where the black shadows cast by the
tavern hid him. At the same moment
two dark figures came from about a
corner of the building. He could just
distinguish that they carried some
heavy burden between them and that
they staggered as they moved.
They passed out of sight, and breath
less and palsied Hannibal crept about
q corner of the tavern. He must be
sure!
Presently he heard distant SOUND
"a splash-surely it was splash
A little later the men came up the
lane, to disappear in the direction OF
the tavern. Hannibal peered after
them. His very terrors, while they
wrenched and tortured him, gave him
a desperate kind of courage. AS the
gloom hid the two men, he started for
ward again. He reached the end OF
the cornfield, climbed fence, and en-
tered a deadening of timber. In the
long wet grass he found where the men
had dragged their burden. He reached
down and swept his hand to and fro

tie palm came away red and discol

There was the first pale premonitior

on the light grew, and the black

from the white mist that filled the
woods and which the dawn made Wis

to see that he was following the trail

/ the bank of the Elk river, white like
the woods with it's ghostly night
sweat
The dull beat of the child's heart
quickened as he gazed out on the
swift current that was hurrying on
with it's dreadful secret. Then the full
comprehension of his loss seemed to
loverwhelm him and he was utterly
desolate. Sobs shook him, and he
dropped on his knees, holding fast to
the stock of his rifle.
Uncle Bob-Uncle Bob, come back!
Can't you come back?" he walled mis-
erably. Presently he staggered to his
feet. AS he glanced about, he saw al
most at his feet dug-out, made from
a single poplar log. 1t was secured
to an overhanging branch by length
of wild grape vine. With one last
fearful look off across the deadening
lin the direction of the tavern, he crept
down to the waters edge and entered
the canoe. In moment he had it free
from it's flashing and the rude craft
was humping along the bank in spite
of his best efforts with the paddle.
Then a favorable current caught it
and swept it out toward the center of
the stream.
CHAPTER VIII.
On the River.
Betty stood under dripping UNI
brella in the midst of doWnpour.
Just arrived by the four-horse coach
that piled regularly between Washing
ton and Georgetown, she had found
the long board platform beside the
canal crowded with her fellow passen-
gers. Suddenly she became aware of
a tall, familiar figure moving through
the crowd 1t was Bruce Darlington.
At the same moment he saw her. and
with a casual air that quite deceived
her, approached.
you're leaving tonight?" he. asked.
"Yes-isn't it miserable the way it
rains? And why are they so SLOW
why don't they hurry with that boat?"
"It's in the last lock now" he ex.
planned. and gathering up Betty's hand
luggage, he helped her aboard.
BY the time they had reached Wheel
ing, Betty had quite parted with what
ever superficial prejudice she might
have had concerning river men. This
particular one was evidently very
nice river man, an exception to his
kind. He made choice Of the steamer
on which she should continue her jour
|ney, and thoughtfully chose The
Naiad-a slow boat.
&c! haven't thing to offer her-this
lis plain madness of mine!" he kept
telling himself, and then the express
sion of his face would become grim
and determined. No more of the river
for him-he'd get hold of some land
and 60 to raising cotton; that was the
way money was made.
Slow as The Naiad was, the days
passed much too swiftly for him. When
Memphis was reached their friendly
intercourse would come 70 All end.
There would be her brother, of whom
she had occasionally spoken-he would
be pretty certain to have the ideas Of
his class.
