Mr. Stockton touched him on the shoul : 4er with - a folded paer. "Come, come, tny man. he's here, and I want to him. Don't 11 to us, man. This may be a hanf Ing matter for you. 8m here!" He slapped open a warrant " "One - Bartholomew Marry' do you undertsandT Tou're under arrest". ."' The fellow's terror was pitiful to sea. His pale face turned a chalky white, and he gased at us with stricken eyes. "My Ood! I'm a ruined man! Gentlemen, don't be hard on me. I didn't mean "That'll do. Merry. Where's Lawrence Arnold ?" "This way, sir this way. He's hurt bad, gentlemen. I swear 1 didn't have anything to do With last night's work. I wasn't tn the thing at all. Squire. His leg's smashed, but It ain't fatal, I'm sure. He crept In the back way just before sun-up. I couldn't stop him I swear I couldn't X told him he'd ruin me. Here in this room, gentlemen. . I didn't want to have anything to' do with It." The man was Quite beside himself. We entered au obscure kennel under' the very eaves 'of the house. Lawrence Ar nold glared at us from a pile of pillows. The lawyer began without preliminaries. -xou-ro caught, Arnold. The game s up." The other pressed his lips together as If defying u to do our worst " Then the hopelcsifr.ui's of his situation broke his dogged temper. . I know it" he responded sullenly. "The game up as far as I'm concerned, may be." "As far as any of you' are concerned, snapped Mr. Stockton. "John Dayton is eod." "Dayton dead?" 'Yea suicide.' "Suicide!" I said o. He left note to prove it Tou haven't" been fortunate enough to to commit suicide quite. What! The pitcher that. went too often to the well! Arnold, your gang is broken to pieces Including yourself." ' "Curse It!" said the other. "My leg's in splinters. That's your doing. Morvan. My God! did you use a cannon?" 'Serves you right," said the lawyer. "Serves you right! But Mr. Morvan and 1 are wUling to give you one more chance. You must fly the state tonight tonight you understand T" Wbe.tl" He started up eagerly, hat fell back with a groan.' "You're only baiting me I can't travel with this leg." 'Yea, you can. What's more, you must. You can go by post, once your leg's prop erly set. Bat Merry goes with you. Yes, you will Merry, or you go to gaol. You must both bo In Gloucester before day light tomorrow, and across the river Into Pennsylvania before sunrise If not you won't get off under a life sentence." "Don't I know it! 1'U go," said Arnold with savage resignation. "But what's to become of Falrvlew, and Kitty T" "Falrvlew's been yours only In name for two years past. I know that as well as you do very likely, better very likely, better. Mr. Henry Morvan will hold all tho mortgages in a day or two. Wo in tend to foreclose, sir, instanter that's the very word,, Instanter." "I don't know what's to become of poor tittle Kitty. She won't hove a cent tn the world I'm an outlaw." -"Your alstex is now Mrs. Bram Morvan. I said. "Falrvlew will be assigned to ber and her husband." Arnold stared from me to the lawyer. "I must be getting feverish," he muttered. "What did you say? Kitty "Miss Arnold was married to Bram sev eral days since. "What!" He almost .leaped from the bed. "Damn bis traitor's soul! He's mar ried harr , . . "Yes," said Mr. Stockton, "and Mr. Mor van means to give him charge of Falrvlew In trust of course." Arnold was stunnned. "The only man who gets anything out of all this Is Bram," he said bitterly. "Why, Morvan, don't you know he plotted to oust you yes, and meant to tar and feather you, too?" The lawyer answered for me. "So ho did so he did; but he had a change of heart In time. Henry, It was the same night he beat Buck a loo John Dayton and Arnold and their men. Bram knew what was on the tapis, of course. I think old Mary Pedersen's diabolical scheme about Miss Ferrlss had very nearly brought him to his senses, and then the Buckaloo affair was the final touch. Bram realised that he wasn't designed for a villain. I've no doubt he wrestled with Ills better self all night, tor he woke me up In the Washing ton room before dawn that morning, and told me all bo knew. But he was really only a tool a tool of yours, Arnold and you war a tool of John Dayton's perhaps. What!" The wounded man only groaned. "Bram hadn't played a very honorable part," continued Mr Stockton. "You're right, Mr. Arnold, not a very honorable part and I was afraid he wouldn't be true with me. 8o, although he stayed a spy In the enemy's camp, I didn't trust him far. I thought that what he told me might only be meant to lead us deeper Into the tolls. That's the reason I didn't mention his con fidences to you, Henry, and that's why I had Hubbard place him under arrest to see If there was anything further to be learned. But there wasn't there wasn't." "Damn him!" repeated Arnold with fer vor. "I believe he's In a fair way toward dam. nation, sir. But his own conscience he'd grown very fond of Miss Katharine, Mr. Arnold his conscience and your sister saved him on the brink of his own destruc Uon." Mr. Btockton waved his finger at the in jured man. "So you're an exile from to morrow, Arnold and you, too, Merry. My 1 bailiff will scour the state for you In the morning and the writ will run Indefin itely, I promise you that. sir. If either of you ever returns to the Jerseys, you're lost mind! I advise you to drive to Glou cester, and cross the river there or better yet, get a sloop In the marshes, and sail right across the bay to Delaware." "I've got a light rig. Squire." said Merry servilely. "Yes, and I know where I can get a boat, too. That'd be easier on his. leg. We'll be clear by morning all right." "Goodby, Mr. Arnold," I said. "I wish you no 111 luck." "I've had enough already," groaned the other. "Good God, Morvan! a roundshot couldn't have smashed me worse than your bullet's done." 'I've some matters to see to, Arnold," said Mr. Stockton, "then I'll come back and set your leg do It myself. It won't do to trust any regular practitioner for your own sake, you understand he might talk. I learned to be a bit of a surgeon In the navy I'll wager I'll make a neat job of your broken bones. What! Afterward, you'll have all day to arrange your busi ness affairs you and Merry." Outside the tavern, Mr. Stockton heaved a sigh of satisfaction. "A' clean sweep, Henry clean sweep." "How about Mary Pedersen?" I asked. "I'd forgotten her. I'll send Hubbard down with a posse this afternoon. I fancy the bird has flown, though. Well, I'll get Flthlan to lend me a hand with Arnold's leg. Ha and I set Dick's arm only last year the rascal wouldn't let anyone else touch him. You'd better get back to Mor van you'll be needing sleep. I'll come up as soon as I can. I dare say I'll do well with that kneecap as any sawbones hereabouts." Baker and Bus met m In the hall of the manorhouse. ' "Has Miss Ferrloa . been told. Sue? about ber father?" "Yes, Squire," aald the girl. "Miss Ar nold" Bhe stopped in embarrassment ment lay at hand a way whereby I could return her property without letting hr become aware that she had ever been robbed of It. That way was' marriage! . I felt the blood run hot in my veins at the thought Yes, that was the way If she could but be persuaded. The way of a dastard of a double-dyed villain the way of a very fiend! The morning sunlight flooded the room, but J caught myself muttering, as If to a familiar in the dark: "I love her! I love herl" CHAPTER XXIV. "I mean Mrs. Morvan Mr. Bram's wife she's with her now." . "Is MUss Morvan much overcome?" "Well, sir, she didn't take it so hard not as hard as some folks might. I kind a guees she thought he might kill himself sometime he's been right queer a long time, they say." "Give Miss Ferris my love when you get a chance. Sue." "Yes, sir, I will. Squire, she' was sayln' a while ago she hoped you wouldn't think too hard of her." I repeated the words to myself as I sought my room. Think hardly of her? God save the mark! what would she think of me when she should know what a living lie my life was? When? What It she should never know! The Idea warmed it self In my brain. All that day since the moment when I had seen John Dayton dead In his ruined farmhouse I had been nerving mysolf to tell Ferrlss the truth to reveal to her my hideous deception. I had deceived a whole county. I had furnished the opportunity for the law. In the person of Hubbard, to settle Its claim against John Dayton and John Dayton was her father! I had kept Ferrlss too long from her rightful heritage. But the play was played out. The comedy had be come a tragedy I would end It before It destroyed ber as well as myself, although for my own destruction I had coma to care little. I say. until I had returned to the man orhouse until I had stood outside the door of her chamber and thrilled at the thought of her presence so near me I had thought only of confessing the truth, let my fate bo what It might But now a new thought overwhelmed me. Why not keep my secret? Surely could continue to be Henry Morvan without In curring the least suspicion, I had over come all difficulties already the future could not fall to be plain sailing. Would It not be fairer to her to let matters take their course? A way of atone- Sarrender. The next day I sprang from my bed more lightly than I bad done since my first day at Morvan. By 11 o'clock the preceding morning, an intelligent coroner's Jury with Hubbard's help had brought In a verdict of suicide in the case of John Dayton, Gentleman. In the afternoon the funeral had taken place It had seemed best to Mr. Stockton and me that there should be no delay. Ferrlss had attended, leaning, heavily veiled, on my arm, as we buried her father In the Morvan lot at the old cemetery. Baker and Sue, Bram and his wife. Mr. Stockton and his clerk, and half a dozen ot our friends had been the only others present at the graveside. Ferrlss had borne It all brnvely. Only when Dr. Garrett read the solemn words: "Earth to earth, aiht.s to ashes, dust to dust," had she lost her self-control for a little. On the way back to Morvan, although we drove together in the family coach, I, had not ventured to disturb her. Best let heal ing Time do Its work. How much Ferrlss guessed of 'her father's action I did not know. Perhaps she had begun to see a little of the truth, the day we had drunk tea at Pole Tavern when she bade me leave her that she might think. At all events, John Dayton was not a father she could mourn long. That same afternoon Hubbard, with Buckaloo and four or five others, had raided Lost Hollow. Where the cabin had stood, they found only a pile of still burn ing embers. Mary Pedersen's body perhaps lay beneath the glowing ruins: but no one troubled to drag them apart to make sure the fire was even more satisfactory than a coroner's jury. . Some time after nightfall It had been rumored in the village that Lawrence Ar nold and Bat Merry had been seen driving westward - In great haste. Mr. William Hancock had hurried with the report to the supreme court bailiff, and had sug gested pursuing the fugitives. The bailiff had instantly announced bis Intention of doing so-the first thing in the morning. All these things came to my mind with a rush I bounded from my bed. My ring was answered by Bam. "How's Miss Ferrlss this morning. Sam?" "Ah dunno, sah she's gone." "Gone!" I shouted. "Ah mean she's lef the housej sah," replied the boy hurriedly, "Her and Jerry went off a rldin", somers." "If you give me another shock like that. I'll have you hanged at the yard arm." I assured him. "Where's she gone?" "Ah caln't tell yo', Mastah Henry. Bet- tey, she got her some breakfua' early. She took Jerry and ride off. Dad bllm that Jerry! He nevah tole me nothln. I'll lam him, when I git him, suatal" "Which way did they go?" "Ah tried to watch 'em from the front po'ch I knew you'd want to know 'bout her. But they juest nachully melted in the woods. . Miss Baker, she tole mo to tell you she heard her say somelbln' 'bout goln' for a good long ride." - I flnlbhtd my dressing In short order. As for breakfast whether or not I ate any that morning I do not know to this day. Certainly I did not taste tt. On my best horse I swept down the slope, rounded the foot of the lake, and plunged Ihto the woods at the point where Sam had seen Ferrlss and Jerry disappear. Once in tho forest, I pulled my roan to a walk, and began to put into play some of the woodcraft I had learned along the Mis souri. 1 lonfced for Link for a week I had almost forgotten the faithful fellow's exis tence. His powers as a tracker would have been worth his weight In gold to me at that moment. If Ferrlss bad really only gone for a good ride, she could find It In the ( five-mile stretch between Morvan and the bay. If sjie had left the manorhouse so early for some subtle purpose, a turn to the left, after entering the woods, would place half of Wast Jersey before ber.
