CHAPTER XXVIII.—(Continued.)
What have we between here and
the river" ' inquired the latter. It was
best, he felt. not to give Slosson an
opportunity to ask questions.
It narrows considerably, pardner,
but it's a straight course." said Slos
son. ' Black in yonder, ain't it?’’ he
added, nodding ahead.
The acres drew rapidly together;
They were leaving the lake-like ex
panse behind. In the silence, above
the rust, mg of the trees. Carrington
b«-aru the first fret of the river against
its bank. Slosson yawned prodigious
ly
“I reckon you am t needing me?'
he said.
“Better go up In the bow and get
some sleep." advised Carrington, and
Slosson. nothing loath, clambered
down from the roof of the cabin and
stumbled forward
The ceaseless murmur of the rush
ing waters grew In the stillness as
the keel boat drew nearer the hurry
ing yellow good, and the beat of the
Kentuckian s pulse quickened. Would
he find the raft there? He glanced
back over the way they had come
The dark ranks of the forest walled
oS the clearing, but across the water
a dim point of light was risible. He
fixed Its position as somewhere near
the bead of the bayou. Apparently it
was a lantern, but as he looked a
ruddy glow crept up against the sky
line.
From the bow Bunker had been ob
serving this singular phenomenon.
Suddenly he bent and roused Slos
son, who had fallen asleep. The tav
ern-keeper sprang to his feet and
Bunker pointed without speaking.
“Mebuy you can tell me what that
light back yonder means?" cried Slos
son. addressing himself to Carring
ton; as he spoke he snatched up his
rifle.
’That's what I'm trying to make
out." answered Carrington.
“Hell!" cried Slosson, and tossed
his gun to his shoulder
What seemed to be a breath ol
wind lifted a stray lock of Csrrlng
ton's hair, but bis pistol answered
Slosson in the same second. He tired
at the huddle of men in the bow of
the boat and one of them pitched for
ward with bis arms outspread
"Keep back, you!" be said, and
dropped off the cabin roof.
His promptness had bred a momen
tary panic, then Slosson’s bull-like
voice began to roar commands; but in
that brief instant of surprise and
shock Carrington had found and with
drawn the wooden peg that fastened
! the cabin door. He had scarcely done
this when Slosson came tramping aft
supported by the three men.
Calling to Betty and Hannibal to es
cape in the skiff which was towing
astern the Kentuckian rushed towara j
the bow. At his back he heard the !
door creak on its hinges as it was
pushed open by Betty and the boy.
and again he called to them to escape
by the skiff. The fret of the current
had grown steadily and from beneath
’he wide-fiung branches of the trees
w hich here met above his head. Car
rington caught sight of the star
specked arch of the heavens beyond.
They were issuing from the bayou.
He felt the river snatch at the keel
boat, the buffeting ot some swift eddy.
! and saw tbe blunt bow swing off to
the south as they were plunged into
the black shore shadows.
But what he did not see was a big !
i muscular hand which had thrust itself ■
out of the impenetrable gloom and J
clutched the side of the keel boat. Co
incident with this there arose a per
; feet babel of voices, high-pitched and .
| shrilL
• Sho’—I bet it s him! Sho—it’s Cn
c'.e Bob’s nevvy! Sho’. you can hear
em! Sho’, they're shoctin’ guns! !
Sho !"
Carrington cast a hurried glance In
the direction of these sounds. There
i between the boat and the shore the j
dim outline of a raft was taking shape.
It was now canopied by a wealth of
| pale gray smoke that faded from be
i fore bis eves as the darkness lifted.
The light increased. From the Hat i
stone hearth of the raft ascended a
tall column of flame which rendered
visible six pigmy figures, tow-headed i
and wonderfully vocal, who were toil- j
ing like mad at the huge sweeps. The
light showed more than this it j
showed a lady of plump and pleasing J
; presence smoking a cob-pipe while she
: fed the fire from a tick stuffed with
straw. It showed two bark shanties,
a line between them decorated with
the never-ending Cavendish wash, it
showed a rooster perched on the
ridge-pole of one of these shanties In
the very act of crowing lustily.
Hannibal, who had climbed to the
roof of the cabin, shrieked for help,
and Betty added her voice to his.
“Ail right, Newy!" came the cheer
ful reply, as Yancy threw himself
over the side of the boat and grap
pled with Slosson.
“Uncle Bob! Uncle Bob!" cried
Hannibal.
Slosson uttered a cry of terror. He
had a simple but sincere faith in tne
supernatural, and even with the
Scratch Hiller's big bands gripping
his throat, he could not rid himself of
the belief that this was the ghost of
a murdered man.
“You'll take a dogs licking from
me, neighbor,” said Yancy grimly. ”11
been saving it to’ you!”
Meanwhile Mr. Cavendish, whose
proud spirit never greatly inclined
him to the practice of peace, had pre
pared for battle. Springing aloft he
knocked his heels together.
"Whoop! I’m a man as can slide I
down a thorny locust and never get
scratched!” he shouted. This was
equivalent to setting his triggers; i
then he launched himself nimbly and
with enthusiasm into the thick of the :
fight. It was Mr. Bunker's unfortu
nat3 privilege to sustain the onslaugnt
of the Earl of Lambeth.
The light from the Cavendish 1
hekrth continued to brighten the
scene, for Polly was recklessly sac
rificing her best straw tick. Indeed
her behavior was in every way worthy
of the noble alliance she had formed.
Her cob-pipe was not suffered to go
out and with Connie's help she kept
the six small Cavendishes from risk
ing life and limb in the keel boat, to- j
ward which they were powerfully:
drawn. Despite these activities she:
found time to call to Betty and Han-1
nibai on the cabin roof.
“Jump down here; that ain’t no fit
tin' place for you-all to stop in wita
them gentlemen fightin !"
An instant iater Betty and Hanni
bal stood on the raft with the littie
Cavendishes Seeking about them. Mr.
Yancy's quest of his newy had taken
an enduring hold on their imagina
tion. For weeks it had constituted
their one vital topic, and the fight be
came merely a satisfying background
for this interesting restoration.
“Sho', they'd cot him! Sho'—he
wa'n’t no bigger than Richard! Sho’!’’
"Oh!” cried Betty, with a fearful
glance toward the keel boat. "Can't
you stop them?”
“What to'?" asked Polly, opening
her black eyes very wide. “Bless yo'
tender heart!—you don’t need tc wor
ry none, we got them strange gentle
men licked like they was a passel of
children! Connie, you-all mind that
fire!"
She accurately judged the outcome
of the fight. The boat was little bet
ter than a shambles with the havoc
that had been wrought there when
Yancy and Carrington dropped over
its side to the raft. Cavendish fol
lowed them, whooping his triumph as
he came.
CHAPTER XXIX.
The Raft Again.
Taney and Cavendish threw them
selves on the sweeps and worked the
vxi
He Launched Himself Nimbly and With Enthusiasm Into the FighL
raft clear of the keel boat, then the
turbulent current seized the smaller
craft and wnirled it away Into the
night: as its black bulk receded from
before his eyes the Earl of Lambeth
spoke with the voice of authority and
experience.
“It was a eood fight and them fel
lows done well, but not near well
enough." A conclusion that could
not be gainsaid. He added. "No one
ain't hurt but them that bad ought to
have got hurt. Mr. Yaneys all right,
and so's Mr. Carrington—who's
mighty welcome here."
“Mr. Carrington's kin to me. Pol
ly,” explained Yancv to Mrs. Caven
dish. His voice was far from steady,
for Hannibal had been gathered into
bis arms and had all but wrecked the
stoic calm with which the Scratch
Hiller was seeking to guard his emo
tions.
Polly smiled and dimpled at the
Kentuckian Trained to a romantic
point of view she had a frank liking
for handsome, stalwart men. Caven
dish was neither, but none knew bet- i
ter than Polly that where he was most
lacking in appearance ne was richest i
in substance. He carried scars hon-'
orably earned in those differences he
had been prone to cultivate with less
generous natures: for his scheme oi
life did not embrace the millennium.
"Thank God, you got here when
you did!” said Carrington.
"\Ye was some pushed to' time, but
we done it.” responded the eari mod
estly. He added. 'What cow?—do we
make a landing.’ "
“No—unless it interferes with your
plans not to. 1 want to get around
the next bend before we tie up. Later
we’ll all go back. Can 1 count on
you?'*
“You shorely can. 1 consider this
here as sociable a neighborhood as 1
ever struck. It pleases me well.
Folks are up and doing hereabout.”
Carrington looked eagerly around tn ’
search of Betty. She was sitting on
an upturned tub. a pathetic enough
figure as she drooped against the wall
of one of the shanties with all her
courage quite gone from her. He
made his way quickly to her side.
"La!” whispered Polly In Chills and
Fever's ear. "If that pore young thing
yonder keeps a widow it won’t be be
cause of any encouragement she gets
from Mr. Carrington. If 1 ever seen
marriage in a man's eye I seen it In
bis this minute!"
"Bruce!” cried Betty, starting up as
Carrington approached. "Oh. Bruce,
I am so glad you have come—you are
not hurt?” She accepted his presence
without question.
"We are none of us hurt, Betty.” ne
said gently, as he took her hand.
He saw that the suffering she had
undergone during the preceding
twenty-four hours had left Its record
on her tired face and In her heavy
eyes. She retained a shuddering con
sciousness of the unchecked savagery
of those last moments on the keel
boat; she was still hearing the oaths
of the men as they struggled together,
the sound of blows, and the dreadful
silences that had followed them. She
turned from him, and there came the
relief of tears.
"There, Betty, the danger is over
new and you were so brave while it
lasted. I can't bear to have you cry!”
"I was wild with fear—all that time
cn the boat, Bruce—” she faltered be
tween her sobs. “I didn't know but
they would find you out. I could only
wait and hope—and pray;”
“I was in no danger, dear. Didn't
the girl tell you I was to take the
place of a man Slosscn was expect
ing? He never doubted that l was
that man untii a light—a signal it
must have been—cn the shore at the
head of the bayou betrayed me.”
"Where are we going now. Bruce?
Not the way they went—” and Betty
glanced out into the black void where
the keel boat had merged Into the
gloom.
“No, no—but we can't get the raft
back up-stream against the current,
so the best thing is to land at the
Bates' plantation below here; then as
soon ps yuu are able we can return to
Belle Plain," said Carrington
There was an interval broken only
by the occasional sweep of the great
steering oar as Cavendish coaxed the
raft out toward the channel. The
thought of Charley Norton s murder
rested on Carrington Like a pall.
Scarcely a week had elapsed since he
| quitted Thicket Point, and in that
j*week the hand of death had dealt
with them impartially, and to what
end?
“ICs best we should land at Bates'
place—we can get teams there.” he
went on to explain. "And. Betty,
wherever we go well go together,
dear. Cavendish doesn't look as if he
had any very urgent business of his
own, and I reckon the same is true
of Yancy, so I am going to keep them
with us. There are some points to be
cleared up when we reach Belle Plain
—some folks who'll have a lot to ex
plain or else quit this part of the
state! And I intend to see that you
are not left alone until—until I have
the right to take care of you for good
and all—that's what you want me to
do one of these days, isn't it, dar
ling?” and his eyes, glowing and in
finitely tender, dwelt on her upturned
face.

Genuine Tribute to Woman

Robert G. Ingersoll's Eloquent Appre
ciation of the Qualities of the
Gentler Se*.
It takes 100 men to make an en
campment. but one woman can make
a borne. 1 not only admire woman as
tbe most beautiful object ever created,
bet I reverence ber as tbe redeeming
glory of humanity, tbe sanctuary of ail
virtues, tbe pledge of all perfect quali
ties of beart and bead. It is not just
nor rlgbt to lay tbe sms of men at tbe
feet of women. It is because women
are so much better than men that
tbeir faults are considered greater. A
man's desire is tbe foundation of bis
lore, but a woman’s desire is born of
her lore The one thing In this world
that is constant, tbe one peak that
rises abov" ail clouds, the one win
dow tn which tbe Upfct forever burns.
•r.» om star mat darkness cannot
quench 1/ woman’s love, it rises to
'•« greatest heights. It sinks to tbe
lowest depths. It forgives tbe most
cruel Injuries. It is perennial of life
and grows In every climate. Neither
coldness nor neglect, harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish It. A woman's
love is the perfume of the heart. This
Is the real love that subdues the
earth; the love that has wrought all
miracles of art; that gives us music
all the way from the cradle song to
the grand closing symphony that
bears the soul away on wings of fire.
A love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger than
death.—Robert G. Ingersoll.
His Money’s Worth.
A man with a long but scanty beard
and a gimlet eye came Into Cyrus
| Teed’s general store, in a little New
Hampshire town, and called for five
cents worth of peanuts. Cyrus meas
ured out r pint and handed the bag
over. The man weighed it in his hand
and looked more discontented than
ever.
"There ain’t many there, be they?”
be asked querulously. "Ain't it kinder
small measure?"
"Regular full pint, what I always
give for a nickel!" snapped Cyrus,
who knew his customer well.
“Why, when I was down in Boston."
argued the bearded man. “there was a
place there where I could get twicet
as many peanuts as this for five
cents.”
“Well,” said Mr. Teed, definaltly.
"the round trip to Boston is only
$2.55. Why don’t ye go down to Bos
ton and get your money's worth?”
This closed the incident.—Youth's

WESTERN CANADA’S
PROSPERITY
NOT A BOOM. BUT DUE TO NAT
URAL DEVELOPMENT.
One of the largest banks in Holland
has been doing a big business in
Western Canada, and Mr. W. Wester
man. the President, on a recent visit
into the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta, expressed
himself as being much impressed with,
present conditions and prospects, and
wras convinced that the great pros
perity of the Dominion wras not a
boom, but merely the outcome of nat
ural developments.
Not cnly has money been invested
largely in Western Canada by tho
Holland Banks, but by those of Ger
many. France, as well as Great Brit
ain. Not only are these countries con
tributing money, but they are also
contributing people, hard headed, in
dustrious farmers, w ho are helping to
produce the two hundred million bush
els of wheat and the three hundred
million bushels of the other small
grains that the Provinces of the
West have harvested this season.
During the past fiscal year there
came into Canada from the Fnited
States 133.710; from Austria Hungary
21,-tr.l; from Belgium 1.<►>>!; Holland
1.077; FYance 2.094; Germany 4.6S4:

from nil countries the immigration to
Canada in that year was 334.237.

Most of these people have gone to

deepest interest in even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ning he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car. but he
did not find It an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi
cally ejected him to the platform be
low.
'“What do yon mean by that?” ask
ed Hitchcock indignantly.
“I mean to keep you out of this
car.” replied the clerk roughly. "That
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out ol
these cars.”—Popular Magazine.
