Speak quickly if you have anything

girl with scoWl. Her manner was
still fierce and repellant, and she gave
Betty a certain jealous regard out OF
her black eyes which the latter was
at a loss to explain. Where's Mr.

There was moment OF silence. The
girl looked about apprehensively. She
continued, fixing her black eyes on
Betty: You're here alone at Belle
Plain-you know what happened last
time-I reckon you-all amt forgot
that!"
Betty felt a pallor steal over her
face. She rested hand that shook
on the trunk of a tree to steady her
self. The girl laughed shortly.

BY great effort Betty gained a
measure of control over herself. She
took step nearer and looked the girl
steadily in the face
Perhaps you will stop this sort of
talk, and tell me what is going to hap
pen to me-if you know" she said
quietly.
"Why do you reckon Mr.. Norton

sucked in her breath sharply between

nothing to do with either liking or
sympathy. Her dominating emotion
seemed to be sullen sort of resent

dull fire; yet her feelings We're so
clearly and so keenly personal that
Betty understood the motive that had
brought her there. The explanation,
she found, left her wondering just
where and how her own fate was
linked with that of this poor white.

81 didn't want to be seen there"
"And yet you knew l was alone?"
"Alone-but how do you know who's
watching the place."
'Do you think there was reason to
be afraid of that?" asked Betty.
Again the girl stamped her foot with
angry Impotence.
You're just wastin' time-just
foolin' it away-and you amt got none
to spare!"
"You must tell me what l have to
fear-I must know more or l shall

away, and then as quickly turned back
and faced Betty once more. Il reckon

"Of whom are you speaking?"
Hell have you away from here to-

"He?-who-and what if | refuse

whether he wanted to live or die?"
came the sinister question.
A shiver passed through Betty. She
was seeing it all again-Charley as he
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1912-01-10
Didn't you hear something, Han
libal?" she whispered fearfully.

Didn't you hear something, Han
nibal?" she whispered fearfully.
For answer Hannibal pointed mys,
teriously, and glancing in the direc-
ton he indicated, Betty saw a wo-
man advancing along the path toward
them. The look of alarm slowly died
out of his eyes.
81 think it's the overseer's niece"
she told Hannibal, and they kept on
toward the boat.
The girl came rapidly up the path,
which closely followed the irregular
line OF the shore in it's windings. Once
she was seen to stop and glance back
over her shoulder, her attitude intent
and listening, then she hurried for
ward again. Just by the boat the three
met.
Good EVENING"" said Betty pleas
antly.
The girl made no reply to this; she
merely regarded Betty with a fixed
stare. At length she broke the silence
abruptly.
81 got something | want to say to
you-you know who | am, | reckon?"
She was girl of about Betty's own
age, with certain dark sullen beauty
and that physical attraction which
Tom, in spite of his vexed mood, had
taken note OF earlier in the day.

amt going to hurt you-you needn't
be afraid of me, l got something i'm
you; there amt no time to lose!" The
girl stamped her foot imratiently.
Betty made sign to Hannibal and
he passed slowly back along the path.
He went unwillingly, and he kept his
head turned that he might see what
was done, even if he were not to hear
what was said.
THAT will do, Hannibal-wait there
don't go any farther!" Betty called
after him when he reached point
sufficiently distant to be out of hear
ing of a conversation carried on in |
an ordinary tone. Now, what is it'll

CROPPED among the graves with the.
hand of death heavy upon him.
A moment later she was alone The
girl had disappeared. There were only
the shifting shadows as the wind
tossed the branches of the trees, and
the bands of golden light that slanted
along the empty path. The fear of
the unknown leaped up afresh in Bet
tvs soul; in an instant flying feet
had borne her to the boys side.
"Come-come quick, Hannibal" she
gasped out, and seized his hand.
What is it, Betty? What's the mat
ter?" asked Hannibal as they fed
painting up the terraces.
81 don't know-only we must get
away from here just as soon as we
cant" Then seeing the look of alarm
on the child's face, she added more
quietly. Don't be frightened, dear,
only we must go away from Belle
Plain at once" But where they were
to go, she had not considered.
Reaching the house, they stole to
Betty's room. Her well-filled purse
was the important thing; that, to-
gether with some necessary clothing,
went into small handbag
"You must carry this, Hannibal; if
anyone sees us leave the house they
will think it something you are TAX
ing away" she explained. Hannibal
nodded Understandings.
Don't you trust your niggers, Miss
Betty" he whispered as they went
from the room.
II only trust you, dear!"
What makes you go? Was it some
thing that woman told you? Are they
coming after us, Miss Betty? Is it
Captain Murrell?"
Captain Murrell?" There was less
of mystery now, but more of terror,
and her hand stole up to her heart,
and, white and slim, rested against
the black fabric of her dress.

and important discovery.

81 don't know about that. DO boats

"Why, you amt never been out row

there amt no better fun than rowing

path.
81 used to think that too, Hannibal;
how do you suppose it is that when
people grow up they forget all about
the orally nice things they might do?'
"What use is she if you don't 60

Hiss Betty?" demanded Hannibal
with palpitating anxiety.
They had entered the scattering
timber when Betty paused suddenly
with a startled exclamation, and Han
nibal felt her fingers close convulsive-
ly about his. The sound she had heard
might have been only the rustling of
the wind among the branches over
head in that shadowy silence, but
Betty's nerves, the placid nerves of
youth and perfect health, were shat
tered.
