RISING SUN, CECIL COUNTY, MD, FRIDAY, MARCH go 1903

Rossiter excused himself and has.
Tened to the door. Without, half a
dozen of the more curious men had
collected. AS Rossiter joined them
there rose the sound of struggle
below the kiln, and they heard Jack
Parmelee's voice, loud and stern. AL
moved hastily in the direction from
which it proceeded. AS they gained
the corner they made out three men
approaching, followed closely by two
others. One of those in advance was
Parmelee. He was gripping the man
next him by the shoulder and wrist,
while this individual was held in
similar fashion by the one walking
upon the other side. An intuition
had told Rossiter that the cause of
the commotion was ''Whiskers," and
tive whom Parmelee and his compan-
ion were marching between them was
none other than Hart Dawson, and
more like wild animal he looked
than human being.
The group of which Rossiter was a
member parted, allowing the two
men and their prisoner to pass.
"You will come snoopin' around
scarin' honest folk, will you, you
hairy ape!' Parmelee was saying.
''The place for you and all like you,
is the Jug and an alfred pity it is
we can't spare the time to take you
there. But I've a little medicine
that'll teach you not to show your
ugly mug here again. Hey, Dick
Whittlesey! where's that ox-goad?"
''I'll git it," said the man addressed,
one of the farm-hands close at Par
melee's heels.
Captors and captive, and the at
tendant onlookers, among whom was
Rossiter, were nearing the roadway
gate when Whittlesey returned from
his errand.
"Give me the goad, and take hold
here for a minute" said Parmelee.
Whittlesey did as commanded.
''Now we'll move on" Parmelee con-
tinued.
Presently the four were standing in
the middle of the road, while the
spectators paused in the gateway.
Parmelee got a firm grip on Dawson's
coat-collar at the back of his neck.
"When give the word you men let
CO." he cried.
They made ready to spring back.
"Now!" he exclaimed, and the next
instant the whistling goad wound
around the legs of the struggling
tramp. In vain did he strive to turn
and close with Mr.. Merton's over
seer. He was in the grip of one more
than his equal in strength, who had
over him distinct advantage. Again
and again the goad descended, and
then at length Parmelee released
his hold. ''Whiskers" wheeled as
though he would leap upon his chas-
tiser, but the merciless goad cut him
stingingly across his cheek, and he
ran bowling and cursing into the
night.

CHAPTER K.
PASSING DAYS.

Rossiter had his third dance with
Miss Densmore, but he saw that it
was an effort for her to go through
the whole company had fallen many
degrees. Miss Merton's friends de-
clared that they must be going home,
and with their departure the two
girls retired to the house. Rossiter
fingered few moments in the kiln
after they had left and then sought
his cot. He could not sleep, how
ever, and as the music still continued
his thoughts drifted with it up and
down the gamut of the nights hap
penings. He wondered if Miss Dens-
more would be able to carry out her
determination to keep from the store
of her hop-picking experiences
treasure-trove of memory. He feared
this was little likely, though he real
lied that she was a girl of strong
will. In such matters, however, the
mind cannot be coerced. Then he be-
gan to query what part, if any, he
played in that which she would re-
tain and cherish. He was now past
calling himself a fool for dwelling
upon her. He had suddenly assumed
a different attitude in this regard.
He would indulge in the luxury of
playing the moth. There was fine
exaltation in being singed at so
bright a flame, and if no one save
himself was aware of the singeing,
what did it matter?
Late in the night soft rain began
falling, and it's monotone lulled Ros-
sitter to sleep. Everything was drip
ping in the morning, and no one
turned out early, for picking was i'm
possible. By three o'clock, however,
a portion of one yard which stood
upon high ground was sufficiently
dry under foot, so work was here re-
sumed. All the land near the house
devoted to hops had by this time
been cleared, and the pickers were
obliged to walk a considerable dis
tance from the farm buildings before
reaching the scene of their efforts.
Rossiter caught but glimpse or
TWO OF MISS DenSmOre on the Qay roll
lowing the dance, as she and Miss
Merton did not go into the fields.
He had a bright nod from her as he
was hurrying by the house ON an
errand for Parmelee, and again in the
evening spoke an instant with her
and with Miss Merton upon the
porch. On Saturday, however, both
girls were once more picking. In
fact, they were out earlier than
common.
"See how ambitious we are get
ting!" exclaimed Miss Merton, as
Rossiter wished them good-morning.
Positively grasping!" cried Miss
Densmore. "We counted up our
tickets last night, and calculated
how much money we were likely to
have at the end. I've spent mine in
my mind dozen times already" and
she gave one of her infectious little
laughs.
That day was one of delight to
Rossiter. Both of the girls were as
blithe as birds, and he caught some-
thing of their gayety. Only once was

CnoFe any reference TO the occurrence
which had in a measure marred the
pleasure of the hop-dance.
Miss Merton had walked across to
chat a moment with Mrs. Becraft, to
whom shs had taken a fancy, and
whom she recalled from the preced-
ing year, and Rossiter CHANGED to be
stripping a pole near the box of the
two girls.

waiting for her to complete the SEN
tence. There seemed to be no other
way but to be perfectly frank with
her. "But he'll not come 'snoopin'
round again, as Mr.. Parmelee says
II heard what Jack did. 1 wonder
if it was the wisest course to take?
Anyhow, I should be afraid to turn
such creature loose after it,
The same thought had occurred to
Rossiter, but he did not acknowledge
it. "Whiskers'" " bitter vindictiveness
he did not doubt. Fear of being
caught was the only thing that would
deter him from attempting some sort
of revenge. Indeed, that had already
occurred, had Rossiter but known it,
which went far towards disproving
his assertion in regard to Dawson's
temperance.
AS the pole-puller and Joe Becraft
were walking towards the sleeping
quarters of the men that night they
fancied they detected figure in the
shadow Of tree near the lower rear
corner of the hop-kiln.
"We'd better see who that is," said
Rossiter; ''there may be some mis-
chief going on here"
AS they advanced the figure
emerged from the gloom and came
to meet them.
"It's me-" said Parme1ee's jolly
voice, "just havin' look round.
Come into the kiln a minute" Thus
bidden, they went along with him.
''You go out back there" Parmelee
said to a farm hand whom they found
within, 'and keep your eyes open"
The pungent smell of the drying
hops perneated the air. Parmelee
opened the door which led down into
the foorless space where the huge
stove stood to see that the draughts
were right and the fire hot. Sui
phur fumes from two pans upon the
stove-top were rising thickly, and
little blue streamer foated out into
the baling room of the kiln. Parmelee
slammed the door and turned to-
wards Rossiter and Becraft.
II was lynn here last night, on the
bunk yonder," said he, with a jerk
of his thumb, "'long about two
o'clock. I'd just got fresh kiln
