Into the Oak Knobs" Uncle Owen
answered.
~ want to buy your best horse, saddle
and briaSs" The purchase was soon made
and the mext morning Uncle Owen started
on his dangerous journey.
He will never come back" Albert Rey-
nolds declared.
For days Owen Redgrave wandered
through a strange wild country. meeting
people who eyed him with suspicion, no
doubt mistaking him for one of the hated
revenues" entering their domain. The
land being densely wooded and in easy
reach of half dozen States, was at this
time a famous resort for all sorts Of crimi-
mails other than .'moonshiners."
During the night bad dreams aroused
him and he started up in bed. The cold
mo0nbeams We're streaming through the
windows, flooding the room with silver
light. A man in long white robe stood 81
lent and ghostlike in the room. His mar
BILE face, his sharp features, his jet black
hair and beard were familiar. 1t was La
Flore, the French gambler, murdered two
months before. Shivering and quaking
with horror, Uncle Owen was about to
shrek aloud when the grim specter raised
one awful hand and chained him in silence
to the bed. He fell back in a swoon, and

Aunt Chloe soon brought his dinner,

Aunt Chloe soon brought his dinner,
and after eating heartily he drank more
wine until lie was stupehed, and fell
asleep on the rustic seat on the piazza.
He went back to the Redgrave man
sion and sobered off and the next morn
ing set out for the home of Lille Bunkies
| and her aunt.
Though his blood had been boiled in
alcoholic stimulants, John Redgrave still
possessed some degree of cunning. His
mind was busy planning and thinking. He
had his ambitions as well as other men,
and loved in his selfish way.
| Lille Bunkles was the acknowledged
belle of all western Kentucky, and to
win her was to have the fairest wife in
| ton as well as his love and admiration.
Besides, the Bunkles homestead was a
desirable property and could be disposed
of for good sum.
Little change had come over the place
since Johns last visit, but a sad change
| had come over Lille. She was no longer
| the merry, bright-faced girl, the pride OF
the old Kentucky home. Her cheeks had
grown pale and wan, her bright eyes sad
and she was often found in tears.
The great cause of her woe was the
arrest and incarceration of Frank Vernon
| in prison, in whom she felt deeper inter
est than she was willing TO acknowledge
| and in whose innocence she firmly believed
4 Aunt Annie" said Lille to Mrs. Flax
man, one day, would it be proper for me
to call on a prisoner in jail?'
| Yes" the aunt answered. IF it is
to encourage him to do the right, or tC
put his trust in God"
Il know Frank is innocent. and he has
been in prison three or four weeks, and
have never gone to say word to him.
| II think you should
Il will go tomorrow"
HE will be pleased to see you, l an

There is John Redgrave," gasped Lille
as that individual drove up to the gate
and before she could run, he was in heI
presence.
''Well, Lille, l have come back"
| ''Did / not tell you never to return,
she cried angrily.
.'And did l not say 1 would return,
he answered. "Come, come, Lille; it is
for you / have come back. l want nc
quarrel, but compromise"
What have l to compromise? The
mortgage to which you lay claim is moi
yours, but Uncle Owens"
Uncle Owen may say what he pleases
the mortgages are in my possession. Now
| will you be my wife, or go out in the world
a beggar? And furthermore, Lille, the
| life of Frank Vernon is in my hands
can condemn him hang. or give him his
| liberty. Be mine, and he lives; refuse,
and he hangs. Now, which is it, life OF
death?"
| She started back with a gasp of horror,
and John followed up the advantage he
| saw he now had.
Now, be my wife, and you keep your
| home and Frank Vernon's life is spared
refuse, and, by the eternal. you lose your
| home and hang your lover. I'm coming

ant laugh left the house, hurried to his
buggy. and leaping in drove furiously down
the road.

and again it missed fire. He tried the

Let me have one of the cartridges, "
said the smith. Uncle Owen extracted
one and gave it to him. He screwed the
metallic chamber in a vice and with pair
of nippers drew the bullet, then examin
ing the contents back of the leaden ball
said:
"a trick was played you last night
while you slept which, but for your acci.

the contents on his anvil. They were

three days before John. his only living rela-

in his carOusal. had almost forgotten I'm

he decided to call on him and replenish

amazement when the servant said he was
gone.
"Goner' gasped John, opening his eyes
and mouth. Where has he gomez

Don't know, sou black grandson of an

angrily. What are you here for, if it's
not to find out such things?"

"What did you let him go for?" cried
John.
'I'm not marster, sab, but jist de butlah,

'Yes. and blockhead yOu- are. too.
Why didn't you come to me and tell me
he was going away? I'd stopped him.
Adolphus, who felt the dignity of his
position, and who was the pink of perfec-
tion in dress and style. looked into the
pale, dissipated face for a moment, and
remarked:
.".Marster goes swhenever he wants to,

In his desperation he remembered the
notes and mortgage on the Bunkles plan

had refused his suit, and he determined
to at once bring on the crisis.
"Yes; I'll go and see her at once" he
thought. "I'll make her marry me and
support me, or In turn her old aunt ont
