this they came to the corn.field which
lay between the house and the high.
road. Following one of the shock
rows they hurried to the mouth of the
lane.
Hannibal, don't want to tell the
Judge why am leaving Belle Plain
about the woman, mean" said
Betty.
You reckon they'd kill her, don't
! you. Miss Betty, II they knew what
she'd done?" speculated the boy. 1t
occurred to him that an adequate ex.
planation OF their flight would require
preparation. since the Judge was at
all times singularly alive to the slight
est discrepancy Of statement. They
had issued from the corn-field and
went along the road toward Raleigh.
Suddenly Betty paused.
"Hark!" she whispered.
1T were nothing, Miss Betty" said
Hannibal reassuringly. and they hur-
rled forward again. In the utter still
ness through which they moved Betty
heard the beating OF her own heart,
and the soft and all but inaudible pat
ter OF the boys bare feet on the warm
dust Of the road. Vague forms that
resolved themselves into trees and
bushes seemed to creep toward them
out of the nights black uncertainty.
Once more Betty paused
1T were nothing, Miss Betty" said
Hannibal as before, ,and he returned
TO his consideration VI the judge. He
sensed something OF that intellectual
! nimbleness which his patrons physical
makeup IN nowise suggested, since
his face was mask that usually left
one In doubt as to just how much OF
what he heard succeeded in making
its impression on him; but the boy
knew that Slocum Prices blind side
was a shelterless exposure.
You don't think the carriage could
have passed us while we were cross
ing the corn-held?" said Betty.
mo, l reckon we couldn't a-missed
hearing It," answered Hannibal. He
had scarcely spoken when they
caught the rattle OF wheels and the
beat of hOofs. These sounds swept
nearer and nearer. and the darkness
disgorged the Belle Plain team and
carriage.
"George!" cried Betty, a world OF
relief in her tones.
Whoa. you!" and George reined in
his horses with jerk who's dar?"
he asked, bending forward on the box
as he sought to pierce the darkness
with his glance.
George"
"Oh, 1t you, Missy?"
"Yes. wish you to drive me into
Raleigh" said Betty. and she and Han.
nlbal entered the carriage.
"All right. Missy. Yo-all ready TO
me to go along out o. here?"
"Yes-drive fast. George!" urged
Betty.
ITS right dark fo' fas' driving,
Missy, with the road jes' Amin TO- to
bus yo' springs with chuckholes!"
He had turned his horses heads in
the direction of Raleigh while he was
speaking. ITS scandalOus black in

The carriage swung forward for per-
haps hundred years, then suddenly
the horses came 20 dead stop.
Go along on, dar." cried George.
and struck them with his whip. but
the horses only reared and plunged

Two men stepped to the side of the
carriage.
Show your light, Bunker" said the
same rough voice that had spoken be-
fore. Instantly a hooded lantern was
uncovered, and Hannibal uttered a cry
OF terror. He was looking into the
face OF Slosson, the tavern-keeper.

For answer Hannibal pointed mys.

ton he indicated. Betty saw a woman
advancing along the path toward
them. The look OF alarm slowly died
out Of his eyes.
II think It's the overseer's niece

toward the boat.
The girl came rapidly up the path,
which closely followed the irregular
line Of the shore In its windings
Once she was seen to stop and glance

forward again. Just at the boat the

We often hear of bargains in adjoin-
ing towns. We know some of our peo-
pie drive to Fort Morgan, lured there
by rumors of bargains. But people
foom here who have lived there tell US
that they can buy groceries as cheaply
in Raymer as in Morgan. A man told
us that he made two trips to Morgan.
He was man who knew prices and on
the first trip he purchased at a saving.
but on the next trip the advantage had
vanished and he did not buy. Few men
know values, outside Of few staples,
well enough to know when they are
getting bargains. Knowing this, mer-
chants frequently sell some staple, like
sugar, at bargain and make up the
loss on something else where prices are
not so well known or inferior quality is
not easily detected. We have yet to
be convinced that there is any saving
in chasing off to strange towns for bar
gains. That merchant is after your
patronage for the profit he can make,
and if your home merchant gets it, he
builds up his business which builds up
your town and enhances the value of
your property.
