CHAPTER X. - ( Continued. )
Now that the confidence of Pepeeta
had been secured , David's part in this
drama became comparatively easy. He
listened to the brief conversation in
which by a well-constructed chain of
fictitious reasonings the judge riveted
upon the too eager mind of the child-
wife the conclusion that she was free.
When this arch villain had concluded
his arguments every suspicion had
vanished from her soul , and as he rose
to depart she took him by the hand
and bade him a kindly and almost af-
fectionate farewell. "Do not afflict
yourself ; with this painful memory , "
she said gently.
"I shall not need to afflict myself , "
he replied ; "my memory will afflict
me , for I am as guilty as if the result
had been what I had expected ; and if
In the coming year you find a moment
now and then in which you can lift up
a prayer for a man who has forfeited
his claim to mercy , I beg you to de-
vote it to him who from the depths of
wished ' joy. Good-bye. "
his heart you
With many assurances of her par-
don , Pepeeta followed him to the door
and bade him farewell. When she re-
turned to David her face was lumin-
ous with happiness , and although he
had begun already to experience a re-
action and to suffer remorse for his
successful infamy , it was only like a
drop of poison in the ocean of his joy.
"Did I not tell you that all would
be well ? " she cried , approaching him
and extending both her hands. "But
how sudden and how strange it is. It
is too good to be true. I cannot real-
ize that I am free. I am like a little
bird that hops about its cage , , peeps
through the door which its mistress'
band has opened , and knows not what ,
to think. It wishes to go ; but it is ,
frightened. What shall it do , David ?
Tell it ! Shall it fly ? "
"I also am too bewildered to act and
almost too bewildered to think , " he
said , with unaffected excitement and
anxiety , for now that the time and op-
take momen-
portunity for him to so
tous a step had come , his heart failed
him. It was only with the most vio-
lent effort and under a most pressing
necessity that he pulled himself to-
gether and continued :
"The little bird must fly : , and its
mate must fly with it. There are too
few hours before daylight and we
must not lose a single one. But are
you sure that you are quite ready ? Is
your mind made up ? Will you go with
me trustfully ? Will you accept what- I
ever the future has in store ? " :
She took his in her strong arms ,
printed her first kiss upon his lips ,
Sind said : "I will go with you to the
ends of the earth ! I will go with you
through water and through fire ! The
future cannot bring me anything from
Which I shall shrink , if it lets us meet
It hand in hand ! "
Silently and swiftly they gathered
together the few necessities of a sud-
flen journey , stole out of the quiet
building and hurried away to a livery
table. In a few moments they were
rattling down the rough cobble-stone
pavement to the river. The 1"I
Who had been retained for this very
purpose , pretended to be asleep. They
aroused him , drove onto the platform
of his primitive craft and floated out
upon the stream. As the boat swung
clear of the shore they heard music
Issuing from the cabin windows of a
steamer under whose stern they were
passing. It was the "Mary Ann. They
listened. The music ceased for a mo-
ment and a deep voice called out
"B-b-bravo ! Another song ! "
They recognized it instantly , and
Pepeeta pressed close to the side of
her lover.
"You hear it for the last time , " he
whispered.
The swift current seized the boat ,
twisting it hither and thither till it
seemed to the now trembling fugitive
a symbol of the'stream of tendencies
upon which he had launched the frail
bark containing their united lives.
"I wonder if I am strong enough to
stem it ? " he a ked himself , as the boat
grated on the Ueach.
"Can we find a minister who will
marry us at this time of night ? " Da
vid said to the ferryman although he
had been careful to ask this question
before. .
"Two blocks south and three east ,
second door on the right hand side ;
he answered laconically , as he receiv
ed the fare ?
Such adventurers passed often
through his hands
and their ways were
nothing new. The fugitives drove hur-
riedly to the designated house , knocked
at the door ,
were admitted and in a
few minutes the final act which sealed
their fate had been performed. .
CHAPTER XI.
When he awoke the next morning
from a revel , the doctor crawled back
to the hotel as best he could , his head
throbbing with pain , his wits dull and
his temper wild. Stumbling up the
long flight of stairs which seemed to
him to reach the sk '
sky , he burst open
his door and entered the
room. It was
empty. Pepeeta was nowhere to be
seen. It took him some moments to
comprehend that he did not compre-
hend. Then he called , "Pepeeta ! Pe
peeta ! "
The silence at first bewildered , then
aroused him , and crossing the corridor
he entered David's room. It , too , was
empty. He was now thoroughly as-
tonished and awake. Recrossing the
hall he once more entered his room
and began in earnest to seek an ex-
planation of this mystery. It did not
take him long , for on the table were
lying the jewels in which he had in-
rested his profits and which he had
zonflded to Pepeeta-and beside them
L . piece . of paper on which he slowly
. tyellfd out these startling words . : ,
- - - - - : - - - . : : - : - ' - : : ' - : ; 1----- : ; : ; : : : : : : = -
"I have discovered your treachery
and fled. PEPEETA. "
He drew his hand across his eyes ,
took a piece of his cheek between his
thumb and first finger and pinched it
to see if he were awake , then read the
words again , this time aloud : "I have
discovered your treachery and fled.
Pepeeta. " "Treachery ? " he said.
"What t-t-treachery ? Whose t-t-
< 4with
treachery ? Fled ? Fled with whom ,
fled where ? I wonder if I am still
d-d-drunk ? "
At last , and almost with the rapid-
ity of a stroke of lightning , the whole
mystery solved itself. It flashed upon
his mind that Pepeeta had abandoned
him , and in company with the man
he had so implicitly trusted. The ser
pent he had nourished in his besom
had at last stung him ! Tearing the
paper into shreds , and stamping upon
the floor , he cursed and raved.
A purpose shaped itself instantly in
his mind , and he began its execution
without delay. He made no confidant ,
took no advice ; but having smoothed
his ruffled clothing and combed "his
disheveled hair so as to excite no
comment and provoke no question , he
passed through the hotel corridor and
office , greeting his acquaintances with
his accustomed ease , and made his
way to the livery stable. He went at
once to the stalls where his famous
team was accustomed to stand , and to
his astonishment and delight found his
horses both there.
"Tom , " he said to the hostler , "did
you hire a horse and b-b-buggy to a
young couple last night ? "
"I did not , " answered the surly
groom.
"I am in no mood for trifling. Out
with it , you scoundrel ! " he cried , seiz-
ing him by the throat.
With a sign of terror the groom in-
dicated his readiness to come to terms ,
and the doctor relaxed his grip. Still
trembling , he told the truth.
"Do you : know which road they
took ? " *
He waved his hand . toward Ken
tucky.
"Put a saddle on Hamlet-no , on Ro
meo , " he ordered , tersely .
The groom entered a box stall and
let out the black beauty. The doctor
glanced him over and smiled. And
well he might , for every muscle , every
motion betokened speed , intelligence ,
endurance.
The pursuer made a single stop on
his way to the river and that was at
a gun store , from which he emerged
carrying a pair of saddle bags on his
arm. In the holsters were two loaded
pistols.
He smiled as he mounted , having al-
ready consummated vengeance in his
heart. Once across the river and safe
upon the Louisville pike , he loosened
the reins. The horse , whose sympa-
thetic heart had already1 been imbued
with the spirit of his rider , shook his
long black mane , plunged forward and
pounded along the hard turnpike. His
hoofbeats-sharp , sonorous , rhythmical
-seemed to be crying for vengeance ;
for hoof-beats have a language : , and
always utter the thoughts of a rider.
The forests , hills and houses flowed
past him like a river. Occasionally he ' '
halted an instant to inquire of some 'I'
lonely traveler if he had seen a horse
and buggy passing that way , but he
was cunning enough to conceal his
anxiety and to hide his joy as every
answer made him more certain that
he was on the trail of the fugitives.
The road was perfectly familiar. He
had traversed it a hundred times , and
not having to inquire .the way he had
only to remember and" to reflect. An
undercurrent of speculation had been
flowing through his mind as to where
he should overtake the fugitives.
For a mile or two the road was per-
fectly straight and the rider , shading
his eyes , glanced along it. In the dis
tance a moving object attracted his at-
tention , and as he gazed at it , long and
strainingly , the terrible smile once
more wreathed his white lips. There
were only two things present to his
consciousness-the carriage upon
which he was swiftly gaining , and the
fierce smiting of the horse's hoofs
which seemed to be echoing the the
cries of his heart for vengeance. On
he swept , nearer , nearer , nearer. He
was now within hailing distance , and
his brain reeled ; he forgot his discre-
tion and his plan.
"Halt , " he screamed , in a voice that
cut the silent air like a knife.
A face appeared above the top of
the buggy , and looked back. It was
his foe. With a howl of rage , he
snatched a pistol from the holster and
fired. The bullet went wide of the
mark and the next instant he saw the
whip-lash cut the air and descend on
the flank of the startled mare. The
buggy lurched forward , and for an in-
stant drew rapidly away. Overwhelm-
ed by the fear that he might be baf-
fled in his vengeance , he drew the
other pistol and fired again more wide
of the mark than before.
He flung the smoking weapons into
the road , and again drove the spurs in-
to the steaming sides of his horse.
There could be no doubt as to the re-
sult of the chase after that. The half-
maddened animal was overhauling the
fugitives perceptibly at every enor-
mous stride , and in a few moments
more shot by the buggy and up to the
head of the terrified mare. As he did
so , his rider reached out his left hand
and caught the mare by her bridle ,
reined up his own horse and threw
both of the animals back upon their
haunches.
In another instant the two men
stood confronting each other on the
road , the quack black and terrible , the
Quaker white and calm. Not a word
vas , spoken , and like two wild beasts
smerging from a jungle they sprang at
tach other's throats. They were odd-

Iy , but not unequally , matched , for
while the doctor was abort thick-set
and muscular , but clumsy and awk-
ward like a bear , David was tall and
slim , but lithe and sinewy as a pan-
ther. Locked in each other's arms ,
they seemed like a single hideous mon
ster in some sort of convulsion. As it
was impossible for them in this dead-
ly embrace to strike , they wrestled
rather than fought , and Lit with teeth
and tore with hands with . . . equal feroc-
ity. !
ity.At
At the instant when the two infuri
ated men seized each other in this
deadly grip , Pepeeta fainted , while the
terrified mare : backed the buggy into
the bushes by the roadside. Romeo ,
snorting and pawing the ground ,
snuffed at them a moment as is pro-
foundly concerned at their strange
maneuvers , then turning away , began
to crop the rich blue grass in. entire
indifference to the results of this mad
quarrel between two foolish men.
The combatants surged and swayed
back and forth along the dusty road ,
tripping and stumbling in vain efforts
to throw each other to the ground.
Their danger lent them strength , and
their hatred skill. At last , after pro-
tracted efforts , they fell and rolled
over and over , now one on top , now the
other. Suddenly and as if by a single
impulse changing their tactics , their
right hands unclasped and began to
feel for the other's throat. A sudden
slip of David's hold permitted the doc-
tor to turn him over , and sprawling
across his breast he pinioned him to
the earth. His great hand stole to-
ward the throat of his prostrate foe
and fastened upon it with the grip of
an Iron vise.
The beautiful face turned pale , then
grew purple. This would have been
the last moment in the life of the Qua-
ker l had not his right hand , convulsive-
ly clawing the road , touched a piece of
broken roclIt was as if a life-line
had swung up against the hand of a
drowning man. The exhausted youth
untwisted the grip of the iron hand ,
flung off the heavy body , mounted up-
on it , crowded the great head with its
matted hair and staring eyes down in-
to the dust , seized the stone with his
right hand , raised it , and struck.
The effect of the blow was two-fold
-paralyzing the brain of the smitten
and the arm of the smiter. Across the
low forehead of the quack it left a
great gaping wound like a bloody
mouth. A death-like pallor spread it-
self over his countenance , the lids
dropped back and left the eyes staring
hideously up into the face above them.
David's arm , spasmodically uplifted
for a second blow , was suspended in
air. He did not move for a long time ;
and when at length his scattered
senses began to return he threw down
the stone , rose to his feet and exclaim-
ed in accents of terror , "I have killed
him. "
He could not overcome the fascina-
tion of the lifeless face and wide-star-
ing eyes. They drew him towards
them ; he stooped down and felt for the
pulse , which was imperceptible ; laid
his hand upon the heart , but could not
feel it beat ; he raised an arm , and it
fell back limp and lifeless.
Suddenly one elemental passion gave
place to another. Horror had displaced
anger , and now in its turn gave way
to the instinct of self-preservation. He
looked toward the carriage and saw
that Pepeeta had fallen into a swoon.
"Perhaps she has not seen what has
happened , " he said to himself , and a
cunning smile lit up his pale face.
Stooping down , he seized the loath-
some object lying there in the dust of
the road and dragged it off into the
thick shrubery. Stumbling along , he
came to a hollow made by the roots
of an upturned tree. Into this he
flung the thing , hastily covered it with
moss and leaves , and stood staring
stupidly at the rude sepulchre. He ex-
perienced a momentary feeling of re-
lief that the hideous object was out
of sight ; but the consciousness of his
guilt and his danger soon surged back
upon him like a flood. In such mo
ments the mind works wildly , like a
clock with a broken spring , but some-
times with an astonishing accuracy
and wisdom.

The Family Pair.
The wriggly stillness of the study
period -was broken by a slamming door , ,
and a thin boy in dirty , ragged clothes
slouched across the room. Half-way to
the teacher's desk he drawled , "Pa
wants that you should ' let Jim go home
right now. " As Miss : Davis looked a
little doubtful , he added , "He kin come
back right away. "
The permission given , the two badly
soiled , half-starved sons of the most
shiftless family in the district shuffled
down the stairs. Very shortly Jim re
turned , wearing a pleased and Impor-
tant smile on his pathetic little face.
"I come as soon's I could. Pa's
'brother's dyin' to Poplar , " he an-
nounced , cheerfully. "That's why pa
wanted me. "
"But you weren't gone long-you
didn't stay home. I can't see why
you went at all , " answered the bewild
ered Miss Davis.
"Why , pa's goln , " explained Jim.
"Yes , but what has that to do with
you ? " asked the teacher.
"Pa had to have his suspenders , "
was Jim's matter-of-fact reply.

It is an elementary although a genu-
ine kind of humor that prompts a man
to make a ridiculous remark in a seri- \
ous manner. The fun increases if the ?
remark is taken at its face value. A
,
case in point is that of a gentleman , , „
who , according to a writer in
Twiggs County Citizen , was talking . ! , .
a crowd on the street about shingling : ' -
a house. ,
"The old rule he said , "was to allow t'II
'II
six inches of the shingle to show to.
the weather , but that is too much. You
really oughtn't to let more than four
" '
inches show.
Some asked in *
wag a matter-of-fact
voice :
"How would it do not to let any
.
show ? "
