Evelyn was closely watching Wrinkle;
she had read him better than had her,
father.
1T was the noblest deed / ever heard
OF. she said, exultingly.
Wrinkle responded with shrug and
affrown. II.
'Fanshaw will pay well for il, in all
probability" he said, sullenly.
Despite her habitual command over
her emotions Eyelyn's face fell, but she
did not crafty her enemy by reply
Ing to his thrust.
Her father agreed with Wrinkle.
"Yes," he said, ''it is not over yet by
any means. Sgd and Thad will certain
ly be bent on revenge, and Fanshaw
will be their target. Ineversaw more
malignant countenance than Hart's
when he realized that his plans were
thwarted. l guess he will lie In wait
for Fanshaw on his return from DAN

Grown suddenly faint, Evelyn turned
into the hall. Mr.. Hardy's voice followed
her and beat pleasantly on her ears. Il

of courage" he was. saying. "Fanshaw
has the right kind Of grit. It's a pity
the world has not more men like him. -
Evelyn's window commanded a view
of the road leading from Danube to
Fanshaw's house, and the remainder of
the night, sleepless and distraught, she
sat gazing across the fields at a spot she
knew he must pass on his way home.
And there, in that awful still suspense,
she read her heart as she had never read
It before.
Yes she confessed to herself, aloud,
because she loved TO hear her own voice
pronouncing a truth which seemed to
have ,quickened her soul into a new and
higher life, Eyes, + love him! I love
him!"
About five; O'Clock, after it had grown
light-when the sky in the east was
turning golden--her long vigil was re-
warded. Moving along the. road, with
a tired step, she saw q: white horse, and
a moment later she recognized the
rider. Then she put her icy hands to
her face and burst into tears of relief.
An hour later, with a mothers solici-
tude, Mrs. Lancaster stole into her room
and found her asleep, her head resting
on the bare window board. The good
woman comprehended it all, and, rails
ing the girls face, she kissed her eye

words. II saw him come home. I in,
tended to 60 to bed then, but I was say
ing my prayers here whenI fell asleep"
Mrs. Lancaster's lips twitched sympa-
thetically as she put Evelyn to bed and
sat by her stroling her brow until
sleep came again. Then the old lady sat
with her chin resting in her hand, quite
thoughtful.

duty lies," she unused. ''She loves him

CHAPTER VIII.

The greater part of that day the man
hunters were beating the swamp for the
escaped prisoner The colonel's house
hold was under a stress of excitement
that wore sharply on the nerves of the
ladies, who momentarily expected to
hear of the capture. Grim curiosity had
drawn nearly all the negroes to the
swamp, and the plantation presented a
deserted aspect that had not rested up
on it since the close of the civil war.
About noon Capt. Wrinkle, wh had been
riding from one point of observation to
another, came in to rest and refresh
himself at the punch-bowl of his host.
"The rascal certainly has given them
the slip so far" he said, with unmasked
discomfort, to the colonel and the ladies
on the veranda. As he spoke his glance
was bent designedly on Evelyris face.
1t was as if he were deliberately trying

"Bloodhounds!" cried Evelyn. 'Why,

| The guests and family at Carnleigh
usually came down to breakfast irregu-
larly, but this morning by eight o'clock
they We're all at the table, including
Evelyn. The colonel, who had been out
for an early business walk with one Of
his overseers, was the last to sit down.
And as he took his place at the head
of the table he had the air of a man
anxious to be questioned. He had
picked up piece of news.
''Well." he began, with twinkling
eyes. ''it seems that Ronald Fanshaw
was not spending his breath and<rid-
ing his horse to death for nothing"
$50 he reached the Jail all right, did
he?" inquired Mr.. Hardy, as he put a
spoonful of whipped cream into his cof-
fee.
f'"'"'Oh, yes, he made that trip all right,
but the news has just come from Wilkin
Station, on the other side of the noun
tain, that a negro has been arrested
who has already confessed to the crime
of killing the old woman"
$50 the boy was innocent, after all"
cried Hardy.
r"Yes; the sheriff nabbed the wrong
bird at the start, and if it had not been
for Fanshaw his body would have been
swinging at the sport of the wind this
morning.
:s'And widowed mother would have
been without her son. put in Mrs. Ian

''Fanshaw did only what any man
would have done who believed in the

match for him. Its only what one

II am sorry it was Ronald Fanshaw

Caroline Hasbrooke, coldly. '.Since he
