The 'knot of six men Was added to until all of the original party were pres- ent with the exceptions a the real Hank Beyer, myself, Landlord Bulfincb and Squire Gager. The last to. arrive was the negro, Pete. He had gone up the, creek, as directed by Cy Walters, but went only a little way when he became • satisfied it was the wrong direction. He then turuod about and took the saute course as the veteran; not only that, but he went farther and discovered the dug- out, which was caught fast by an over- hanging limb, uot far frbm where haft turned it adrift. He spent some time in looking for me, but, meeting with no success, made his way to the spot in the swawp where the othere. were assem- bled, bei,ng directed thither by the sig- nals seut out for that purpose. Pete told nothing of his discovery and remained a silent participant iu the proceedings. The same was true for a time of Cy Walters, who, how- ever, listened oloeely to every word that was said. He desired to interpose, but appreciated the disadvantage in which he was placed. He and his step- hetbat Pete bad saved his life. "They'll find some way of furnishing "We must Awl him," was the cone ment of Cy. "Let' go." With no definite idea of whither they should direct their steps, they followed • the path to the creek, the intention of Cy Walters being to meet bis two , friends and make known the astounding story he bad jest heard. Arrived there, • 1 the missing dugout revealed ray method 'of flight. • \ "This knocks out all the bloodhounds in the country," remarked the veteran. "None of them Cali trail him through the water, mid bas he gone' up or down stream?'" There was no way of deciding. "You may go up the creek, and 1 11 • follow it down He oan't be fin off." Oh the point of separating, Pete said: • "Marse Cy, what I jes' tole yo' eim il sem*, yo' know." "Of Wino, if you wish it to be'so." ," 'Deed I do. It'll sabe nie lots of trouble." • "All right ; ae with you." And they parted company. The foregoing shows the injustice 'done to Fete by my suspicious.

He freely expressed his regret for his leniency of were'robbedin on tbe preceding evehg. Learning oe the startling proceedings in the early hours ---though, be it re- membered, the agency of Miss Maiisley in the business was never suspected— they set out for Black Man's swamp, no- • oompanied by the most ferocious blood- hound for miles around. Audesomething also happened to that brute which eliminated him as a factor in the solution of the problem. It was not long after this that what may be called an adjourned meeting of the man hunters took place in the depths of . the swamp, near the creek which had played an important part in the cu- • rious ineidents. Cy Walters was pres- ent, as vitro Gabe Horner and the owner of theeecond honed that bad. departed this life. To express it mildly, a vein of dissatisfaction ran through the proceed- • ings. , The proposition was made for several members of the party to go back and procure more dogs. "len opposed to that," called out .Gabe, who was infuriated by the loss of Mt. the preceding evening mid was eager to make amends by the most vigorous pro- ceedings possible: Cy Walters remained glum and silent until this course was cleolded upon. Then be saw that it would not do to bold his peace any longer. That -hs pos- sessea high courage was again proved. by bis notion. Advancing to the middle of the group, he raised one band with 'a commanding gesture. "Geutlemen, I've listened to every word that has been said hare. 'Jira Dun- gan throwecl out a slur or two that it won't do fur him to repeat. I let 'em go 'cause I see he was excited and didn't weigh hie words, but he mustn't speak 'em ag'in!

Gentlemen, since sun up I've larued a thing, which you oughtar know. It's this—the chap that you're hunting furain't Hulk .Beyer!" It proved as Oy feared. His assertion was reeeived with scornand anger. Not , even his own ,stepson would accept it. His words seemed to have added fuel to the, fire and intensified the &termite - tion of the others to .piishthe hunt eoi me with more merciless rigor than ever, Oy Waltees, however, was not the man to yield a position when once taken, and it was bectieee of his stand and the words he mid laid the declaration he made that whee I looked bade at Black alau's swamp it gave no sign.
