CHAPTER TX.
TIE RUMOR.

at does seem strange to me that I
can't come 70 this town and get away
before dark" said Mr.. Miles. ON that
same Saturday afternoon of the events
recorded in our last chapter. Mr..
Miles, like most farmers, wondered
why it was that he could not 60 to the
village and return Immediately with
out consuming the entire day. His
shopping on this day had not been
very extensive. but he met SO many
neighbOrs and friends with whom the
opportunities to gossip and exchange
ideas on farming. were SO tempting that
he could not resist them.
The sun was almost down and his
wagon stood in front of Dave Blacks
store. The clerk was carrying out
sundry bundles and packages. sack
of flour, bucket, cans, etc. and putting
them in the farmers wagon. lis that
all, Nick?" asked the farmer of tho
large nosed. thin-looking clerk.
at is" answered the solemn Nick.
"Are you going now, Miles?" asked
Dave Black, coming to the door of the
store.
Eyes, it is time, for I will be in the
night getting home now," was the an
Swcr.
"The roads are good if the night is
dark" said Dave. coming out on the
porch, ''but Miles, l want to speak to
you before you 60"
what is it?" asked the farmer, who
had already climbed to the wagon seat.
'.Be in a hurry, for have been hero
too long already"
81 don't want to stop You for
nothing, Miles, said the merchant.
IF its business that will pay, can
afford to stop all night" returned the
farmer, with a shrewd smile.
This will pay" said Black, looking
serious.
"Well, what is it then?"
"You have a hired hand, have you
not?''
"Yes, a young fellow"
"What kind of a chap do you sup
pose he is?''
Every good, or will BE- soon," was
the reply. He is unused to farm
work-in fact don't know much about
it. But as soon as he learns. he will
make a first-class farmer. He is sharp,
too. and knows all about calculatin'
interest and all kinds of business.
Il am very much afraid you are de-
ceived in your man.
Deceived. how?"
THAT he is not what he seems"
'.But he is
"How long has he been at your
house?'
''Some four or five weeks"
where did he come from?"
The farmer paused and looked at the
ground. He remembered the unsatis-
factory explanation Walter gave of his
former business and location. After .
few moments lost in meditation. he
said: HE comes from somewhere
about Queenstown and he was clerk
in q dry-goods store"
81 warn you now, farmer Miles, be-
ware of that young fellow. Do not
trust him. He is an escaped bank rob
Der. He robbed Joe Brewster's store
in Queenstown, and that stranger here
is q detective ON his track."
