Clark, Beverley and Oncle Jazon con-
suited together and agreed among
themselves that they would hold pro-
foundry secret the story Of the scalp.
To have made it public would have ex-
asperated the creoles and set them vio-
lently against Clark, a thing heavy with
disaster for all his future plans. As 1t
was, the release of Long Hair caused
great deal Of dissatisfaction and mutt
nous talk. Even Beverley now felt
that the execution ordered by the COM
mander ought to have been sternly car
ried out.
| A day or two later, however, the
whole dark affair was closed forever by
4 bit Of confidence on the part of Oncle
Jazon when Beverley dropped into his
hut one evening to have a smoke with
him.
The rain was over, the sky shone like
one vast luminary, with a nearly full
moon and thousand stars reinforcing
it. Up from the south poured one of
those balmy, accidental wind floods
sometimes due in February on the Wa
bash, full of tropical dream hints, yet
edged with a winter chin that smacks
Of treachery. Oncle Jazon was unusu-
ally laxative. He may have had a
deep draft Of liquor; at all events Bev-
erley had little room tor word
well, bein' as it's 'twixt us as is
bosom frien's." the old fellow presently
said, "l'n jes' show ye somepin' poor,
IT,"
He pricked the wick Of lamp and
| took down his bunch of scalps.
Il hev been Aladdin one more to keep
company O. mine an the tothers."
He separated the latest acquisition
from the rest of the wisp and added
with a heinous chuckle:
This ms Long Hair's!'
And 50 it was. Beverley knocked the
ashes from his pipe and rose to go.
"W'en they kicks yer Oncle Jazon's
ribs" the old man added, they'd jes
