seriousness of the unchecked savagery
of those last moments on the keel
boat; she was still hearing the oaths
of the men as they struggled together,
the sound of blows, and the dreadful
silences that had followed them. She
turned from him, and there came the
relief of tears.
There, Betty, the danger is over
now and you were so brave while it

CHAPTER xxx.
The Raft AGAIN.

Yancy and Cavendish threw them
selves on the sweeps and worked the
raft clear of the keel boat, then the
turbulent current seized the smaller
craft and whirled it away into the
night; as its black bulk receded from
before his eyes the Earl of Lambeth
spoke with the voice of authority and
experience.
1T was a good fight and them fell
lows done well, but not near well
enough" A conclusion that could
not be gainsaid. He added, No one
amt hurt but them that had ought to
have got hurt. Mr.. Yancy's all right,
and SOS Mr.. Carrington-who's
mighty welcome here" The earl's
shock of red hair was bristling like
the name of some angry animal and
his eyes still flashed with the light of
battle, but he managed to summon up
an expression of winning friendliness.
"Mr. Carrington's kin to me. Pol
ly," explained Yancy to Mrs. Caven-
dish. His voice was far from steady.
for Hannibal had been gathered into
his arms and had all but wrecked the
stole calm with which the Scratch
Hitler was seeking to guard his emo
tons.
Polly smiled and dimpled at the
Kentuckian. Trained to a romantic
point of view she had frank liking
for handsome, stalwart men. Caven-
dish was neither, but none knew bet
ter than Polly that where he was most
lacking in appearance he was richest
in substance. He carried scars hon.
orably earned in those differences he
had been prone to cultivate with less
generous natures; for his scheme of
lif did not embrace the millennium.

ished sentence. The girl laughed nerv
ously under her breath.
Row closter!" came the sullen
command, and the Kentuckian did as
he was hidden. Four men stood in
the bow of the keel boat, a lantern
was raised aloft and by its light they
looked him over. There was a mo-
ment's silence broken by Darlington
who asked:
Which one of you is Slosson? p"
And he sprang lightly aboard the keel
boat.
I'm Slosscn," answered the man
with the lantern. The previous night
Mr.. Slosson had been somewhat I'M,

1luence of corn whisky, but now he

er jaded by the passing of the hours
which he had sacrificed to an irk
some responsibility. What word do
you fetch from the captain, brother?"
he demanded.
Miss Malroy is to be taken down
river" responded Darlington.
Slosson swore with surprising flu
ency.
SAY, we're five able-bodied men
risking our necks to oblige him! You
can get married a damn sight easier
than this if you go about it right-I've

'''But if you say the word"
I'm all for getting shut of this!"
answered Darlington promptly, with
"a sweep of his arm. Il call these
pretty close quarters!"
Still shaking his head and mutter
ing, the tavern-keeper sprang ashore
and mounted the bank, where his
islouching figure quickly lost itself in
hhe night.

the fat roof of the cabin which filled
the stern of the boat. H was remem-

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Keel Boar,

A few minutes later they had sepa-
rated, George to hurry away in search
of the horse, and Darlington to pass
hack along the shore until he gained
a point opposite the clearing. He
whistled shrilly three times, and after
an interval of waiting heard the
splash of oars and presently saw a
Gkiff steal out of the gloom.
who's there?" 1t was Bess who
asked the question.
Darlington" he answered.
Lucky you amt met the other
mani" she said as she swept her skiif
alongside the bank.
Lucky for him, you mean. I'll take
the oars" added Darlington, as he
entered the skiff
Slowly the clearing lifted out of the
darkness, then the keel boat became
distinguishable; and Darlington
checked the skiff by a backward
stroke Of the oars.
'HellO!" he called.
There was no immediate answer to
his hail. and he called again as he
sent the skiff forward. He felt that
he was risking all now.
What do you want?" asked surly
voice.
you want SIosson!" quickly
prompted the girl in a whisper.
Il want to see SIosson!" said Car
rington glibIy and with confidence,
and once more he checked the skitf.

"MurrelI sent you," prompted the
girl again, in a hurried whisper.
'Murrell-" And in his astonish-
ment Darlington spoke aloud.
''Murrell?" cried the voice sharply.

Preached While He Slept.

Very curious was the case of Sim
con Watson, a Woodworking, indus
trious Englishman, aged about 80, of
athletic habits and active tempera-
ment who, about 1926, began preach
ing in his sleep His trance or Sleep
ing fit invariably lasted as long as the
ordinary nonconformist service, which
ne was in the habit of attending. The
attacks became more frequent as time
went on, and he would go through the
whole of the ordinary chapel service,
praying, reading the bible and preach
ing.

We'll all go back. Can | count on

"You shorely can. I consider this
here as sociable a neighboEhood as |
ever struck. It pleases me we'll.
Folks are up and doing hereabout."
Darlington looked eagerly around in
search of Betty. She was sitting on
an upturned tub, a pathetic enough
figure as she dropped against the wall
of one of the shanties with all her
courage quite gone from her. He
made his way quickly to her side.
La" whispered Polly in Chills and
Fever's ear. ''If that pore young thing
yonder keeps a widow it won't be be-
cause of any encouragement she gets
from Mr.. Darlington. If | ever seen

Bruce" cried Betty, starting up as
Darlington approached. "Oh, Bruce,
am so glad you have come-you are
not hurt?" She accepted his presence
without question. She had needed
him and he had not failed her.
I'VE are none of us hurt, Betty" he
said gently, as he took her hand.
He saw that the suffering she had
undergone during the preceding
twenty-four hours had left its record

As high as twenty-five applications

Secretary's office in one day. 1t is
expected that hundreds of farmers
will visit the Fair for the express
purpose OF examining the showing on
machinery row for the educational
value it will have to him along the
line of modern progress in handling
the agricultural business of today.
The leading tractor engines will
give daily demonstrations of up-to-
date blowing. The Fair Board has
set aside large tract of land, ad-
joining the grounds for this purpose,
and Fair visitors will be given pass
out checks to witness the great plow-
ing contests. This unusual feature is
one that cannot be seen at most
great Fairs and it is safe to predict
it will prove star attraction at HUI
ron this year.
