100 THE GIRL TRAILER. Wallace washed the blood from Jennie Carroll’s head and found that the bullet had grazed her skull, stunning her for ’ the time. A. timely use of spirits brought her back to life, aud as she saw the pale face bending over her she uttered a delirious scream of Joy as the arm of her lover again en- folded her. ‘You have won a noble woman,’ said Wallace Burton. “T hope you love her as she deserves.” The devoted Jook which the surveyor cast upon the pale face on his: breast, was the only answer, and then Wallace spoke again. “Mr. Best, [have a few words to say to you. Miss Tarner tells me that you aided her to escape this night and there has; been blood enough shed. .When we go away in the morning we will leave you here with your friend and give you amonth to get out of the country, never to return until you can say that you are an honest man” “Its mor’n we. deserve,” said Best, sadly. “Jack and I thank you for it.
