CHAPTER VII.
On the River.

vi Ine 7tNeTs
Betty stood under a dripping UNI
brella in the midst of a downpour.
Just arrived by the four-horse coach
that piled regularly between Wash
ington and Georgetown, she had
found the long board platform beside
the canal crowded with her fellow
passengers. Suddenly she became
aware of a tall, familiar figure NOV.
ing through the crowd. 1t was Bruce
Darlington. At the same moment he
saw her, and with a casual air that
quite deceived her, approached.
You're leaving tonight?" he asked
"Yes-isn't it miserable the way il
rains? And why are they so SLOW
why don't they hurry with that boatY'
Its in the last lock now" ex-
planned Darlington, and gathering W
Betty's hand luggage, he helped her
aboard.
By the time they had reached
Wheeling, Betty had quite parted with
whatever superficial prejudice she
might have had concerning river-men.
This particular one was evidently
very nice river-man, an exception to
his kind. He made choice of the
steamer on which she should continue
her journey, and thoughtfully chose
The Mazda slow boat.
Il haven't a thing to offer her-this
is plain madness of minel" he kept
telling himself, and then the express

and determined. No more of the river
for him-hed get hold of some land
and go to raising cotton; that was the
way money was made.
Slow as The Naiad was, the days
passed much too swiftly for him.
When Memphis was reached their
friendly intercourse would come to an
end. There would be her brother, OF
whom she had occasionally spoken
he would be pretty certain to have
the ideas of his class.
The days, like any other days, dwin-
died. The end Of it all was close at
hand. Another twenty-four hours
and Darlington reflected there would
only be good-by to say.
I'VE will reach New Madrid to-
night" he told her. They were
watching the river, under a flood OF
yellow moonlight.
Darlington, with his back against a
stanchion, watched her Disconnected
ly.
You'll be mighty glad to have this
over with, Miss Malroy-" he said at
length, with comprehensive sweep
toward the river
"Yes-shan't your" and she opened
her eyes questioningly.
mo-" said Darlington with a short
laugh, drawing a chair near hers and
sitting down.
Betty, in surprise, gave him quick
look, and then as quickly glanced
away from what she encountered in
his eyes. AS she looked, suddenly
pale points of light appeared on a dis
tant headland.
'Is that New Madrid-Oh, is 1t, Mr..
Carrington?" she cried eagerly.
II reckon So" but he did not alter
his position,

his grave eyes TO hers.

you would Ike west Tennessee-they

smiled almost guilty..

Betty glanced toward the squire
and Mr.. Crenshsw. They were stand
ing near the bars that gave entrance
TO the lane. Murrel had left them
and was walking briskly down the
road toward Crenshaw's store, where
his horse was tied. She bent down
and gave Yancy her slim white hand.
''Good-by, Mr.. Yancy-lift Hannibal
so that can kiss him." Yancy swung

Belle Plain You are Toms friend"
Murren bit his lip, and then laughed
as his mind conjured up a picture OF
the cherished Tom. Suddenly he
reached out and rested his hand on
hers.
-Betty-if I might think" he be-
gan, but his tongue stumbled. His
love-making was usually OF a savage
sort, but some quality IN the girl held
him In check Betty drew away from
him. an angry color on her cheeks
and an angry light in her eyes. For
give me, Betty" murmured MurreII.
but his heart beat against his ribs,
and passion sent its surges through
him. Don't you know what I'm try
ing to tell your" he whispered. Betty
gathered up her reins. Not yet"
he cried. and again he rested a heavy
hand on hers.
Let me go-let me gol" cried Bet
ty Indignantly.
'No-not IT." He urged his horse
still nearer and gathered her close.
You've git to hear me. I've loved
you since the first moment 1 rested
my eyes on you-and. by God, you
shall love me in returni" He felt her
struggle to free herself from his
grasp with a sense Of savage triumph.
Bruce Darlington, on his way back
to Fayetteville from the Forks, came
about a turn in the road. Betty saw
q tall, handsome fellow in the first
flush of manhood; Darlington, an
angry girl struggling in a mans
grasp.
At sight of the newcomer, Murrell,
with an oath, released Betty. who,
striking her horse with the whip, gal
Hoped down the road toward the
Barony. AS she fed past Darlington
she bent low in her saddle.
Don't let him follow mel" she
gasped, and Darlington, striding for
ward. caught Murrelrs horse by the
bit.
Let go!" roared Murrell, and a
murderous light shot from his eyes.
Il don't know but I should pull you
out Of that saddle and twist your
neck" said Darlington hotly. Muir
relPs face underwent a swift change.
You're a bold fellow to force your
way into a lovers quarrel" he said
quietly. Carrington's arm dropped at
his side. Perhaps, after all, it was
that.

"Ho-a small child" cried the
judge, laughing. He cooked his head
on one side and surveyed Hannibal
Wayne Hazard with a glance OF COM
ic seriousness. I'm Gods name what
do you call yourself now?"
I'm most ten," said Hannibal, with
dignity.
Il can well believe it," responded
the judge. Where did you come

From across the mountains"
And where are you going?"
ITO west Tennessee"
Have you any friends there?"
yes, sir"
You've money enough to see you

ed for a smile of fatherIy affection
became a leer of infinite cunning.
Il got ten dollars"
"Ten dollars" the judge smacked
his lips once. "Ten dollars" he re-
peated, and smacked his lips twice.
The purple flush on the judges
face, where the dignity that belonged
to age had gone down in wreck, deep
ened.
He quilted his chair and, Iurching
somewhat as he did so, began to pace
the floor.
Take me for your example, boyI
You may be poor, you may possibly

but through it all you will remain

Perhaps you'll contend that the old

said this.

presently" He was so profoundly
moved by the thought that he could
not go on. His voice broke, and he
buried his face in his arms. A SYM
pathetic moisture had gathered in the
child's eyes. He slipped from his
chair and stole to the judges side.
I'm mighty sorry you're going to
die"

judge, looking wonderfully cheerful,
despite his recent bitterness OF spirit.
