CHAPTER XXVII. (Continued.)
Ho waited now for tho night to
come, and to him tho sun beomod
llxed In tho heavens. At Hello Plain
Tom Ware was watching It with a
shuddering sense of tho swiftness ol

tall trees obscured It; It sank quickly
then and btazod a ball ol lire beyond
the Arkansas coast, v.'hllo Its dying

With tho first approach of darkness

"Listen, George It's Carrlngton 1

"How yo' got hero, Maa'r Ca'lng

"Around the bead ot the bayou."

"Where's Miss Betty?"

to speak. "I reckon you-all havo coroo

"Then you reckon right," answered
Carrlngton. The girl studied him

"And you-all think you can take

"1 ain't afraid of yo' knlfo you-all

"Don't bo too suro of that," said
Carrlngton sternly. Tho girl met the

Tbo girl's mood changed abruptly.
"I reckon that's a prlvato matter.
Ain't It enough fo' you-all to know

close on Bess and ber lantern; and
thoy stole across tbe clearing. Reach
ing tbe bayou side they began a noise
less senrch for tbe dugout, which they
quickly found, and Carrlngton turned
to George. "Can you swim?" be
asked.
"Yes, Mas'r."
'Thon go down Into tho water and

CHAPTER
XXVIII.
Tho Keel Boat.
A few minutes later thoy had sepa
rated, Georgo to hurry away In search
of tho horse, nnd Carrlngton to pass
bnck along the shore until ho gnlncd
a point opposite the clearing. Ho
whistled shrilly threo times, and alter
an interval of walling heard tho
splash of oars und presently saw a
skiff steal out ot the gloom.
"Who's there?" It was Hess who
asked the question
"Carrlngton," ho answered.
"Lucky you nln't mot tho other
man!" sho said as Bbo swept her skirt
alongside tho bank
"Lucky for him, you menn. I'll tnko
the oars," added Carrlngton, as no
entered the skiff
Slowly tho clearing lifted out ot tho
darkness, then the keel boat beenrno
distinguishable; und Carrlngton
checked tho skiff by a backward
stroko of tbo oars
"Hello!" ho called.
Thore was no immediate answer to
his hnll, and ho called again as ho
sent tho skirt forward.
"What do you want?" asked a surly
volco
"You want Slosson!" quickly
prompted tho girl In a whisper.
"I wnnt to see Slosson!" said Car
rlngton glibly and with conUdcnce.
"Who bo you?"
"Murrell sent you," prompted tho
girl again, in a hurried whisper.
"Murrell " And In u!b astonish
ment Carrlngton spoke aloud.
"Murrell?" cried tho volco shnrply.
" sont mo!" said Carrlngton quick-
ly, as thougb completing an unfin
ished sentenco. The girl laughed nerv
ously under ber breath.
"Uow clostcr!" camo tho sullen
rommnnd, nnd tbo Kentucklan did as
he waB bidden. Four men stood in
tho bow of tho keel boat, a lantern
was raised alort and by Its light they
looked hlra over. There was a mo
ment's slleuco broken by Carrlngton,
who asked:
"Which ono of you Is Slosson?"
"I'm Slosson," answered tbo man
with tho lantern. Tho previous night
Mr. Slosson had been somewhat un
der tho enlivening and elevating In
fluence of corn whisky, but now ha
was his own cheerless self, nnd rath
er Jaded by tho passing of tho hours
which ho had sacrificed to nn Irk
8omo responsibility. "What word do
you fetch from tho captain, brothor?"
bo demanded.
"Miss Malroy is to be taken down
river," responded Carrlngton
Slosson swore with surpassing flu
ency. "Say, we're live able-bodied men
risking our neck? to oblige him! You
can get married a damn fclght easier
than this if you go about it right l'vo
done It lota of times." Not under
standing tbo significance of Slosson'a
allusion to bis own matrimonial ca
reer, Carrlngton held his poace The
tavern-keeper aworo again with un
impaired vigor. "You'll And mighty
few men with more experience than
me," he asserted, shaking his head.
"But if you sny tho word "
"I'm oil for gottlng shut of this I "
answered Carrlngton ' promptly, with
a sweep of bis arm. "I call these
pretty close quarters!"
Still shaking bis bead and mutter
ing, tho tnvern-keoper sprang ashore
and mounted the bank, wbero bla
slouching figure quickly lost ltsolf la
tho night
Carrlngton took up bis station on
the flat roof of tbo cabin which tilled
the stern of the boat
"If I'd only pushed my quarrel with
blm!" ho thought bitterly.
He heard Slosson'a shuttling step In
tho distance, a word or two when he
spoke gruffly to some ono, and a mo
ment lator he saw Betty and the boy,
their forma darkly silhouetted against
tho lighter sky aa .hcy moved along
tho top of tho bank. Slosson, with
out any superfluous gallantry, helped,
his captives down the slope and
aboard the keol boat, wbero be locked
them In tho cabin, the door of which
fastened with a hasp and wooden peg.
"You're boss now, pardner!" ho
said, Joining Carrlngton at tbe steer
Ins; oar.
"We'll cast oft tben," answered
Carrlngton.
Thus far nothing bad occurred to
mar bis pinna. If they could but qutt

man whose pinco ho had taken tbo
rest would bo. If not easy of accom
