"And then he'll go to killing doge

Gabe Horner. "It's waste of raw ma-
terial, gentleraen."
"What do you propose?"
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

"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

"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 had
• never had any intention of betraying

from the first; but his welfare had be-

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

that Archie and me was the two all

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.
