CHAPTER XXVI I (Continued.)
lie waited now ror the night to
come, and to him the sun seemed
fixed In the heavens. At Uello Plain
Tom Ware was watching it with a
shuddering sense of the swiftness ot
1U flight. Hut at last tho tops of the
tall trooB obscured It; it sank quickly
then and blazod a ball of lire beyond
tho 'Arkansas coast, while Ita dying
glory spread aslant tho heavens, turn
ing the Hanks of tho gray clouds to
violet and purple and gold.
With tho first approach of darkness
Carrlngton made his way to the shed.
Hidden In tho shadow he paused to
listen, and fancied ho heard difficult
breathing from within. Tho door
creaked hideously on Its wooden
binges when bo pushed it open, but as
It swung back tho last remnant of
the day's light showed him somo dark
object lying pron on the dirt floor.
He reached down and his hand rested
on a man's booted foot.
"Qeorgo " Carrlngton spoke softly,
but the man on the floor gave no sign
tiut he heard, and Carrington'a ques
tioning touch stealing higher be found
that George If It wero George was
lying on bis side with his arms and
legs securely bound. Thinking be
lept, the Kentucklan shook him gent
ly to arouse him,
"George?" he repeated, still bend
ing above blm. This time an Inartic
ulate murmur answered him. At the
same instant tho woolly head of the
negro came under his fingers and he
discovered the reason of his silence.
He was as securely gagged as be was
bound.
"Listen, George lfi Carrlngton 1
am going to take off this gag, but
don't speak above a whisper thoy
may hear us I" And he cut tho cords
that held tho gag in place.
"How yo got hero, Mas'r Ca'lng
ton?" asked the negro guardedly, as
tho gag fell away,
"Around the head of the bayou."
"Lawdl" exclaimed George, In a
tone of wonder.
"Where's Miss nettyr
"She's In tho cabin yonder fo'
the love ot God, cut these hero other
ropes with yo" knife. Mas'r Ca'lngton
I'm perlshln' with 'em I" Carrlng
ton did ae he asked, nnd groaning,
George sat erect. "I'm like I was
gone to sleep all over," he said.
"You'll feel bettor in a moment. Tell
me about Miss Malroy?"
"They done fetched us hero last
night. 1 was drlvin' MiSBy into Hal
elgh her and young Mas'r Hazard
when fo' men stop us in tho road."
"Who wore they, do you know?"
asked Carrlngton.
"Lawd what's that?"
Carrlngton, knife lu ' hand, swung
about on bis heel. A lantern's light
flashed suddenly In bis face and Hess
Hicks, with n low Btartled cry break
ing from her lips, paused In the door
way. Springing forward,. Carrlngton
eized her by the wrist.

"Hush!" he grimly warned.
"What are you doln' here?" demand
ed the girl, as she endeavored to shake
off hlB hand, but Carrlngton drew her
Into the shed, and closing the door,
set his back against it. There was a
brief silence during which BeBS re
garded the Kentucklan with a kind of
stolid fearlessness. She was the first
to speak. "I reckon you-all have come
after Miss Malroy," she observed
quietly.
"Then you reckon right," answered
Carrlngton. The girl studied htm
from her level brows.
"And you-all think you can take
her away from hero," she speculated.
"I ain't afraid of yo' knife you-all
might use It fast enough on a man,
but not on me. I'll help you," she
added. Carrlngton gave her an in
credulous glance. "You don't believe
me? That would fetch our men up
from tho keel boat. No yo-all's knife
wouldn't stop me!"
"Don't bo too sure of, that," said
Carrlngton sternly. The girl met the
menace of his words with soft, full
throated laughter.
"Why, yo' hand's shakln' now, Mr.
Carrlngton!"
"You know me?"
"Yes, I seen you once at Hoggs'."
She made an impatient movoment.
"You can't do nothing against them
fo men unless I help you. Miss Mal
roy s to go down river tonight;
thoy're only waiting fo' a, pilot you
all's got to act quick!"
Carrlngton hesitated.
"Why do you want Miss Malroy to
escape? he said.
The girl's mood changed abruptly.
"I reckon that's a private matter.
Ain't It enough fo' you-all to know
that I do? I'm showing how it can
bo done. Them four men on the keel
boat nro strangers In these parts,
they're waiting fo' a pilot, but they
don't know who he'll be. I've heard
you-all was a river-man; what's to
hinder yo' taking the pilot's place?
Looks like yo' was willing to risk yo'
llfo fo' MIbb Malroy or you wouldn't
be here."
"I'm ready," said Carrlngton, his
hand on the door.
"No, you ain't Jest yet," Interposed
the girl hastily. "Listen, to me first.
They's a dugout tied up 'bout a hun
dred yards above tho keel boat; you
must get tbat to cross in to tho other
side of tho bayou, then when yo're
ruady to coino back yo'ro to whistle
three timos It's tho signal we're ex
pectingand I'll row across fo' you in
one of the skiffs."
"Can you seo Miss Malroy in the
moantuno?"
"If I want to, 'they's nothln' to hin
der mo," responded Boss sullenly.
"Tell hor thon " began Carrlng
ton, but Hess Interrupted blm.
, "I know whKt yo' want. Sbo ain't
to cry out or nothln' when she sees
you-all. I got sense enough ro' that."
Carrlngton looked nt her curiously.
"This may bo a sorlous business for
your people," be said significantly,
anr watched her narrowly.
"And you-all may fat killed. 1 reck

enough you don't mind much what
comcB after," she answered with a
hard little laugh, aa she went from
the shed.
"Come!" Bald Carrlngton to the ne
gro, when he had seen the cabin door
close on Bess and her lantern; and
they stole across the clearing. Reach
ing the bayou side they began a noise
less search for the dugout, which they
quickly found, and Carrlngton turned
to George. "Can you swim?" be
asked.
"Yes,-Mas'r."
"Then go down Into the water and
drag the canoe farther along tho shore
and for God's Bake, no sound!" he
cautioned.
They placed a second hundred
yards betwen themselves and the keel
boat in this manner, then he had
George bring tbe dug-out to tho bank,
and they embarked. Keeping within
tho shadow of the trees that fringed
tho shore, Carrlngton paddled silent
ly nbout the head of the bayou.
"George," he at length said, bend
ing toward tbe negro; "my horso Is
tied In the woods on the right-hand
side of the road Just where you were
taken from the carriage last night
you can be at Belle Plain Inside of an
hour."
"Look here, Mas'r Ca'lngton, those
folks yonder Is kin to Boss Hicks, if
he gets his hand on me first don't
you reckon he'll stop my mouth? I
been here heaps ot times fotchln' let
ters fo' Mas'r Tom," added George.
"Who were the letters for?" asked
the Kentucklan, greatly surprised.
"They was fo' that Captain Murrell;
seems like him and Mas'r Tom was
mixed up in u sight of business."
"When was this recently?" in
quired Carrlngton. He was turning
ovor this astonishing statement of the
slave over In his mind.
"Well, no, Mas'r; seems like they
ain't so thick here recently."
"I reckon you'd better keep away
from tho big house yet a while," said
Carrlngton. "Instead ot going there,
atop at the Belle Plain landing. You'll
find a raft tied up to the shore; it be
longs to a man named Cavendish. Tell
blm what you know that I've found
Miss Malroy and the boy; tell blm to
cast off and drift down here. I'll run
the keel boat aground the first chance
I get, so tell blm to keep a sharp
lookout."
CHAPTER XXVIII.
The Keel Boat.
A few minutes later they bad sepa
rated, George to hurry away In search
ot tho horse, and Carrlngton to pass
back along the shoro until he gained
a point opposite tho clearing.. He
whistled shrilly three times, and after
an interval of waiting heard the
splash of oars and presently saw a
skiff steal out of tho gloom'.
"Who's there?" IP was Bess who
asked the question.
"Carrlngton," he answered.
"Lucky you ain't met the other
man!" she said ar she fcwept her skin
alongside tbe bank.
I "Lucky for blm, you mean. I'll take
BBS ' ".'5'lSB JH-J-" ' ".P" H
tho oars," added Carrlngton, as b
entered the skiff.
Slowly tho clearing lifted out of the
darkness, then the keel boat became
distinguishable; and Carrlngton
checked the skiff by a backward
stroke of the oars.
"Hello!" he called.
There was no Immediate answer to
his hall, and be called again as bs
sent tho skiff forward.
"What do you want?" asked a surly
volco.
"You want Slosson!" quickly
prompted the girl In a whisper.
"I want to see Slosson!" said Car
rlngton glibly and with confidence.
"Who be you?"
"Murrell sent you," prompted the
girl again, in a hurried whisper.
"Murrell" And in his astonish
ment Carrlngton spoke aloud.
"Murrell?" cried the voice sharply.
"sent me!" said Carrlngton quick
ly, as though completing an unfin
ished sentence. The girl laughed nerv
ously under her breath.
"Row closter!" came the sullen
command, and the Kentucklan did as
he was bidden. Four men stood In
the bow of the keel boat, a lantern
was raised aloft and by Ita light they
looked him over. There was a mo
ment's silence broken by Carrlngton,
who asked:
"Which one of you Is Slosson?"
"I'm Slosson," answered the man
with the lantern. The previous night
Mr. Slosson had been somewhat un
der the enlivening and elevating in
fluence of corn whisky, but now he
was his own cheerless self, and rath
er Jaded by the passing of the bours
which he had sacrificed to an Irk
somo responsibility. "What word do
you fetch from, the captain, brother?"
he demanded.
"MIbb Malroy Is to be taken down
river," responded Carrlngtpn.
Slosson swore with surpassing flu
ency. "Say, we're five able-bodied men
risking our necks to oblige him! You
can get married a damn sight easier
than this If you go about It right I've
done it lotB of times." Not under
standing the significance ot Slosson's
allusion to his own matrimonial ca
reer, Carrlngton held his peace. Tbe
tavern-keeper swore again with un
impaired vigor. "You'll find mighty
few men with more experience than
me," he asserted, shaking his bead.
"But if you say the word "
"I'm all for getting shut ot this!"
answered Carrlngton promptly, wltb
a sweep ot his nrm. "I call these
pretty close quarters!"
Still shaking bis head and mutter
ing, the tavern-keeper sprang ashore
and mounted the bank, wbere his
slouching figure quickly lost Itself in
the night.
Carrlngton took up his station on
tho flat roof of tbe cabin which tilled
tbe stern ot the boat. He was remem
bering that day In the sandy Barony
road and during all the weeks and
months that had Intervened, Murrell,
working in secret, had moved stead
lly toward the fulfilment of his de
sires! Unquestionably bo had been
back of the attack on Norton, had in
spired bis subsequent murder, and tbe
man's sinister and mysterious power
had never been suspected. Carrlng
ton knew tbat tbe horse-thieves and
slave stealers were supposed to main
tain a loosely knit association; be
wondered It Murrell were not the
moving spirit In some such organiza
tion. "If I'd only pushed my quarrel with
blm!" he 'thought bitterly.
He beard Slosson's shuffling step In
the distance, a word or two when he
spoke gruffly to some one, and a mo
ment later he saw Betty and tbe boy,
their forms darkly silhouetted against
the lighter. sky as they moved along
the top of the bank. Slosson, with
out any superfluous gallantry, helped
his captives down the slope and
aboard tho keel boat, where be locked
them In the cabin, the door of which
fastened with a hasp and wooden peg.
"You're boss now, partner!" be
said, Joining Carrlngton at the steer
ing oar.
"We'll cast off then," answered
Carrlngton.
ThuB far nothing had occurred to
mar bis plans. If they could but quit
the bayou before tbe arrival of tbe
man whose place he had taken the
rest would be, It not easy of accom
plishment, at least within the realm
ot the possible.
"I reckon you're a river-man?" ob
served Slosson.
"All my life."
Tbe lino bad been cast off, and tbe
crew with their setting poles were
forcing tbe boat away from tbe bank.
All waB quietly done; except for an
occasional order from Carrlngton no
word was spoken, and soon tbo un
wieldy craft glided into the sluggish
current and gathered way. Mr. Slos
son, who cleprly regarded his relation
to the adventure as being of an ottt
clal character, continued to stand at
Carrington's elbow.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Director of Evening)
Department, Tho Moody Bible Institute;
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPT. 8
THE MISSION OF THE TWELVE;
LESSON TEXT-Matt. 9:33 to 10:15 and.
10H0 to 11:L
GOLDEN TEXT-"IIo thnt rccelvoth
you recclveth mo, nnd he that roeolvoth
jno recelveth him that sent me." Matt'.
10:40.
The first verso of our lesson is a
vivid picture of tho life of our Lord.
Going about from village to village,
ho taught, healed and preached the
good tidings of his new kingdom.'
Why? Not only because of his com
passionate heart as revealed In tho
second vorse of tho lesson, but also
ns a proof ot his claims and, "tbat be
lieving yo might have llfo through bis
namo," John 20:30, 31. This docs not,
however, lessen tho forco of this sec
ond vorse, for Jesus as tho true Shep
herd was indeed "touched with a feel
ing ot our infirmities." Seeing the
multitude thus without a shepherd, so
faint and weary as to lay down and
knowing that his grcnt work was to
be carried on by others after he had
"finished" It upon Calvary, ho makes
special provision by choosing tho
tweh'o nnd tolling them definitely how
to carry on his ministry.
Jesus realized that no ono man can
minister to all others except as ho
multiplies his personality in tho lives
of others. So it is that he gives tho
church of today a powerful examplo of
how to answer tho prayer of verso 38
by his practical method suggested in
verse ,1 of chapter 10. His vision of
verso '36 is the passion of his life and
he Intends it to be the passion of our
lives.
Disciples Restricted.
Following this introduction wo find
a list of tho peculiarly chosen ones
who are to bo his vlce-gorcnts after
his passing, nnd from verse G on we
find tho chargo he delivers to them.
There is in this charge, first, tho note
of limitation, verses 5 to 15; secondly,
the note of warning, verses 16 to 23,
and thirdly the note of comparison,
verse 24 to the end of this chapter
and Including 10:1. True, In tbls les
son we have only the first section, tho
limitation together with the final
words ot the charge which in reality
amounts to a complete identification
of his apostlcB with himself and his
life of ministry.
Notice the grouping of the names
of these disciples. First the three
who formed that Inner circle, Peter,
James and John, and with them An
drew, who first brought Peter to Je
sus (John 1:41). After these the
names are in groups of two, and it
waa as such they vveru afterwards
Bent out, Mark 6:7. So we ..oday are
not alone. Matt. 28:20, Act 1:8.
Let us observe the restriction placed
upon these disciples. They aro to
minister not to the Gentiles nor oven
the Samaritans, though Jesus did both
during his life, John 4:4 and Matt
15:22, but not so these whom ho now
Is sending, at least not till his work is
complete and Israel has had its day
of opportunity. After Calvary this re
striction is removed, as wo can seo
from the book ot Acts.
Another restriction is in the mes
sage and the method. The message
'is to bo the good news of the king
dom. They are to "herald forth" tbat
It is at hand. That the MesBlah has
come. Wo are told that they are not
to force the acceptance of their mes
sage. That in its proclamation they
shall receive all sorts of opposition.
That they must look well to their
own character, they are to be as sheep
amidst wolves, they shall be haled
before courts and potentates, but such
persecution shall be a witness against
their persecutors for "bis sake."
Bearing of Disciples.
What is to be their method? First,
it is to be tint of absolute depend
ence upon the Father. It is true that
Paul labored with his own hands, but
at the same time he accepted the
bounty ot the churches and urged that
such fruit might abound, Phil. 4:10,
15, 17. Jesus Is here teaching us the,
other lesson that the "laborer is wor
thy ot his hire." The dlsclplo is tq
heal. The ministry of hospital, nurs
ing and godly physicians is a marvel
ous fulfillment of this command. Ob
serve well the ministry of medical
missions. There is no greater inspi
ration to the Christian church. What
Is to be the bearing of these disciple's 1
It is to bo that or dignity and self
respect, see Luke 10:5.
While it is true the disciple Is to
offer and not to force hla message
upon the peoplo, yet for Israel to re
ject was Indeed a worse state than
that of Sodom and Gomorrah, "The
overthrow and scattering of the Jew
ish nation Is a byword In history.
As to the note of compassion, we
should read all of this chapter.
Remember the dignity of our work.
Remember that we go In the name ot
One who came to "shew forth the Fa
ther." Remember that as we thus
"forth-tell" and shew forth our. Father
and that as we receive others and oth
ers receive us we honor the Father.
Social service is good, but let it be
done in the name of a disciple and to
the glory of God the Father. Such,
indeed, Is the practical life of the
called ones who follow In the steps
ot him who came to minister and not
to be ministered unto.

ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
8hort Essay Evidently Written by One
Familiar With This Species of
Animal.
A philosopher Is a man, and rarely
a woman, who, having nothing to da
and being glad of It, puts in his time
explaining the reason that other peo
plo should have for doing things.
Philosophers aro not popular be
cause, in the first place, most men are
too busy to listen to them, and, In
the second place, they are satisfied
with their own reason for doing things.
Nevertheless, philosophers areVont
to gravitate toward comfortable stoves
in corner groceries, wbere men ot
varying leisures straggle in and to
wards comfortable chairs in universi
ties whore helpless youth are com
pelled to listen as a part of an awful
punishment called a curriculum.
Whenever a philosopher becomes fa
mous, It always turns out that he Is
not a philosopher at all, but a scien
tist. Simon pure philosophers never
give information, because nothing less
than explaining the unknowable will
satisfy them. One philosopher will
never agree with another philosopher

THIRTEEN YEARS
Unlucky Number for Dakota Woman.
The question whether tbe number
"13" Is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Dak. woman, after thirteen
years ot misery from drinking coffee,
found a way to break the "unlucky
spell." Tea is just as Injurious as cof
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She writes:
"For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, heart in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by it.
"Last year I was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally it dawned on
me that coffee caused tbe trouble.
Then I began using Postum Instead of
coffee,, but with little faith, as my
mind was in such a condition tbat I
hardly knew what to do next.
"Extreme nervousnes and failing
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after I quit coffee
and began to use Postum I was able
to read and my head felt clear. I am
Improving all the time and I will be a
strong, well woman yet.
'-'I have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.
8. wanted to know where I bought my
fine coffee. I told her my grocer had
ft and when she found out It was Pos
tum she has used It ever since, and

all, I enjoy such sound, pleasant sleep."
