CHAPTER XXX.
The Bubble Bursts.

AT about the same hour that the
Judge was hurting threats and insults
at Colonel Fentress, three men were
waiting ten miles away at the head or
the bayou which served to isolate
Hicks cabin. Now no one of these
three had ever heard OF Judge Slo-
cum Price: the breath OF his fame
had never blown, however gently, In
their direction, yet they were prepar-
ing to thrust opportunity upon him.
To this end they were lounging about
the opening in the woods where the
horses belonging TO Ware and Muir
rell were tied.
At length the dip OF oars became
audible in the silence and one or

the horses and were untying them
when the thicket suddenly disgorged
the three men, each held a cooked
pistol; two OF these pistols covered
Murrell and the third was leveled at
Ware.
"Hues!" cried Murrell in astonish-
ment, for the man confronting him
was the Clans messenger who should
have been speeding across the state.
Toss up your hands, Murrell," said
Hues quietly.
