Racked and tortured, Ware hest
tated; but the sun WAS slipping in
to the west; his windows bla1ed
with the hot light.
'"You swear you'll do your Dart!"
he said thickly. He took his purse
from his pocket and counted out
the amount due Hicks. He named
the total, and paused irresolutely.
Don't you want the fire lighted"
asked Hicks. He was familiar with
his employers vacillating moods.
YES" answered Ware, his lips
quivering; and slowly. with shak-
ing fingers. he added to the pile OF
bills in Hicks hand.
well, take care of yourself"
said Hicks, when the count was
complete. He thrust the roll OF
bills into his pocket and moved to,
the door.
Alone again. the planter col
lapsed into his chair, breathing
heavily, but his terrors swept over
him and left him with . savage
sense OF triumph. This passed; he
sprang up, intending to recall Hicks
and unmake his bargain. What had
he been thinking of-safety lay only
in fight! Before he reached the
door his greed was in the ascend
ant. He dropped down on the edge
Of his bed, his eyes fixed on the
window. The sun sank lower.
From where he sat he saw 1t

terrors, he started and backed to-

the one dominating influence OF his
life, vanquished him.
| He watched the sun sink. He
watched the red splendor fade over
the river; he saw the first stars ap-
pear. He told himself that Hicks
would soon be gone-if the fire was
not to be lighted he must act At
once! He stole to the window. II
was dusk now, yet he could distin-
guish the distant wooded boundar-
les Of the great fields framed by the
darkening sky. Then in the silence
he heard the thud of hoofs.

gnawing his lips while he gazed
up at the sun.

am going to quit these parts" said
Hicks. Ware turned slowly from
the window.
''All right. Hicks. You mean you
want me to settle with you, Is that
it," he asked. @
