CHAPTER X

. In the night, in that hour Of self
reprOach which comes to us all. Virgil
awoke in rage with himself. He had
been dreaming had seen himself infirm
of purpose. without character. Back
to Highland Bruce he traced his an
cestry, and was he to be the first of
his race to prove degenerate. to tram
pie upon the memory of his father, to
loll in stupid love, TO give his soul to
creature far beneath him in birth
and schooling, a girl whose father had
murdered! Out of bed he got, and
bowed with the weight of shame,
walked the uneven floor, for his slow
steps were dOdderng.
Caught in an instant, fly in

He stood at the window. Gamecocks
were growing the dawn, a courageous
challenge to all the world. No, there
would be no weakening now The
sweetish comedy had been played
Swiftly he dressed himself, stole
downstairs, out of the house, down to
the river. There was no boat, but no.
matter, he would walk to Willow Head.
Realizing that it was yet too early for
the execution of his grim purpose he
halted at a wayside place, ate break
fast and waited for the sun. Then not
in flurried haste, but deliberate in
strength he walked on to Willow
Head, crossed over, found his neglected
rope where, in a hollow stump in
backsliding weakness he had hidden 1t,
buttoned it beneath his coat and strobe
down into the swamp.
1t was a long way to his canoe near
the Muscadine isle, and then long
pull to Periwinkle house, but there
was time enough. Stepho would not
go away till Thursday. All he would
90 away no more, for now on Tuesday
he must settle with the spirit of Alfred

NIists lowered about, but the island
was in a blaze Of light. Silently the
canoe slit the satin water. Silently
he landed. Determined vengeance may
pick its way as softly as eager love;
and in the cane, sharper of whisper
now that the weather was cool, lie
made not sound Out into the open
he peered No one within sight. On
the bark of the live oak were the dead
flowers of yesterday There in the
shade was the box that had served as
