 As the O'Bannons and their new friend entered Corydon, David caught sigh. of young man. tall as himself. striding away down one of the narrow village lanes. He stiffened like a dog that sees its foe.
 "who is that?" he asked sharply.
 "That?' Toinette smiled at the back of the retreating figure. That's young Doctor Elliott of Louisville. He comes here once a week on his sorrel msre."
 "Oh" exclaimed David, relieved. How absurd of him to suppose that in this remote spot he should meet the one human being he counted an en. emy!
 Toinette added no further word of comment on the young doctor; for al. though Elliott had been paying her court for weeks, she had not yet de cided just what she thought of him. MT. O'Bannon drew David into Spen. cer's tavern and spoke a word to the proprietor.
 'They will take care of you here | tonight" he said, land tomorrow I'll come over and help you open uI Colonel Posey's shop. And now, young man. I wish you good day and good luck.

 Toinette walked on the other side. David moved in happy dream. They reached the door of Conrod's tavern, east of the village-a square, low house of stone, two feet thick in the walls and with the most picturesque of small-paned windows, vine-cur- tained-Mr. OBannon accompanying his jerky progress with flow of elo- quence on the Advantages of Corydon, where, 1t seemed, he and his daughter had recently arrived from New Or leans.
 'sHurrah," he exclaimed as they en- tered the low doorway. Here's Colonel Posey; he'll find something for you to do, be sure."
 A gentleman with hand outstretched to David's companion came forward. "A good morning to you, Mfr. O'Ban- non," he cried heartily. A fine, compelling figure of a man was Colonel Thomas Posey, as he tow cred over little Mir. O'Bannon, who stood looking up at him with a side wise cock of the head. Splendidly he filled his buff-trimmed, light blue army coat, with its huge collar reach ing up to his ears. His big shoulder cape and his cooked hat, with its black and white cockade. lay on a bench where he had tossed them. He looked the Virginia gentleman he was by birth.
 The little old gentleman chirped a greeting and thrust forward his rag ged charge.
 "This is Mir. Larrence," he said, '9a-ate of England and now come to try his fortunes in the American sta-ates. I am no herald to inquire of mems pedigrees; it sufices me If know their virtues, Colonel Posey ; and If this young mans face be no false witness, his virtues better ap- parel his mind than England has ap- parelsd his body"

CHAPTER [.
The Wilderness.


 April-1S11l Up the valleys of the South spring stole tremblingly from the farther South, along the river low lands of Kentucky and up the sides of the steep, pebbly hills on the Indi- ana shore. First to come. like the white guidons of an army of peace. the blos- soms of the wild plum flung out diaph- enous draperies against the mono chromes of the soils and the dark greenness of the pine woods. Then, In the open spaces and around the gray log cabins on the heights, the peach trees flushed pink in the warm kisses of the sun. The new grass was starred in patches by multitudes of bluets, the blue-eyed grass, each tiny flower as simple and as wonderful as . little cbil6,
 Deep In a crevice of the limestone strata that sank to form the bed of Little Indian creek, hidden from the warmth and light Of the April morn Ing. there lay coil of what might have been mistaken for a rope-a coil whose every fold was thick as a mans wrist. tawny, mottled with spots of dull black. yellow-ringed.
 Along the path through the forest there came striding a tall youth, in ragged garments. a little bundle slung at the end of staff over his shoul- der. His fair skin was deeply burned by the sun and his blue eyes were yelled in anxious thought. He had pursued another man over sea and through forest wilderness with the in- tention of killing that man if he should oyertake him.
 Now, the young mans intention was blunted. Months before 1t had seemed the one right and just thing that this other man should die at his hands. This other man had caused the legal murder of the youths father. But to take justice into one's own hands, even on such provocation as this, is an act unspeakably dreadful; and weeks of meditation had succeeded only in painting 1t as thing more despicable,
 In the fragrant breath of the vir- ginal earth he cried out in an agony of mind. A bourgeoning universe shouted aloud for joy of victory over death. Life rose by pressing her tri' umphant feet on the prone shoulders of her weaker brother, Death. For the struggle between Life and Death Is actual. and Life lives by killing. God himself ordained the killing and pro, nounced it part of his eternal justice But the agonizing man who thought of the life he had sworn to take with his own hand-what could justify his act7 His act would be accomplished
