CHAPTER XIII.
THE BIRTH OF A scALAwAG.

1E B4N1d VI "A SCALA WAC
The overwhelming defeat of
their pets in the south, and the
topping of their houses of paper
bullion negro supremacy, brou-
ght to congress a sense of guilt
and shame, that required action.
Their own agents in the south
were now in the penitentiary or
in exile for we'll esta b1ished fe1on-
les and the future looked dark.
They found the scapegoat in
these fool latter day Ku Klux
marauders. Once more the pub
lie square at Hambright saw the
bivouacs of the regular troops of
the United States army. The
preacher saw the CLINT of their
bayonets with sense of relief,
With this army came a corp S
of skilled detectives, who set to
work. All that was necessary
was to arrest and threaten with
summary death a coward, and
they got all information he could
give. The jail was choked wit
prisoners andeHery daya squad
departfor the stockade at Indepen-
dence. Sam Worth gave inform
alton that led to the immediate
arrest of Allan McLeoud. He was
the first man led into the jail.
The officers had long confer
ence with him that lasted four
hours. And then the bottom fell
out. A wild stampede of young
men for the west! Somebody
who held the names of every man
in the order had proved traitor.
Every night from hundreds of
humble homes might be heard
the choking sobs Of a mother
saying goodby in the darkness to
the last boy the war had left her
mold age. When the goodby was
said, and the father, waiting in
the buggy at the gate, had called
for haste, and the boy was hurry
ing out with his grip-sack, there
was a moan. the soft rush of a
coarse homespun dress toward
the gate and her arms were arou-
nd his peck again! II can't let
you go, childl Lord have mercy.
He's the last!" And the low,
pitiful sobs!
Come, come, now Ma, we
must get away from here before
the officers are after hint"
Just minute."
A kiss, aud then another long
and lingering. A sigh, and then
smothcred choking cry from
mothers broken heart and he
was gone,
Thus Texas grew into the inn

was removed TO independence
With the other prisoners, and in
4 short time released, with n num-
Der of others against whom insig-
nificant charges were lodged.
When he returned to Ham
bright the people looked at him
with suspicion.
How is it, young man," asked
the preacher, that you are at
home so soon, while brave boys
arc serving terms in northern
prisons?"
Had nothing against me-" he
replied
That's strange, when Sam
Worth swore that you organized
the raid to kill Rufe Lattimore,"
They didn't believe him."
We'll, I've an idea that you
saved your hide by puking. I'm
moisture yet, but Information was
given that only the man in COM
mand of the whole county could
have possessed"
There were a half-dozen men
who knew as much as l did. You
mustn'tthink me capable of such
a thing. DR.. Durham" protested
Mcleod with heightened color.
It's a nasty suspicion. I'd ra-
Their see a child of mine trans
formed into cur dog; and Killed
for stealing sheep, than fall to
the level of such a man. But only
time will prove the issue"
I've made up my mind to turn
over a new leaf" said Mcleod.
I'm sick of rowyism. I'm go
ing to be a law-abiding, loyal cit
izen."
That's just what I'm afraid
off" exclaimed the preacher with
a sneer ashe turned and left him.
And his fears were soon con-
firmed. Within a month the In
dependence Observer contained
a dispatch from Washington an.
nouncing the appointment OF
Allan Mcleod a deputy United
States marshal for the district
of western North Carolina, to
gether with the information that
he had renounced his allegiance
to his old disloyal associates, and
had become an enthusiastic Rep
ublican; aud that henceforth he
would labor with might and main
to establish peace and further the
industrial progress of the south.

cried the preachcr,as, he showed
the paper to his wife.
Nov don't be too hard on the
boy, Doctor Durham, :" urged his
wife. He may be sincere in his
change of politics, You never did
like him"

my dear-1 never could Under.
stand it,"
When Mcleod had established
his office in Ham bright he made
specnlefforts to allay the suspic-
ions against his name. His indig-
nant denials of the report of his
treacheryconvinced many that he
had been wronged. Two men
alone, maintained toward him an
attitude of contempt, Major
Cameron and the preacher.
He called on Mrs. Durham.
and with his smooth tongue con.
vinced herthathe been foully slam
dered. She urged him to win the
doctor. Accordingly he called to
talk the question over with the
preacher and ask him for a fair
chance to build his character un-
furnished in the community.
The preacher heard him thro-
ugh patiently, but in silence. ALL
an was perspiring before he rea-
ched the end of his plausible ex-
PLANTATION. 1t was tougher task
than he thought this deliberate
lying, nader the gaze of those
glowing black eyes that looked
oHt from their shaggy brows and
pieIced through his inmost soul,
You've got an oily tongue. 1t
will carry you a long way in this
world. ! can't help admiring the
skill with which you are fast
learning to use it. You've fooled
Mrs. Durham with it, but you
can't fool me" said the preacher.
Doctor, I solemnly swear to
you ! am not guilty"
ITS no use to add perjury to
