Jerry and Ardmore sat at long
table in the commodious Ardsley H.

Gothic chapel. A large accumulation
of mail from the governors Office at
Raleigh had been forwarded, and Jer.,
~ insisted that It must be opened and

Collins" observed Ardmore, putting
down a clipping from a New York
paper in which the reports Of Gov.
Dangerfeld's disappearance were ana
lyzed and tersely dismissed; "for he
knows how to write and he's done
a splendid picture of your father ON
his throne attending to business; and
his little stingers for Osborne are the
work of a genius"

He saw that she was really curious,
and 1t was not in his heart to refuse
her. so they followed the bridle-path
through the cool forest. and came in
due course to the clearing where Jer-
ry had first confessed herself lost,
and thereafter had suffered the cap
tured outlaw to point her the way
home.
"The timber has been cut here

the bridle.paths very we'll. They all

which has been the most used aud

The path he chose had really been
beaten into better condition than
either of the others, and they rode
side by side now. A deer feeding on
grassy slope raised its head and
stared at them, and fox scampered
wildly before them. 1t seemed that
they were shut in from all the world,
these two, who but few days before
had never seen each other, and it was
relief to him to find that she threw
off her troubles and became more ami
mated and cheerful than he had yet
seen her.

sooner than Griswold had expected,
and he checked his horse abruptly, re-
