comfort to me. I find I got all the
instincts of father without having
had none of the instincts of a hus-

A richer, deeper realization of his
joy came to Yancy when he had
turned his back on Balaam's Cross
Roads and set out for home through
the fragrant silence of the pine woods
Just beyond the Barony, which was
midway between Balaam's and the
Hill, down the long stretch OF sandy
road he saw two mounted figures,
then as. they drew nearer he caught
the tutter of skirts and recognized
one of the horsewomen. 1t was Mrs.
Ferris. wife of the Baronys new own
er. She refined in her horse abreast
of his cart.
Aren't you Mr.. Yancy?" she asked.
Il am Mrs. Ferris, and | am very
pleased to make your acquaintance"
THE same here" murmured Yancy
with winning civility
Mrs. Ferris companion leaned for
ward, her face averted, and stroked
her horses neck with gloved hand.
This is my friend, Miss Betty NAL

Glad to know you, maam," said
Yancy.
Miss Malroy faced him, smiling.
She was quite radiant with youth and
beauty

''And the dear little boy we met is

whole. She read certain chapters |
from the Bible, finishing with the
story of David, narrative that made |
a deep impression upon Yancy, com.
fortably seated in the doorway.
'You will all be here next Sunday. I
won't you?-and at the same hour?"
she said, rising.
There was sudden clatter of
hoofs beyond the door. A man, well
dressed and well mounted had rid
den into the yard. AS Mrs. Ferris
came from the cabin he flung him

II you are friendly" said Yancy.
I'm a-going to trust you, Bob" said
Balaam. And forsaking the shelter
Of the sweetgum he shufiled up the
slope.
How are you, Chariey?" asked
Yancy, as they shook hands.
Only just tolerable, Bob. You've
been warranted-Dave Blount swore

OF paper covered with much writing
and decorated with large seal.
Read it," he said mildly. Balaam
scratched his head
Il don't know that hits my duty to
do that, Bob. Hits my duty to serve
it on to you"
AT this juncture Uncle Sammy's

led off through the woods in the di-
rection Of the Bellamy cabin. With

CHAPTER II.

Captain MurrelI Asks Questions.
In the deep peace that rested like
a benediction on the pine-clad slopes
of Scratch Hill the boy Hannibal fol.
lowed at Yancy's heels as that gen.
tleman pursued the not arduous
rounds of temperate industry which
made up his daily life, for if Yancy
were not completely idle he was re
sponsible for a counterfeit present
ment of idleness having most of the
merits of the real article.
The Barony had been offered for
sale and bought in by Crenshaw for
eleven thousand dollars, this being
the amount of his claim. Some six
months later he sold the plantation
for fifteen thousand dollars to Ma.
thaniel Ferris, of Currituck county.
There's money in the old place,
Bob, at that figure" Crenshaw told
Yancy.
"Bladen's got an answer from them
South Carolina Quintards. and they
don't know nothing about the boy"

"Good-by, little boy; you must ask

The immediate result OF this con-
cersation was that within twenty-four
hours a man driving two horses
hitched to light buggy arrived at
Scratch Hill in quest of Bob Yancy,
whom he found at dinner and to
whom he delivered letter. Mr.
Yancy was profoundly impressed by
the attention, for holding the letter
at arms length, he said:

ter, for he himself had heard from
Bladen that he had decided to as.
sumo the care of the boy.
Il reckon Bladen will have the law
on his side, Bob!"
''The law be damned--I got what's
fair on mine. don't wish TO- better
than that" exclaimed Yancy, over his
shoulder. He strobe from the store
and started down the sandy road at a
brisk run. Miserable forebodings OF
an impending tragedy leaped up with
in him, and the miles were many
that lay between him and the Hill.
AS he breasted the slope he came
within sight of a little group in his
own dooryard. Saving only Uncle
Sammy Bellamy, the group resolved
itself into the women and children OF
the Hill, but there was one small
figure he missed. The patriarch hur-
ried toward him, leaning on his cane.
They've took your nevvy, Bob!" he
cried, in a high, thin voice.
Who's took him?" asked Yancy
hoarsely.
"Hit were Dave Blount. Get your
gun, Bob, and go after him-kill the
miserable sneaking cuss!" cried Uncle
Sammy. by the Fayetteville Road,
Bob. not ten minutes ago-you can
cut him off at Ok Road forks!"
Yancy breathed sigh of relief. A
rifle was placed in Yancy's hands.
NThank you-all kindly" said Yancy,
and turning away he struck off
through the pine woods. A brisk walk
of twenty minutes brought him to the
Ok Road forks.
He had not long to wait, for pres
emily the buggy hove in sight. AS the
buggy came nearer he recognized his |
ancient enemy in the person of the |
man who sat at Hannibal's side, and |
stepping into the road seized the |
horses by their bits. At sight of him |
Hannibal shrieked his name in de- |
light.
Uncle Bob-Uncle Bob" he cried.
yes, it's Uncle Bob. You can light
down, Newly"
Lego them horses!" said Mr..
Blount.
Light down, Nevvy," said Yancy,
still pleasantly.
Hannibal instantly availed himself
of the invitation. At the same mo-
ment Blount struck at Yancy with his
whip, and his horses reared wildly,
the blow meant for them.
Seeing that the boy had reached the
ground in safety, Yancy relaxed his
hold on the team, which instantly
plunged forward. Then as the buggy
swept past him he made a grab at
Blount and dragged him out over the
wheels into the road, where he pro-
ceeded to fetch Mr. Blount a smack
IN the jaw. Then with final skilfuI
Kick he sent Mr.. Blount sprawling.
Don't let me catch you around these
iiggings again, Dave Blount, or ]

zine woods in triumph on his Uncle {

general ever said on the matter"
The old general was borne across
what had once been the west lawn to
his resting-place in the neglected acre
where the dead and gone OF his race
lay, and the record Of the family was
complete, as far as any man knew.
Then Crenshaw, assisted by Bob
Yancy, proceeded to secure the great
house against Intrusion.
They passed from room to room Sc.
curing doors and windows, and at
last stepped out upon the back porch.
"Hullo!" said Yancy, pointing.
There on a bench by the kitchen
door was Hannibal Wayne Hazard
asleep, with his old spotin' rifle
across his knees.
"Well, l declare to gooGness!" said
Crenshaw.

"If you'll take the boy, Bob, you
shan't lose by it,"
Yancy rested a big knotted hand |
on the boys shoulder.

reused with start and stared into
the strange bearded face that was
bent toward him. IT'S yo' Uncle

CHAPTER III.
Trouble at Scratch Hill.

Captain Murrell had established
himself at Balaam's Cross Roads. He
was supposed to be interested in the
purchase of a plantation, and in com.
pany with Crenshaw visited the nu'
merous tracts of land which the mer
chant owned; but though he professed
delight with the country, he was
plainly in no haste to become com
mitted to any one of the several prop
ostions Crenshaw was eager to sub
nit.
The Barony would have suited
me-" he told Bladen one day. They
had just returned from an excursion
into the country and were seated in
the lawyers Office.
You say your father was a friend
Of the old general's?" said Bladen.

at length slowly.

Il mean it's a pity he has no one
except Yancy to look after him" said
hurrell; but Bladen showed no in
terest and Murrell went on: HAS
fancy any legal claim on the boy?

merely left with Yancy because Cren-

GREAT NEED OF THE DAY"
The great need Of the day is
that man should be more manly
and woman more wOmanIy. 1t
is a great mistake to suppose
that man and woman are in ev-
erything equal. They are in
nothing equal except in origin
and in destiny. God made them
so that they should be compile
mentary to each other. Each
gives to the other what the other
has not. and it is the indissoluble
union of the two that goes to
make up the perfect being. To
suppose that man and woman
are in everything alike is to
show a pitiful lack of common
wit. Not even physically are
they alike If woman had to
strive for the prizes of life on
the same platform with man
she would inevitably in the strug-
gle go under should indeed
pity her when once her youth
was gone and her beauty fed.
AS the weaker vessel of the two
she would have to go to the wall.
Woman ought to be before man
something sacred. and some
thing he makes holy. and some
thing to make him stronger, and
be should defend her.-Father
Bernard Vaughan.
