words OF the plotters.
Il think l can creep under the bed, where
he is, without wakin' the boy. You can hold
the trap-door open and stand ready to help"
Then they had an accomplice under the
bed, l told myself, retreating wild-eyed to the
opposite wall and looking vainly about for a
weapon
A few bars of moonlight sifted into the
garret through crevices between the logs
from which the chinks and mud had fallen.
One of these bars fell on dark outline be-
meath the bed, and, as l stared at it, it took
on the semblance of man.
/ could scarcely repress scream as l saw
the mans dark face peering out at me. 1t was
clearly cut and distinct, and l knew l was
not a victim To mental deluson.
Picking up the one chair in the room, ]
backed into the corner, determined to defend
myself to the last
Glancing from the bed to the trap-door, /
saw it slowly rise. Then the face of the oldest
boy came into view. He hestated moment;
then, doubtless satisfied from the looks of the
piled bed-clothing that l was sound asleep,
he crept softly into the room on his hands
and knees.
With garing eyes, saw the boy reach and
crawl under the bed, expecting him to reap
pear instantly with drawn knife or blud-
con.
saw the face that had so startled me move
sdewise and outward, the boy closely follow
ing it. Then he arose, holding it carefully in
his hands
1t was face of clay, modelled out of the
tenacious and non-friable mud of the river!
AS | made this discovery, the reaction in
my feelings was so great that almost felt to
the floor fainting.
The boy heard my involuntary sigh of re-
lief, and think, no doubt, that | was about
to awaken, made dive for the trap-door
and disappeared like flash from before my
astonished vision.
/ saw the clay model before l rode away
the next morning, but | did not tell of the
fright it had assisted in giving me; and the

After scrambling down hundred feet or
more, among tangled bushes and the swing

1t proceeded from spring that spouted
from beneath the roots of a big chestnut. The
water collected in a little pool at the foot of
the tree, and then ran in rivulet to the
shadowy hollow.
The burrs of the chestnut covered the
ground, and the brown nuts, shattered from
their sIlken coverings by contact with the

and began to collect and eat the chestnuts
After little, L extended my explorations
and found red haw bush, loaded with ripe
haws.
Reclining beneath this, 1 nibbled at the
haws, for they were more seeds than pulp
and, from a dreamy indolent state, lapsed

horse, and galloped down the road till reach
ed the next "hog back"
The shadows were already deepening In the
hollows, and l was chilled by the fear that
night would overtake me while l was yet in
the "Knobs."
1t was after sunset when / descended the
bluffs, which, on that side, came quite to The
waters edge, seemingly determined to crowd
the Muscattuck into the fat cornfelds be-
yond.
An old,fashioned ferry boat, intended to be
drawn across by rope and man power. aided
by the current bumped its nose bndly
against the rocky bluff, and near it rose the
ferryman's shanty, dark mosaic of logs, clap
boards, wide chimney and river mud, outlined
against the shimmering background of sunlt
water.
The ferryman appeared as 1 drew near the
house
"You can't make it into Brownstown to-
night" he said, in answer to my request to
be ferried across. cts a goodish ways yit,

quite shaky from nervousness, and he eyed
me in way that did not tend to soothe me
into a calmer state.
He was a keen-eyed, bushy bearded man,
and particularly rough in speech and man
ner. AS l sat there, mentally debating what
course to pursue, the unpleasant suggestion

came to me that he was probably urging me
to remain for purpose
The package of money pinned tightly in
an inner pocket of my coat seemed to bulge
just then in manner that could not fail to
betray its presence to close observer, and
the sharp eyes of the ferryman l was GER
tain, had taken in every detail of clothing
and feature.
l was not in the least reassured when two
lank, half-grown boys slouched out of the
woods and came toward us. They carried
guns; and the dog that trotted at their heels
made terrifying dash at me as soon as he
drew near

tones. 81 am sure l can find the way very

moreover quite ashamed of my fears They
were essentially the fears of coward; and,
in those imaginary journeys | was always un-
dertaklng, l had ever been heroically brave
and manly.
In reply to this last appeal, the ferryman
asked me number of questions about my
self and parents, and concerning the knowl-
edge / had of the road beyond, to which
had no thought of giving any but truthful

He turned away, as if the question were
settled beyond further controversy, and walk
ed into the house. l had one Aeeting thought
of plunging the horse bodily into the river and
swimming him to the opposite shore
Then | slipped to the ground, and the old
est boy led the way to the stable. The other
followed his father into the house, from which
soon emanated the odor of frying bacon.
When the horse had been watered and fed,
! the boy, who had accompanied and assisted
me, tried to draw me into conversation. |
| replied rather curtly, / am afraid, fearing ]
might let slip some information concerning
the package of money.
| After supper the ferryman told intermii-
able stories, to which ! Listened silently, and
the boys, doubtless thinking me a sur1y fcl-
low, amused themselves by tittering and whis
perng in a corner.
When bedtime arrived l was shown I'D

roof was so low that the bed was jammed
