mercyl What shall we do2 They're
Concord people!"
Miss Pinkney was right as 10 the
newcomers being Concord people, but
wrong, terribly wrong, in suggesting
such a thing as a trap.
Bilkins, Glimmer and Pettibone were
dashing across the stretch OF treeless
plain straight toward them. They
looked most formidable, especially the
sheriff whose whole manner suggested
the avenging Nemesis of tabled origin.
And this" cried Miss Betty, pas
sionate reproach in her every tone,
this is your doing, Mr.. Herbert! Your
base plot will fail, but | shall never for
get it. never, never!"
She cut her horse with the whip and
the animal sprang away so swiftly
that Miss Betty's becoming hat was
jcrked from her fair head and fell 20
the bottom of the carriage.
As for Guy, he was stricken dumb in
his tracks. He could say nothing, do
nothing-simply stand where he was
and watch the carriage disappear on
one hand and the shouting and angry
trio advance on the other.
What untimely fate had brought
Bilkins and Glimmer to the sherifT's
rescue and made possible this awful
finale?
GUY was soon TO know.
CHAPTER XIII.

Glimmer and Pettibone separated, sur
