CHAPTER vi. (continued.)

In the tavern the three men were
drinking -Murrell with the idea that
the more Yancy came under the in
huence of Slosson's corn whisky the
easier his speculation would be man
aged Mr.. Yancy on his part believed
that If Murrell went to bed reason
ably drunk he would sleep late and
give him the opportunity ne coveted,
to quit the tavern unobserved at
break Of day.

young boss. Mas'r Slosson he says |

Der" Hannibal said.
Eph secured a tin candlestick with
a haif-burnt candle in it and led the
way into the passage back of the bar
They mounted flight of stairs and
passed down a narrow hall. This
brought them to the back of the
door on his right.
This heah's yo' chamber" he
said, and preceding his companion in
70 the room, placed the candle on a
chair
The moon was rising and Hannibal
went to the open window and glanced
out. For a moment he considered the
night, not unaffected by its beauty,
then, turning from the window, he
moved his bundle and rifle to the
foot of the bed, where they would be
out of his way, kicked off his trousers,
blew out the candle and lay sdown.
Yancy had become more and more
convinced as the evening passed that
Murrell was bent on getting him
drunk, and suspicion mounted darkly
to his brain.
Have a drink with mel" cried Slos-
son. giving way to drunken laughter.
The captains dropped out, and l
low it's about time TO these here
festivities to come to an end. I'm
thinking some of going to bed my
Self" said Yancy. He kept his eyes
fixed on Murrell. He realized that ii
the latter could prevent it he was
not to leave the bar. He never shift
ed his glance from Murrells face.
Scowling now, the captains eyes
blazed back their challenge as he
thrust his right hand under his coat.
Fair play don't know who you
are, but know what you want!" said
Yancy, the light in his frank gray
eyes deepening. Murrell laughed and
took a forward step. At the same mo-
ment Slosson snatched up a heavy
rf no no
dealt Yancy a murderous blow. A
single startled cry escaped the
Scratch Hitler; he struck out wildly
as he lurched toward Murrell, who
drew his knife and drove it into his
shoulder. Yancy dropped heavily to
the floor
How long the boy slept he never
knew. but he awoke with a start and
confused sense of things. 1t was
evidently very late, probably long
after midnight-but where was his
Uncle Bob?
He sank back on his pillow intent
and listening. A chilling terror that
gripped him fast and would not let
him go, mounted to his brain.
Where was his Uncle Bob? Why
didn't he come to bed? Memories OF
idle tales of men foully dealt with in
these lonely taverns flashed through
his mind
He slid from the bed, and for
long moment stood cold and shaking,
his every sense on the alert. With
Infinite caution he got into his trous-
,ers and again paused to listen, since
he feared his least movement might
betray him. Next he secured his
pack, and was ready for flight.

Despite the fact that it has been
the custom for many years for the
mayor to issue proclamation prohi-
biting the discharge Of fireworks in
the business section, Mayor Jordan
yesterday stated emphatically that no
such proclamation would be circulat-
ed this year and judging from his
manner, the youngsters could tie fire
crackers to the coat tails of every
man on the force without any action
on his part.
While the mayor will receive the
laudatons of the small boy many
adults will censure his inactivity
against practice that results in
many personal injuries and financial
losses each year Firecrackers and
fireworks are more numerous now
than for several previous years and
have been the cause of a number of
near accidents.
While there is little cotton On the

Good Roads General in a
Two Day Trip of 2l9
Miles.

one Of the many enjoyable weekend trips
for the motorist is the circuit of Long
Island. This is charming tour of 219
miles, and can be so planned that the mo-
torist may divide the trip at Greenport,
which is 104 miles from the plaza of the
Greensboro Bridge. thus splitting the jour
ney into two almost equal parts. Road
conditions are fair to good, most of the
roads being good country dirt, with some
stretches Of macadam through the villages.
For the sake Of convenience the tour is
started at the Long Island end Of the
Greensboro Bridge, thus allowing the mo-
torrst TO follow the Blue Book odometer
readings.
Long Island City, from which the start Is
made. was first settled in 1888, near the
section now known as North Beach. Thence
the car runs through the attractive subur-
ban villages of Winfield and Corona and
enters Flushing where Jackson's Tide MIL
said TO be the oldest existing landmark on
the island Is situated. The house In which
the celebrated Quaker preacher George
Fox stayed when he was in this neighbor-
hood was built in 1861, and Is still In the
possession Of the family to which 1t be-
longed when Fox was there. In Roslyn
one may see Cedarmere. the home Of Will
lam Cullen Bryant whose grave, surmount-
ed by modest monument, is in the village
cemetery
Huntington and Centreport are summer
resorts Of great popularity, as are also
Commack and Shutdown. st. James Is
noted principally at the present time as the
summer home Of Mayor Gaynor The road
now leads through Stony Brook to East
Setauket and Port Jefferson.
The mileage at the latter town is BIS,
therefore the outward trip is trifie more
than half over. It il advisable TO plan the
luncheon stop so that either the Belle
Terrc or Ardencraig Inn may be visited
during the MONDAY stop. At either OF these
places the motorist will be served in way
that earns the term good accommoda-
tons"
From Port jefferson the route leads to
Southold. settled in 1913, by the Rev. Moses
Mather and a party Of Dissenters. who
were later Joined by A band of Huguenots.
John Youngs, ton OF the founder Of the
town. later became a famous statesman
and soldier. His house is still standing, as
is the house OF Benjamin L'Hommedieu.

From Southold tho route leads 10 Green

The night stop may be made at the Vienna
