We won't touch him: but we must see him AM

The boy made no reply, but looked earnestly
at Dove, who was drawing the shoe from biz
right foot.

IN wiring every toe on your foot as I'v'
wrung your nose, unless you TELL replied Dove
and he quietly applied the instrument of tor
ture.
Hand me some water, Moss said the boy
Moss complied with his request. The lad dranl
it, and said: Go on now, Dove. It can't b,
worse than the other.'
But he was mistaken. At the third or fourth
turn of the stick the agony seemed insupporta
bic, the perspiration gushed from every pore il
his skin, and the large tears rolled slowly dow
his cheeks.
Speak, Frank said Mess. But the boy spoke
not.
Dove, who seemed to take pleasure in the
torture he was inHicting, kept turning and turn
ing, all the while keeping his eye fixed upon hi
victim
Did your uncle know of the money! asked
Shattlin.
There was no reply.
Did he kill the Squirel' asked Moss.
Still there was no reply.
Loose the string, Dove said Moss.
Dove removed the blood-stained cord, the do
ing of which was evidently painful, for the Lad
shrieked fearfully.
No more nonsense, Frank said Moss
What's the use of hurting yourself in this way
If your uncle can clear himself, he shall come
to no harm. But we must see him. Where i:

The kindness with which Moss spoke seemed
to move the lad more than the tOrtures that he
had suffered. He sobbed loudly for moment
and then said:
Moss, cannot tell you. My uncle has raised
me from childhood
Again Dove approached with the instruments
Of torture.
STOP said Moss, who seemed to be struck BY
some sudden thought, stop. If you won't touch
the boy till come back, I'll soon find out Ned
Days hiding place.
Having obtained from the men promise that
nothing further should be done to the lad until
his return, he rushed fom the hut, and springing
on his horse, rode furiously to Daly's cabin.
'Abelr shouted he, AbelI'
Thus called, the negro boy raised himself
from the chimney corner, shook the ashes from
him, and poked his black face cautiously through
the door.
'Ah, dat you, Massa Moss7 What the deb
bill you hab do with Massa F-ankl'
'Come here,' said Moss; and, as the negro
slowly approached him, he continued, holding
up hickory stick, Do you see this7 Are you

negro with grin.
'Were you awake when your Massa DAILY
came home last nightl'-
'Ees, Massa Moss, was.'

Selling the boy by the arms, he jerked hin
up, placed him before him, and rode back TO th,
hut.
You may loose Frank said he, as he enter
ed the cabin, for DAILY is hiding at FaIloola.'
If had my way, I'd wiring every toe on hi,
feet said Dove, as he roughly unbound the boy
Give us your hand, Frank, said Moss, point
edly. I'd rather shake it than the hand of an,
man in the room. Had your uncle been as true
to US as you cave been to him, there would have
been no need Of all this
