Something very like laugnter es
caped from Mahaffy's lips.
"There you go. Solomon, with your
Inopportune mirth! What in God's
name have I if I haven't hope? Take
grandson shall! He shall wear vel
vet and a lace collar and ride his pony
yet, by God. as a gentlemans grand
j son should!"
"It sounds well, Price. Cut where's
the money coming from to push a law
suit?”
The judge waved this aside.
“The means will be found. Solo
mon. Our horizon is lifting—1 can
see it lift! Don't drag me back from
I tbe portal of hope! We’ll drink the
stuff that comes across the water;
that from me and what would 1 be?
! Why. the very fate 1 have been fight
ing off with tooth and nail would
overwhelm me. I'd sink Into unim
portance—my unparalleled misfor
tunes would degrade me to a level
i with the commonest! No. sir. I've

I've tallen I’ve always got up. What

; his lips in an ecstacy of enjoyment. .
| and dropping down before the table
which served him as a desk, seized a
pen.
“It's good enough to think about.
• Price." admitted Mahaffy grudgingly.
"It's better to do; and if anything
happens to me the papers I am going
to leave will tell you how It's to be
done. Man, tnere’s a million ot

"And you are going to meet Fen

judge. "For what have 1 been living? !

this is the turning point in my ca- !
reer. Solomon!” he went on. "The
beginning of great things! But 1 j

mur come to him. I shall outline In

"1 declare. Price, you are hardly |
fitted to be at large! Why, you act
as If you were tired of life! There's
Yancy—there’s Cavendish!"
The Judge gave him an Indulgent
but superior smile.
"Two very worthy men. but I go to
Boggs' attended by a gentleman or 1
go there alone. 1 am aware of your
prejudices. Solomon; otherwise 1
might ask this favor or you."
Mr. Mahaffy snorted loudly and
turned to the door, for Yancy and
Cavendish were now approaching the
house, the latter with a meaJ sack
slung over his shoulder
"Here. Solomon, take one of my !
pistol8,” urged the Judge hastily.
Toms stammering speech, he was
still seeing his ghastly face, and he
had come upon him with startling
suddenness. He had chanced to loan
back over his shoulder and when he
laced about there bad been the plant
er within a hundred yards ol him.
Presently Carrington's glance ceas
ed to follow the windings or the path.
He stared down at the gray dust and
saw the trail left by Hues and his
'You may need it at Belle Plain. Good
by, and God bless you!”
CHAPTER XXVII.
Eess Leads to Betty.
Just where he had parted from
Ware. Carrington sat his horse, his
brows knit and bis eyes turned in tne
direction of the path. He was on his
wav to a plantation below Blrard. the
owner of which had recently import
ed a pack of bloodhounds; hut this
unexpected encounter with Ware had
affected him strangely. He still heard
parly Kor a moment he hesitated:
if the dogs were to be used with any
hope of success he had no time to
spare, and this was the merest sus
picion. Illogical conjecture, based on
nothing beyond his distrust of Ware
In the end he sprang from the saddle,
and leading his hcrse into the woods,
tied it to a sapling.
A hurried investigation told Him
that five men had ridden In and out of
that path. Of the live, all coming
from the south, four had turned
south again, but the fifth man—Ware,
in other words—had gone north. He
weighed the possible significance of
these facts.
"I am only wasting time!” he con
fessed reluctantly, and was on the
point of turning away, when, on the
very edge of the road and just where
the dust yielded to the hard clay of
the path, bis glance lighted on the
print of a small and daintily shod
foot. The throbbing of his heart
Quickened curiously.
"Betty!” The word leaped from hl»
Ups.
That small foot had left but the
one impress. There were other signs,
however, that claimed his attention;
namely, the boot-prints ot Slosaon
and his men; and he made the in
evitable discovery that these tracks
were all conlined to the one spot.
They began suddenly and as sudden
ly ceased, yet there was no mystery
about these; he had the marks of the
wheels to help him to a sure conclu
sion. A carriage had turned Just
here, several men had alighted; they
had with them a child, or a woman.
Either they had re-entered the car
Tiage and driven back as they had
come, or they bad gone toward the
river. He felt the soul within him
turn sick.
He stole aiong the path; the terror
of the river was ever in his thoughts,
and the specter of his fear seemed to
flit before him and lure him on. Pres
ently he caught nls first glimpse of
the bayou and his legs shook under
him; but the path wound deeper still
into w hat appeared to be an un
touched solitude, wound on between
the crowding tree torrns. a little back
from the shore, with an intervening
tangle of vines and bushes. He
scanned this closely as he hurried
forward, scarcely conscious that he
was searching for some trampled
space at the water's edge; but the
verdant wail preserved its unbroken
continuity, and twenty minutes later
he came w ithm sight ot Hicks clear
ing and the keel boat, where it rested
against the bank.
A little farther on he found the
spot where Slosson had launched the
ski9 the night before. The keel of his
boat had cut deep into the slippery
clay; more than this, the Impress ot
the small shoe was repeated here, and
just beside it was the print of a child's
bare foot.
He no longer doubted that Betty
and Hannibal bad been taken across
the bayou to the cabin, and he ran
back up the path the distance of a
mile and plunged into the woods on
his right, his purpose being to pass
around the sluggish water.
Here he paused and took stock of
his surroundings. The two or three
buildings Mr. Hicks bad erected stood
midway of the clearing and were very
modest improvements adapted to their
owner's somewhat flippant pursuit of
agriculture. While Carrington was
still staring about him. the cabin door
swung open and a woman stepped
forth. It was the girl Bess. She went
to a corner of the building and called
loudly:
"Joe! Oh. Joe!"
Carrington glanced in the direction
of the keel boat and an instant later
saw Slosaon clamber over Its side
The tavern-keeper crossed to the cab
in. where he was met by Bess, who
placed in his hands what seemed to
be a wooden bowl. With this he
slouched oil to one of the outbuild- i
ings, which he entered. Ten or nt- ■
teen minutes slipped by. then he came
rrorn the shed and after securing the
door, returned to the cabin. He was
again met by Bess, who relieved him
of the bowl; they exchanged a lew
words and Slosson walked away and
afterward disappeared over the side
of the keel boat.
Tbis much was clear to the Ken
tuckian: food had been taken to some
oue In the shed—to Betty and the
boy!—more likely to George.

Scouts of Science Seek Strange
Places of the Earth.
American Institutions Spend Vas*
Sums in Exploration and Send
Their Men to the Darkest
Spots of the Globe.
New York.—Up on the fifth or office
floor of the American Museum o!
Natural History, just opposite the ele
vators, is a bulletin board, on which
are painted fifty or sixty names ol
persons actively connected with the j
institution, all of them well known
and many of them famous through
out the scientific world. Opposite j
each name is a little movable block
of wood f hich shows whether the j
ov ned is in or out.
Inquiry discloses that some of the
"outs" are not far away, but that
many of them have been absent a
long time: that they are in the lonely
corners of the earth and that they
are not likely to be in for another ‘
year or two. These scouts of science ;
come and go at long intervals, but
there are so many of them connected
with the museum that every month
or so some one marks his departure
or arrival on the board.
As a matter of fact such institu
tions as the American Museum of Nat
ural History, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the National Museum at
Washington, and various European
institutions are doing the largest
share of the geographic exploration
of the earth just at present. The
plan that each follows is usually the
same.
First they send out one man alone ;
or two together, to penetrate some
remote region about which nothing is
known. This is really a scientific
scouting party. The instructions are
to more as quickly as possible, but
to make a thorough survey of the-j
scientific possibilities of the country
When the scouts come back and re
port then a large expedition is fitted
out. arrangements being made for it
to stay in the field several years. The
scouts do not accompany this ex
pedition. They are off on another ‘
reconnoissance in some other distant j
part of the world.
Within the last year or so, for in- i
stance, the Museum of Natural His
lory sent E. O. Hovev to the West in
dies and thence to the Chihuahua dis
met cf Mexico to study volcanoes. It
sent Henry E. Crumpton on three ex
peditions to Tahiti and the South Sea
islands, and iater to British Guiana j

Just before Prof. Andrews started
in his scouting expedition after the
Corean tiger, the writer asked him '
what he feared most in venturing into
a totally unknown, unexplored region :
Was it fever, or accident or hostile '
natives, or all those things combined? ]
"The only thing 1 ever worry !
about.” replied Prof. Andrews, "is
whether I will get enough to eat or
not. On an expedition where you are 1
traveling alone with just the smallest .
•■umber of servants and going into a 1
region that you know nothing about. ;
you can take only a limited amount of !
food. For the rest you have to rety on
the country.
“If you can t kill enough game or
ntch enough fish, or find food in some
way. you’re going to starve. If you
have plenty to eat. you needn't worry
about anything else Broken legs
sickness, hostile natives and so on
will come your way if it's down in the !
books that they're going to. But. no I
matter what else happens, you abso
lutely must have plenty of grub. If
you don’t, then you’ve got something
big to worry about.”

he is always meeting some othei

Royal Mounted Police north of th*
most northerly forts of the Hudson's j

So it is that on every world end
steamer they are likely to find some
one they know or who knows some
one they have met. Therefore, lone
ly as their lives are. they no soonei
