, and the condition  of affairs is one which may possibly  lead to-grave trouble, especially in  view of the fact that this portion of  the boundary is in the immediate  neighborhood of the recently discovered rich mineral deposits of the Kootenay mining region. To fullyascortain  the meaning of this duplication of  lines it' will be necessary to obtain  from the Imperial authorities a copy  of the Held notes of the line which  was surveyed by the Royal* engineers,  in concert with a United States commission, about thirty-live years agy.  This will be done.  ANOTHER-   LONDON \"DEAL.\"  The prospectus ofthe New Fraser  River Gold .Mint's, limited, has  beon recently issued to Knglisli investors.

The Federal government would be respecting the wishes of  tbo lax payors of tbis portion of file  Dominion if a postofiice inspector wero  appointed who would nol constantly  require newspaper prodding in order  to do his simple duty.  .

However, we must not forgot the fact that almost any poet  would be running up against a pretty  bard formation in endeavoring lo Iind.  a word to rhyme with silver, and-tho  use of the word hyena in order to  match a line about galena would still  leave something to bo desired.  The proposal of Edward Boyce. the  ranting, demagogic loader of.a United  States .labor'. association, dhat the  miners of the West should form themselves into an armed organization in  order to light tho laws of their  country indicates a vory deplorable  state of the constitutional and political condition existing in tho Land of  the Free.

It is tbo duty of the newspapers of  Rossland, Trail and Bovolstoke \"to  closely watch thc government's conduct in this 'matter for the current  vear.  Nelson's chief of police, Seneca 0.

(551)  Ww_-  ALIJNUU1JNG1NM0SINEE  (All RiRlits Reserved.)  The Dimblebats were defeated, the  Ripupngins were victorious, and Mosinee,  like countless other towns that night was  in an uproar ot jubilation such as hail not  heen seen since the celebration of the great  Diniblebat victory of 1SS\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd, after successive  defeats for a quarter of a century.  Every saloon yawned like a crater and  uttered noises like the mouth of hell.  Laughter was loud, and now and then the  shrill convulsive whoop of a drunken lumberman rose above the clamor, the trample,  the clatter of passing teams and the braying of tin horns.  All the county was in Mosinee. The  Ripupngins had assembled for the parade,  nnd the Dimblebats were there to look on  and jeer. It was the day after the presi-  dcntial election. New York bad been carried, and that settled it. The parade was  hurried forward at once, and preparations  for speeches and bonfires went forward  simultaneously. \"Vory little business was  doing. All trade, all talk was of the election and its results.  Dan Clark, the sheriff (and a Diniblebat),  was not depressed. As he sat at supper  with his wife, in the county jail, that  night, lie said, prophetically: \"Just you  wait, Annie. They're goin' to pass a high  tariffi bill, and then you'll hear sumtliiu'  drop.   The people won't stand it.\"  Mrs. Clark was a' small woman with a  round firm face and piercing blue eyes,  with littlo outward indication of the  courage she was known to possess.  \"Are you goin' out again to-night?\" she  asked.  \"Yes, I'm a little afraid of trouble.   The  town is full of hands from   the  mills and  camps, and the saloons are all open. Why?.  \"Want 'o go down and see the parade?\"  \"Xo; but somethin' is going on in there.\"  She nodded her head toward the prison  part of the house.  \"So?   What makes you think so?\"  \"Well, they've been pretty lively in  there\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsingin' a good deal, and I've caught  Jack and Shorty talkin' to each other  suspiciously.\"  \"Confound'em! What do they take on  to-night for? \"Well, I won't begone long.  I'll look in, before going down.\"  . As they ate their supper, the far-off  clanging of the prisoners' voices could be  heard as they sang in their cells. It was a  wild sound, but Mrs. Clark was used to it,  and paid attention to it only as one might  study the moan of the wind as a sign of  'YOirr_.--Tii  I-ET-X-I-OOK-IXG-  MA^TVl-:  VOI!.\"    -  tho weather. She was almost as renowned  as Dan; for once, alone.' slie had quelled a  murderous row, and at the point of a revolver had driven six escaping convicts  back into their cells. Like many county  jails in the west, the building was divided  into dwelling and prison by a heavy wall  cutting the building through the middle.  A heavy door opened from thc hall of the  dwelling into a main corridor running, at  right angles'to the wall of the house. .This  main corridor was in turn separated -from  the corridor before the cells by a heavy  iron grating. There were two stories of  cells, and during the day the prisoners had  tlie run of the entire prison proper.  The change from Mrs. Clarke's pleasant  dining room, to this prison, was as sudden  a.s it was gruesome. A dim light at noonday, a sepulchral light at night, a cold  clammy place at all hours; badly ventilated, having that inde\/iliable, sickening  odor which becomes an intolerable horror  to the sensitive prisoner; and, worst of all,  nothing for the convicts to do. Their  quarters were clean, in a way, food abundant enough, but no employment. Modern  civilization is slow in finding its way into  a county jail and almshouse. In such an  atmosphere guilty, men (not to mention  possible innocent cases),*grow sullen, morbid, bitter, even insane, and go back to  the open sunlight educated to crimes. If  such prisons were once excusable,-they are  so no longer.   _  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  As.Clark rose to go into the jail he could-  liear the song beginning again. He listened a little, critically. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.  \"They're all right. A little excited,  that's all. They hear the noise outside,  and it stirs 'em up.\"  lie appeared to be speaking of a den of  leopards. .    \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \"As lie opened the door, the song burst  through, hollow, reverberating, thrillingly  wild: \" '  \"Liijlit in the darkness, sailor, ^  Day is at hand!\"  These were the words, but the singers  managed to give   theni   the ferocity aud  abandon of a robber's glee in ii resounding  cove. Each man stood at the door of his  cell, his face to the little grated window;  thus eacli cell was a voice, and the iron  walls vibrated liko a violin. >-  x\\s the door opened, some one gave a  piercing whistle and \" instantly all fell  silent.  \"Hello, boys, what's the row ?\"  \"Our evening hymn, Dan,\" said a voice  from the open tier of cells.  \"Well, don't say y*r prayers in that same  key.   Want the latest?*'  \"Yes, yes. Let's have it,\" shouted a  half-dozen voices.  \"The Rips are iii it.   New York goes\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"  Some of the fellows cheered, others  doubted.    \"Is it settled?*'  \"Well, yes. . Xew York Herald concede*  the victory.\"  \"Well, that settles it.\"  j     \"What's goin'   on in  town to-night?\" j  asked one voice eagerly, wistfully. j  '\".Parade,\"  said   Dan.    \"Now   no   more  questions and don't make any more  noise  than is necessary.\" I  j     \"They're all right,\" he reported to his  j \"ffife.   \"But I'll conic buck  early.   Keep j  your ear to the tube, and if you hear any- |  thing suspicious,   send   Julia  down  to \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Jim's.\"  When he got out into the street he found  everybody else1 there, and the procession  was nearly formed. Torches were flying  here and there, the bandmaster was bugling the \"fall in,\" and the main street  roared \\vitli voices, in song, in whoop, and  in jest.  The electric lights sputtered, dying almost out at times, to the derisive groans of  the crowd. They had but lately been put  up, and every evidence of failure was  hailed with joy by some, and with dismay  by others.  Just behind the baud Capt. Frank Wil-  ley, the master of ceremonies, had dismounted, and was arranging the boys' brigade, which was to lead. Willey was a  cashier in tlie bank, and oue of the finest  men of the town, an almost universal favorite. Handsome, In his slouch hat,  gold-braided coat, and liis graceful dark  red sash, ho was a great figure in the eyes  of the boys, who held their flaring torches  aloft with the gesture of veterans.  The crowd around the band was so thick  it forced the passers-by into the gutter,nnd  the captain was saying, as the band struck  up:  \"Sprwid out, gentlemen. Don't crowd  people onto the boys.   Ali ready!\"  A figure reeled oil* the sidewalk, toward  the captain, with ii revolver in his hand.  \"Damn you, you're tlie man I've been  looking for,\" be said, as he fired.  The captain stiffened in his tracks,  wavered a moment and fell.  \"Take that!\" snarled the murderer again,  as he fired a last shot and flung tlie revolver at the captain's face\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthen turned and  walked away.  The unexpected finds men powerless to  stir, and the fifty men who saw it stood appalled, unable to cry out or move till the  man had passed on into the crowds further  up the street.  Then a wild crv arose.  \"Murder!\"  \"Man killed!\"  \"Stop 'im\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddon't let him escape!\"  The hoarse cry of murder reached  Sheriff Clark, who was sonic distance  down the street, talking with the city  marshal.  '\"Trouble, Joe, come on!\" cried Dan.  They rushed toward the sound of the cries.  There was a struggling mass of men. just  ahead of the band. Curses, wild cries and  commands came from the group. Another  smaller, silent swarm was concentrated  around something on tlie ground across  the street. Clark and the marshal rushed  into tiie struggling mass.  Some one yelled: \"The sheriff! Stand  off!\" and the crowd gave way before Dan's  furious strokes as he fought his way toward the centre.  \"Kill hiin! Smash .'im!\" yelled voices  hoarse with passion.  \"Give 'im to me!\" shouted Dan.  As he laid bunds ou the wild-eyed, pallid, struggling wretch, foam was ou his  lips, his teeth were clenched, his face was  bloody, his neck bare. He had been knocked down and trampled upon by the mob.  --He-elung-to-Daiunstiiictlvely,-but-rem:iiii--  perf'ectly silent. -  \"Get out o' the way!\" yelled tlie marshal.  \"We'll tako cave o' him. What's tlie  matter?\"  \"He's shot Willey.\"  A wild clamor of . voices hurst out together: \"I saw him!\" \"Kill the hellion  c, !   Lynch '111!\"  \"Clear the track!\" command Dan. \"I'll  take care of him. Marshal, you look after  Willey.   Clear the way, there!\"   -  He rushed the panting assassin through  the crowd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor rather along with the  crowd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtoward tho jail, whieh was only a  shortdistance away. 'The prisoner mado  no resistance, and said nothing. He appeared dazed. As tlie sheriff got a little  in advance, the crowd thinned, and he hurried his prisoner faster. Tlie curious,  furious throng was divided; part remained  to see what became of the murdered man,  and more careless and more youthful ran  along beside Dan ns they had often followed a circus. Lverybody thought (lie case  exaggerated, for few hud heard the shot in  the tumult.  They followed, however, up to the very  door, and there were several voices crying:  \"Lynch the cowardly son of a dog!\"  \"Keep your hands off,\" said Dan in a  significant tone, as he waited for the door  to open. .\"The law. '11 look out for this  feller. -Don't worry.\"  \"The law\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdyes. Some damn tricky lawyer '11 git him off with ten years, just like  the\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" 'The speaker's words were lost in  the mutter of assent which rose. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  When tlie door swung close behind them,  Dan turned and looked at his prisoner.  \"Whatis.it, Dan?\" \"asked Annie. The-  prisoners now were perfectly silent, hoping  to hear about the arrest. - a  \"O, a little row.?' Dan- said, carelessly..  \"Come in here, young feller.\"  The man wasdressed like a lumberman,  in a gay 1-Mackinaiy'' jacket, with trousers  of the same material, and red stockings of  felt whicli came nearly to his knees.. He  was a lithe and powerful man, with a sullen face, now that the look of mortal fear  was passing from it. He was dazed and  breathless, and made no resistance as Dan  thrust liim into a lower cell. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  ''What's up, Dan?\" asked the convict.  \"Some drunks fighting,\" Dan replied,  in a-tone \"that silenced further inquiry,  though they knew a drunk would not  be brought to' the county jail. He tried  sill the doors of the cells to see that they  were secure, then joined his wife.  . '\"I'm going down the street again. They  need me. There's five thousand men out  there, half of'em full of whisky, and Joe  can't handle 'em alone.\"  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd    \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"- II.  Five hundred men within a minute  passed the word down the street: \"Frank  Willey's shot!\"  All order disappeared. The parade broke  into a disordered mass, hastening toward  the band.   The boys' brigade, the center ol  the mass, illumined with their flaring  torches the wash and restless surge of humanity. -\\  From every direction sii-:i>ms of men  debouched into the main strev.t like a  spring overflow. Women and children  lined the sidewalks.  \"Who done it?\" shouted  furious voicci.-,  \"Some damn Diniblebat, of course.\"  \"Where is he?\"  \"Clark run'im into the jail.\"     - :  \"Where's Willey?   Is he livin'?\"  \"Ves.   He's in the drug store.\"  Then a sort of silence fell on tlie crowd.  Tliey stood in dense groups .surrounding  some eyewitness of the shooting. From  timo to time news emanated from the drug  store.  \"He's bad. They've sent for his wife.\"  Then the talk would go back to the  prisoner.  \"What in God's heavens any man has  against Frauk Willey I don't see.\"  A carriage drove up through tlie, crowd  with a white-faced woman in it. The  moaning hysterical sobs went to the heart  like the thrust of a jagged knife. Tbey  stood aside in awe of her grief as she hurried into thc store by two men.  \"My God! Just think what's on her!-'  was the universal comment of the crowd  surged against the door.  \"Stand back there! Don't crowd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"  There came a piercing shriek that  made every man shiver as if an icy blast,  had blown on his naked heart. Theu  the word cameout and was flung from lip  to lip.  \"He's dead!\"  \"What? No!\"  \"Willey's dead! He didn't know her.\"  Few questioned it, coming after the  wife's cry. Men stood staring into each  others' faces and swearing great oaths,  helplessly.  \"Frank Willey dead!\" sobbed one great  bearded fellow, his voice high and broken.  \"Why, my God, gentlemen, he stood  right here ten minutes ago\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI had my hand  on his shoulder.\"  Nobody laughed at his crying\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthere  were too many with tears on tlieir cheeks.  Everybody knew the captain; everybody  had felt the pressure of his hand! Some  had been his comrades in the war. Some  of the young fellows were in the militia  which be commanded\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall loved him.  Tlio street grew darker as the torches  went out. The crowd agaiii broke into  knots. - \"He ought to hang to-morrow  morning,\" was a remark made hero and  there.  \"We ought to 'a' lynched him when we  had him.\"  Airs. Willey. in that utter despair which  is like the surrender of life, was carried  out to the hack and taken away. The men  silently looked on.  Hut as the carriage disappeared up the  street, a crowd of men came out of a  saloon, and there arose a-strident, overtopping, ferocious voice in a far-reaching  howl.  \"Kvery man that's got any sand, follow  me.\"  '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhere to?\"  .\"To the jail to hang that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd   Scores of voices replying cut  off his terrible oaths.  \"That's right.   The  jail.   Smash it in!'  \"Come on, you cowards!\"  Like a mass of logs let looso in a swift  current, the \"pack\" of men began to move  down the street toward the jail. As they  moved they gathered strength. Each man  seeing his neighbor moving moved with  less fear. A sort of inhuman joy aud elation came into their souls; many of them  felt.like singing as they marched.  Dan and Annie were standing on tho  steps of the jail, listening.  \"There's no telling what they'll do,\" he  was saying as he heard some of the wild  voices. Tliey heard a new sound\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda chorus  of savage .shouts. The trample of feet  grew plainer and more rapid, beatiiig the  frozen ground and the hollow sidewalk  till an ominous roar arose.  \"They're comin', Dan.\" Annie turned  her resolute faco to her husband. \"They're  after him.\"  '\"Lhey won't git 'im. I won't open up\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Listen to that, will ye?\"  The roar came nearer, and the shouts  now took shape.  \"Bring a rope\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda rope!\"  \"We'll hang 'im right now.\"        ;  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThat terrible!'voiceseemed\"to inflame tho-  whole mob, ns a raucous snarl  of a tiger  rouses the beasts ofa inanagerie to  primitive ferocity.  \"Now, Annie,\" said Dan, \"you go in  and\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" \" - -  \"But you're goin'to need me out here,  Dan. i, I'd rather be out here with you.\"  \"Annie,\" said Dan, quietly, \"go inside.  Lock all tbe doors. Lock this door behind  me and hide the k'oys. I'll stand right  here alone.\"  \"AU right, Dan,\" she replied without a  quaver.    \"But I'm afraid\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"   ^  \"Don't open the doors for anything or  anybody till morning\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnot even to inc.\"  His voice had a peculiar inflexible quality.  \"I don't need any help.\".  She new him in these moods. \"AH  right, Dan.   It's your duty.\"  After she went in and shut the door behind her, Dun puthis ear to the door till  he heard the bolt slide to with''a click,vand  the chain rattle into place. Then he took '  out his revolvers,\" examined them as well  as he could in the shadow, and calmly  waited the approaching crowd.  Suddenly the city marshal dashed up.   -  \"Dan, they're comin'!\"  \"Let'em come, Joe.   We're here first.\"  \"They're goin' to lynch \"im.\"  \"Not while I stand here.\"  \"But we can't stand out. against the  'whole county, Dan.\"  \"The whole county ain't here.\"  \"Yes, they are.

'The crowd turned in at the gate, liooting  like demons, and Joe flittered along the  shadow of the jail wall and disappeared,to  be seen no more that night. As those in  advance came up. they saw Dan standing  in the shadow grimlv..,  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  \"That you, Dan?\"  \"It's me.
