Marse Benton, T you doan come Qnick
dis horse1l Spite de whole business.
Then another voice-a mere whisper,
half drowned by the sweep of the wind
in the trees-Pomp's quavering tenor.
"Yo doan need fotch nawthin.' Marse
Benton. We've got everythin' hyuh."
Then came a sudden scurry without,
for midway to the barn a soft, low
whistle sounded, and almost instantly
Benton heard the sound of hoofs again.
They were hurriedly leading horse
or two horses-away. A lantern swung
impatientIy at the corner of the barn.
Somebody was surely signaling.
something prompted him by way OF
answer to blow out his candle, to thrust
the notes-both scraps of paper-into
a convenient pocket, then to kneel by
the window and watch and listen
Almost instantly the lantern dis
appeared, and there were five minutes
of silence Then, as he knelt and
watched and waited and all was still
without and his darkey aides-de-camp
made no further hail, suddenly he
heard the creak behind him OF door
cautiously opening, and, looking over
his SnOulQEI III the SuOoIAy AASAS
sitting through the balustrade from the
floor below, he was able to discern a
tall, slender form coming noiselessly,
cautiously. straight to his now wide
open door Rosalie beyond Q doubt,
and abe believed him gone!
Go then he must! Athlete that he
had been, ever since boyhood. it was
no trick at all to swing. even one
handed, on so thick a rod. His heavy
gauntlet was already on, and, just as he
reached forth to grasp the iron, his
practiced ear caught the stealthy tread
of spurred boots on the path below
coming from the back gate-the way
to the barn. Another moment and,
distinctly. in a sudden lull OF the
breeze, he heard low, cautious voice
in half murmur, half whisper. Words
were indistinguishable. but he knew
the tones-Lounsherry beyond uues-

Benton could feel although only a

the girl beside him was fairly Quivering
at thar bare-faced wkopper. but CULVER

which.
