CHAPTER XVIII.
hktakkn.
IWAS awakened by the kick of a
heavy boot ami, Opening my eyes,
looked b?<o the face of Tom Jny
COX. The expression of fiendish
Joy that shone through anxious caution
froze the very marrow of my bones.
Tbo muzzle of Iii? revolver was within
a few Inches of my forehead, and his
look told mo that a word of alarm or (I
motion for self defense would he a sig
nal for a bullet to go crashing through
my brain.
"Git up," he whispered.
I stood on my feet.
"Move on."
It was the dawn of Q beautiful spring
morning. The perfume of young ver
dure, the Iwilier of buds, rtii ?n>.i
slonal eoek crow In the distance, gave
l\c the thought that It is delightful to
live. Hut they threw over nie as well
a contrasting gloOUl, for It seemed cer
tain that this fair scene was the last,
of those pictures drawn by the divinely
artistic hand of the' Creator that I
Bhould ever look upon. My'companions
were all wrapt In a heavy slumber.
Induced by a long period of unrest.
I bado a mute farewell to each as l
passed, breathing n blessing on little
Buck, whose arms were clasped about
Ida sister, his young face ami (Ig?i'C
relaxed; on Jnquellnc, her white face
resting in a prol usion of tumbled black
hair; on Helen, her features strong
even In sleep. There was a line be
tween the lids of IIdim's eyes, but I
thought little of that, for U is not un
usual for people (o show this line when
sleeping. I thanked God that my pres
ence would no longer be a menace to
these dear ones who Had suffered so
much for me.
Jaycox inarched nie out of the camp
toward the road, across It and Into a
wood on the other able, where his horse
was picketed to a tree. He was con
stantly looking about and listening,
and I inferred this was for others of
the gang, who had doubtless separated
in order to cover mor^o ground in their
search for us. Filially the brute Stood
still and, pointing his revolver straight
at me, Ured two shots in rapid sin e. .
sion, the bullets sinking close to my
ears. He did not Intend to kill me,
though he was Indifferent Whether be
did or not. He wished to serve a dou
ble purpose of Signaling the band and
Intimidating me. Two similar shots
were tired far to the north, and then
my captor started oil' with me in that
direction.
Entering the road, we proceeded. Jay
cox, some ten yards behind me. amus
ing himself by QrlUg occasional shots
at me, evidently trying to see how
near he coidd come to me with ait l it
ting me. One of his bullets grazed my
ear, and I felt blood trickling on my
collar, good evidence that he had miss
ed his Imaginary mark on tbo wrong
side. He was doubtless tiring for his
double purpose of letting his compan
ions ((now of Ills whereabouts and of
torturing me. Ills signals and those of
my other enemies were drawing nearer
and nearer together. I did not doubt
that the guerrillas would prevent any
further opportunity for escape by mur
dering mo at once, though they might
delay long enough to force nie to sign
for a ransom which would have no
effect In saving me. I lost all care
whether Jaycox hit me or whether 1
was spared for n more horrible death
by the gang. At last I was face to face
wltb thu ine\ Itablc.
I was trudging on mechanically, my
eyes bent on the grounl, Jaycox close
behind ?.wearing mid shooting at me,
when suddenly n shot rang out from
behind us both. I turned and saw Jay
cox tumble from the saddle. Running
to where he lay, I bent over him and
knew at once that I looked into tbo
face of a dying man. lie gave mo ono
ma'lgnnnt look, a shiver passed over
him, and his eyes were set lu death.
I looked up and saw Helen standing
in the road a short distance back with
a carbine In her hands. There was
something In the expression of her
face, holding as she did the weapon, a
light smoke curling from Its muzzle,
that brought vividly before nie my cue
my with his smoklug fplstol on the
night of the massacre. & signal shot
came from around the .trees so near
that we knew the reel of the band
would soon be upon Quick as
thought I sprang luto thfl saddle left
vacant by Jaycox and spurred toward
Helen, she darting Into tit* wood, I fol
lowing and, nfter penetrating far
enough, both hiding hehIM a rock cov
ered with brush.
A horseman came dasltfwg down the
road, pulled up beside i U/eox's body,
looked around nnxlousty as though
fearing an nnibusb< the* fturrled back
whence he came.
With one impulse Helen Mid I sprang
Into each other's arms. Oh, tho rap
ture of that embrace! I essayed to
speak to her, to utter cvm a word, an
exclamation expressive or what I felt.
I could ouly draw he? check down
against mluo and mutely fahl It there.
Then I showered kisses on her lips, In t
cheeks, her forehead, lief eyes. F< r
tho moment I forgot nil but the rev< r
ence, the gratitude, the [turning pas
Bloil, that thrilled me -a passion B?ch
as cornea but once, If cv^r, In a in
time.
Suddenly there came to Helen a re
memhrnnce of our danger.
r:"Mountl Quick! All depends on put
ting space between you and those ivh i
Will kill you the moment they get their
hands on you again!"
"And leave you? Not I!"
"Oh, my (Jod! Are you going to act
that way again?"
"You have hilled Jaycox and released
me a second time* Do you suppose they
will overlook <haP?"
She became frantic at my opposition.
"You fool! Von Ingratol To throw
away your life when I have twice saved
It"
"Wo will go together. Hero, put your
foot In my hand. Once In the saddle,
^ you can ride away, while I can go as
fast on foot ns you."
V^lork!"
wThere were Hounds of horse, ' hOoffl

In mute astonishment rode towurd us.
' "What In the name of"?
"Your men where are they?" gasped
Helen.
"1 ba.VO "o men. I Kent them back

"Then dismount, captain," l said,
"and by quick, There are guerrillas up

"Oh, captain." cried Helen, "a life?
both our lives nie at stake!"
"What enn 1 do fo* yo'?" nsked the
captain, at !ast Impressed with our ex
cited appearance.
By this time thO guerrillas bad come
up to JayCOX'8 body and stood alter
nately looking at it and casting glances
Into ih" wood on either side of the
road. They raised him, felt of his
heart, knew that he was dead aud
dropped him.
"It's Jnyedx," l whispered to the
captain. "He kidnaped mo today a
second time. This brave girl followed
and shot him. In a few minutes they
will scour tbo wood. We have but one
horse. It will never carry us both
swiftly enough for escape."
"I relinquish my horse with pleasure,
of eo'so. May 1 assist"?
Helen's fool was In my hand and sho

Then 1 sprang upon the other horse.
"Would you oblige me." the captain
called after us as we hurried away,
"by Informing mo where I can Qud

"Over there. In a pocket between

join them later."
1 can see him now, with his hand on

Jaquellue In the Cumberland moun
tains.
Helen and I, riding side by side,
dashed through brush, between trees,
over rocks, runnels, rotting trunks of
trees, our only thought to put space
between us and our enemies. Sho was
riding on u man's saddle, sldewlse,
luckily supported by n high pommel
and bolster, keeping her balance as if
bred to the "ring." I reached out my
hand. She gave mo hers to press, and
a lover's look, Intensified by our dan
ger, shot between us. It was only for
an Instant, for so rough was the
ground, so numerous tbo obstructions,
that we were obliged to keep our eyes
constantly Axed ahead. There had bee
exciting moments since my first ab
duction, but nothing like the wild ex
hilaration thnt thrilled mo now. I for
got the harrier that was still between
us, thinking only that If this one ride
were' successful years of bappluesa

Wondering If wo were followed, I
drew rein and listened. We could dls

I had not dismounted, and spurred
my horse a few hundred yards west
ward, where I paused on the verge of
tho plateau. The sun was rising at my
back and was pouring a Hood of light
on tho lowlands a thousand feet below.
I swept my eye over tho rolling fields
and woodland dotted with towns, vil
lages, hamlets and many a fair planta
tion, with Its manor house surrounded
by the huts of the field hands. Far In
the distance was a snakellkc lino In
tho road, moving forward, It seemed,
as a reptile crawls?the cavalry that
we had so nearly caught the day be
fore, now on their way back to Join
tho main force. I longed for a speak
ing trumpet sonorous enough to reach
them, but there was no hope for us
now in them, and 1 brushed away dis
appointment and made a survey of the
ground directly before me?nothing but
steep Incline, so thickly wooded that
the character of the ground was com
pletely hidden. On either hand was a
mountain spur, between which ran a
creek. I hesitated between taking one
of these spurs and following the bed
of the creek. On the spurs we might
be seen; by the creek we would be con
cealed under the trees. I decided In
favor of the latter. Returning to camp,
I Informed the party of my decision.
"Will you Join us, Captain Beau
mont?" I asked.
"I've been hunting fo' yo' all fo'
days," replied the captain, looking at
Jack. "Now I've found yo', I'm not
likely to pnrt with yo'I Together wo
can Whip the guerrillas."
"Not a dozen of them. Besides, wo'vo
had enough of that."
"What are you going to do with tho
horses?" asked Helen.
"Mount the ladles," suggested tho
captain.
"Thank yo'," observed Jack, "but I
don't care to ride on a horso with his
nose pointing to China and his tail at
the stars."
"No one could ride a horso over such
a route," said I. "I'll take care of tho
stock."
I tethered them In tho llttlo pocket
wo were leaving, knowing that they
were less likely to betray our where
abouts to our enemies there than If I
turned them loose.
"They'll starve," Jack remonstrated.
"I can't help It."
'?They shall notl"
"Conic, we have no timo to lose."
But Jack set about collecting what
little grass was to bo had and piling it
noforc them. The captain, seeing her
determination, was soon on his knees
gathering grass and throwing it In her
apron.
"I hope tho delay will not cost us our
lives," I grumbled. "Now, Ginger, I
want you to go off to the right Just as
far as you can and still keep me In
sight. Buck, you go to tho left and do
tho same, but keep close, for it won't
do for us to all to each other."
"Jack can make all sorts o' nolsea?

"GoodI We may have occasion to

"With pleasure, sir."
"Ho'll go to sleep," remarked Jnck,
"and bo left behind."
"Not with you In front," said the exp

I gave the order to move. Making as
llttlo noise as possible, keeping each
other in sight, except occasionally,
when the trees and underbrush Wei.
too thick, we proceeded to tho brow of
tho plateau. Descending, wo soon
struck the creek and, under cover of
tho trees, proceeded downward In open
order, walking rapidly, keeping a sharp
lookout abend and on the Hanks. We
had not gone far before on owl hooted
behind me, and so natural was the cry
that, had I not been expecting It, I should
hover have suspected It to have come
from tho throat of Joquelino. Turn
ing, I saw both girls pointing upward.
On tho very edge of the declivity and
not far from whero we had begun our
descent a man was looking down from
tho plateau. Wo were so protected
that ho could not see us, for, besides
being among tho trees, we were In
comparative shadow, while tho man
above stood out boldly In tho light. lie
did not look like a guerrilla, but we
hurried on.
Discovering a great ndvantago In
Jack's slgunls, I culled in tho flankers
and the rearguard and arranged with
them that Jack was to travel with mo
as trumpeter.. Tho hoot of an owl
would mean "hTde," a woodpecker's
rapping "rally on tho center," tho notes
of a thrush "tnko a back track," a hen's
cackling "push forward In hasto."
These signals being perfectly under

llko a central sun and satellites.
Wo had mado tho principal part of
tho descent, when, com inj; to a conven
ient spot, I ordered a halt for rest, feel
ing u confidence that. f had not felt
since my abduction?a confidence I
should not have yielded to, for wo were
yet far from safety. Tho place of our
halt was a delightful angle In the

was soon Joined by Captain Beaumont,
whose Infatuation prevented him from
thinking Of aught else, even our com
mon danger. Buck stretched himself
under a short mountain oak, clasped
his hands under his hind, threw one
ieg over the beni knee of the other and
looked straight up Into the hraiuhes.
Helen and I were thus left Kfone. We
sat down 00 the hank of the creel; in
view of the bubbling stream. Taking
a slender stick in her hand, Helen be
gan to thrash the water. I saw thnt
she was troubled, and I knew the
cause. The harrier between us, which

faded out of sight, now loomed up
again as ominously as ever. We sat
without speaking, .lack and the cap
tain were chatting briskly, every now
und again speaking loud enough for us
to hear some word that told of the cap
tain's euthrallmont. The silence he
tween Helen and myself grew painful.
1 could say nothing to break the spell.
I could hut mutely express what 1 felt.
Reaching out, 1 took her hand and
drew her to me.
A shot!
Looking upward to the plateau, 1 saw
a horseman dashing off to the spur
north of us, whose ridge led to the level
ground we were approaching. It was
plain that we had been discovered, that
the shot was a signal and the horseman
was going to head us off.
The t rouble had all C0i20 from Buck.

among the hraiuhes nnd, leaning far
out where the bright sun could shine
directly on him, grasped iQr tie' treas

watching from the plateau, discovered
him.
Calling the party together, I gave the
order to push forward; not that there

one of whom was appalled at this re
lapse Into t!ie frightful dangers they
had so long endured, though Captain
Beaumont Phowed only Irritation at
having his t to-n-teto with Jack Inter
rupted.
We had not gone far'before we struck
n path running parallel with the creek,
which led ua to a hamlet on a road
leading north and south. There were
but half n dozen houses In the place.
Including a sin.ill country store and a
blacksmith shop. Beforo entering the
town wo consulted as to what we
should do.
"Get horses," I proposed, "If there Is
time."
"Or n horse nnd wagon," said Helen.
"I reckon wo better hide," was Buck's
proposition.
"Lef's get clothes," suggested Jack,
"nnd dress up like village people."
I looked at Helen. Jack's proposi
tion appeared to strike her with the
same force It struck me. Of all things
the guerrillas would expect, us to do,
disguising OUVSClvcs and going about
the town as if we belonged there would
be the last.
"Done!" .1 snld ns we end red the
place. "Scatter. Tell the people the

through Illinois that the conductor of
the traiu ou which tho Kansas mau
rode was a loiuier Bchoolmutc of bis.
The conductor recognized Williams,
but Williams didn't recogni/.o the con

the ttt<>ry hangs.
"Mr. Smith," said the conductor,
after working bis truiu uud returuiug
to have a chat with his passenger from
Kansas, " 1 see you are from Topeka.
Did you ever know u mun out there by

''Yes, I know him very well," re

gain his composuro. " Yes, Williatua
is considerable of a fellow out there.
He's attorney-geuoral of the State."
" Who, Williams? Attorney-gen

" What kind of a people are they out

VYkustkii on TUX Takut.?In con- |
ucctiou with McKinloy'b hint speech a i
correspondent of tho Chicago Chroul
clo publishes-the following extract from .
a Bpeech by Daniel Webster delivered
in 1824 (8?Hto pupers by P, W. Taussig,
page 801):
" Some other gentlemen in tho
coiu8o of the debate have spoken of
the price paid for ovcry foreign manu
factured article as so much given for
the eucouragemeut of foreign labor to
the prejudieo of our own. But is not
every such article tho product of
our own labor as truly an if wc had
manufactured it ourselves? Our labor
has earned it and paid tho price f jr it.
It is so much added to the stock of
national wealth. If the commodity
wero dollars nobody would doubt the
truth of this remark, and it is precisely
as correct in its application to any
other commodity as to silver. One
man makes a yard of cloth at home,
another raises agricultural products and
buys a yard of imported cloth. Uoth
these are equally the earnings of do
mestic industry, and the only questions
that arise in the case are two. The
llrat is, which is tho best mode under
all the circumstances of obtaining the
article; the second is, how far this
question w proper to be decided by
Government, and how far it is proper
to be left to individual discretion,
There is no foundation for the distinc
tion which attributes to certain em
ployments the peculiar appellation of
American industry, * and it is, lu my
judgnieul, extremely unwise to attempt
such discriminations."
