SYNOPSIS.
Thomas Ardmore and Henry Maine
Griswold stumble upon intrigue when the
governors of North and South Carolina
are. reported to have quarreled. Both
states are in a turmoil over one Apple-
weight , an outlaw with political influence.
Griswoid allies himself with Barbara Os-
borne , daughter of the , governor of South
Carolina , while Ardmore espouses the
cause of Jerry Dangerfleld , daughter of
the governor of North Carolina. These
two ladies are trying to fill the shoes of
their fathers , while the latter are miss
ing. Unaware of each other's position ,
both Griswold and Ardmore set out to
make the other prosecute. Ardmore or
ganizes a big hunt. Griswold's men cap
ture Appleweight. Jerry Dangerfield dis
covers the captive and leads him to Ards-
ley , her own prisoner. Griswold and Bar
bara explore the scene of the disappear
ance and meet Ardmore and Jerry. Gris
weld refuses to recognize his friend.
Jerry reveals the presence of Appleweight
at Ardsley.
CHAPTER XV. Continued.
"There's a line of the South Carolina
lina militia crawling through the
woods toward Raccoon creek. They
insist that it's a practice skirmish and
that they've come over here because
the landscape is naturally adapted to
their purposes. "
"It's awfully nice of them to like
my scenery. You'd better send your
best man out to meet Col. Gillingwa-
ter of the North Carolina militia , and
tell him to march all his troops into
the estate by the north gates , and to
be in a hurry. Tell him tell him
Gov. Dangerfield is anxious to have
the staff present in full uniform at a
grand ball at Ardsley to-night. "
Ardmore rode off alone toward Rac
coon creek to catch a view of the
enemy. How far would Griswold go ?
Ardmore could go as far as Gris
weld ; yet he was puzzled to know
why Griswold was in the field at all.
These reflections carried him far to
ward Raccoon creek , and when he had
reached that tortuous stream he dis
mounted and tied his horse , the more
freely to examine the frontier. By
jumping from boulder to boulder he
crossed the turbulent tide and gained
the other side with a sense of enter
ing the enemy's country.
"Now , " he muttered , "I am in South
Carolina. "
He drew out his map and held it
against a tree the better to study it ,
reassuring1 himself that his own prop
erty line embraced several sections of
the forest on the south side of the
state boundary.
"If Grissy shoots me , it will be on
my own land , " he said aloud.
He cautiously followed the stream
until , several hundred yards farther
on , and overhanging the creek , he
came upon the log cabin in which Big
Paul had reported the presence of a
ghost. Paul's story had not inter
ested him particularly , but now that
he wa in the neighborhood he re
solved to visit the cabin and learn if
possible how ghosts amuse themselves
by day. He had thrust a revolver into
his pocket before leaving the house
and while he had no idea that ghosts
may be shot , he now made sure that
the weapon was in good order. As he
sat oa a log slipping the cylinder
through his fingers he heard whis
tling farther along the creek , followed
quickly by the snapping of twigs un
der a heavy tread , and a moment later
a tall , slender man broke into view.
The stranger was dressed like a
countryman , but he was unmistakably
not of the Ardsley force of 'workmen ,
for these wore a rough sort of uni
form. His hands were thrust careless
ly into the side pockets of a gray
jeans coat. They were thrust in deep ,
so that the coat sagged at the pockets.
His trousers were turned up from a
pair of rough shoes and he wore a
gray flannel shirt , the collar of which
was guiltless of a tie. He was smooth
shaven , and carried in his mouth a
short pipe , which he paused to relight
when about a dozen yards from Ard
more. Then , as he held the lighted
match above the pipe bowl for an in
stant to make sure his tobacco was
burning , Ardmore jumped up and cov ;
ered him with the pistoL
"I beg your pardon , " said the maser -
, er of Ardsley , "but you're my pris
oner ! "
The stranger shook the flame out
of the match-stick carefully and threw
it away before turning toward his
raptor.
"Young man , " he said with perfect
self-possession , "don't fool with that
? un , it might go off. "
His drawl was characteristic of the
region ; his tone was one of amused
tolerance. Ardmore was short of
stature , and his knickerbockers ,
leggings and Norfolk jacket were
lot wholly consonant with the re
volver , which , however , he leveled
rery steadily at the stranger's head.
"You are an intruder on my proper
ty , " said the master of Ardsley , "and
unlesa I'm much mistaken you have
been playing ghost in that cabin. ? 've
heard about you. Your gang has been
cutting off my timber about long
'
enough , and this game pf playing
ghost to scare my men won't do. "
"Stealing your timber ? " And the
stranger was clearly surprised. He
held his pipe in his hand with his
thumb over the bowl and seemed to
take a more serious interest in his
captor.
"And now , " continued Ardmore ,
"I'm tired of having this end of the
country run by the Appleweights , and
their disreputable gang , so I'm going
to lock you up : "
The stranger turned toward the
cabin , one corner of which was plain
ly visible , and. shrugged his shoulders.
"I have nothing to do with the Ap
pleweights , and I assure you I am not
a timber thief. "
"Then you must be the one who has
lifted a few steers out-of my herd. It
makes no difference just what branch
of the business you are engaged in ,
for we're picking up all the gang and
you've got to come along with me. "
The captive showed signs of anger
for the first time. His face flushed ,
and he took a step toward Ardmore ,
who immediately threw up the revolver
ver so that it pointed at the man's
head.
"Stop right there ! We've got old
man Appleweight , so you've lost your
leader , and I tell you the jig's up.
We'll have you all in jail before an
other 24 hours has passed. "
"I 'judge from the tone of your re
marks triat you are Ardmore , the own
er of Ardsley. Am I right ? "
"You are quite right. And you area -
a member of a disreputable gang of
outlaws that has been bringing shame
upon the state of North Carolina. Now ,
I want you to march straight ahead
of me. Step lively now ! " And Ard
more flourished the pistol menacingly.
March ! "
The man hesitated , flung up his
head defiantly , then moved slowly for
ward.
"We will cross the creek right
here , " he ordered ; "it's a pretty jump
there from that boulder there , that
was bully I Now right along there
over the log see the trail ! Good ! "
It was warm and the captive was
perspiring freely. He moved along
docilely , and finding that he mani
fested no indlina.tion to bolt , Ardmore
dropped the revolver fo his side , but
with his finger on the trigger.
They soon reached a field where
some laborers were at work , and Ard
more called them to him for instruc
tions.
"Boys , this is one of the timber
thieves ; put him in tbat corn-crib un-
> : * % : f
"You're My Prisoner ! "
til I come back for him. The nights
are warm ; the sky is perfectly clear ;
and you will kindly see that he does
not lack for food. "
Two of the men jumped forward and
seized Ardmore's prisoner , who now
broke forth in a torrent of wrath ,
struggled vigorously.
"That's right , boys ; that's right ;
easy there ! Now in he goes. "
A series of corn-cribs fringed the
field , and into one of these , from
which half the corn had been removed ,
the prisoner was thrust sprawling
upon the yellow ears , and when he
rose and flung himself round , the
door of the corn-crib slammed in his
face. He bellowed , with rage now , see
ing that his imprisonment was a seri
ous matter , and that it seemed likely
to be prolonged indefinitely.
"They always told me you were a
fool , " he howled , "but I didn't know
that anything as crazy as you are was
loose in the world. "
"Thank you. The head of your gang
is much more polite. He's sitting on
his case of Chateau Bizet in my wine
cellar , playing solitaire. "
"Appleweight in your wine cellar ! "
bawled the captive in astonishment.
"Certainly. I was afraid to lock
him in a room with bath for fear it
might give him hydrophobia ; but he's
perfectly content in the wine cellar. "
"What are you going to do with
him ? "
"I haven't decided yet just what to
do with him , but the scoundrel un
doubtedly belongs in South Carolina ,
and I have every intention pf making
his own state punish him. "
The prisoner leaned heavily against
his prison door and glared out upon
his jailer with a new , fierce interest.
"I tell you I've nothing to do with
the Appleweights ! I don't want to re
veal my identity to you , you young
beggar ; but I demand my legal
rights. "
"My dear sir , " retorted Ardmore ,
"you have no Jegal rights , for the writ
of habeas corpus doesn't go here.
You seem rather intelligent for a barn
burner and timber thief. Come now ,
what is your name ? "
The prisoner gazed down upon the
imperturbable figure of his captor
through the slats of the corn-crib. Ard :
more returned his gaze with his most
bland and child-like air. Many people
had been driven to the point of mad
ness by Ardmore's apparent dullness
The prisoner realized that he musl
launch a thunderbolt if he would dia
turb a self-possession so complete a
tranquillity as sweet as thft fading
afternoon.
"Mr. Ardmore , I dislike to do it , but
your amazing conduct makes It nec
essary for me to disclose my identity , "
and the man's manner showed real
embarrassment.
"I knew it ; I knew it ; " nodded Ard
more , folding his arms across his
chest. "You're either the king of Siam
or the prince of Petosky. As either , I
salute you ! "
"No ! " roared the captive , beating
impotently against the door of the
cage with his hands. "No ! I'm the
governor of South Carolina ! "
This statement failed , however , to
produce the slightest effect on Mr.
Ardmore , who only smiled slightly , a
smile less incredulous than disdainful.
"Oh , pshaw ; that's nothing , " he re
plied "I'm the governor of North Carolina
lina ! " and mounting his horse he
gravely lifted his hat to the prisoner
and galloped away.
, *
While Mr. Ardmore was securing
his prisoner in the corn-crib it may be
Interesting to return for a moment to
the haunted log cabin on Raccoon
creek , the interior of which was
roughly but comfortably furnished.
Above were two small sleeping-rooms ,
and beside the bed in each stood a
suit-case and a hand-satchel. In each
room hung , on convenient hooks , a
long , black frock-coat , a pair of trou
sers of light cloth , and a broad-brim
black felt hat. Coat , trousers and hat
were exactly alike.
In the room below sat a man in his
shirt-sleeves , his feet on a cheap deal
table , blowing rings from a cigar. He
presented a picture of the greatest
ease and contentment , as he occasion
ally stroked his short brown beard ,
or threw up his arms and clasped his
hands about his head or caught lazily
at the smoke rings. On the table lay
an array of playing cards and poker
chips.
"It's too good to last forever , " the
lone occupant reflected aloud , stifling
a yawn , and he reached out , with
careless indifference , toward a bun
dle of newspapers tied together with
a piece of twine and drew one out
and spread it across his knees. He
yawned again as though the thought
of a world whose affairs were
stamped in printer's ink bored him im
mensely ; and then the bold head-lines
that shouted at him across half
quarter of the sheet caused him to
gasp , and his feet struck the bare
floorof the cabin resoundingly. He
now bent over the paper with the
greatest eagerness , muttering as he
read , and some of his mutterings
were , it must be confessed , not with
out profane embellishment.
TWO COWARDLY GOVERNORS
MISSING.
Scandal Affecting Two State Execu
tives Is the Appleweight Case Re
sponsible ? Rumors of Fatal Duel
on State Line.
He read breathlessly the startling
story that followed the head-lines ,
then rose and glanced anxiously at his
watch.
"Am I drunk or mad ? I must , find
Osborne and get out of this. "
He leaped to the open door , and
gazed into the forest from a little
platform that commanded all sides of
the cabin. And there , to his utter
amazement , he .saw men in khaki
emerging cautiously from the woods.
They were unmistakably soldiers of
some sort , for an officer was giving
sharp commands , and the line opened
out like a fan along the creek. The
observer of this maneuver mopped his
head with his handkerchief as he
watched the alert movements of the
Bgures in khaki.
He was so absorbed that he failed
to hear stealthy steps at the rear of
the platform , but he was now rudely
iroused by two uniformed youngsters
with S. C. N. G. on their caps , who
sprang upon him and bore him with
i crash to the puncheon floor.
"You're our prisoner ! " shouted one
3f them , risipg when he found that
tht prisoner yielded without resist-
ince.
"What for ? " blurted the captive ,
sitting up and rubbing his elbow.
"For being Bill Appleweight , alias
Poteet. Get up , now , and come with
as to headquarters , or my instructions
ire to break your head. "
"Who in the devil are you ? " panted
; he prisoner.
"Well , if it's anything to you , we're
; he South Carolina militia , so you'c
letter get up and climb. "

Georgia Constable's Dilemma.
Cap. Carroll , one of the town con-
tables , by direction levied on a negro
iroman's aged horse and buggy which
iad been driven into town. The horse
yas blind and so old that it could
carcely walk. But to cap it all an-
ither negro woman claimed two of
he wheels of the buggy and a negro
nan the others. So you can imagine
he officer's feeling standing there In
he street wondering how to get the
ehicle with only one wheel that could
ie touched by even the strong arm of
he law , away , as the woman was re-
urning home afoot. But as luck
rould have it , Bill Anderson came
long and proposed to sign an ap-
iearance bond for the property. The
iroman was called back , the papers
rere signed and Cap. Carroll was the
lappiest man in town , for he had
.ever driven a blind horse hitched to
buggy with but one wheel. Dahlone-

CURE THAT SORE THROAT
Sore throat is inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat , and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because It possesses extraor
dinary cleansing , healing and germicidal -
cidal qualities. Just a little in a glass
of water , used as a gargle , will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat ,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store , 25 and 60c a box , or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
Paxton Toilet Co. , Boston , Mass.
