Just where be had parted from
Ware Carrtugton sat bis horse bis
brows knit and his ryes turned In the

way to a plantation below Htrard tbe
owner of which had recently Import-

He stared down at tbe gray dust and

hope of success he bad no time to

nothing beyond his distrust of Ware.
In tbe end be sprang from the saddle

that five men had ridden In and out of

was searching for ' tome trampled
space at the water's edge; but the
verdant wail preserved Its unbrokea
continuity and twenty minutes later
he came within sight of Hlcka' clear-
ing and the keel boat where tt rested
against the bank.
A little farther on be found the
pot w here Slosson bad launched tbe
iktff the night before. Tbe keel of bla
boat had cut deep Into tbe ellppery
clay; more than thla the Impresa ot
the small shoe waa repeated here and
Just beside It waa the print of a cblld'a
bare foot
Me no lorger doubted that Petty

Ms r .ht. bis purpt's being to juss
i anu nl the bad of tbe expanse ol
aiuggi-h water to a point from which
he iou!d later approach tbe cabin.
Put the cabin proved to be better
defended than be bad foreseen; aud
as he advanced the difficulties of tbe
task be had set himself became al-
most insurmountable: yet lustatned
as be was by bis imperative need be
tore bis way through tbe labyrinth of
trailing vines or floundered across
acre-wide patches of green allnie and
black mud. which at each step threat-
ened to engulf him In tbelr treacher-
ous depths until at the end of aa
hour he gained tbe southern aid of
tbe clearing and a firmer footing
within the shelter of the woods.
Mere he paused and took stock of
hla aurroundlngs. Tbe two or three
buildings Mr. Hicks bad erected stood
midway of the ctearlr.g and were very
modest improvements adapted to their
ow ner a somewhat flippant pursuit of
agriculture. While Carrlngton was
atlll staring about him. the cabin door
swung open and a woman stepped
forth. It was tbe girl Hess. She went
to a corner ot tbe building and culled
loudly:
"Joe! Oh. Joe!"
Carringtou gh.nced in the direction
of tbe keel boat and an Instant later
aw Slosson clamber over Its side
Tbe tavern keeper crossed to tbe cab-
In where he was met by Hess who
placed In his hand what seemed to
be a wooden bowl. With tbla b
bloucbed off to ore of tbe outbuild-
ings which be entered. Ten or tir-
teen minutes slipped by then became
from the idled and after securing the
door returned lo the cabin lie was
again met by He.s who relieved him
of the bowl; tb-y exchanged a tew
words and Slosson walked awuy ami
afterward disappeared over tbe aid
of the keel boat.
This niuiU was clear to the Ken-
tuckian: food had been taken to some
cne In the shed to Hetty and the
boy! more likely to George.
He waited now for tbe night to
come und to him the sun seemed
tlxed in tho heavens. At Uelle Plalu
Tom Ware was watching It with a
shuddering sense of the swiftness ot
Its flight. Hut nt lust tho tops of th
tall trees obscured it; it sank quickly
then and blazed a ball of tire beyond
the Arkansas coast while Its dying
glory spread aslant the heavens turn-
ing the flanks of the gray clouds t
violet and purple and gold.
With the first approach of darkness
Carringtou made Ins way to the shed
Hidden In the ihadow be paused te
listen and fancied he beard difficult
breathing from within. Tbe door
creaked hideoui-ly n Its wooden
binges when he pushed It open but as
It aw ung hack the last remnant or
the day's light showed him some dark
object lying prone on the dirt floor.
He reached down Mid bis hand rested
en a man's booted tout.
"George " Carrlngton spoke softly
but tbe man on tbe floor gave no sign
that ho heard and Carrlngton's ques-
tioning touch stealing higher bo found
that George If it were George wa
lying on his side with bis arms and
legs securely bound. Thinking he
slept tbe Kentucklun shook hliu gent-
ly to arouse blm.
"George?" he repeated est l ll bend-
ing above blm. This time an Inartic-
ulate murmur answered blm. At the
same Instant the woolly head of the
negro came under his fingers and be
discovered tbe reason of his silence.
He w aa aa securely gagged aa be wa
