OHAPTKK I.
Tho people of the Bnld Knob neighborhood,
on tho Missouri Pacific railway,
couldn't understand why Clem
Holder should go wrong, llis people
were surely honest, and < rtainly did
everything that lay within tho range of
tlioir ability to give tho hoy a start 111
life, but he went wrong. Hut not in tho
tiresome, everyday manner, mind you.
lie didn't steal a horse, and thereby invito
the contempt of the neighborhood.
Ho did not commit an olVenso so commouplaco
and so free from exposure that
a man of ordinary nerve would have
contemplated it without alarm. No; ho
juuijjuu 011 a pay car, ronneu the paymaster
ami killed a meddlesome fellow
who ventured to protest or olf? i advice
or something of the sort.
What a handsome fellow Clem was!
He was strong and of rather good size, (
but his features were as delicate and as
refined as a girl's, llis eyes were of that
peculiar blue that bespeak innocence or
deviltry, you ran m ver determine
which, and his hair was long and inclined
to curl. Had he been reared in
the old atmosphere of Italy he would
either have been an artist or a bandit. ^
He had been morbidly restless all his
life, dissatisfied with the present and
feeling that tin* future had nothing for
him, and when his parents had bade the
world good night and g me to eternity's
hod be yielded no longer to restraint.
The Missouri l'aetflc Railway company
ollert d a large* r? ward for him. 1
The sheriff of the county happened to
want money at that time and said that
he believed he would go out and lead
Clem to justice. He \\? lit out on a fairly
good horse ami t ame back in a wagon,
and, while his friends wore burying him
near old Khenezi r church, some one remarked
that Clc m always had In on a
OUII; III IIIU<P<M1<1< III ICIiOW, 1111(1 lllllt 111) ,
wns "powerful .slow" in yielding to '
pOVHUHRlOll. Well, it VCI'V llof((l 1111111, 11
great catcher of illicit (list ilit is, said
that Cloin must answer for Ins crimes,
ami, with a lew s< lected nit n, went after
liini. Clem met them unexpectedly,
and?well, lie still refused to yield to
persuasion, and when the fragments of
the argument were gathered up the ,
great catcher of illicit distillers was labeled
and sent to his friends.
After several other attempts had been
made the arrest of Clem lloldt r was regarded
as an eventful hut tun njoyahlo
undertaking. Tim young fellow lived in
tho lulls, rode a good horse, and, in the
opinion of many people who knew him,
was about as near a king as mi American
could wish to ho.
For many years Clem had been deeply
in love with Silla Garrett, a handsome
young woman, the belle of a hundred
country dances. She was a cold piece of
proud flesh. Your celebrated beauty
may ho cold, but she cannot hope to
rival tho impel ial chilliness of tho hackwoods
belle. Toe rough homage of tho
follow, with his trousers in his boots,
inspires more (n a eontcmptm us loftiness
in a backwoods quei n than the polished
worship of the courtier could possibly
inspiro in a beauty celebrated by
two continents.
Silla did 1 ot tell Cloin that she would
not marry him. When he had actually
fallen at h< r feet, lonp before he had
robbed the pay car, and implored her to
be his w ife, she had told him that she
was so poor h< r-? 1 f that she could not
afford to marry a poor man. lie had i
been kept so busy for a time after ho
committed the robbery that be did not }
have an opportunity to call on her, but j
several days after he had parted with
the preat catcher of illicit distillers he j
rode up to the fence surrounding old
man Garrett's house and yelled, "llcllo,
in there!"
hjilla came to the door and exclaimed,
"Why, (.'lorn Holder, what 011 earth are
you doin hero?"
"Oh, I'm out payin tin u few calls
that I ha) pened to owe. I've been kept
pretty busy lately, i used to tiiink that
I might ne\orget into business, but I'vo
had 110 causo to complain since I took
up railroad work."
"Clem Holder, you ought to ho
ashamed of yourself."
"Oh, I reckon it ain't as bad as that!
1 don't see w hv a man should bo ashamed
of himself when he's done as well as ho
can. In this life wo ought to be censured
"CIcin Holder, you ouyht to be ashamed
of yourself."
for failin to do our duty, but when wg
have improved each sliinin hour, as the
feller says, wo ought to bo complimented.
Say, whore's the old man?"
"Gone to mill."
"Whero's tlio old woman?"
"Up stairs, siok with a headache."
"May I comu in?"
"No."
"Why "
"W1 Do yon reckon I want you to
oonio i: .ir houso and bo shot thoro?"
"Win goin to shoot mo?"
"Oh, what's tho use in askin such
foolish questions? You know tho railroad
is after you."
"Yes, and tho railroad is about fast
enough to catch ino, hut tho train is
hardly duo yet. Let mo coino in, Sillu
I've not Komotiiiu to say to you."
"Can't you say it out thero?"
"I'm ikfraid somebody might hear
mo.''
"No, you ain't. A man that ain't
afraid to roh a railroad ain't afraid to
have anybody hear what ho says."
"l'rom a woman's standpoint, no,"
he answered, stroking his horso's mane,
"but from a mail's standpoint, yes. A
feller that ain't afraid to fight a bravo

'-.v , /
m\
man is sometimes afraid to huvo a coward
hoar him talk. Silla, you told mo
some time ago th.it you couldn't afford
to marry a poor man. You know how I
loved you. know that you? words stabbed
me with a front covered knife. 1 wanted
money?I wanted you?so I robbed a \
pay car. I'm not so mighty rich yet, ,
but I've g< t enough to keep you from
work Now, you just get up hero behind
mo, and we'll Jeavo the country.
I'll take you away otf somewhere, and
we can live as happy as a king and
queen. Come, Silla."
"Look hero, man, do you take mo for
a fool?"
"I'd like to tako you for anything.
('ome, Silla. "
W /'U... I fv. i r
i^uiiariiM', v' 115m : J^u vnu n'CKOU I
nould marry a robber and a?a?inurderor?"
"I am a robber, but I'm not. a murderer.
1 robbed because I wanted you,
and 1 shot because men wanted me.
Men wanted me for money. Tliey didn't
rare anything about justice. They wanted
the reward, and a constant seeker
after reward ain't any bettor than a
robber. Hut that's neither hero nor
there. I want you logo with me."
"Oh, I eun't, Clem!"
"Why?"
"Oh, you know why! It would l>o so
awful. I'd have to go away whero I'd
never s< o any of my folks again, and?
oh, 1 just ean't 1"
"Is it because you lovo some other
man?"
"No."
"If you do, I will kill the man."
"I don't lovo anybody but?but"?
"Out with it."
"Hut. you, Clom."
"Thank Cod for theni words! Let mn
get down and kiss you."
"Oh, Clem, you are the foolishest
man J ever saw!"
"Not foolish, hut in love, Silla. May
I rOine in the house?"
"No, no I 1 couldn't, think of such a

"Well, what cuu 1(1 tin do?1'
"Ho could givo mo an awful goin
over. No, Glcm, you mustn't eonio in.
Sonic time you may, but not now. Say,
L'lem, if I ask you somethin, will you
think mo funny?"
"Notliin that's beautiful can bo funny.
"
"Well, J wanted to ask you this?now
1 just, know you'll think I'm funny."
"No, 1 won't."
"Honest?" And then she laughed.
Talk of honesty to a robber! "Honest?"
nlie repeated.
"Honest."
"Well, how much money did you get
out of that pay car? Now, there, I told
you you'd think 1 was funny."
lie laughed and affect innately stroked
his horse's inane.
"Honest, now, don't you think I'm j
funny?''
"No. Let mo soo. 1 got about ?1(5,000."
"Gracious alive!" she gasped, and
then exclaimed: "Yonder comes pap.
You'd better go. "
Hut ho did not go. Ho sat stroking
his horse's mane, waiting for old man
Garrett* The old fellow tumbled the
ui?K ?>i meal mi iiic unco, turned ins
horso into a lot, and then slowly oamo
forwaid with a scowl on his face. Ho
stopped, put one foot on a low stump
and then asked, "What are you doin
hero, Clem Holder?"
"Oh, sorter restin awhile!"
"Well, this is a mighty poro placo to
rest. I've In en livin hero fifty odd year,
and 1 ain't never had no rest yet, so if
you are in need of that artickle I reckon
you'd hotter shove on somewhar else.
Silla, ' he called, "go in the house.
Now, look here, Clem Holder," he added
when tie girl disappeared, "1 want
to tell you one thing, and that's this:
You must keep away from my house. I
never did have any too mm h use for
you, and your robbery and killin ain't
improved things none. What are you
liangin round here for anyway?"
"1 love your daughter."
liovn 11:0 novil!" tho old man
stormed.
"No; lovo an angel. "
"Well, then," tho old man replied,
with an air of compromise, "we'll sav
that the devil loves an angel, but that
ain't what I want to git at. You must
keep away from my house. I don't want
to he took up on your account, and put
in jail, and I won't he if 1 can help it
nuthcr. You have ruined yourself and
disgraced all your friends, and I'll he
blamed if you shall draw me into it! Do
you hoar?"
"Yes, hut 1 must tell you that I won't
keep away except on one condition."
"Well, and what is it?"
"That Silla will keep away with me. "
"Clem Holder, 1 don't want to hurt
you.A
"All right, and I don't intend you
shall; so, you see, wo have como to a
pretty good understandin. Now, lot mo
ask you a few questions: Did the railroad
ever help you in any particular
way?"
"Help me? Tho infernal scoundrels
killed my cow and never paid mo morn
than half price!"
"Well, then, they robbed you, didn't
they?"
"Of course they did."
"Ah, ha, and 1 robbed thorn!"
"Hut what's that got to do with me?"
"A good deal. I will givo you tho
prico of 100 cows if you will give mo
your daughter."
"Clem Holder, I have struggled along
the best 1 could and managed to live
somehow, without over takin a dishounnnf

"There's no uko talkin, old man, I

you."
"And I will do you as I did Ituck

CHAPTER II.
Another attempt to capture Clem
Holder was made, and all that kept a
daring deputy shoriir from biting the
dust was lite tact that a rain had fallen
the nil/lit before. Ihlf, (Moil! ll'nu ruiJ.iiil
ho hard thin tuna that ho fled to tho
mountain-'.
Olio day a man called at old limn Garrett's
and asked for Si 11a. She ounio
into tho room, and tho man Haid:
"I want to talk ponso to you for a few
moments."
"That in Hoinothin remarkable," she
' A
if j .
answered. "It isn't often that u man
wautH to talk sense to a woman."
Ho bowed ami thanked her. "That
follow, Holder," Raid he, "haw given it
out that ho got $10,000 front the railroad
company, but ho didu't?ho got
only $700."
"Is that all?" site asked, with falling
countenance.
"Kvory cent."
"Then why aro they try in ho hard to
catch him?"
"To make an exatuplo of him."
"Hut what have 1 got to do with it?"
"A good deal. You can help us catch
him."
"Hut why hliould I want you to catch
hint?"
"Now, miss, lot mo talk sense. If
you should run away and marry him?
hold on," ho broko olT, holding up ono
hand. "I know that you aro going to
say that it's iioiiu of my business, but bo
patient a moment. If you wero to run
away with him, ho would lead you a
dog's life, lit) hasn't money enough to
get anywhere, and it would simply bo a
dodge and a light all the time. You aro
fitted for I>otter things. If you iiud mouoy
enough to no to a largo city and put
on a handsome dress, j*ou would soon
lioooino celebrated uh the?now, pardon
1110?an the most beautiful woman in
the entire country. In society a queen is
nowhere in comparison with a beautiful
woman, and 3-ou would stand at the
head of the list. Groat men would fall
down and worship you. and you could
marry a foreign duke and live in a magnificent
palace. It is a woman's duty to
make the most of herself. Love is all
well enough as a poetic idea, but ill
mated lovo eannot last. Leading a dodging
life, a life of hardship, yon would
soon lose your beauty, and then your
outlaw husband would find you a burden
on his hands. Now, you arrange it
so wo can capture him, and we will
make you a queen. We will give you
if2,000 in money and will send you to
St. Louis in a splendid palaco car, all
your own. Bo sensible."
"But how can 1 help you catch him?"
"Basil)' " nough. The next tine* you
see him jou can make an appointment
to meet liiiu somewhere. You can give
hun something in a glass of water to
mum iiiiii Mi'i'p, ami llllMI Klip II pall' (it
handcuffs over his hands. "
"Oh, I don't see how I could."
"You can, onsily enough, if you arc
HOnsihlc. 1 tell you that it is your duty
to make the most of yourself. Naturo
has done her part, and now you must do
yours."
"Oh, I don't know what to do! Hut I
would like so much to live in a palace. "
"You can, just as well as not."
"1 wish 1 knew what to do."
"You will know when you havo
studied over this matter in a sensible
way. 1 will hang around in the neighborhood.
When he conies again, you
make an appointment to meet him."
"Hut ho may not come again soon."
"Yes, he will." The officer of the
law know that the rentier would como
BOOH. The shrewd fellow had adroitly
sent to the mountains a report that Silla
was to bo married.
Several days passed. It was Sunday.
Old Oarrett and his wife were atchurch.
Silla was at home. A slight noise attracted
her attention. She went to the
door. Clem had just ridden up to tho
fence.
"Why, what are you doin hero?"
"Lookin for a man.''
"What do you want with him?"
4' Want to kill him.''
"What for?"
"lb-cause lie's goin to marry you."
"Oh, what a goose yon are! Nobody's
goin to many mi?thai is, not now."
"I heard you were goin to he married.
"
"You've heard more'n 1 ever did.
Clem, you know 1 couldn't marry anybody
hut you."
"Well, Imt you won't even marry
1110. "
'' Yes, I will I . ' I can't
now. Whyliavou i jou been to sue me?"
sho asked.
"If 1 had thought you wanted to s'-o
1110," In; said, "I would havo risked
overything and coino. They have lieon
pushin inn mighty closo lately. May I
oomo in?'*
"No, not now, hut if you will conio
next Sunday you may."
"Say I may conio in now."
"No; next Sunday. Everybody will
ho away then, and we'll just havo a
lovely time.1'
"1 will be here. "
The old peoplo went to church the
following Sunday. Tho girl eagerly
watched for tho coming of tho young
man. Ho ca no. He did not riilo up to
tho fence, lie eaino stealthily out of tho
woods. The girl met him at tho door
and kissed him. Ho attempted to take
her in his arms, but she drew hack and
said:
"No, not now. After awhile you may.
Sit down and talk to mo nice?toll mo
how much you love mo."
Ho put his Winchester rifle hesido his
chair. ''If i were to tell you how much
I lovo you, 1?oh, I couldn't do it, that's
all." He remained silent for a few moments,
and then said, "Now that I havo
got in bore I don't hardly know what to
say." llo was silent again. "I know,
though," ho began after a time, "that
no human boin was ever lo\< d as much
as you are. I have loved you ever since
you were a child, and if has grown on
me. The stronger 1 got tho more I loved
you. T havo always had you in mind as
an n"sel, tho oinl m of all that is good,
and it 1 should lose i .idenco in you 1
i wouldn't euro to live. I know it sounds
strange when 1 talk of anybody hein
good when I am so had myself, but I
oan't help it."
"Oh, you'll never havo cause to lose
conlidcnco in me, Oleml You look tired,
dear."
"1 am a little worn, for they push me
mightily somctlines.''
"Lot mo tlx you somothin to oat?"
"No; I ain't hungry. Silla," ho suddonly
spoko up, "I will always ho gentlo
with you, it don't mako any differonco
if 1 huvo killed men. Oh, you are
an angel!" Hor hair had fallen loose,
and, in a silken maze, was hanging
about hor shoulders. ''I do hcliovo you
are the most beautiful eivnturo in the
world, and, it wouldn't make any difTorenco
whero you might go, all the other
women would have to lake a backseat."
"1 hope you'll always think so, dear.
Do let mo fix you somcthin. 01), 1 have
some of the best blackberry cordial you
ever drank! Won't you drink some of it
for me?just because 1 made it?"
"Yes; I will do anything for .vou."
She brought thowino in a teacup, and
1 he drank it.

"What's the matter with you, angel?"
ho asked. "You look scared."
"Nothiu. 1 was just thiukin?just
sortt r afraid that they might catch you. "
"Not much danger. The only way
they onn do is to slip up on mo."
1 i talked of his love. "You are noddin,
dear. Won't you lie down on the
bed for a little while? I will keep watch
and tell you if I see anybody eoinin."
"No; 1 must go putty soon. I must?

to tear the handcnlTs off his wrists.
"Clem!" hIio cried. "Clem, wake up

Threo men entered tho room. "Got

Tho nion seized him. Ho did not

throwing h< r arms about his neck and
passionately kissing him. "Oh, you

him away! Oh, for mercy's sake, don't!"
sho implored, sinking upon her knees.
They dragged Clem toward tho door.
She shrieked and fell on tho floor, and
one of the men in his excitement trod
ou her beautiful hair.

Tho prisoner deserved no mercy, tho

A gallows was erected near tho railroad
track, and a man slowly swung to
