confidence he was feeling with Betty.
but there was something so forced
and unnatural in the girls voice and
manner when she discussed his con-
lectures that he quickly fell into an
awed silence. At last, and 1t must
have been some" time after midnight,
troubled slumbers claimed him. No
moment OF forgetfulness came to Bet
ty. She was waiting for what-she
did not know! The candle burnt low
er and lower and finally went out and
she was left in darkness, but again
she was conscious OF sounds from the
room below. At first it was only a
word or a sentence, then the guarded
speech became a steady monotone
that ran deep into the night. Even
tually this ceased and Betty fancied
she heard sobs.

CHAPTER Xxx.
MurreIl Shows His Hand


At length points OF light began TO
nibal reused and sat up, rubbing his
eyes with the backs of his hands.
Wasn't you able to sleep none?" he
inquired. Betty shook her head. lie
looked at her with an expression or
troubled concern. How soon do you
reckon the judge will known" he
asked.
Very soon now, dear" Hannibal
was greatly consoled by this opinion.
Miss Betty, he will love to find
US"
"Hark! What was that?" for Betty
had caught the distant splash OF oars.
Hannibal found chink in the logs
through which by dint OF much squint-
ing he secured a partial view OF the
bayou.
They're fetching up keel boat TO
the shore, Miss Betty-it's a whoop-
err" he announced. Bettys heart
sank: she never doubted the purpose
for which that boat was brought into
the bayou, or that 1t nearly concerned
herself.
Half an hour later Mrs. Hicks APP
peared with their breakfast. IL was
I'm vain that Betty attempted 10 en-.
gage her in conversation. Either she
cherished some personal feeling OF
dislike for her prisoner, or else the
situation in which she herself was
placed had little TO recommend Il.
even TO her dull mind. and her dis
satisfaction was expressed in her at
titude toward the girl.
Betty passed the long hours OF
morning in dreary speculation con-
cerning what was happening at Belle
Plain In the end she realized that
the day could go by and her absence
occasion no alarm. Steve might rea-
sonably suppose George had driven
her into Raleigh or TO the Bowens'
and that she had kept the carriage.
Finally all her hope centered on Judge
Price. lie would expect Hannibal dur
ing the morning: perhaps when the
Toy did not arrive he would be tempt

was pierced by low door. Mrs.
Hicks. who had followed close at
their heels, handed the candle to Bet
ty.
In yonder." she said briefly. nod
ding toward the door.
"Wait!" cried Betty in a whisper.
NO" said the woman with an al
most masculine surliness of tone Il
got nothing TO say" She pushed them
into the attic. and, closing the door,
fastened 1t with stout wooden bar.
Beyond that door, which seemed to
have closed on every hope, Betty held
the tallow dip aloft, and by It's uncer-
tain and fickering light surveyed her
prison The briefest glance sutiiced.
The room contained two shake-down
beds and a stool; there was a window
In the gable, but a piece OF heavy
plank was spiked before II.
Miss Betty, don't you be scared"
whispered Hannibal when the Judge
hears we're gone, him and Mr.. Ma
haffy will try 10 find us. They'll go
right off to Belle Plain-the Judge is
always wanting to do that, only Mr..
Mahaffy never lets hIm-but now he
won't be able TO stop him"
"Oh, Hannibal, Hannibal what can
he do there-what can any one do
there?" And a dead pallor over
spread the girls face. To speak OF
the blind cropping of her friends but
served to fix the horror OF their stu
alton in her mind.
II don't know, Miss Betty, but the
Judge is always thinking of things To
do; seems like they was mostly things
no one else would ever think Of"
Betty had placed the candle on the
beds. There was the murmur OF
voices I'm the room below; she won
dered if her fate was under considera-
tion and what that fate was to be.
Hannibal, who had been examining
the window, returned to her side.
Miss Betty, If We could Just get
out Of this loft we could steal their
skin and row down TO the river;
reckon they got just the one boat;
the only way they could get TO us
would be to swim out, and If they
done that we could pound 'em over
the head with the oars-the least lit
tie thing sinks you when you're I'm
the water" But this murderous fancy
OF his failed TO interest Betty.
Presently they heard Sherrod and
Bunker come up from the shore with
George. Slosson Joined them and
there was a brief discussion, then an
interval OF silence, and the sound or
voices again as the three white men
moved back across the field in the
direction OF the bayou. There sue
ceeded a period OF utter stiffness,
both in the cabin and in the clear
ing. somber hush that plunged Bet
ty yet deeper I'm despair. Wild
thoughts assailed her. thoughts against
which she struggled with all the
strength Of her will.
In that hour OF stress Hannibal was
sustained by his faith in the Judge.

pearance from Belle Plain; It was In

AS they stumbled forward through

And Slosson leered at her through the

Betty stepped into the skiff. She
felt her hopes Quicken-she was think

She would wish II now more than

leading spirit of the rebels and who
has sworn to dethrone the Manchus.
He was born In Honolulu about
1862. where his father was an agent
OF Christian mission. He was
brought up in missionary school and
Is himself a Christian. The Daily
Graphic Of last Saturday published
some interesting facts about his life
communicated by Mr.. Camille, the
well-known surgeon. who is an old
friend Of Sun Yat-sen. Mr.. Camille
describes Sun Yat-sen as ''the best ed
ucated, the most enlightened and the
broadest-minded man In China today.
, Learning rather than wealth gives Il
Chinese power over his countrymeis.
and Sun Yat-sen has been learning
In every civilized country In the world
for the last twenty years gradually
absorbing all that is best In Europe
and America" When he was being
educated as a doctor he came under
Mr.. Camille at the Hong Kong college.
He graduated in 1887 and took his d.
ploma In 1892. Mr.. Camille says that
his characteristic was an extreme
sim mplicity-" simplicity which has
grown with his years Of travel" Sun
Yat-sen practiced his profession In
Canton. but all the time he was read
ing deeply and brooding over the re-
generation of his country. He either
came into touch with the Young CHI
ma Movement at that period or him
self started the movement Mr.. Can't
lie says that there were sixteen lead
ers and that in three years the prop
aganda of the society had attracted
thousands of we'll educated Chinese.
In 1895 Sun Yat.sen launched the
we'll remembered plot to seize Can
ton. The intention was to bring about
la bloodless revolution, but the plans
were betrayed. and fifteen Of the
Young China Party were executed.
Sun Yat-sen alone escaped. He left
the country In disguise, and, admit
ting that the plot had been prema-
ture, came to England to study west
ern methods. A price Of $4,000 dol
lars was put This head by the Chi
nese government II was extraordi-
nary that he was able to move about
freely and without harm. Yet he had
a narrow escape. In October. 1890,
he was kidnapped by the Chinese le-
CATION in London. He was engaged
In conversation one day In Portland
Place by two Chinese, and by them he
was invited into the Chinese legation,
which he did not even know to be
the legation. II Mr.. Camille Is not
mistaken about this Sun Yat-sen's
simplicity was certainly intense. Once
inside the legation he was held a
prisoner. The intention was, of
course, to take him to China, where
he would have been executed. For a
fortnight he was kept there while
preparations were made to smuggle
him out Of the country. He gave a
note by stealth to servant, who con-
veyed 1t to Mr.. Camille. The latter
went at once to the foreign Office, and
Lord Salisbury, who was then for
eign secretary, behaved admirably.
He brushed aside the technical de-
fense Of extrs -territoriality set up by
the Chinese minister. He took the
common sense view that the British
government could not tolerate the
kidnapping of political offenders (fan-
cy ul-Hamid being allowed to
carry off his enemies In those daysD,
that an affront had been offered to
the British government and that Sun
Yat-sen must be released.

When You lndorse q cheok.-The
story is told of a woman who going in
to bank to identify an acquaintance
with check to cash, was asked to en-
dorse the check as a guarantee. The
check-holder told her that her signature
was merely formalty" and the bank
teller said nothing about the liability
she incurred. So she made the in
dorsement, and as the check turned
out not to be good, she afterward had
to make good besides. This event, we
hasten to say, did not occur in New
Bedford, and perhaps would not have
| occurred here had the attention OF
any bank teller in this city been call
ed to the fact that obviously the wo-
man did not understand the nature
Of the obligation she assumed. Pos
sibly instruction Of ignorant women
in the nature Of an Endorsement Is no
part of the technical duty Of the man
at the window; but we assume that
If the teller were gentleman he would
not suffer a woman to take the chance
Of loss through her ignorance.
Every woman-and man, for that
matter-ought to understand the OBJ
legation taken by an Endorsement of
a check. No doubt 1t seemed ungra.
cious to the woman Of the story to
decline to write her name as a mere
formality Nevertheless, she should
have declined, and in point Of fact,
she never should have been asked. Un.
less a person Is ready to make good
to the amount Of a check. he should
never put his name on the back-and
he certainly Is justified in refusing to
do so when he has no interest Of his
own In the transaction. Banks often,
we do not know but always, ask an
identifier Of check-holder to act as
an indorser, and thus to take the risk
they do not care to take themselves.
That should be clearly understood by
everybody, or they may learn the cost
ly and disagreeable lesson that was
learned by the woman.-New Bedford
Standard.
