to the young woman since the affair Of

CHAPTER Xxx.

Just here it is necessary to digress
for few minutes.
Cy Walters, the BIPARTISAN and ter
rible raider, was never more enraged
than when he opened his eyes in the
rear room of the old inn at Aldine,
reused by the slight noise made by my
leap to the ground, and saw that | had
escaped. The raised sash and the mo-
tionless form of his stepson explained
what had occurred, and he bounded to
his feet like a panther, Winchester in
hand. His action, however, failed to
rouse Archie Hunter, who slept calmly
through the stirring incidents that i'm
mediately followed 1t is easy to see
that mad he not done so my own situa-
tion would have been materially chang
ed.
The exchange of shots in which Cy
and | INDUCED over the rear fence of
the garden has been related, as we'll as
my own subsequent movements.
When the veteran returned to the
inn, he crawled through the window
from which he had leaped, and, kicking
over the chair of his relative sent him
sprawling on the floor and thoroughly
reused him from his costly slumber 1t
is not necessary to record the exchange
of compliments. Much as Cy blamed
his son, he blamed himself more
'This never could have happened in
wartimes," was his bitter reflection,
"but it must be because I'm growing
old"
1t was not long after the incident and
while the two We're discussing what
should be done to recapture me that an
unexpected ally appeared on the scene
i'll the person of Gabe Horner and his
pet bloodhound. Gabe was one of the
most clamOrous of the crowd that had
demanded my instant lynching. He
was resentful when the decision of
DUNCAN, the leader, caused a postpone
ment until the following morning He
went to his home some distance in the
country, so angry that he could not
sleep. With the unreasoning suspicion
of a bad man he formed the belief that
plot was on foot to allow me to escape
during the night and that DUNCAN had
instigated it, with my two jailers as his
agents.
Gabe knew that the majority of the
mob were with him, and to forestall
any treachery he set out with his dog
for the inn so as to be ready to take my
trail If anything of the kind should oc-
cur. He arrived to have his suspicious
verified, but Cy and Archie were so
reused that he could not avoid holding
them guiltless in the matter The pur-
suit was organized without delay. The
bloodhound took my trail, and the three
men followed hOtfoot.
AS the reader has learned, something
happened to that brute at the clearing
i'll Black Mans swamp and for the time
being the hunt had to be pushed with
| out his aid.
The pursuers knew they were near

ber during the greater part Of that time.
On questions of domestic concern he has
been an aggressive and consistent party
man. On questions of international con-
ceTR he has been one of the most advanced
and broad-ninded of Americans. His name
il associated with all the great movements
of our recent national life. He advocated
the annexation of Hawaii. He stood for
interference In Cuba, and stands now for
disCharging our full duty toward the pos
sessions which have come to us as the re-
suit Of the war with Spain. He advocates
the digging of the Nicaragua canal. He
has served the country abroad on two
commissions. one sitting at Paris and the
other at Honolulu. with conspicuous credit.
In a word, Mr.. Morgan is ripe man OF
clear vision, and of assured position in the
country's esteem. The policies of greatest
Importance coming on now for treatment
he has helped to shape. No public man
understands them better, or in giving them
final form would serve in office better.
Alabama is as vitally interested in the re-
suit as is any of her sister states, and it
would be strange if she should turn from
this most famous and useful of all her liv-
ing sons and put her commission into the
hands of a new and an untried man, what
ever his personal deserts or promise may
be. And perhaps it is not improper for an
outsider to say this.
