Betty had placed the candle On tIie
stool and seated herself on one Of the
beds. There was the murmur or
voices in the room below; abe won
dered II her fate was under considera-
ton and what that fate was TO be.
Hannibal, who had been examining
the window, returned to her side.
Miss Betty, II we could Just get
out Of this loft We could steal their
skin and row down to the river; 4
reckon they got Just the one boat;
the only way they could get to US
would be 10 swim out, and II they

Of his failed to interest Betty.
Presently they heard Sherod and
Bunker come up from the shore with
George. Slosson joined them and
there was a brief discussion, then an
interval Of silence, and the sound OF
voices again as the three white men
moved back across the field In the,
direction Of the bayou. There sue
ceeded a period OF utter stiffness,
both In the cabin and In the clear
ing, a somber hush that plunged Bet
~ yet deeper in despair. Wild
thoughts asBailed her, thoughts against
which she struggled with all the
strength Of her Will.
In that hour OF stress Hannibal was
sustained by his faith IN the Judge.
lie saw his patrons powerful and
picturesque intelligence applied to
solving tho mystery of thyir disap-
pearance from Belle Plain; It was in
conceivable that this could prove
otherwise than disastrous to Mr.. Slos-
son, and he endeavored to share the
confidence he was feeling with Betty,
but there was something 30 forced
and unnatural In the girls voice and
manner when she discussed his con-
lectures that he quickly fell into an
awed silence. At last, and 1t must
have been some time after midnight,
troubled slumbers claimed him. No

asked.
VERY soon now, DEAR" Hannibal
was greatly consoled by this opinion.
"Aiiss Betty. he win love TO md

."Earki What was that2" for Betty
had caught the distant splash OF cars.
Hannibal found a chink IN the logs
through which by dint OF much squirt.
ing he secured partial view OF the
bayou.
They're fetching up o keel boat 70
the shore, Miss Betty--it's whoop-
erI" he announced, Betty's heart
sank; she never doubted the purpose
for which that boat was brought into
the bayou. or that II nearly concerned
herself.
Half an hour later Mira. Hicks ap-
peared with their breakfast. It was
In vain that Betty attempted to en-.
gage her In conversation. Either she
cherished some personal feeling OF
dislike Tor her prisoner, or else the
situation in which abe herself was
placed had little to recommend It,
even to her dull mind, and her dis
satisfaction was expressed ia her at
titude toward the girl. "a 4
Betty passed the ap1 aEa OF
morning In dreary son con-
corning what vas hat at Belle
Plain. In the end ahs Realised that
the day could go by and aK psence

Ing ia MprAlIng; perhaps when the
boy did mot arrive he would be tempt

cover the sreason Nof his non-apppar-
ance. She wondered what theories
would offer themselves TO his In

which In the face OF rebuffs and
laughter carried him into the thick OF

whom a dIl whistle pierced the ST.
lence that hung above the clearing.
It was twice repeated, and the two
women were heard to so from the
cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed,
then a step became audible on the
packed earth of the dooryard. Some
one entered theeroom below and be-
gan to ASCEND the narrow stairs, and
Betty's fingers closed convulsively
about Hannibal's. This was neither
