CHAPTER vi.
POLLY RESORTS TO STRATEGY.


During Polly's absence Robin had
been summoned to join the outlaws in
glade where they had previously
gone to prepare their horses, SO that
when she returned to the cave it was
deserted. Knowing that he was to ac-
company the expedition, however, she
OWNED the reason for his absence. and
sat down on a couch of bearskins to
ponder.
A hundred wild projects to outwit
the bandits purposes hurried one after
another through her mind. but all were
impracticable and had to be abandoned.
She began to despair, and then terri
BILE apprehension seized upon her.
What if Claudius Smith should put
his diabolical scheme in execution be-
fore sac could invent a plan to thwart
it2
She was aware that Caleb Shurker
had been the cause of her lover i'm
prisonment and that his wife had aban-
doned Robin for the old miser at a
time when he was languishing in Jail
on her account. But as these wrongs
had been the means of turning his
heart to her, Polly harbored no i'll feel
ings toward them. In fact, she pitied
Zadie profoundly for having sacrificed
herself to the commands of her tyrant
| father, and, now that she was threaten
ed with disaster. was ready to run any
risk to save her.
But how could this be accomplished
In vain had she endeavored to devise
| means Indeed the more she reflected
on the problem the greater became he1
bewilderment, until at last the utter
hopelessness and helplessness of her po-
sition inspired her to take a desperate
| chance.
| Her plan was to make a catspaw Of
Richard Smith. She knew that the out
law loved her in his brutal way and
hoped that she might persuade him te
assist her by pretending to return his

''The wretch is far too stupid to sus-
pect me-" she reasoned, and will will

only hope the expedition will not start
until have had chance to try him.
So, hastily throwing shawl over her
shoulders, che left the cavern and cross
ed the platform toward the place Of
council She observed that the confer
ence had just come to an end, as the
officers were dispensing in various di-
rections. She observed further and
the sight made her heart beat quickly
that Richard Smith was advancing
in her direction and that he was alone
"Out for a stroll. my fair charmera'
he inquired as he drew near.
Eyes; / have come out to see your
expedition start. she answered. with
a pleasant smile.
"Oh, we shall not leave until after
darkl" said the outlaw.
"And then," she returned timidly.
81 suppose l will be left alone to the
mercy of wild beasts.
Eye need have no fear on that
score. returned the outlaw. with a
coarse laugh. "a guard will be left be-
hind to protect ye"
"You are very kind, am sure, - said
Polly demurely. Then, with an air Of
well feigned anxiety, she asked earnest
ly, sis it true that my companion is
going on this expeditionf"
"Do you mean your loverf" This
with a scowl
The girl pretended to be annoyed at
the question and answered scornfully:
"My lover. indeedl am tired Of his
love- In fact. since have been in this
place I have seen that he is not the
only man in the world worth loving"
Here she dropped her eyes modestly
upon the ground.
"What's that ye sayf'' cried the out
law excitedly. "Ye don't love Robin
Ye've seen another more to your
fancyf"
Polly laid her little hand gently upon
his arm and beaming upon him coquet.
tishly answered:
"Yes; I have seen a man here whom
would marry tomorrow If he would
only help me to escape from Edward
Robin.
The outlaws face became Nvid with
suppressed passion.
"Who is hef His namef' he criei
in a choked voice.
She drew back from him in alarm
but, quickly controlling this feeling, re
piled with an air of assumed confusion

Ma Belle! it is Of you my dreams,
The chrysanthemums, upon your breast,
Their color gold, more golden seems,
There trembling in unrest.
Trembling beneath your fair young face,
Tenderly, you are looking down,
While In fascination trance,
Rare dreams, dreaming Of Annie Brown,

The silvered ripples broken run,
Weaving lace work in the spray,
Flashing with gems beneath the sun,

Hooded over with a jeweled crown,
Beneath it is fair young face,
The winsome face of Annie Brown,
Lovely Annie Brown.
The flowers are pretty full blooming,
Their fragrance is Of Eden's fair cline,
The soul, in their presence communing,
Taste Of love, its essence divine,
In the glamor of rose-tint that fingers

My soul with mystical fingers
Weaves wreaths, flower wreaths, for Annie

Polly laid her little hand gently upon hts

"You know who he is very well,

VIOLENT ATTACK MADE UPOY COL

Result of Criticisms Upon ROme's
Council for Increasing Clerk Hal
sted Smiths saInry-Parties VIII
he Tried Before the Recorder.
City Attorney Underwood Went for
Editor Knowles for Practically
the Same Reason.
Rome, Ga, Jan. 12.-To-day Rome has
been in the throes of sensational excite
ment caused by a personal difficulty be-
tween Col b. f. Sawyer, editor of the
Evening Argus, and two sons of City
Clerk Halsted Smith.
The affair occurred about o'clock this
morning on the Broad street bridge. The
boys, Holmes Smith and Norris Smith, had
called at Col Sawyers home Tuesday
night, and told him he must quit pub
fishing certain editorials criticising the
City Council very severely for increasing
the city clerks salary, and also the city
attorneys opinion which held that the
Councils action was legal in doing this.
Yesterday afternoon the Argus published
another scathing article, telling of the
Smith boys call on the editor. Therefore
the difficulty to-day was not unexpected.
In the fight Col. Sawyer was struck sew
era times with a steel-rod cane, and his
wrist was bruised, while Norris Smith
was cut about the head several times by
Robert Sawyer, who was with his father.
Smiths wounds were not serious. The
parties have been arrested and will be
tried before Recorder Eubanks
Underwood Goes for Knowles.
City Attorney Underwood and Mr.. w. A.
Knowles, editor of the Tribune, had a per-
sonal difficulty in the Tribune office yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Knowles has made the
following statement to the News CORE
spondent:
CITY Attorney Underwood came to the
Tribune office with his friend, Lem EARLY.
He had in his hand an editorial clipped
from the Tribune which commented on his
legal opinion in reference to the increase
of city clerks salary. l told him l would
publish any statement he would write and
give me. He replied that he demanded a
retraction. l refused, stating that l sup
posed he and his friend had come up for
a difficulty and | further said that the ed
torial was Just and a fair criticism of
his opinion. He called me a liar and I
struck him several times with my fist. We
were then separated. This is all care to
say about the matter"
City Attorney Underwood tonight re-
fused to make any statement. Mr.. Under
wood 5 head was badly cut by large dia-
mond ring on Mr.. Knowles finger.
