Gatewood had a friend who threw

the pair. 1t proved an expensive en-

he came to trust the damned scoun-

countenance was like stone, as express

meaningless to them held tragic
significance to these two men. The

Gatewood a trifie of thirty thousand

There was another silence.
"At later day l met this man who
had been betrayed by his wife and
robbed by his friend. He had fallen
out of the race-drink had done for
him-there was just one thing he
seemed to care about, and that was

CHAPTER XIV.
The RuhbIe 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 OF
the bayou which served to isolate
Hick.~' cabin. Now no one OF these
threS had ever heard of Judge Slocum
Price: the breath of his fame had
never blown, however gently, in their
direction, yet they were preparing to
thrust opportunity upon him. To this
end they were lounging about the
opening in the woods where the
horses belonging to Ware and Murrell
were tied
At length the dip of oars became
audible in the silence and one OF the
trio stole down the path, matter OF
fifty yards, to point that overlooked
thsz bayou. He was gone but a mo-

table, bringing his face close to Fen

"Fentress, / want the boy" he said
quietly.
What boy?"
