But Jack turned her bacl on him. When the firing began, with om bound, disguised and begrined as I was, I cleared muy window. Wher Itingold fell, I was Joined by the othei meimbers of our party from the houses Buck had blackened himself for a ne b gro, and it was he who had answere( Itingold's questions. Ilelen and Glngei had hidden without disguise. The peo ple of the town, one man and eight wo men, besides children, rushed Into thi road. I knew well that the absence oj the guerrillas was but temporary; thal 0 they would soon come down on us in i body. "We have no time to lose," I cried "We must get away at once." "Where?" "Any where." Turning to the townspeople, I asket 1 If they could furnish a conveyance. ' "I've a horse and wagon in my shed,' said the siuith. t "Out with It, quick!" 4 Every one of us took a band in liar 4 nessing the team, and In three minute: 0 by the clock we had finished. Thei we all tumbled in1, except Jack, wh< declared she would never leave hei friend, CaptaIn Ilingold. There wna no time to bandy words, so I took hei up and tossed her into the wagon where she fell in a heoap. RIsing 01 her knees, she shook her clinched fis at m1e and cried to the wounded guer rilla that she would come back to hin as soon as she could get away. Mean while the blacksmith was driving u. down the road, belaboring his horso with the stump of an old whip. CHAPTER XXI. A STEN C11HASE. STRAIGHT road lay before ui to Decherd, a few miles dis tint. The place was of tc great Importance for the guer rillas to dare enter, and If we couh t reach It before they could catch us w4 should be safe. "Iow much Is your horse worth?" I asked the blacksmith. "A matter o' saxty dollars." "If you kill him by hard driving, I'1 give you a hundred, and if you get ui to Decherd before the outlaws cai catch us I'll make It a hundred more." "Weel, noo, I don't want to be har< oil a mon flyin for his life and wimne folk too. I'll do the best I can and as) 0 no money." With that he belabored the poo ! horse's flanks with the stump < hi r whip and sent him galloping on ard There were nto springs to the NA Lgol but we valued our lives too w. it t, a draw rein at rut or stone. At one par I of the road I feared tlat if we did no hi check our pace we would break a wheel and be left with no means t get on save our legs. I cautioned th .driver to slacken his pace: but, hearin or fancyinlg he heard the clattering a horses' hoofs behind, without a wor from me he applledI the lash. Now w b ounded into tihe air andl now we wer LItossed together like (lice in a box. 1"GlIt oop, ye critter!" cried the black smith mingling Scotch and Tenniessec S"Don't ye know ye're graggin bonn; leddles Ilyin for their lives?" Ani e down camie the butt of the whip. I Swas harrowing to see a horse forced t e give his life to save ours, but our aitt 11 atloon was too critical to warrant an Lslackening of speed.

A ft'! awhile Jack slid dlown beside him whlereupon lie suddenly lighted up ami took as much Interest in our flight a any one of the party. We wvere a wild looking load to th few people who passed us. Wheneve we saw a farm wagon coming or goinj we would shout to Its driver to get on of the way. Trhey must have supposen our horse to be a runaway, for ever; one quickly turned aside. There ari pictures of that ride which I can seo todany, so vividly were they stamipe< 01n my menmory.

"One mile to their two. Can we not die do it, driver?" I asked quickly. The only answer was another "Git oop!" and renewed hammering on the e horse's ruip. The eyes of all were out strained\ to the rear, watching to see no Just what chance there was from time do. to time between life and death, while I examined the carbines, which we had ma taken care to bring with us, to discov- A er if they were in good condition.

Getting up and running to the prostrate animal, I found him stone dead. NNe were still a quarter of a mile from the town, and the guerrillas would be on us in a jiffy. Calling to the others to help, I turned the wagon a across the road and directed all to take ,i - position behind it. Distributing the tot guns, we waited the coining of the ad vance of our enenies. Three men, pret- "0 ty near together, catching sight of us, N drew rein and walted for their con- it rades. Others soon camte up, and I counted seven men preparing to charge lo us. I was about to give an order as to the firing when I heard an exclamation wi from Ginger: tet "Bress do Lawdi" Turning, I saw a troop of cavalry carrying the stars and stripes riding leisurely fron the town.

The total output of the Exposition is something in the neighborhood of 0,000,000. From the gate receipts ly $3,500,000 was realized against expected irevenue of at least $S, 0,000. Of course, something was lhzed from concessions, but alto thor the .Expos3ition r'epresents a net as of nearly $4,000,000. Bad weather ring thme early spring prevented1 the epos'tion from being ready on time, d thi3 handicap kept the crowds ck at the beginnmng. Then the igedy resultang in the Pr'esident's ath considerably reduced the attend ce at thie close. Buffalo naturally feels disheartened er the tinancial failure of her great :position, but she has the satisfaction knowmng that her enterprise was an istic success in the most critical ise of the term, and that in many pets it, was even superior to the orld's Fair at Chicago.
