CHAPTER XVIII.

The Red Flag of the Auctioneer.
The excitement through which
Tom Camp had passed in the
death of his daughter, and the
stirring events connected with it,
had been more than his feeble
body could endure. He had been
stricken with paroxysms of pain
and nausea from his old wounds.
For three days and nights he had
suffered unspeakable agonies.
He had borne his pain with stoi-
cal Indifference.
Tom, old man, do look at me!
You skeer me-" said his wife
leaning tenderly over him.
oh! I'm all right, Annie"
What was you studyin' about
them"

So, leaning on his wife',s arm,

General Worth, who sought an
interview with Legree when his
council first issued their levy of
80 per cent for municipal pur-
poses.
Mr.. Legree, let's understand
one another" said the. general.
All right, I'm a man of rea-
son."
"A bird in hand is worth two
in the bush!"
Every time, general"
We'll, call off your dogs and
rescind your order for a 80 per

$4,000 in cash and pay it to you

Agreed"
The general raised $4,000 in
the city, went north and borrowed
the remaining $4,000.
Legree and his brigands re-
ceiyed this ransom and moved on
to the next town.

and no mills to interest the COM
