At this sentence the women and boys

litIlo boys represented the entire village.

"‘Hol on a minnct," Peter Witheby

full of the iniportanca and di nity of
his posifiou as protector of Migg esville,
paced forward swiftly. The veteran al-
ready fell. upon his brow a wreath tonn-
ed of the flowers of gratitude, and as
he strode he was absorbed in planning
a calm and cell contained manucrof
wearing it. “Hui on a ininaot," 11in
old Peter in the roar.
At last the major, aroused from his
drama of triumph, turned about w rath-
fully.
”WI-.1], what?”
“Now look a-l1crc,” said Peter.

breathless, uaitcd for tho poa alcf Anti

that caused Pctor to hear the thumping
of his heart. He began to look about
him to make sure that nothing, could,
spring upon him from tho somber shad-
ows. lie scrutinized this cool gloom be-
fore him, and at timcs he thought he
could pcrccivc the moving of swift, si-
lcut shapes. Ho com ludcd that ho had
better try to muster sonic assistance to
the major.
As Pctcr came through the corn tho
women in the road caught sight of the
glittoring figure and screamed. Many
of them begun to run. The little boys,
a 1th all tin 1r valor, scurried away in
clouds. Mrs. Joe Pctcrson however.
cast a glancc over her shoulders as rho,
with her skirts gathered up, was run-
ning as best she could. She instantly
stopped, and in tom-II of deepest scorn
callod out to the othcrs:
‘Why, it‘s on'y Pcto Withcby. ”
They came faltcriug back thou, those
who had boon naturally swiftcst in the
race avoiding tho eyes of thosc whose
limbs had enabled them to fleoonly a
short distance.
Pctcr came rapidly, appreciating tho
glanccs of vivid inn-rest in the eycs of
the women. To tlu-ir lightninglikc
qucstions, which hit all sidcs of the epi-
sodc, he opposed a new tranquillity.
gaincd from his suddcu mutant in im-
portance. Iio made no answor to thcir
clamor. When he had reached the top
of the fence, he called out command-
mgly: )
“Herc, you,IJohnnic, you and George
run an git my gun. It’s hangin on th’r
pegs ovcr th‘ bunch in th' shop."
At this terrible sentence a shuddering
cry broke from the wonmu. The boys
named sped down the road, accompa-
nicd by a retiuuc of envious compan-
ions.
Pctor strung his legs over the rail
and fiu'cd the woods again. Ho twisted
his head once. to say: “Keep still, can’t
ych? Quit scufilin aroun. ” They could
ace by his manner that this was a 1111-
pmmc moment. The group became Ino-
tionlcss and still. Later Pcter turned to
say. “Sh!" to a rcstloss boy, and the
air with which ho said it smote them
all with awe.
The little boys who had gone after
tho gun came pattcring along hurried-
ly, tho weapon borne in tho midst of
them. Each was anxious to share in tho
honor. The one who had been dcl ogated
to bring it was bullying and dircptin
