I CHAPTER X. * ? The Lots of Rene. There was the echo of $p oath, a harsh, cruel laugh,the ' crash of planking, a strange, half-human cry of fright from the negro?that was all. The sudden violence of the blow must , have hurled'me high ihto the air, for I struck the water clear of both boats, and so far out in the stream that when I came again struggling to the surface I was In the full sweep of the ' / current, against which I had to struggle desperately. Iu the brief second that Intervened between Sam's shont of warning and the crash of the two boats I had seen almost nothing? only that black, menacing hulk, looming up between us and the shore, more like a shadow than a reality. Yet now, lighting to, keep my head above water and not to be swept away, I was able ta realite instantly what had occurred. I had been mistaken; Kirby bad not fled down the river; Instead he had ?aa?Mlv fltto nlioliM tn MBilliJ T? iu iVU luio VUMUVV ?v <? ? ud at a disadvantage. Convinced that we would decide to make use of the npwboat. which he had left uninjured ^ i pyt that very purpose, and that we wonld venture forth just so St>on as the night became dark enough, he had hidden the stolen craft in some covert aldng shore to await our coming. .Then he sprang pn us, as the tiger springs on his prey. He had calculated well, for the blunt prow of tne speeding keeiboat had struck4 us squarely, crushing in the sides of our frail craft and flinging me headlong. What had been the fate of the others I could not for the moment determine. Thie darkness shadowed everything, tne hulk of the keeiboat alone appearing ip the distance,. and that ahapelessly outlined. The craft bore no light, and bad It nbt been for a voice speaking I donbt if I could have located even that. The rowboat conld not be distinguished-?It must have sunken, or else drifted away, a helpless wreck. The first sound my ears caught, echoing across the water, was an oath, and a question: "By ?! a good job; do you see that fellow anywhere?" | "Naw," the response a mere growl. "He's a goner, I reckon; never knowed whut hit him, Jedgia' from the way ho upended It." "Well, then he isn't likely to bother us any more. Suppose he was the white man?" - t | /"Sure he wus; It wus the nigger ?" who was up ahead. We hit him, an' be dropped in 'tween ther boats, on' went dowtf^Uke a stoqe. He never * yelped but just onct, when I furst gripped ther girl. I don't reckon as she wus hurt et all; leastwise I never aimed fer ter hurt her none." "Has she said anything?" "Not a d d twitter; maybe she^s fainted. I dunno, Dut tnats tner way females do. What shall I do with the bird, Klrby?" "Oh, hold on to her there awhile, long as she'9 quiet. I'm going to try the steam again,-and get outside into the big river. H?, man, but this hasn't been such a bad night's work." The steam began to stzz, settling swiftly Vato a rhythmic chugging, as the revolving wheel 'began to churn up the water astern. Confident oJ being sqjely hidden by the darkness, I permitted the current to .bear me downward,* my muscles aching painfully from the struggle, and with no other thought In my mind except to keep well out of sight of the occupants of the boat. To be perceived by them and overtaken In the water ineant certain death, while if they continued to believe that I had actually sunk beneath the surface, some future carelessness on their part might yield me an unexpected opportunity to serve Rene. The few words overheard had made sufficiently plain the situation. Poor Sam had already found freedom In death, crushed between the two colliding boats, but the firl had been grasped in time and hauled uninjured aboard the heavier craft. This had been the object of the attack?tos gnin possession of her. Very evidently I had not been seen closely enough to be recognized by Kirby. In a measure this afforded me a decided advantage, provided we ever encountered each other again?and I meant that we should. The account between us was not closed by this incident; far from it. There In that black water, struggling to keep afloat, while being swept resistlessly out Into the river, with no Immediate object before me except to remain concealed by the ell of darkness, I resolved solemnly to myself that this affair should never end until it was ended right. In that moment of decision I cared not at all for Rene Beauc^Jre's drop of negro blood, no? for tr 'act that she was a slave in her master's hands. To my mind she was but a woman, a sweet, lqyable, girlish woman, in the unrestrained power of a brute, and dependent alone on. me for. rescue. That was enough; I cared for nothing more. With silent strokes I waited patiently until the steady chugging of the engine grew faint in the distance, and then finally ceased entirely. Uncertain which way to turn, and conscious of a strange lassitude, I k made no struggle to reach land, but permitted myself to be borne downward in the grip of the water. Suddenly something drifted against my body,_a black, .ill-defined .object, toss levils Own. nonce of fhe Block Bowk War /Z''*- ?

' Suddenly the wrecked boat's bow grated against something Immovable; ' then became fixed, the stern swinging slowly about, until it also canght, and I could feel the full volume of down, pouring water against my body. The I blindly floatipg boat had drifted I upba a snag, seemingly the major porj tion of a tree, now held by some spit of sand. I struggled vainly in an attempt to release the grip which hlld us, but the force of the current had securely wedged the boat's bow beneath a limb, a bare leafless tentacle, making all my efforts useless. I found a submerged branch oa which to stand, grippe<Kthe boat desperately to prevent being swept away, and waited for the dawn. It seemed a long while coming, and never did man gaze on a more dismal, ghastly scene than was revealed to mb by those first gray gleams dimly showing in the far cast. All about stretched utter desolation; wherever mv eyes turned the vista was the same?a wide stretch ofrestless brown water surging and leaping past, bounded by low-lying shores, forlorn and deserted. ' How far I had aimlessly drifted downstream during the^night was a mere matter of conjecture. I possessed no knowledge of where I was. Each bank of the river appeared about equally bare and desolate, entirely devoid of promise. .However, I chose the west shore for my experiment, as the current seemed less strong In that direction, and was about to plunge in, determined to tight a way across, when my eyes suddenly detected a faint wreath of smoke: curling up/into the pale sky above a headland far to the southward. As I stared at this it became black and distinct, tossed about in the wind. I watched intently, clinging to my support, scarcely trusting my eyesight, while that first wisp deepened into a cloud, advancing slowly toward me. < There waa no longer doubt of what It was?unquestionably some steamer was pushing Its course upstream. Even before my ears could detect the far-off chug of 1? it. .v? uie engine uk; ltuui nam. iuuuuuu mo sharp point of the headland and came forth into full view, heading out toward the middle of the river in a search for deeper water. It was an unusually large steamboat for those days, a lower river packet, I guessed, with two funnels painted yellow and a high pilot house surmounted by a huge brazen eagle. At first, approaching rae, bow on, I could perceive but little of its dimensions, nor gain clear view of the decks, but when it veered slightly these were revealed, and I had a glimpse of a few figures grouped forward, the great wheel astern splashing the water, and between a long row of windows reflecting the glare of the early sun. Even as I gazed at this vision a' flag crept up the slender stafT at the bow and reaching the top rippled out in tHn orlpn hronva A mfttTlPTlt lfltpr T deciphered the lettering across the, white front of the pilot house?Adventurer of Memphis. Indifferent at that moment as to where the approaching boat might be bound, or my reception on board; desirous only of immediate escape from my unfortunate predicament, I manured to remove my sodden coat and furiously wave It In the air as a signal. At first there was no response, no evidence that I had even been seen; then slowly, deliberately, the steamer changed Its course and came straight up the river, struggling against the full strength of the current. I could see a man step from out the pilot house onto the upper forward deck, lean out over the rail and speak to the others below, pointing toward me across the water. A halfrtn?.en pronneri themselrpR nf the how. ready for action, their figures growing more shandy defined as the struggling craft approached. The man above stood shading his eyes with one hand and gesticulating with the other. Finally the sound of his voice reached me. "Hey! you out there I If you can swim jump for it. I'm not going to run into that snag." r i I measured the distance between us with my eye and leaped as far out as possible, striking out with lusty strokes. The swift current swung me about like a chip, and swept me downward in spite of every struggle. I was squarely abreast of the boat, already caught in her suction, and being drawn straight in toward her wheel, when the looped end of a flying noose .struck my shoulder. | ~rsKeep your head,- istf f**' Toared' -out a hoarse voice. "Hang on now, nn' we'll get ytr." It was such a rush, such a breathless, desperate struggle I con scarcely recall the details. All I really remember Is that I gripped the Tope and clung; was dragged under again and again; was flung against the steamer's side, seemingly losing all consciousness, yet dimly realising that out1 stretched hands grasped me and lifted me up by main strength to tbo narrow footway, dropping mo there in the pool of water oozing from my "Yes, Htfn All Right, Sir; Just ft Bi Qroggy." .m? . clothes. Someone1 spoke, lifting in: head on his arm, in answer to a Lai from above. "Yes, he's all right, sir; Just a hi* groggy. What'll we do with him?" "Bring him along up to Huinef cahjn and get him the old suit, in nr room. You might wurrri him tip wit. a drink first. You tend to it, Mapes.'

Mapes was bushily bearded {hat about all I cuuh perceive of his face was the eyes, ye. these were intelligent, and I Ipstantlj picked him out as being the mute. "How long yer all bin roostin' or thet snag?" he questioned, evldentlj somewhat amused. "Dern me, stranger If I ever see "thet sorter thing doni afore."

"Why, what's going on there? My friend, there aren't ten families within a hundred miles ol! that place." Mapes laughed, his mouth opening like a red gash, exhibiting a row ol yellow fangs. I "No, I reckon not; but thar's a h?1 ov a lot o' fellers thar whut ain't families but kin eat. Didn't yer know,1 pardner, thar's a right smart war on; thet the Illinoy militia Is called out an' Is a-raarchin\ now fer Yellei Banks?

Maybe the captain kin tell yer? sumwhar up Rock river, I reckon, wharever that Is." We climbed the steep steps to the upper deck, and were met at the head of the ladder by the captain, evidently desirous of looking me over. He was j a solidly built individual, wearing j white side whiskers and a bulbous nose, and confronted me not altogether pleasantly. "All right, are you? Water pretty cold yet, I reckon. Been sticking on that snag long?" "Several hours; Dut my douc was wrecked before we lodged there." The captain laughed and winked aside at the mate. "Seems to be a mighty populous river up this way, hey, Mapes?" he remarked genially. "Castaways round every bend." "What do you mean? Have you picked up others?" "Certainly have.

Had four aboard, but we got 'em all off an' stowed 'era back there In the texas. You better get along now and shuck those wet dfothes." ' The captain turned rather sharply away, and I was thrust through un open cabin door by the grasp of the mate before I could really sense the true meaning of this unexpected news. Mapes paused long enough to gruffly indicate a coarse suit of clothes draped over a stool, and was about to retire without further words when, I recovered sufficiently from the shock to halt him with a question: "I suppose you saw those people picked up from the keelboat?" "Sure; helped pull 'em aboard. A d d queer combination, if ask me; two nigger wenches, Jot j Klrby an' a deputy sheriff from dowi I St. Louee way."
