hour dragged by, the breeze moaning
in the cane. Virgil arose and stood
near the chair. Stepho opened his
eyes, but was silent. Virgil sat down

He heard the canoe coming.
Father Tahan was kindly and soft

Nadine had echoed it. and another
voice, hidden in the cane, had NUT
tered the words with how different a
meaning Now Thursday was come
again; and Virgil BRACE infirm of

the river and through the swamp to
his tryst with Nadine
But Death sought to make a third

Leaped Upon Him.
And hardly had the Northerner's canoe
touched the bank when from out the
cane Tony and Stepho ieaped upon
him and bore him to the ground, dazed
by blow from an oar.
"Hal My fine carpetbagger! You
seize my wrist and keep my knife from
the old General. You steal here to
make love to my daughter Ha! Who
will now keep my knife from you? In
q little while, now. you will be deep
in the marsh and the green mold will
be on your bones. And the old fool at
the big house, he die too, for my men
will cut his throat And then"
A piercing cry from the house, and
Nadine ran to them, a knife that
mated Stepho,s dirk clutched in her
hand
"No-nor she cried. "You shall
not"
Stepho looked up ''Take the girl
away. Tony" he commanded.
But Nadine threatened him off with
her knife. Then she turned the blade
in another direction and spoke again.
'If you do not let Virgil CO. she said,
81 will kill myself-now."
Stepho knew Nadine-the wild heart
OF her. "You promise never to see this
man again. and TO marry Monsieur
Boyce, like l wish?"
Il promise nothing-except that /
will kill myself If you do not let him
GO"
Stepho hesitated a moment, craft
fighting with anger. Then craft won !;
he CT Tony would stroll up to the Beth
page plantation and make an end of
the General and Drace that night.
"All right" he snarled. "He can go.
But let him never come back here
Or" He drew the back of his dirk
across his own throat In significant
gesture. Then with Tony he lifted
Drace into his canoe; and the young
man, still dazed from the blow, feebly
made his way out Of the swamp.
When he had passed from sight, Ma
dine dropped her knife and sank to the
ground sobbing. old Stepho turned
savagely upon her.

He thrust himself toward her, his

but without fiinching she now laughed
In his face.

Drace returned to Stepho's chair, the
old man shagging his brows at him.
Then thinking Of the rope still but
toned tightly beneath his coat he tore
II ont and threw II away. Nature. he
reflected. had usurped his task. and he
could safely turn over to her his
claims. A slight noise behind him: he
looked quickly about, and there few
feet behind him at the edge Of the
cane stood Tony. Upon him the vision

cried for help.

Virgil threw Off his coat and his pls

moment before, he would have shot
the beast; now he would save him.

arose, swimming, and Drace saw o

FOOT GUARDS CAMP
 STARTS AT NIANTIC
Second Company Preceded By Hart ford Members For Annual Three
 Days Maneuvers

New Haven. July 13 - With full
 ranks, the Second Go. Governor
 Foot Guards, with its new major, M. F. Cross in command, left for Mantle this morning to begin three days of field duty. The First Go, of Hartford preceded it to the camp grounds last night.
 Most of the officers and the line went over by automobile, something like 75 machines being offered by members of the company for use The camp equipment had been sent over and trucks took along "all the com forts of home" for the Soldier boys"
 The Foot Guards are believed to be the only military organization in the state in which about every mem Der has his own motor car and the entire tour of field duty, if necessary could be performed with the men and officers at the steering wheels. The cars will keep up communications with home folks most of whom will take a run down to camp to see if the guards are comfortable and en- toying life. At departure the mem bers were very enthusiastic. Most of them carried protection against the m osquito pest which sometimes is quite a burden on life at the state camp grounds.
