CHAPTER XII ! . Continued.
"Now we'll see what's happened , '
eaid Habersham. "It looks almost too
easy. "
The members of Griswold's party
who had been thrown round to the
farther side of the church began to
appear , one at a time. There was no
nervousness among any of the band
a fact that impressed Griswold.
They were all risking much in this
'enterprise , but they were outwardly
unperturbed , and chewing their to
bacco silently while they awaited the
return of the two active agents in the
conspiracy who had dealt directly
with Appleweight. Habersham count
ed heads'and announced all presenter
or accounted for.
The tall leader who had ridden the
mule was the first to rise out of the
underbrush , through which he had
crawled circuitously from the rear of
the church. His companion followed
a few seconds later.
"We've got Bill , all tied and gagged
and a-sitting of his hess , " drawled the
leader , "and the hess is tied to the
back fence. Rest o' his boys thought
lie's gone ahead , but they may miss
lim and come back. He's safe
enough- and ef we keep away from
iim we'll be ready to light out ef the
gang scents trouble and comes back
to look fer Bill. "
"You're sure he's tied up so he can't
break away or yell ? "
"He's as good as dead , a-settin' of
his hess in the thicket back then. "
"And now , " said Habersham , "what
we've got to do is to make a run for
it and land him across the border , and
stick him into a North Carolina jail ,
vhere he rightfully belongs. The ques
tion is , can we do it all in one night ,
or had we better lock him up some
where on this side the line and take
another night for it ? The sheriff over
there in Kildare is Appleweight's
cousin , but we'll lock him up- with
Bill , to make a family party of it"
"We'd better not try too much to
night , " counseled Griswold. "It's a
big thing to have tlie man himself.
If it were not for the matter of put
ting Gov. Dangerfield In a hole , I'd
favor hurrying with Appleweight to
Columbia , just for the moral effect of
it on the people of South Carolina.
We'd make a big killing for the ad
ministration that way , Habersham. "
"Yes , you'd make a killing all right ,
b.ut you'd have Bill Appleweight on
your hands , which Gov. Osborne has
not until lately been anxious for , " re
plied Habersham , in a low tone that
was heard by no one but his old pre
ceptor.
"You'd better get over the idea
that we're afraid of this outlaw , " rejoined - ,
joined Griswold. "The governor of
North Carolina dare not call his soul
his own where these hill people are
concerned ; but the governor of South
Carolina is a different sort"
While they thus stood on South
Carolina soil , waiting for the safe land
complete dispersion of the Mount
Nebo congregation before seizing the
captive they had gagged and tied at
the rear of the little church , the fates
were ordering a very different "ter
mination of the night's business.
Miss Jerry Dangerfield , galloping
away from the duke of Ballywinkle ,
with no thought but to widen the dis
tance between them , turned off at the
first cross-road , which began well
enough , but degenerated rapidly into
a miserable trail , through which she
was obliged to walk her horse. Be
fore she was aware of it she was in
the midst of a clearing where laborers
had "lately been cutting timber , and
she found , on turning to make her
way out , that she was quite lost , for
three trails , all seemingly alike ,
struck off into the forest. She spoke
aloud to the horse to reassure her
self , and smiled as she viewed the
grim phalanx of stumps. She must ,
however , find her way back to Ards-
ley , for there were times when Jerry
Dangerfield could be serious with her
self , though it rarely pleased her to
be se kms with other jeople ; and she
knew that the time had long passed
for her return to the house.
She did not know then that three
men had witnessed her flight from the
duke , or that they had taken swift
vengeance upon him for his unpardon
able conduct in the moon-blanched
road. It was not Jerry's way to ac
cept misfortune tamely , and after cir
cling the wall of timber that shut her
in , in the hope of determining where
she had entered , she chose a trail at
random and plunged into the woods.
"She assumed that probably all the
roads and paths on ihe estate led
more or less directly to the great
house or to some lodge or bungalow.
She had lost her riding-crop in her
mad flight , and she broke off a switch ,
tossing its leaves into the moonlight
and laughing softly as they rained
about her.
Suddenly ahead of her through the
woods floated the sound of singing
one of those strange , wavering pieux
cantiques peculiar to the south. She
rode on , thinking to find help and a
guide back to Ardsley ; then the music
ceased , and lights now flashed faintly
before her , but she went forward
guardedly.
"I'm much more lost than I thought
I was , for I must be away off the es
tate , " she reflected. She turned and
rode back a few rods and dismounted ,
and tied her horse to a sapling. She
was disappointed at not finding a
camp of Ardmore's wood-cutters , to
whom she would unhesitatingly have
confided herself ; but it seemed wise
now to exercise caution in drawing to
herself the attention of strangers. She
did not know that she had crossed the
state line and was in South Carolina ,
j
or that the singing she had heard
floated from the windows of Mount
Xebo church.
She became now the astonished wit
ness of a series of incidents that oc
curred so swiftly as fairly to take her
breath away. A tall , loosely. articu
lated man came from the direction of
the church and walked toward her.
She knelt at the tree and watched ,
the moonlight giving her a clear view
of a rustic somewhat past middle age ,
whose chief characteristics seemed to
be a grizzled beard and long arms
that swung oddly at his side. The
brim of his wool hat was turned up
sharply from his forehead , and she
had a glimpse of the small , keen , gray
eyes with which he swept the forest
before him. He freed a horse which
she had not before noticed , and she
expected him to mount and ride away
to join others of the congregation
whom she heard making off in a road
beyond the church. Then , with a
quickness and deftness that baffled
her eyes , two men rose beside him
just as he was about to mount ; there
was no outcry and no sound of scuf
fling , so quick was the descent and so
perfect the understanding between the
captors. In a moment the man was
gathered up , bound , and flung on
saddle. She had a better view of
now that he was hatless , though a gag
had been forced into his mouth and a
handkerchief tied over his eyes , so
that he presented a grotesque appear
ance. Jerry was so absorbed that she
forgot to be afraid ; never in her life
had she witnessed anything so amaz
ing as this ; and now , to her more
Renewed His Efforts to Free Himself.
complete bewilderment , the captors ,
after carefully inspecting their work
and finding it satisfactory , seemed to
disappear utterly from the face of the
earth.
In the woods to her left she thought
she heard a horse neigh ; then she saw
shadows moving in that direction ;
and again , from the road , she heard
the brief debate of the two men as
to the whereabouts of "Bill ; " and it
struck Jerry humorously that he
would not soon see his friends unless
they came and helped him out of his
predicament.
It may help to an understanding of
Miss Jerry Dangerfield's character if
it is recorded here that never in her
short life had she failed to respond to
the call of impulse. She was lost in
the woods , and strange men lurked
about ; a man had been attacked ,
seized , and left sitting in a state of
absurd helplessness on a horse pre
sumably his own , and there was no
guessing what dire penalty his cap
tors had in store for him.
Quiet' reigned in the neighborhood
of the church ; the lights had blinked
out ; the bang of the closing shutters
reassured Jerry , and she crept on her
knees toward the unconscious captive ,
loosed his horse's rein and led it rap
idly toward her own horse , a little
farther back In the woods. Her blind
folded prisoner , thinking his original
saptors were carrying him off , renew-
2d his efforts to free himself.
Jerry gained her own saddle in the
Least bit of a panic , and when she
bad mounted and made sure of the
leading-strap with which her prison-
3r's horse was provided , she rode on
it a rapid walk until she reached the
2learing , where the "stumps again
jrimly mccked her. She stopped to
listen , and heard through the still
night first one cry and then many
voices in various keys of alarm and
rage. Then she bent toward the pris
oner , tore the bandage from his eyes ,
and with more difficulty freed him of
the gag. He blinked and spluttered
at this unexpected deliverance , then
blinked and spluttered afresh at see
ing that his captor was a young wom
an , who was plainly not of his world.
Jerry watched him wonderingly , then
addressed him in her most agreeable
tone.
"You were caught and tied by two
men over there by a church. I saw
them , and when they went off and left
you , I came along and brought you
with me , thinking to save your life.
I want to get home as quickly as pos
sible , and though I do not know you ,
and am quite sure we never met be
fore , I hope you will kindly guide mete
to Ardsley , and thereby render me a
service I shall always deeply appre
ciate. "
Mr. Bill Appleweight , alias Poteet ,
was well hardened to the shocks of
time , but the pleasant-voiced girl ,
coolly sitting her horse , and holding
his own lank steed by a strap , was the
most amazing human being that had
yet dawned on his horizon. He was
not stupid , but Jerry's manner of
speech had baffled more sophisticated
minds than Appleweight's , and the
sweet sincerity of her tone , and her
frank countenance , hallowed as it was
by the moonlight , wrought in the out
law's mind a befuddlement not wholly
unlike that which had possessed the
wits of many young gallants south of
the Potomac who had laid siege to
Jerry Dangerfield's heart. But the
cries behind them were more pro
nounced , and Appleweight was noth
ing if not a man of action.
"Take these things off'n me , " he
commanded fiercely , "and I'll see y *
safe to Ardsley. "
"Not in the least , " replied Jerry ,
who was herself not unmindful of the
voices behind. "You will kindly tell
me the way , and I will accommodate
my pace to that of your own some
what ill-nourished beast And as
there's a mob looking for you back
there , all ready to hang you to one
of these noble forest trees , I advise
you to use more haste and less cau
tion in pointing the way. "
Appleweight lifted his head and
took his bearing. Then he nodded to
ward one of the three trails which
had so baffled Jerry when first she
broke into the clearing.
"Thet's the nighest , " said Apple-
weight , "and we'd better git"
She set the pace at a trot , and was
relieved in a few minutes to pass one
or two landmarks which she remem
bered from her flight through the
woods. As they splashed through the
3rook she had forded , she was quite
confident that the captive was play-
"ng her no trick , but that in due
course she should strike the high
road to Ardsley which she abandoned
to throw off the duke of Ballywinkle.
It was now ten o'clock , and the
moon was sinking behind the forest
trees. Jerry took advantage of an
occasional straight strip of road to go
forward at a gallop , but these
stretches did not offer frequently , and
the two riders kept pretty steadily tea
a smart trot.
As they walked their horses through
a bit of sand , the prisoner spoke ;
"Who air y'u , little gal ? "
Jerry turned in the saddle , so that
Appleweight enjoyed a full view of
her face.
"I am perfectly willing to tell you
my name , but first it would be more
courteous for you to tell me yours ,
particularly as I am delivering you
from a band of outlaws who undoubt
edly intended to do you harm. "
He laughed a curious , chuckling
laugh. He had ceased to struggle at
his bonds , but seemed resigned to his
strange fate. He had not answered
Jerry's question , and had no intention
of doing so. The sudden attack at
the church had aroused all his cun
ning. Appleweight , alias Poteet , .was
an old wolf , and knew well the ways
of the trapper ; but the bold attempt
to kidnap him was a new feature of
the game as heretofore played along
the border. He did not make it out ;
nor was he wholly satisfied with the
girl's explanation of her presence in
that out-of-the-way place.
He had several times called out di
rections as they crossed other paths
in the forest , and they now reached
the main trunk road of the estate.
The red bungalow , Jerry knew , was
not far away. Her prisoner spoke
again.

Turpentine and Forests.
You do not know the turpentine tap
pers , but if you come to Florida you
will soon find them out. It is a curi
ous business that will deliberately de
stroy all the forests of a half dozen
states for a little immediate gain ; and
still more curious is the lassitude that
allows the destruction to go on. The
French have a method of tapping trees
which gives a profitable return and
leaves the trees practically uninjured.
In this way an industry is perpetuated ,
but our American tapping is another
thing.
The trees are cut with a broad ax ,
hewing out great slices and leaving
scars from which the resin flows into
boxes at the bottom of the cut and is
scraped once a month into casks. The
cut is repeated each year , and in six
3r seven years the tree is exhausted.
89 go great forests of pine that stand
SO to 100 feet high , leaving us thou
sands of acres of standing lumber
nrhich will be cut down by portable
sawmills. The end of it all is a hag
gard waste. E. P. Powell , in Outing.

University Professor Suicides.
Lancaster County. Prof. F. J. Phil
lips , professor of forestry at the State
university , committed suicide at his
home in Lincoln by inhaling gas. Prof.
Phillips left three letters , one of
which was addressed to his wife , in
structing her how to notify the prop
er officers when the body was dis
covered. The other letters were ad
dressed to the chief of police and cor
oner. Two weeks ago Prof. Phillips
had been offered an assistant profes
sorship in the University of Michigan.
He declined this on the advice of
Chancellor Averey. In his letters Prof.
Phillips asserted that he feared that
he would soon become a chronic in
valid and would be a constant bur
den to his family. He was 30 years
of age and a graduate of the "Univer
sity of Michigan. He was secretary
of the Michigan Athletic board when
a student there. The professor was
one of the most popular instructors at
the university.
Held Without Bail.
Madison County. The preliminary
hearing of Henry Stehr , charged with
the murder of his
4-year-old stepson ,
Kurt Stehr , was held before County
Judge William Bates. He was bound
over to the district court , bail being
denied. Stehr is the stepfather of
Kurt Stehr , whose feet were so bad
ly frozen during the blizzard about
Christmas time that amputation was
necessary. Through neglect of the
child's parents medical assistance of
any kind was not had until the little
feet had practically rotted off and
when the operation was had it was
too late to save his life.
Passed Bogus Check's.
Otoe County. A man giv
ing the name of A. B. Eas-
ley came to Nebraska City and
registered at the Watson hotel and
claimed to be a live stock commission
man. He .remained about the city
several days and managed to pass
several checks and among them was
one for $20 on Landlord Theiman of
the Watson hotel and was drawn up

the ton.
Lectures on Newspaper Life.
Hamilton County. At the big ban
quet held in Aurora , seventy-five men
and women found seats. The supper
was served by the women of the
church. The principal event of the

given by the editor of the State Jour
nal. After the address there was a
running fire of questions by the
guests upon current phases of news
paper life.
Sues for Slander.

THE GREATEST WHEAT
MARKET ON THE CON
TINENT
REMARKABLE YIELDS OF WHEAT ;
OATS , BARLEY AND FLAX IN
WESTERN CANADA LAST
YEAR.
Figures recently issued show that
the wheat receipts at Winnipeg last
year were 88,269,330 bushels , as com
pared with the Minneapolis receipts
of 81,111,410 bushels , this placing Win
nipeg at the head of the wheat re
ceiving markets of the continent. Fol
lowing up this Information it is found
that the yields throughout the prov
inces of Manitoba , Saskatchewan and
Alberta , as given the writer byagents
of the Canadian Government sta
tioned in different parts of the States ,
have been splendid. A few of the
instance's are given :
Near Redvers , Sask. , Jens Hortness
threshed about 50 acres of wheat , av
eraging 29 bushels to the acre. Near
Elphmstone , Sask. , many of the crops
of oats would run to nearly 100 bush
els to the acre. A Mr. Muir had about
200 acres of this grain and he esti
mates the yield at about 60 bushels
per acre. Wheat went 35 bushels to
the acre on the farm of Mr. A. Loucks ,
near Wymyard , Sask. , in the fall of
1910. K. Erickson had 27 and P.
Solvason 17. In the Dempster ( Man. )
district last year , wheat went from
25 to 30 bushels per acre. Fifteen
acres on the Mackenzie & Mann farm
today went forty-three bushels to the
acre. In the Wainwright and Battle-
river districts yields of wheat aver
aged for tye district 26 bushels to the
acre. M. B. Ness , of the Tofield , Al
berta , district , got 98 bushels and
28 Ibs. of oats to the acre , while near
Montrose , over 94 bushels of oats to
the acre was threshed by J. Leonle ,
notwithstanding the dry weather of
June. Further reports from the Ed
monton district give Frank McLay of
the Horse Falls 100 bushels of oats
to the acre. They weighed 45 Ibs. to
the bushel. A 22-acre field of spring
wheat on Johnson Bros. ' farm near
Agricola yielded 40 % bushels to the
acre. Manitoba's record crop for 1910
was grown on McMillan Bros. ' farm
near Westbourne , who have a total
crop of 70,000 bushels , netting ? 40,000
off 2,200 acres. G. W. Buchanan of
Pincher Creek , Alberta , had 25 %
bushels of No. 1 spring wheat to the
acre. Mr. A. Hatton of Macleod dis
trict had wheat which averaged 21
bushels to the acre. B. F. Holden ,
near Indian Head , Sask. , threshed 950
bushels of wheat from 20 acres.
On the Experimental Farm at In
dian Head , wheat has gone below 40
bushels , while several , such as the
Marquis and the Preston , have gone
as high as 54 bushels to the acre. At
Elstow , Sask. , the quantity of wheat
to the acre ran , on the average , from
26 right up to 40 bushels per acre ,
while oats in some cases yielded a
return of 70 to 80 bushels per acre ,
with flax giving 13 to 14 bushels per
acre.

His Head Was Hard.
It-is a common belief that the n
gro's head is hard , capable of with
standing almost any blow.
The following story told by a promi
nent young dentist of Danville , 111. ,
would seem to indicate something of
the kind anyhow. Two negro men
were employed on tearing down a
three-story brick building. One ne
gro was on top of the building taking
off the bricks and sliding them down
a narrow wooden chute to the ground ,
some thirty feet below , where th
other was picking them up and piling
them.
When this latter negro was stoop
ing over to pick up a brick the former
accidentally let one fall , striking him
directly on the head.
Instead of its killing him , he merely
looked up , without rising , and said.
What you doin ! thar , nigger , you
make me bite my tongue. " The Cir
cle. ,
Probably Got Off. * <
*
Apropos of certain unfounded
charges of drunkenness among th
naval cadets at Annapolis , Admiral
Dewey , at a dinner In Washington *
told a story about a young sailor.
"The sailor , after a long voyage , * *
he said , "went ashore in the tropics ,
and , It being a hot day , he drank , IB
certain tropical bars , too much beer.
"As the sailor lurched under his
heavy load along a palm-bordered ave
nue , his captain hailed him Indig
nantly.
" "Look here , ' the captain said , 'sup
pose you were my commander , and
you met me In such a condition *
you're in now , what would you do t
me ? '
" "Why , sir , ' said the sailor , 1 would
n't condescend to take no notice of
you at all , sir. ' "
