| he went to cutting, having just enough
wit TO do that for which his mind had
been headed, and naught else.
The mob took a fancy TO that new
cry of Mary Cavendish's. and every
now and then the field rang with il.

Der Nathaniel Bacon" 1t had a curious
effect. through starting in distant
quarter, where some of the fiercest
of the workers We're grouped, then
coming nearer and nearer. till the
whole field rang with that wide over
spread of human voice. above the juicy
slashing of the tobacco plants.
We had been at work some little time
when tall woman in black on black
horse came up at Il steady amble. her
horse being old. She dismounted near
me and her horse went to nibbling the
low hanging boughs of a locust near by,
and the moon shone full on her face.
and l saw she was the Widow Tabitha
Story. with that curious patch on her
forehead. Down to the tobacco she
bent and went to work stiffiy with I'M
accustomed hands to such work, and
then again rang that cry of Remember
Nathaniel Bacon.' And when she
heard that, up she reared herself, and
raised such a shrill response Of "Re-
member Nathaniel Bacon,' in a high
sobbing voice. as l never heard.
And after that for n minute the field
seemed to fairly howl with that cry OF
following. and memory for the dead
hero, always Madam Tabitha Story's
voice in the lead, shrieking over it like
a cats.
Lord have mercy on u.s." said Par
son Downs at my elbow. ''She will
have all England upon us, and where
fore could not the women have kept
out of this stewY'
With that he went over to the widow
and stroye TO quiet her, but she
only shrieked with more fury, with
Mistresses Longman and Allgood to aid
her, and then-came in mad rush
upon US of horse and foot, the militia,

not the heart of a woman If thou dost

quick glance at my face, SO close to
hers in the midst OF that hurrying
throng, and her blue eyes cleaned into
mine, and she said, with bright blush
over her cheeks and forehead and neck,
but proudly as If she defied even her
maiden shame in the cause of love,
But thou shalt yet know one, Harry"
Then, as If she had said too much,
she pulled her bride loose from my
OBTAINING hand with quick jerk and
touched her horse, and we were on that
hard gallop TO Laurel Greek.

the door upon both women and then

When at last we set forth, some of

old pirate captain to the front, hunched
to his saddle, for he never could sit a
horse like a landsman. but chung to
him as if he were a swaying mast and
worked his bride like wheel. with the
result of heavy lunges to right or left,

We hurried along the moonlit road,
then struck into "A bride path, being
bound for Major Robert Beverly's
plantation. he being supposed to know
naught of it. and indeed after his Is

which he much affected.
AS we rode along in silence. if any
man spoke Captain Jaynes quieted
him with n great oath smothered in his
chest as if by bed of feathers, and
presently 1 became aware there were
more of us than when we started. We
swarmed through the woods, our COM
pany being swelled invisibly from
every side, and not only men, but wom-

and Mistress Longman were pressing
on with their petticoats tucked up, and

into rank and file like company of

I, remembering this, whispered to
Mary Cavendish with all the strength
which I could muster.

But Mary looked at me, and can

Mistress Longman urging that
the tobacco be trAmpled down

could not fire upon our CONDUCTORS, that
| mob swept into Beverly's stables, and
presently out leaped, plunging with
terror, all his fine thoroughbreds, the
mob riding them about the fields in
wild career. And one of the maddest
of the riders, sitting astride and fog
ging her steed with q locust branch,
was Mistress Longman, while her hus-
band vainly fed after her, beseeching
her to stop, and those around were
roaring with laughter.
Then some must let out the majors
hogs, and they came roofing and tum-
bling with unwieldy gambols. And
with this wild troop of animals, and
the mob shrieking in frenzy of de-
light, and now and then a woman in
terror before the onslaught Of a gallop-
ing horse, and now and then a whole
group of cutters overset by a charging
hog, and up and after him, and Staying
him, and his squeals of agony-verily I
had preferred battlefield of different
sort.
And all this time Major Robert Bev-
erly'S house stood still in the moonlight
and not a noise from the slave quarters.
and the fields were all in pumice Of
wasted plant life, and we were about
to go farther when 1 heard again the
cry of the little child coming from a
chamber window. l trow they had
given her some quieting potion or she
had broken silence before.
With all our efforts the mob could
not be persuaded to return Major Bev-
erly's horses to his stables, which cir
cumstance was afterward to the saving
Of his neck, since it was argued that
he would not have abetted the using
of his fine stud in such wise, some of
the horses being recovered and some
being famed and cut.
So out of the Beverly plantation we
swept, those on horseback at gallop
and those on foot tramping after, and
above the tumult came that farthest
reaching cry of the world-the cry OF
little child frantic with terror.
Then they were for going to another
large plantation belonging to one Rich
ard Forster. who had gone in Ralph
brakes party, when all of a sudden the
horses of us who were leading swerved
aside, and there was Mistress Mary
on her Merry Roger. and by
her side, pulling vainly at her bride,
her sister Catherine.
