Galloplng down q billy road they turned
into q long lane On cvory side could be
heard the merry whistle Of tho piow-boy,
mingled with the song Of the lark. They
crossed considerable strip of prairie. and
were refreshed by the gentle breeze sweep
ing over it.
"Poor little fellow,'' said Allen, when he
discovered how haggard the child was be-
coming. "Oh, how wish you were at tho
end of your joumey.''
The prairie was about four miles wide
They had crossed it and were entering a
grove OF trees when, CHANGING to look back,
he saw two hOrsemen about three miles in
his rear coming at full speed.
Pursued" cried Allen. The child dis
covering the horsemen, a look of terror
spread over his infantile face, and, tutoring
strange cries, he began kicking the sides of
the horse.
Allen increased the speed at which they.
were going, as much as he dared, knowing
that a fivc-mile Journey was before them.
They passed q teamster, who turned his
eyes fnquiringly upon the fugjtives, but
asked no questions, and Allen kept steadily
on, soon losing the wagner to view by
bend in the road.
About a mile further on they overlook d
boy, OF whom Alien inquired the distance
to Frenchtown.
Bout three miles this way; faint
more'n half as fur, though, eff We take the
nigh way ahead here"
g How far are we from the nigh wayg'"
Allen asked.
"'Bout quarter
g Take me to it, and put me on the right
road, and 1 will give you dollar for your
troublcn
The boy, highly pleased to earn dollar so
easily, whipped his thin sorrel to gallop,
and soon brought tho fugitives to the nearer
route, where he received his promised re-
ward.

Roadway he was soon almost ready to give
it up.
"Hed purity hard ride9r said the farm
en- atH
"Very," the traveller answered.
Ozark, too, warn't it?'
"Rather We had moon late in the
night, though it was very feeble moon and
soon followed by the sun"
"Sartinly. Didn't travel much afore the
moon riz?"
ooh no." was the evasive answer.

"IIe is not mine. He was loaned me to
make this journey"
"Must rid him purity hard?'-
81 had to ride hard. We will barely get
there in time now"
A door from the kitchen opened at this
moment, and the tangled head of the woman
was thrustinto the apartment to announce
that breakfast was ready.
'Walk in, stranger; I reclzin yer leetle
boy is kinder hungry"
He must besvery hungry, for feel faint
and weak myself"
Allen touched the shoulder of the dumb
boy, who was sitting as motionless as if he
had been carved from stone, and the little
fellow turned his. Wearled eyes upon him.
He motioned to the child to come. and he
rose and followed himsto the dining. room,
where they ate their breakfast.
Never did a man feel loss like riding
across the country, but delays were dan
gerous, and if parties were in pursuit they
might overtake him before they reached
their destination.
Settling his bill he ordered his horse, and
mounting with the little boy before him,
they continued their Journey. The child
gave evidences of soreness from continued
travel, but Allen made him to understand
that their journey would soon terminate,
and the little fellow become quiet.

CHAPTER XIV.
ode, YOU DOGw

Allen was informed by signs that he was
to remain at Mile. Camiles house for few
hours, he supposed until he and his horse
had had time to rest. A negro boy took
the horse round the house to the stable, and
the hostess, in polite French, which was
Greek to him, invited the tired traveller into
the house The good lady, evidently some
maiden relative of the little dumb boy, was
in ecStacieS at the arrival of the child, but
not more delighted than the little fellow
himself. His laughter, clapping his hands
and dumb show indicated excessive pleas
ure.
Aliens arrival seemed to have been ex-
pected by Mile. Camille and her servants.
1t seemed to HIM that she was standing in
the door waiting for them. The mademoi-
selle was pleasant-looking old lady, with
large dark eyes and soft, iron gray hair.
She did not possess single feature that in
Dictated distinct family resemblance to
either Bertha or the child. Yet those tears
and those emotions of joy at sight of the
little dumb boy was proof positive that he
was very dear to her.
"He is in good hands and will be well
cared for" thought the editor, his heart re-
ieved by an approving conscience.
He was ushered into the house by mu-
latto boy, and conducted to the end of along
corridor, where the negro pointed to a room
indicating that he was to occupy it,
"Can you speak English?" the tired
traveller asked.
The mulatto shook ibis head, and then,
showing Allen bath, made him understand
by signs that dinner would be ready for
him as soon as he was ready for it. The
tired editor found good bath quite re-
freshing, and when he had dressed, dom
ming the wrapper and slippers which were
brought him, he felt almost himself again.
The mulatto then conducted him to the din
ing-room in the basement at the rear of the
house. Two colored walters, who spoke
nothing but French, brought him an ex-
cellent repast to which he did ample justice
When he had satisfied his appetite
the same mulatto boy conducted him to q
bedroom, where he was made to understand
that he was to sleep and rest himself for
awhile. He now remembered the sealed

eye bet We l am, or I'd take ye right
plum to Frehchtown myself"
If there is no road to lead us off we can
make it without any more trouble now. Go
on, and good luck to you,' said Allen,
watching the boy until the thin, sorrcl mare
had galIoped out of sight. :" l am glad he is
not going back, for he might meet those
men and put them on our trail"
The fugitive held the child close in his
arms and put his horse into run. The
gallant steed almost flew along the wooded
road. On, on he sped like the wind A
high bridge which spanned q narrow, deep
stream burst into view. The gallant steed
Numbered over the bridge and assembled the
tall hill beyond.
FrenchtoWn was near; this journey would
soon be ended, but where was he to conceal
himself from those Wrathful purSuers when
it was ended! He had very complete de-
scription of Mile Camille's cottage, and
thought he could find it without trouble but
would it afford either himself or the child
shelter from their pursuers when found!
When the top of the great hill had been
reached the village appeared in sight. Tho
boy, recognizing the landscape, clapped his
hands with delight, as the tail church spire
was seen above the trees.
When they had reached. the top of another
hill they saw the village lying below them.
Not wishing to attract any attention Allen
reigned in their horse and rode quietly
down into the town.
Uttering gutteral cries of delight, the
dumb boy pointed toward a vine-covcred
cottage which Allen at once recognized by
the description to be the house OF Mile.
Camille. He rode quickly to it. A negro
man opened the gate and motioned him: to
enter.
Entering the gate he found himself in a
sort of court surrounded by wall ten feet
high. The place looked not little like Il
fortifcation. A woman about forty years of
age came out from the house, and taking
the little dumb boy who had been lifted to
the ground in her arms almost smothered
him with kisses.
Allen had hoped that he would meet some
one at this end of the journey who was able
and willing to enlighten him on the perpaex-
ing mystery; buthc was soon doomed to dis
appointment, for there was not one of the
household able to speak English.
