that might come to him from the
white faced man at his side. Each
| passing moment Of silence added to
his desperation. He squeezed the
sheriff's hand in his arm. but there
was no responding signal; in patch
of thick gloom that almost concealed
the figures ahead he pressed near to
him and lowered his head again
and Jeekum pushed him back fiercely,
| with low curse.
They emerged from the forest and
the clear starlight shone down, upon
them. A little distance off lay the
lake in shimmering stiffness. Nathan
iel looked boldly at the sheriff now,
and as his glance passed beyond him
he was amazed at the change that had
come over Neil The young mans
head was bowed heavily upon his
breast, his shoulders were hunched
forward, and he walked with list
less, uneven step. Was it possible
that his magnificent courage mad at
last given way?
A hundred steps farther they came
to the beach and Nathaniel saw a
boat at The waters edge with a single
figure guarding it. Straight to this
Jeekum led his prisoners. For the
first time he spoke to them aloud.
"One In front, the other in back" he
said.
For an instant Nathaniel found him
self close beside Neil and he prodded
him sharply with his knee. His COM
panion did not lift his head. He made
no sign, gave no last flashing COM
radeship with his eyes, but climbed
into the bow of the boat and sat down
with his chin still on his chest, like a
man lost in stupor.
Nathaniel followed him, scarcely be-
lieving his eyes, and sat himself in
the stern, leaning comfortably against
the knees of the man who took the

tiller. He felt curious thrill pass
through him when he discovered mo-
ment later that this man was Jeekum.
Two men seized the oars amidships.
A fourth, with his rife across his
knees, sat facing Neil.
For the first time Nathaniel found
himself wondering what this voyage
meant. Were they to be rowed far
down the shore to some secret fast
ness where no other ears would hear
the sound of the avenging rifles, and
where, a few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke of the oars
added to the remoteness of this pos
sibility. The boat was heading
straight out to sea- Perhaps they were
to meet less terrible death by drown
ing, an end which, though altogether
unpleasant, held something comforting
in 1t for Captain Plum Two hours
passed without pause in the steady
labor OF the men at the oars In those
hours not word was spoken. The
two men amidships held no commune
cation. The guard In the bow moved
q little now and then only to relieve
his cramped limbs. Neil was abso-
lutely motionless, as though he had
ceased to breathe. Jeekum uttered
not whisper.
It was his whisper that Nathaniel
waited for. the signaling clutch of his
fingers. the sound Of his breath close
to his ears. Again and again he
pressed himself against the sheriff.

The principal changes have been in

for the grade students. Such features

moved up a grade to allow the lower
grades to get along with less of the
