among the ertornmus eyiiress trees.
Now lie came nimn a widening that
looked like a millpond, except that in
the midst oi Ii arose an island ,,f [all
Cftne. It was an ulirae||v ( . sight, and
he ceased piiddling to look, slowly
he drifted toward the island's shore.
He took hold of a ■ atio rool and pulled
the nose of the canoe lia.d into the
bank. Then out. purling- the!
stiff and stubborn cane In a shade as :
dense us night. Ihtl now through this !
parting hallway he could see sunlight j
beyond, and knew that lie was ah nit !
to come into un o ion space. Ami mu ;
into it he looked with a start; for j
there, a few feel from the edge of
fringe of cane, stood a small Imps,,
made of minute shells eemen:mi ■ . '
Slit 1 did not take l'right when she
saw him. .She wits startled, but did
not run Into the house,; she stood
dazed, her marvelous eyes in wide
gitnre. Slowly he came forward, gnz
Ing, Ids hat in Ids hand, lie dropped
the hat. stooped, euuglit It up and
now stood before her.
If she were agitated, lie could not
discover il. She stood where the red
blooms brushed her brow. He hold
forth his hand, ami slowly sip. shook
her lucid.
"Monsieur, how foolish to route! if
you do not go now lira short time you
will die. My father! II will shoot
you. I should like It not to see you
dead, you are so brave. My father, lie
will think )mi come for him."
“Bui I will tel! him Hint I did not
• j—"
He moved neuter, but with her hand
raised, puliii toward him. she motioned
him nwiiy.
"You do not know wlmt von talk.
Votlilti could you ("'ll him. for th ■
gun lire, and you will he no more.
Plenso go away now." .
"Oh. Il Is because you want to get
rid of me.”
"No, no. no. It is not that. I like
you much. You are so brave — and
handsome. It j.s beeutt.se I ('ear for
you. M.x father would be angry to
have me talk with u northern man.
Go now. and for my sake, come no I
more."
"Mr. Iloyce," said Drace then, "is
not ti northern man?"
She shot ti sudden startled htok at
him. “Mr. Boyce—but he Is my fa
ther's friend. My fiiflier expects me
to marry Mr. Boyce. And If my father
should come hack nnd find me here
talking with you, he would—Please,
Mr. Dniee. go at once, before it is too
late. See. the sun is almost set. The
stars eoiue soon, nnd then through the
(utiie lie come. Ob, won't you please
be kind to me and go nt once!"
"Kind to you? God bless you. I
would die for you."
"Dn, you make love soon! But
won't you please go now! Quick, I hear
something."
"You ijeur my heart. Lot me stay
ten minutes, and then I go."
"Ah, but why would you give me ten
minutes of fear?"
lb -aw that her anxiety was real,
and his I,earl smote him for cruelty to
this dar/ling creature whose father he
would hang with a rope brought front
the North.
' "ii- I will go. 1 wanted to tell you
something, but my regret at going is
so-deep that 1 forget what It was. But I
I must come again w hen the sun is not |
-o low. Vo, tell me please, when that j
shall' be?"
"Never would a man before talk like ■
this pi me . . . Put jf you must conic j
when I beg you no, let it be next
I hursday. My father then will he lu
the bills lo buy cattle.”
I'his is Friday, and thnt will he a
week, lacking one day. You have set
doomsday for my return."
If you come before, you will not
find me. And now it is the good-b.v.”
She drew back quickly through the
l door, and down into the fringe or tall
cane he went, parting Ids way to the |
canoe that lay nosing the mossy bank, i

witched ihe swift minutes with 1dm I
was the daughter of his sworn enemy j
Sleplio la Vitte.
A voice called him as he was curs
ing himself for a traitor to his father’s
memory, tin a point of land he saw
Hirer men standing, one of thorn
hoi'koned him, and ho turned in to
ut'd them. One of them spoke:
"Mould you bi' kind to -,,>[ us

with the quickness of a cat snatched
l a rope from beneath his coat und
l threw a noose about Draco’s arms
j Then the two men in the boat 'threw
themselves upon him. There was a
j hard struggle in the canoe nnd then
out into the water, but they broughl
him ashore, wound about with the rope
Now they made haste to tie him se
curely. Hie canoe was dragged
ashore; Dracv stretched out In it, and
now they took It on their shoulders
nnd hastened through the tangled tin
derbrush. He had fought hard, but
had not cried out. But as he was
carried along, he swore bitterly at
himself for not looking at first with
suspicion on the brutes who now had
him In their power. *
"Ah, you would steal about nnd
spy," said Tonez. "But you steul aboid
no more. The carpetbaggers, they sny.
‘You brave?’ and you say, ‘Yes, I am
brave.’ Then they say, ‘You find old

"You are liars, I was—"
"Ah, you come with the Joke. To
