The next day Yancy had occasion
to visit Balaam's Cross Roads. Cren-
shaw gave him a disquieting opinion
as to the probable contents Of his let

Bladen that he had decided to as
sumo the care Of the boy.

AS he breasted the slope he came
within sight of q 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 caa
cut him on at OK Road forks!"
Yancy breathed a sigh of relief. A
rifle was placed IN Yancy's hands.
Thank you-all kindly" said Yancy,
and turning away he struck on
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

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-

hold on the team, which instantly
plunged forward. Then as the buggy
swept past him he made grab at
Blount and dragged him out over the
wheels into the road. where he pro.
