CHAPTER Tl 1 1. (Conurutu ) Meanwhile Sylvia had race I at full pecd over the straight stretch of road be:ween her home and Dave's. She knew every inch of it, by night as well as day. end she was fearless. Dave's room was liver the kitchen, and open on to n lighty sloping shed. She climbed upon tliis by aid of the woodpile nud tapped gently at first on the w indow pane, then knocked more loudly and spoke his name. "Dave: Dave! Wake up: I am here! Sylvia!" He heard this eager but subdued call and sat up, scarcely believing his ears. "Come down, Dave:" she said, imperatively. "Out to the burn!" When he reached there, having followed her down the roof, he found that she had lighted a lantern and was" nervously putting the saddle on his horse Dick. "Help me, Dave," she begged, "and hurry! Delight has gone, and yon must help father and the boys find her!" "Gone:" he said after her, iu a hollow voice, reaching mechanically for the bridle which she took down from its nail aud banded to him. "Gone, where'" "We don't kuow yet. Oh, Dave, why don't you hurry faster':" He groaned aloud, "Ob, Sylvia!" the poor fellow almost sobbed; "it's no use for me to go now. You forget " "No, I don't forget," she replied, promptly, brushing away the tears that rolled down over bcr cheeks, "and she doesn't forget, either. She's ouly bewitched with Mr. Redcoat. When she sees you, she'll come buck, Dave; she can't help it. Why, she's known you always! Oh, how I wish you had believed what 1 told you long ago! Here. I can't get this strap tight enough. There! that's all. Now, Dave hurry back to our house! Father will know what to do." He led the horse out of the barn and Sylvia held the bridle while he went to t,:. , ,i..o ,p fnlti- She lean

heck nnd cried bitterly.

Dave soon returned and leaped into the j laddie. Bending down, he held out bis j land to her. "Up behind me, Sylvia!" Then, seeing er surprise, he smiled for the first time. , 'Did you think you were to be left be- i tind?" he asked. i She nlnccd her foot on his, and with a ;

light spring, was firmly seated behind Dim, holding on to his waist, n common position for the women folks of her day. "I didn't think of myself nt all," she aid in answer. These simple words showed Dave more clearly than anything else had ever done the widely differing natures of the two girls. Timothy Lcland had found the hopedfor trace, aud was about starting out on It when Dave rode up. It was a narrow passageway through some tall grass behind the barn, lending across a meadowlot out on to a back road, which, by a circuitous detour, come iuto the Boston road a mile or more away. After consultation it was decided that two of the four should take this road and two the highway, meeting at their junction. "Get "your pistols, boys," said their father, briefly. Dave's heart sank. "I'll go over for Roger," he said, giving Dick the rein. Roger was awakened by his headlong racing, nnd was nt his window by the time he beard Dave's voice. Dressing hastily, he found his horse already saddled, and the two were sooon galloping on to overtake Israel Leland. It was comfort unspeakable to poor Dave to kuow that Roger, the friend of his whole life, his wiser, better self, was by his side in this terrible, trying hour. The three rode abreast in silence, now and then senrching the road for tracks, occasionally halting to listen intently for some sound of voice or hoofbeat which might loeote the runaways. When they reached the meeting place Harvey was awaiting them. "We have found clear traces that they left this road some distance back and turned in across lots. Father thinks it better that we go on together from that point." By constant use of lanterns and by sharp outlook they kept on for some distance, sure of the way. At the entrance to a shallow bit of woodland, Roger's lantern showed to his watchful eye something white lying on the ground. It proved to be a linen handkerchief, with the letters "D. L." embroidered in one corner. They looked at this mute evidence without comment. "Let us press on," Timothy said, after a little; "day will soou break. 'Tis no unusual thing for half a dozen horsemen to be going in haste over the higl way, day or night. Should they hear us, they will not suspect pursuit as at uuother time. We can safely ride harder." They went forward at a quick gallop. At the next pause Dave fancied that he heard in some thick woods on their left a horse's whinny. It was faint, almost muffled, but he was sure of it. Speaking Boftly to his companions, they drew nearer aud bent their ears ill close attention. Again it came unmistakably on the fresh morning breeze, which blew coolly u ;aiust their flushed faces. " 'Tis Fentherfoot's very self," cried Israel, in strong excitement. "I'd know her tone among a thousuud!" "It is likely enough," said his fntther. "Having come thus far in safety, they feel It wise, perchance, to rest l bit. 'Twonld not be my way." "Were iny sister not with them my pistol would soon speak to the scoundrels in plain fashion," muttered Harvey, lingering his weapon. "How can we use them as it is, father?" "Time will show us, my son. Aboveeverything, secure Delight's safely. After that " His pause was sufficiently explicit. They npproaelied cautiously to lhe edge of the woods. Oi.ee more they heard the whinny this time still more unililed. Dave and Harvey dismounted mid crept with extreme care through he underbrush. After going straight in for some di.-t.'iii.-c they crossed a sort of cleared path, hy which the parly had evidently entered. Soon after they heard voices and saw through the hushes figures moving alimit in a small open space. Something had apparently happened to Delight's saddle, which was being mended. Dave stole near enough to see her face distinctly by the light of the dark lantern which she wits holding while the work was being (lone. He strained his eyes to see the others of the group, but the light was too dim for him to make them out. He recognized, however, the smooth voice of the quasi peddler, and his blood boiled within his veins. He was unarmed, nnd Delight's nearness would have protected the the redcoat had it beeu orht-rwis?, but

for the first nnd only time iu his life, there

was murder in David Townsend's heart.

lien lie heard the horse crashing away

through the- bushes. It was the work of ail instant for him to rush back to the road, mount his horse and sturt iu pursuit. The others followed him and tore along at full speed. Dawn was already peeping over the tree tops, giving soft light l,y oiiich they coil I discern far ahead the tlyiiid horse and his double burden. At the first turn in the road they lost him. Had the earth opened nnd swallowed him up bodily he could tot have disappeared m.TC completely. Whether they had turned in some byroad, or hidden behind some friendly bara until their pursuers passed, seeking then the shelter of a house where they were sure of assistance, the searchers could not tell. Two houses within sight were known to be the homes of those who, without n.-tual proof, were believed to be strong sympathizers with the royalists. "Would it not be well to make inquiry, father'" suggested Israel. Timothy Leland shook his head. "It is enough," he replied, sternly, though his face was white and pitiful. "I cannot ask for my own daughter nt the hands of my country's foes. And men have other things to do this dny than to seek for an umlutifui child. She has made deliberate choice. Let her henceforth be as dead to us. I thank you all for what you have done this night for me and mine." He bowed to them in a courteous way and rode on before them, bent by a grief which could not b. expressed in words. As they came to t:ic woods where Dave

"All shall be done exactly as yon wish. I, myself, go now with your brothers to bring his body home. Your mother will lead you to take the rest you so sorely need, nud may God comfort yot, my dear one." He held her close to his breast and kissed her forehead many times iu a rare caress.

DISCOVtRINGTTlEGHbST." One Method of Oetting Rid of Un canny Nocturnal VUttauta. "When bouses are haunted the usual cure for tb- utiuoyiince Is to have them partly rebuilt and rechrlstened," w rites Fletcher Moss, ill his "Folk-Lore, Customs and Tales." Another method Is that used by Mr. Moss when he became the owner of the old parsonage of liidsbury, which hud a bad reputation fur beiug hail n ted. When Mr. Moss first went to the house the noises Iu the night were extraordinary; bells were rung when everyone was asleep, there were sounds its if a body had fallen, squeals and screams were heard, followed by a rush as though cavalry were galloping.

The rats nightly Invaded the house, jumped down on the celling, used the bell wires ns parallel bars, rang the bells, squealed, moaned, ami If alarmed rushed away like frightened sheep. One night Mr. Moss wus roused by his mother. There was something in Iiei" bedroom that every few- moments gave a piercing scream. He sat down by her bedside ami waited. It was n dark night, wild aud windy. He dozed off and was suddenly nwakeued by a horrible shriek, which died away in Jerks. A thorough search revealed nothing, nnd he again waited, but wide awnkc. Again the scream came, piercing, blood-curdling. Thinking It came from the window, and might lie the bowl of a maniac outside, he got behind the curtain and waited. A wild scream clone to his ear almost stopped the beatlug of his heart. Pulling himself together, he found the "ghost." There was a fractured pane of glass, the cracked piece being of the shape of nu isosceles triangle, with the equal

had seen Delight he turned to them aud said: "It may be well for one of you to visit the spot of their rendezvous. Something may have been left which we should secure. Harvey, my son, will you do this'" Harvey dismounted and disnpiieared beyond the undergrowth, but very soon came back with horror depicted on his countenance. "Come," he said, hoarsely, "all of you." Silently they obeyed his brief summons. Reaching the place indicated by him, they saw first the trampled grass aud weeds, tluu u few articles scattered about, aud Featherfoot tied to a sapling. A little farther on, and now clear daylight coming down through the branches of the trees fell softly ou the upturned features of a man who lay at their feet. It was Gilbert Merridale, aud he w as dead. With awe-stricken hearts they gazed di)wn at the handsome face of their foe, w ho was yet dearly loved by Desire. The distressed father knelt beside him and tried if it were possible that his life pulsef were still beating. Hut no throbbing of the valiant young heart rewarded his endeavor. "The hand of my God is heavy upon me," he said, brokenly. "Which oue of yon fired?" Each in turn replied iu the negative. "Thank heaven my swee: Desire has not that memory to embitter her sorrow. The shot aimed at our hearts hy Delight's lover put nn eud to this life. Truly the ways of the Almighty arc past finding out. Some one must stay here while we make fitting preparations for the removal of the body." He looked from one to another in uncertainly. "1 would crave the sad duty, sir," said Roger Stediunn, stepping forward. "And I will remain to beur him company," added Dave, laying his baud on Roger's shoulder. Timothy Leland opened his lips to speak, but as he looked inlo the two faces scarcely less dear to him than those if his own sons and thought of all the hopes and wishes conic to umight, his voice failed him. A mist swam before his eyes. He clasped their hands closely for an instant aud left them. Followed by Harvey and Israel, he mounted his horse and the three rode on side by side to carry the sorrowful message home. Sylvia came out to meet them, but the question she was about to nsk was stayed on her lips. She walked beside her father iu fear nud trembling on his way to the house. "1 would speak with you all," he said to her. When they had assembled he weut to Desire and look her by the hand. "My daughter," he said, striving hard to keep his toue s'endy, "your heavenly Father, in His wisdom aud love, has laid on your young shoulders a burden heavy to be borne. May He give you of His strength and grace to bow submissively to His will. Your sister bus left Is. Henceforth her life will be spent w th the one whom she has chosen. Your lover, my beloved child, has also left us, but his spirit has returned to its Creator!" Spoken with the utmost tenderness, this evil tidings fell upon her startled ears. Her father felt her whole body quiver, saw her face Idauih, read the anguish in her beautiful eyes. He put his arm about her, and would have led her to her mother, bill she stayed him. "Not yet, lather. Tell me the whole truth every wold. I can bear to hear it.'' So amid the hall' stilled sobs of Mistress Esther and Sylvia and the frightened cryiug of little Dolly, he t dd her the pitiful truth, concealing uotlibig making no comment. "Poor Delight! I hope she may never know," murmured Desire, softly. "'Tis worse for her than for me." Then iu u moment she asked: "Where is he, father? I must be with him till the very end." "He lies under the elms in Berry's woods. Roger mid Dave are there. He shull be brought t our home, my daughter, and buried as though he had beeu in very truth as he was in spirit our beloved son." The tears came now and brought relief from the intense strain of the unnatural calm she had shown. Leaning ugaiust him she let them hare full course.

Versified Excuses. - "Bill Illue of Number Two," the engineer who made a rhymed report of au accident, reminds a correspondent of a freight conductor who dropped iuto poetry when his own train was in trouble. "Number Eight" Is the fastest eastbound train on one of the great trunk lines. Nothing Is more annoying to the authorities of the road than to have this train delayed, even for five minutes, hy iu Terror trains. But It happened that it was once detained for fifteen minutes nt Friendship, New York little town on the Allegheny division by a weKt-lMjuuu irciguu The deley whs of course reported by the conductor of Number F.lght to the superintendent at HornelUvllIe, and the superintendent Immediately telegraphed the guilty freight conductor, asking why the "flyer" had been detained. The freight conductor, a wag with a turn for rhyme, sent back the following reply: The wind was high; the steam was low; The train was henry and hard to tow; The coal was poor, 'twas mostly slate Hence the detention of "Number Eight.'' But the conductor's "poem" did not save him from doing penance ten days off duty, without pay. Youth'
