The native gave a moan-it was the
/ lament of one whose crime was come
tete-a-tete with its own punishment.
That's the game to play" said
Michael TO himself as he fastened the
door tight on the man. THE hounds
VIII settle this foOl-rebellion quicker
than aught else. Mr.. Calhouns a
wise man, and he ought to be governor
here. Criminal2 AS much as the
angel Gabriel! He must put down
TINS rebellion-nO wan else can.
| They're stronger, the Maroons than
ever they've been. They've planned
this with skill, and they'll need a lot
of handlin'. We're safe enough here,
but down there at Salem-well, they
may he caught in the bloody net, for
this thing is dirty, black business.
Bedad, that's sure"
A few moments afterward he met
/ Dyck Calhoun.
Michael" said Dyck. things are
safe enough here, but we've prepared !!
/ The Overseers, bookkeepers and driv-
ers are loyal enough. But there are
/ Others not so safe or we'll prepared.
I'm going to Salem-riding as hard as
| can, with six of our best men.
Darius Roland is a good man. but he's
only had Virginian experience, and
this Is different. A hundred Maroons
are as good as a thousand white SOL
/ dlers in the way the Maroons fight
There are thousand of them, and
they can lay waste this island, If they
get going. So propose to stop them
The hounds are only just outside the
harbor, Michael. The ship Vincent,
bringing them, was sighted by sloop
two days ago, making slowly for
Kingston. She should be here before
we've time to turn round. Michael
/ the game is in our hands, if we play
+ it well. Do you go down to Kingston
and"
He detailed what Michael was to do
on landing the hounds, and laid
out plans for the immediate future.
They're in danger at Salem, Mi
chael, so we must help them one way
or another, | think the hounds viii
settle this whole wretched business,
though The governor can't refuse
their landing now. The people would
kill him if he did. 1t was l proposed

1 light was dim yet, but there was sufi-

Dyck shaded his forehead with his
hand.
ITS not one Of our people, Michael
It's a stranger"
AS the rider came on he was stopped
by two of the drivers OF the estate
Dyck and Michael saw him hold up
letter, and a moment later he was
on his way to Dyck, galloping hard
/ Arrived, he dropped to the ground
and sauted Dyck.
"A letter from Salem, sir" he said,
and handed it over to Dyck.
Dyck nodded, broke the seal Of the
letter and read it quickly. Then he
nodded again and babe the man eat
hearty breakfast and return with
him on one of the Enniskillen horses,
rs his own would be exhausted.
Were going down to help protect
Salem. my man." said Dyck.
The man grinned. That's good"
he answered. "They knew naught of
the rising when l left. But the gov

Nonsense, fellow, the governor
would go straight to Spanish Town
where he belongs, when there is

/ niskillen, and he meant to do it.
/ Well. ven see how he does 1t. If he

Dyck laid his hand upon the sword
at his side "If they don't get here,
Michael still tie war will be ours.
