It was a sad short story about a girl who fell in love with a man who is wanted by the law, and he would go and see her every so often but the police got word of it and they raided her house, bound and gagged her, then set her up in a way that if she tried to move a gun would fire that would kill her but if she didn't move her lover would be caught, then he came riding to her home on his horse like all the times before and the girl set off the trap to warn her lover of the police, he turned and rode away, she saved her lover but killed herself in the process!. and i don't remember the name of it, can anyone help me out!? also for the short stories i don't mean books, mean short stories like Edgar Allen Poe's sad short stories but about love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know a short story like that, but it is exactly the plot of the story poem The HIghwayman, by Alfred Noyes!. Here's a link to the text of it:
