gomez He leaned forward and whis-
pered something in the ccloners ear.
The soldier nodded approvingly and
threw away the secret:
'Mr. O'BannOn promises to be re-
spOnsible for you, Mr.. Laurence. Do
you think you can take care of the
business? 1t asks nothing more than
ordinary shrewdness in trading"
But" David cried, overwhelmed,
you know nothing about me, Major
PoSey! Why-why-hOw can you
trust stranger with such a respon-
sibility?"
"Oh, as for that" the major an
swered, "you will be watched like a
hawk by Mr.. O'Bannon. For the mat
ter of that, Mr.. Laurence, / think I'm
fair judge Of men, myself; and I'll
echo Mr.. O'Bannon's opinion of you,
at first glance. No need to blush-we
say what we think, hereabOuts."
David could only stammer his graft
tude.
VERY well, then, I'll give Mr.. O'Ban-
non the key at once" He drew out an
enormous affair of iron and handed 1t
smilingly TO Davids sponsor.
And now for a Hoosier dinner"
said OBannon, and he produced a
Spanish dollar, which the tavern
keeper took with a nod. He waved
David 10 the long table. The rude
dishes were heaped with roast chicken
and wild duck. There were baked
buffalo fish and cornbread, and there
were pitchers of milk. At O'Bannon's
word a bottle of Madeira was added.
When David had finished he rose to
take his departure with O'BannOn.
Colonel Posey walked with them to the
door and laid his hand upon Mr..
O'Bannon's shoulder.
"And now, Mr.. O'Bannon," he said
afrcctionately, II must tell you goodby,

We? Goodby and God bless you, my

was still framed in the cool shadow
Of the doorway. He waved a courtly
hand-they waved gayly in return.
Little old Mr.. O'Bannon hoped smil-
ingly to where the horses were teth-
cred, not seeming TO notice that Toi-
nette had fallen a step behind and was
walking at David's side.
OBannon and Toinette mounted
their horses, David lending a rather
clumsy hand to the girls assistance,
He had always been afraid of girls
even ordinary ones, and Toinette
O'Bannon, as a glance told, was not
ordinary. David knew that there
were men who would do small services
for ladies with gallant grace, but, he
reflected bitterly, they were not men
who had been humble weavers, who
had hungered for bread, been ar
raigned for rioting and seen their ia.

And so they three went along the

that bore Toinette, full of a thousand
speculations as to the mysterious viii.

beamed on him with liking unmistak.

was quite sure he was not looking.

Mr. Harman urged that the order

made permanent. He declared that
the church had no right to sell the
cemetery property after it had been
conveyed to it for certain specified
purposes. and especially when GER

other person for place of sepulchre
only, unless the use to be made OF
