CHAPTER v-Continued.

Then came n pun OF white smoke
and a report from one of the More
land rifles, then shots from both sides
- and the battle was on. Dale heard
the nasty whine of a bullet in full
flight; he heard the coarse "zzz" OF a
half-spent ricochet. lie knew that he
was In some danger now, and he was
surprised to lind that he was not
frightened.
When he halted again II was on his
knees behind the big white sycamore
that sheltered John Moreland.

The mountaineer turned his gaze
over Daie's shoulder and his counte-
nance seemed To freeze. Dale looked
around quickly and saw Babe Little
ford, less than ten feet behind him
She had crept up through the tall
grasses and weeds. In one hand she
carried a white flag made of u mans
handkerchief and willow switch. She
halted and sat up.

you doing hereT"
Babe gave him pale smile. "Ef
pap'd shoot me, a-thinkin' was n

John Moreland stared. and Bill Dale
stared. They were in Presence, and
they knew Il. Babe went on:

Dale gave n hoarse cry and gathered
her limp figure into his arms. John
Moreland waved aloft the white hand

And to his brother Abner, whose
right forearm was wrapped In blood
stained blue bandana:
BLACK Adam is hid som'eres in this
meadow; go and ketch him, and don't
take no chanst with him. Shoot him
like dawg ef he tries TO trick ye!
A dozen men ran to look for the
would-be sniper. The Littlefords, still
armed came dashlng across the river.
Ben Llttleford threw down his rife
and knelt beside his daughter; he
wrung his big hands and cursed the
day that had seen him born.
Dale held her close. His face was
as white as hers, aud his eyes were
flaming.

chief, and every word cut like knife.

Ii seemed a long time before Brae-

No, they'd better not see her Just then

Ii may be noted, parenthetically as
1t were, that John Moreland and Ben
Littleford quickly reached a wordless
agreement not to sleep together-they
divided the pillows and linens evenly,
