gerfield could be very serious with
herself, though it rarely pleased her
to be serious with other people; and
she knew that the time had long
passed for her return to the house. If
her conspiracy with Thomas Ard
more had proved successful. the duke
would not return to the great house;
but her own prolonged absence was
something that had not been in her
program.
She did not know then that three
men had witnessed her flight from the
duke, or that they had taken swift
vengeance upon him for his unpardon-
able conduct in the moon-blanched
road. 1t was not Jerry's way to accept
misfortune ,tamely, and after encir-
cling the wall of timber that shut her
in, in the hope of determining where
she had entered, she chose a trail at
random and plunged into the woods.
She assumed that probably all the
roads and paths on the estate led more
or less directly to the great house or

10 some lodge or bungalow. She had
lost her riding-crop in her mad fight,
and she broke off a switch, tossing its
leaves into the moonlight and laugh
ing softly as they rained about her.
Jerry began whistling gently to her
self, for she had never been lost be-
fore, and it is not SO bad, when you
have good horse, fair path sweet,
odorous woods and the moon to keep
you company. She forded brook that
was silver to eye and ear and let her
horse stand midway of it for joy in
the sight and sound. She had kept no
account of time, but rather imagined
that it had not been more than half
an hour since the Duke of Bally-
Wrinkle left her so uncerimoniously.
Suddenly ahead of her through the
| woods fioated the sound of singing
one of those strange, wavering pieux
cantiques peculiar to the south. She
rode on, thinking to find help and a
guide back to Ardsley; then the mu-
sic ceased, and lights now flashed
family before her, but she went for
ward guardedly.
"I'm much more lost than l thought
was, for must be away off the es-
tate" she reflected. She turned and
rode back few rods and dismounted,
and tied her horse to sapling. She
was disappointed at not finding a
camp of Ardmores wood cutters, to
whom she would have unhesitatingly
have confided herself; but 1t seemed
wise now to exercise caution in draw
ing to herself the attention of strang-
ers. She did not know that she had
crossed the state line and was in
South Carolina, or that the singing
she had heard foated from the win
dows of Mount Nebo church.
She became now the astonished
witness of series of incidents that
occurred so swiftly as fairly to take
her breath away A tall, loosely ar
ticulated man came from the direction
of the church and walked toward her.
She knelt at the tree and watched,
the moonlight giving her a clear view
of a rustic somewhat past middle age,
whose chief characteristics seemed
to be a grizzled beard and long arms
that swung oddly at his side. The
brim of his wool hat was turned up
sharply from his forehead. and she

gray eyes with which he swept the
forest before him. He freed a. horse
which she had not before noticed and
she concluded that he would not aD-
proach nearer, for she expected him to
mount and ride away to join others
of the congregation whom she heard
making off in a road beyond the
church. Then, with quickness and
dizziness that baffled her eyes, two
men rose beside him just as he was
about to mount; there was no cutlery,
and no sound of scuffling, so quick
was the descent and so perfect the
understanding between the captors. In
a moment the man was gathered up,
bound, and flung on his saddle. She
had a better view of him, now that he
was hatless, though a gag had been
forced into his mouth and handker-
chief tied over his eyes, so that he
presented a grotesque appearance.
Jerry was so absorbed that she for
got to be afraid; never in her life
had she witnessed anything so amaz-
ing as this; and now, to her more
complete bewilderment, the captorss.

fact that impressed Griswold They
we're all risking much in this enter
rise, but they were outwardly upper
.urbed, and chewing their tobacco
silently, while they awaited the re-
turn of the two active agents in the
conspiracy who had dealt directly
With Appleweight. Habersham counted
heads, and announced all present and
accounted for.
The tall leader who had ridden the
mule was the first to rise out OF the
lnderbrush, through which he had
,rawled circuitously from the rear of
The church. His companion followed a
lew seconds later.
We've got Bill, all tied and gagged
md a-settin' of his hoss," drawled the
leader, "and the boss is tied to the
back fence. Rest o. his boys thought
he'd gone ahead, but they may miss
him and come back. He's safe enough
and eff we keep away from him we'll
be ready to light out eff the gang
scents trouble and comes back to look
Ter BILL
you're sure he's tied up so he can't
break away or yell?"
Hes as good as dead, a-settin' of
ais boss in the thicket back theh."
"And now said Habersham,
what we've got to do is to make a
run for it and land him across the
border. and stick him into a North
Carolina Jail, where he rightfully be-
longs. The question is, can we do it all
In one night, or had we better lock
him up somewhere on this side the
line and take another night for it?
The sheriff over there in Kildare. is
Appleweight's cousin, but We'll lock
him up with Bill, to make a family
party of it."
Wed better not try too much to-
aight," counseled Griswold Its a
pig thing to have the man himself. If
1t were not for the matter of putting
Governor Dangerfield in hole, I'd ia

tumbia, just for the moral effect of it
On the people of South Carolina We'd
make big killing for the administra-
lion that way, Habersham''
Eyes, you'd make killing all right
but you'd have Bill Appleweight on
.7our hands, which Governor Osborne
has not until lately been anxious for"
replied Habersham, in low tone that
was heard by no one but his old pre-
septor.
You'd better get over the idea that
we're afraid of this outlaw" rejoined
Iriswold "The governor of North

his strange fate. He had not answered
Jerrys question and had no intention
of doing so. The sudden attack at the
church had aroused all his cunning.

heretofore played along the border.
He did not make it out; nor was he
wholly satisfied with the girls explain
alton of her own presence in that out
ofthe-way place. She might be guest
at Ardsley, as she pretended, but wom-

rections as they crossed other paths
in the forest, and they now reached
the main trunk road of the estate. The
red bungalow, Jerry knew, was not
far away. Her prisoner spoke again.

Collins flashed out upon Jerry and her
captive, amid wild panic of horses.
Appleweight twisted and turned in
his saddle but Jerry instantly held up
her hand and arrested the inquiries of
her deliverers.

and Jerry, to give the proper touch to
her explanation, twitched the strap by
which she held her prisoners horse
so that it danced, adding fresh alb
surdity to the webbing figure Of its
bound rider.
"You are safe!" cried Ardmore in q
low tone, to which Jerry nodded care
lessly, in way that directed atten
ton to the more immediate business
at hand. He was not at once sure OF
his cue, but there seemed to be some
thing familiar in the outlines of the
man on horseback, and full identified

founding vividness.

liquor. Allison had the workmen un
der observation and finally decided
that the man was SO drunk he must
be discharged. He consequently had
the workman hoisted out OF the hold
and deposited on the wharf. Here
Allison's legal responsibility ended.
II was not his business to see wheth-
er the man went home or turned in
to sleep on the dock.
After a little. one of the men on
the wharf happened to remark that
he thought the "drunk" had gone

stopping to make any further query
than where the native probably went
over, dived into the harbor. He wal
under water for what seemed several
minutes and came up unsuccessful.
Down he went again. This time he
followed a current that carried him
far under the wharf. The men say
he was under water for four minutes.
At all events he had the drunken
