"This is seems," I reflected, hur-
tiedly rising te nay feet, for I had not
taken the trouble to remove my cloth-
ing. I listened, but did not hear any
one moving below the etairs. The con-
viction that something was wrong was
atrengthenecl when I descended the lad-
der and found Pete was absent from the
cabin.
"He's up to some deviltry," I mut-
tered, proparin,g myself for mischief.
CHAPTER XV.
c Yes, the Cabin was deserted of every
one exoept myself. I pronounced the
name of Pate Beveled dines, but there
was no response. Tho door was closed
and everything below appeared to be as
%viten I climbed the ladder iu the early
hours of the rnernieg, except that the
latobstring bung outside, so as to ad-
mit any one who.ohose to pull it.
I was hungry, but there was not, a
particle of food in sight, nor any odor
to denote that my man had cooked a
mouthful for himself. A pail of fresh
water sat on a small. bench in the cor-
nee and I dipped a gourd into it•and
took a refreshing draft Then I made
nse of it to lave my face and hands,
drying thena upon my handkerchief.
My toilet artioles were at the inn of
Tom Bulfinch in the hamlet of Aldine.
Then, with a.deliberation that sur -
,prised myself, I examined my revolver.
t, Tho three charges were in place, and I
( grimly wondered how soon I should
1 have to appeal to them.
No doubt lingered in my mind that
the negro intended treachery. If net,
why had he failed to call nie, as he
promised? I was mildly astonished that
1 he had not robbed me in my sleep, but
' aceounted for that on the theory that
he intended to deliver me intact to the
white men who were hunting for nie.
This `fancy became more reasonable
,'when I reflected that Pete must bean
' objeet of suspicion to his neighbors be-
cause of his numeroustorays upon their
property. In what more effectual way
could he square himself with them than
by' delivering Inc into -their bands? He
had gone earth to open communication
with them, and as soon as be could do
so would bring them to the cabin, where
I should have been caught like a rat in
a trap. '
I stepped to the einall window on the
right and peeped out. The email clear-
ing stretched 'away to the wood and
showed tio sign of a living person. The
same view met my eye from the oppot
site 'window. Then I lifted the lateh

we had come to the building. That.

the chickens were industriously soratche

rightful owners.

ble •when it is remembered that they
were within a biscuit's toss of where i
was crouching, • Perhaps I should have
heard enough to catoh the drift of their
conversation bad they not Qballged their
position by moving farther along the
path in the direction of the cabin. Wait-
ing several minutes, ventured to steal
forward a few paces into the trail in the
hope of catching sight of them and
making my own position more advan-
tageous. Unfortunately, however, . a
turn in the path shut them from sight,
•and I dared not approach any Dearer
through fear of betraying myself.
Ala, if iu the light of after events

extraordinary conversation going ore so

.At fleet moment the distant baying of
a hound sounded through the swamp.
There was no mistaking the hideous
sound nor could there bo any doubt of
the fact that the brute was on my trail.,
Moreover, nov7 that the man !meters
had beeu •given time to gather and
formulate their plans they were sure to
provide themselves with more than one
of the frightful creature.%
The warning could not pans unheed-
ed. The dogs would follow my foot-
steps straight to the twisted tree and
thee up the creek to where I had entered
the dugout of the negro Pete. Cy Wal -

But the best teems in the world was,

indefinite clistauce, and, there was bo
call to do to when the dugout was
within arim's reach.
With 120 hesitation, 1 shoved the"
clumsy structure clear, picked up the
paddle and balanced myself within.
The boat was of awkward bend, but it
was easy to paddle through the water
with its languid current. Being con-
viaced that by goieg up stream 1 would
enter deeper into the swamp, I beaded
'the craft iu the opposite direction. I ,

however, that I had doubled en my
