t To Save a • t : | Soul Was j Sandy’s Idea • * By JOHN PALMER X I*-;—;--:—:-.:— I c, 1024. Weatvr* New.puper Union.) “W"° “ lghl you heT ” ’ ’ Sandy McGregor stood in the doorway of his shack, looking keenly down at tile- trembling boy within. Tull, grizzled, the epitome of strength Was Sandy, the occupant of the lonely fihack in the desert, twenty miles trout Sunrise. For two years he hnd been doggedly wasldng gold from the stream, always in hope of the great strike which he had never made. Every one In Sunrise respected the gaunt, God-fearihg old Scotchman, whose word was iris bond. Sandy looked at tlie boy. “Ye be Alex Smith?” “Yes, I’m Alex Smith,” faltered the other. "You know about me. I shot and killed John Templeton. He cheated pie out of my wages and discharged me from his livery stable." “Aye, 1 know about that crime,” answered Sandy. .“I didn't mean to shoot him. I’d been trying out a pin mid I—l lost my head. I pulled It and tired. He fell dead. I’ve been hiding for a week. Won’t you protect ine till the posse thinks I’ve got away?” I “I’ll protect ye," answered Sandy. He let the boy bunk in his cnhln, mid took him into the hills with him the next day, where he would be safe from visitors. He made him up n bunk in the little shack he hnd erected in the gully. No one would come that way. Days passed. Alex worked with a will for his employer. At the end of a week he went to him. "I guess tlie posse’s given up the job," lie said. “I'd better be hiking." “Wlinur d’you think of going?" asked Sandy. “Over the hills. I can strike the railroad In four days, hop a freight and—" “And live all your days with the charge of murder hanging over ye, a hunted fugitive?” asked Sandy. “Man, go down on your knees and ask Him to give ye the strength to go backj and take your medicine!” j “Back to Sunrise?” whimpered ■ Alex. “You—you’re .pot going to give u»e up?" , , “I’m not going to give ye up. but 1 want ye to give yersel’ up, Alex. A man reaps whaur he sows. *Tis the law. Give yersel’ sp and trust to His mercies.* “I daren’t," whimpered the boy. “They’ll hang me.* ■ i “On yer knees 1* said Sandy. I He kneeled beside him. "O Lord,* he prayed, “as thou hast given strength to the desert and the everlastin’ hills, give strength n«>w to this thy servant that he may do what Is right and surrender himself to the sheriff." 1 Then ensued a dogged battle l>etween the old man and the boy. For two days they fought It out together. “If you go. you’ll have yer life and freedom,* said Sandy. “But yell live yer life knowing you’ve committed the sin of murder. Ye’ll never know ’ that peace of the soul that comes I from well doin’. Give yersel? up and trust In Him.” In the middle of the third night Alex slipped quietly from his bunk, gathered his few things together, and crept out of the hut. He glanced fearfully at big Bandy as he passed Ids Ihsl. He did nut see that the big Scot was observing him through his half-closed lids. When be was gone, Sandy went down on his Irbeea and prayed that strength might bfi given to the lad. He prayed till morning—for Alex, for himself, and for the world. When he returned from work that night Alex ans in the hut. “I—l’ve coma back." faltered the lad. “I—! thought I could get away with It. but It way u |f ■ voice was whispering In my ear,-telling me to return. I’m ready to At art for Sunrise In the morning." “Glory bet" said big Snmly. He etapped hie hand on Alex’s sßt.ulder. “There’ll be no nerd for you to start for Sunrise, eon," he raid. lie drew a folded "Heuspaiirr from hie pocket and haixb-d It to him. Alex read with terror uud amazement the story of Ida crime. The bullet hnd pin need off one of Templeton’s ribs. Indicting only n trivial wound. After n perfunctory search the |»s*se hnd returned. “You—knew?" gasped Alex. "Why did you—?" “To ante your soul. laddie!" tin awerad big Kandy. “Lad Ur, down on yer knees!"

I asked tho Ewings. ’ Next moment 1 regretted having ■ asked that question. An expression 1 of incredulity came on Ewing’s fuce, ’ of pain on his wife’s. • “There’s no child upstairs," muttered Ewing. I said no more. It was nt the dinner table, and one can’t flatly contradict one’s host. I h;td never been In Hie Ewing house before. They I > were new friends of mine, though aft- • erwnrd they became dear ones. They hu<l a big, old-fasholned home in tlie • country, and after we bad met at the beach hotel they Invited me with them ' to spend tlie week end. I had understood they hnd no children. Some neighbor’s child, or perhaps a servant's, I supposed, who hnd strayed in. Only—here was tlie odd thing—there were toys senttered everywhere about the big, well-lit room that I had strayed into. A child's room. Had they lost a little one? That might account for It. A servant's child, no doubt —the I Ewings kept five. It had been a tact- I less remark that I hnd made. But tvhat a lovely child! And how I radiantly she had smiled at me when - she turned her head at my entrance. | I had wanted to cart-ss her, to simfoCh the fair Iqilr flying about her shoulders. But lam sliy with children. And then the little one hnd been so busy with her toys, playing, after that ■ first, smiling glance nt me, as if she had not seen me, or bad forgotten me. She jdayed so nicely, too. She put the blocks so quietly one on top of the other. I had anticipated some delightful hours with her, for I am fond of ! children. And I hnd quietly withdrawn to my room and wasluwl for dinner, and then gone down, to ask that tactless question. I saw reproof In the eyes of old Aunt Mary, a formidable dowager, a sister of Mrs. Ewing. The other ! guests—three of them —did not see<D to see anything queer In the situation. Aunt Mary and I had a little talk that night. After a while 1 was en couraged to speak if my tactlessness. “But whose can the child have . been?" I asked. "They lost a child," she answered. “Y<»u mean—?’’ I was horrified. “Yes. Others have seen her sometimes. playing up there. Mr. Ewing I ' obstinately asserts that It is nil Imagination, but I think he Is-lleves ft. I t<s>. His wife has never seen her, and , that’s what breaks her I«-arL She i only hears of her from others." i “You believe that?" "Didn't you see her?" I had no more to say. Aunt Mary . continued: “It Is very pitiful and tragic. You I see. the parents were rigid dlsdpllnn- , rlana. They brought her up In th--I mistaken idea that children must be I force,] to obey. And little Doris wns ( willful. Anti obstinate. They tried I to bn*ak her will. They wlilpiss! her. They thought they were doing right by ] her. Tlie mother whipped her the day j before she was taken 111 with sctirb-t I fever—whipped the obstinate little i I thing and sent her sup|»erl«*«s to bed. , I Ten days later she was dead. ,! "She thinks the renaoti why she has never seen her Is la-catise ah" , ' whlpjied her. It nearly kills lice when ( j others say they have aem her. Mr. Ewing. i>s I said, pretends not to be ’ I Hove. Don’t say another word—" j “No. Fm sorry I blundered Into this," I answered, still half ln«Tvdti 11 low. “Have you seen her?" I "Ota, yes. b«-aps nf times, but she never m-ema to notice—Just g«»-S on , playing with her toys. They left that 1 room just ns It was after she tiled." ‘! When I left Aunt Stary Mrs. Ewing came up to me in a hesitant aort of wuy. “You—y<»u know now F she whl» ’ > pered piteously. r i “Yea. I know, and Fm so terry." 1 • ' answered. “Site wat a dear, beautiful ' ' little girt." s i "If I could nee her—only once." l " moaned the mother. 1 “I knew her atv-ret L>rr->w, of course f hut I rouldn’t let her know what Aunt ' !
