Barbara nodded, smiled and after the dance ran up to ask him to take part, but' he shook his head. Hugh had looked at him as from a superior height, and the boy noticed him frown ing while Barbara was challenging him to dance. The next dance cleared his face and set his feet to keeping time, for the square dance hud, of course, reached the wilds. “I know that,” he said to Harry, who told Barbara, and the little girl went up to him again, and this time, flushing, he took place with her on the floor. Hugh came up. “Cousin Barbara, this is our dance, I believe,” he said a little thickly. . The girl took him aside and Hugh went surlily away. Harry saw the Incident and he looked after Hugh, frowning. The backwoodsman con ducted himself very well. He was lithe snd graceful and at first very dignified, but as he grew In c«>nB<!*nc* he began to execute steps that were new to that polite land and rather boisterous, hut Barbara looked pleased and all onlookers seemed greatly amused—all except Hugh. And when the old Addlee sang out sonorously: "Cruel man to rtgtit — cheat an’ •wlag the boy cheated outrageously, cheated all hat hta little partner, to whom each time he turned with open loyalty, and Hugh was openly sneer- lag sow and genuinely angry. * “You shall have the last d^^co," \ Irgtiila whispered Barbara. *tk HML” mtm “I know that dance.” aald the buy.

From pioneer habit he awoke before dawn, and for a moment the softness where he lay puzzled him,* but be could smell the dawn and he started to spring up. He felt hot and stuffy, though Harry h.id put up his windows, and he could not lie tliere wide hwnke.

In stinctively he had picked up his rifle, bullet-pouch and " powder-horn. An hour later he loped back on his own tracks. At the front door Harry hailed, him and Barbara came running out. “I forgot to get you another suit of clothes last night,” he said, “and we were scared this morning. We thought you had left us, and Barbara there nearly cried.” Barbara blushed now and did not deny. “Come to breakfast!" she cried. '‘Did you find anything to shoot?” Harry asked. “Nothin’ but some squirrels," said the lad. Then Hugh came In pale of faco and looking rather ashamed. He went straight to the Kentuckian. “I was rude to you last night and I owe you an apology.” He thrust out blr hand and awk wardly the hoy rose and took It. “And you’ll forgive me, too.

Hugh then turned to his wine and be- igan soon to look more flushed and/ •sulky. Shortly after the ladies left, Hugh followed them, and Harry and the Kentuckian moved toward the head of the table where the men had gathered around Colonel Dale. “Yes,” said General Willoughby, “it looks as though it might come.” “With due deference to Mr. Brock ton,” said Colonel Dale, “it looks as though his country would force us to some action." . They were talking about Impending war. Far away as his wilds were, the hoy had heard some talk of war In them, and he listened greedily to the •quick fire of question and argument directed to the Englishman, who held his own with such sturdinqp* that Colonel Dale, fearing the Wat “might become too groat, laughed and aklll folly shifted the theme.

He went over to the two hoys and put his arm around Hugh’s shoulder. “Tut, tut, my boys,” he, said, with pleasant firmness, and led Hugh away, and when General Willoughby would have followed, the colonel nodded him back .wltfi a smile,, and Hugh was seen no more that night. The guests left with gayety, smiles and laughter, and every one gave the stranger a kindly goodby. Again Harry went with him to his room and the “ lad stopped under the crossed swords. “You fight with ’em? T want to learn how to use them."
