there rises out of the landing place the
procesSi0n-the sixty dogs in three
wagons. their ten drivers with their
whips, but keeping order by the sound
OF their voices, low, soft and peculiar,
and then the horses starting into a
quick trot which presently would be-
come q canter-and the hounds were
off to Salem! There could be no fear
with the hounds let loose to do the
hunting"
"But suppose that when they get to
Salem their owner Is no more"
The CustOs laughed. Him, your
honor-him no more! Isn't he the
man of whom the black folk say,
Lucky Notwithstanding. lucky new
comern Ii that's his reputation, and
the coming of hts hounds Just when
the island most needed them is good
proof of it, do you think he'll be killed
by a lot of dirty Maroons! All, Cal
houn's a man with the luck of the
devil, your honor! He has the pull
as sure as heavens above he'll make
success. If you command your staff
to have this posted as a proclamation
throughout the island, 1t will do as
much good as a thousand soldiers. 1t
will stop the slaves from revolving; X
will squelch the Maroons, and I'm GER
tain sure Calhoun will have MaroOnS
ready to fight for us, not against us,
before this thing is over. | tell you,
your honor, 1t means the way out
that's what Ii means. So, if you'll give
me your order, keeping a copy of it
for the provost-marshal, I'll see It's
delivered to Dyck Calhoun before
neutrality-suspicious. by midnight. It's
not more than a six hours journey In
the ordinary way"
AT that moment an aide-de-camp en-
tered, and with solemn face presented
to the governor the last report from
the provost marshal general. Then he
watched the governor read the report.
"Ten more killed and twenty wound
ed !" said the governor. 1T must be
stopped"
He gave the Custos the letter to
Dyck Calhoun, and a few moments
later handed the proclamation to his
~aide-de-camp.
THAT will settle the business, your
honor" said the aide as he read the
proclamation.

CHAPTER XIX.
Sheiia Has Her Say.

"Then, tell me, please, what you
know Of the story" said the governor
to Sheila at Kings house one after
noon two weeks later. II only get
meager reports from the general com
handing. But you being close to the
intimate source Of the events must
know ALL"
II know nothing direct from Mr.. Cal
houn, your honor" she said, but only
through his servant, Michael Clones,
who is a friend of my Darius Boland,
and they have met often since the first
outbreak. You know, of course, what
happened at Port Louise-how the
slaves and Maroons seized and muir
dered the garrison. how families were
butchered when they armed first, how
barbarism broke loose and made all
men combine to fight the rebels. Even
before Mr.. Calhoun came they had had
record Of a sack Of human ears. cut
from the dead rebel-slaves, when they
had been killed by faithful slaves, and
good progress vas made. But the re-
VOTERS fixed their camps on high
rocks, and by blowing Of shells brought
many fresh recruits to the struggle.
It was only when Mr.. Calhoun came
with his hounds that anything decis-
i've was done. For the rebels-Maroons
and slaves-were hid, well entrenched
and cautious, and the danger was be-
coming greater every day. On Mr..
Calhoun's arrival he set the hounds to
work and the rebellion In that dis
trict was Dor over"
ut was gathering strepgeh with in
creasing tragedy elsewhere" remarked
the governor. "Some took refuge in
hidden places. and came out only to
steal, rob and murder-and worse.
There h but one way to deal with
these people. No gaming or drinking
among slaves must be allowed, blow
Ing Of shells or beating Of drums must
b. forbidden. and every free negro
Or mulatto must wear on his arm =

TO be a free man and not a victim OF
outlawry. I want that, and you ought
tc give 1t to him."
Lord Mallow was angry and discon-
certed, but he did o show 1t. u can
do no more than l have done. | have
not confined him to bis plantation as
the government commanded; ! cannot
go beyond that"
"You can put his case from the
standpoint of a patriot"
For a m the governor hesi-
tated, then he said: Because you
ask me"
II want it done for his sake, not for
mine," she returned with decision.
"You 1--WE it to yourself to see that 1t
Is done. Gratitude is not dead in you,
Is it,"
Lord Mallow flushed. you press
his case too hard. You forget what
he is-a mutineer and a murderer,
and no one should remember that as
you should"
"He has atOned for both and you
know It well. Besides, he vas not a
murderer. Even the courts did not
say he was. They only said he was
guilty of manslaughter. Oh, your o
or, be as gallant as your name and
place warrant"
He looked at her for a moment with
strange feelings IN his heart. Then
he said: Il will give you az answer
In twenty-four hours. Will that do,
sweet ~persuader?'
at might do" she murmured, and,
strange to say, she had a sure feeling
that he would say yes, in spite of her
knowledge that In his heart of hearts
he hated Calhoun.
AS she left the room, Lord Mallow
stood for a moment looking after her.
"She loves the rogue In spite of all !"
he said bitterly. "But she must come
with ne. They are apart as the poles.
Yet / shall do as she wishes if l am
to win her."

CHATTER XVIII.
The Clash OF Race.

In Kings house at Spanish Town
the governor was troubled. All his
plans and prophecies had come to
naught. He had been convinced there
would be no rebellion Of the Maroons,
and he Yves equally sure that his ca
reer would be made hugely successful
by marriage with Sheila Llyn-but
the Maroons had revolted, the mar
riage was not settled!
Messages had been coming from the
provost marshal general of reports
from the counties of Middlesex and
Cornwall, that the Maroons were raw
aging everywhere and that bands Of
slaves had Joined them with serious
disasters to the plantation people.
Planters, their wives and children had
been murdered, and In some districts
the natives were in full possession
and had destroyed, robbed and raw
aged. He had summoned his CON-
mander Of the militia forces. had Gre
ated special constables, and armed
them, and had sent a ship to the Ba-
k40AA0S ~ SNAhAhOA u hiQ bii2lSl
fleet there. He had also mapped out
q campaign against the Maroons,
which had one grave demerit-it was
planned on a basis Of ordinary war
fare and not with Jamaica conditions
In mind. The provost marshal warned
him OF the utility Of these plans. but
he had persisted In them. He had
later been shocked. however. by news
that the best Of his c0lonels had been
ambushed and killed, and that others
had been made prisoners and treated
With barbarity. From everywhere,
except one, had come either news Of
defeat o. setback.
