CHAPTER xxx.
The Raft Auain.

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 it's black bulk receded from
before his eyes the Earl of Lambeth
spoke with the voice OF authority and
experience.

shock of red hair was bris.ling like
the name of some angry animal and
his eyes still flashed with the light OF
battle, but he maAaged 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
tiOns.
Polly smiled and dimpled at the
kentuckian Trained to i romantic
point of view she had frank liking
for handsome, stalwart men. Caven-
dish was neither, but none knew bet

lacking in appearance he was richest
In substance. He carried scars hon

had been prone to cultivate With less
generous natures; for his scheme OF
lif did not embrace the millepnium.

you did" said Darlington.

which here met above his head, Car
rington caught sight of the star
specked arch of the heavens beyond.
They were issuing from the bayou.
He felt the river snatch at the keel
boat, the huffeting of some swift eddy.
and saw the blunt bow swing off to
the south as they were plunged into
the black shore shadows.
But what he did not see was a big
muscular hand which had thrust itself
out of the impcnctrable gloom and
clutched the side Of the keel b at. Co.

feet babel of voices, high-pitched and
shrill.

"No-unless it interferes with vor~

we'll all go back. Can | count on
you?"
You shorely can. | consider this
here as sociable a neighborhood as /
ever struck. 1t pleases me well.
Folks are up and doing hereabout."
Darlington looked eagerly around in
search of Betty. She was sitting on
an upturned tub, pathetic enough
fgure 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.

Fever's ear. IF that pore young thing

"Bruce!" cried Betty, starting up as
Carrington 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
on her tired face and in her heavy
eyes. She retained a shuddering con-

This much was clear to the Ken
tuckian: food had been taken to some
one In the shed-to Betty and the
boyi-more likely to George.
He waited now for the night to
come. and to him the sun seemed
Axed IN the heavens. At Belle Plain
Tom Ware was watching 1t with u
shuddering sense of the swiftness OF
~ flight. But at last the tops Of the
tall trees obscured It; II sank quickly
then and blazed ball of fire beyond
the Arkansas coast. while it's dying
glory spread aslant the heavens, turn
ing the tanks Of the gray clouds to
violet and purple and gold.
With the first approach OF darkness
Darlington made his way to the shed.
Hidden In the shadow he paused to
listen. and fancied he heard difficult
breathing from within. The door
creaked hideously on Its wooden
hinges when he pushed II open. but as
Il swung back the last remnant OF
the days light showed him some dark
object lying prone on the dirt floor.
He reached down and his hand rested
on q mans booted foot.
George" Darlington spoke softly,
but the man on the floor gave no sign
that he heard. and Csrrington's ques-
uoning touch stealing higher he found
That George-if II were George-was

an interval of waiting heard the
splash of oars and presently saw a
skiff steal out of the gloom.

lsked the question.
Harrington" he answered.
Lucky you amt met the other
man." she said as she swept her skir
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
Ills hail, and he called again as he
sent the skiff forward. He felt that
he was risking all now.
What do you want?" asked a surly
voice.
You want Slosson!" quickly
prompted the girl in a whisper.
II want to see Slosson!" said Car
ringtOn glibly and with confidence.
and once more he checked the skiff.

"Murrell sent you," prompted the
girl again, in hurried whisper.

silences that had followed them. She
turned from him, and there came the
relief Of tears.

II was wild with fear-all that time

glanced out into the black void where
the keel boat had merged into the
gloom.
mo, no-but We can't get the raft
back upstream against the current,
so the best thing is to land at the
Bates plantation below here; then as
soon as you are able we can return to
Belle Plain" said Darlington.
There was an interval broken only
by the occasional sweep of the great
steering oar as Cavendish coaxed the
raft out toward the channel. The
thought Of Charley Norton's murder
rested on Darlington like a pail.
Scarcely week had elapsed since he
quilted Thicket Point, and in that
week the hand of death had dealt
with them impartially, and to what
end? Then the miles he had traversed
In his hopeless journey up-river trans
lated themselves into a division of
time as we'll as space. They were
just as much further removed from
the past with its blight OF tragic ter
ror. He turned and glanced at Betty.
He saw that her eyes held their steady
look of wistful pity that was for the
dead man; yet In spite Of this, and in
slete of the bounds beyond which he
would not let his Imagination carry
him, the future, enriched with sudden
promise, unfolded itself. The deep
sense of recovered hope stirred with
III him. He knew there must come
day when he would dare to speak or
his love, and she would listen.
Its best We should land at Bates
place-we can get teams there" he
went on TO explain. And, Betty,
wherever We go We'll 60 together,

finitely tender. dwelt on her upturned
face.
But Betty shrank from him in In
voluntary agitation.
"Oh, not now, Bruce-not now-we

ously under her breath.
Row closter!" came the sullen
command, and the Kentuckian did as
he was bidden. 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 q mo-
ment's silence broken by Darlington,
who asked:
Which one OF you Is Slosson?" ?"
And he sprang lightly aboard the keel
boat.
I'm Slosson," answered the man
with the lantern. The previous night

Still shaking his head and mutter.
