When Hearts Were Brave, and True

CHAPTER VI. POLLY RESORTS TO STRATEGY. During Polly’s absence Roblin had been summoned to join the outlaws in a glade where they had previously j gone to prepare their horses, so that when she returned to the cave it was deserted. Knowing that he was to accompany the expedition, however, she divined the reason for his absence, and sat down on a conch of bearskins to ponder. A hundred wild projects to ontwit the bandit’s purposes hurried one after toother through her mind, bat all were impracticable and had to be abandoned. She began to despair, and then a terrible apprehension seized upon her. What if Clandins Smith should put his diabolical scheme in exeention before she coaid invent a plan to thwart it? She was aware that Caleb Shurker had been the cause of her lover’s imprisonment and that his wife had abandoned Roblin for the old miser at a time when he was languishing in jail on her account. But as these wrongs had been the means of turning his heart to her, Polly harbored no ill feelings toward them. In fact, she pitied Zadie profoundly for having sacrificed herself to the commands of her tyrant father, and, now that she was threatened with disaster, was ready to run any risk to save her. But how could this be accomplished ? In vain had she endeavored to devise means. Indeed the more she reflected on the problem the greater became her bewilderment, nntil at last the utter hopelessness and helplessness of her position inspired her to take a desperate chance. Her plan was to make a catspaw of Richard Smith. She knew that the outlaw loved her in his brutal way and hoped that she’ might persuade him to assist her by pretending to return bis affection. “The wretch is far too stupid to suspect me,” she reasoned, and will willingly lend himself to my purposes. I only hope the expedition will not start until I have had a chance to try him.” So, hastily throwing a shawl over her shoulders, she left the cavern and crossed the Tl at f° rm toward the place of council. She observed that the conference had just come to an end, as the officers were dispersing in various directions. She observed further —and the sight made her heart beat quickly —that Richard Smith was advancing in her direction and that he was alone. “Out for a stroll, my fair charmer?’ he inquired as he drew near. “Yes; I have come out to see your expedition start,’’ she answered, with a pleasant smile. “Oh, we shall not Jeave nntil after dark I” said the outlaw. “And then," she returned timidly. “I suppose I will be left alone to the mercy of wild beasts. ” “Ye need have no fear on that score.” returned the outlaw, with a coarse laugh. “A guard will be4eft behind to protect ye." “You are very kind, I am sure,” said Polly demurely. Then, with an air of well feigned anxiety, she asked earnestly, “Is it true that my companion is going on this expedition?” “Do you mean your lover?” This with a scowl The girl pretended to be annoyed at the question and answered scornfully: “My lover, indeed 1 I am tired of his love. In fact, since I have been in this place l have seen that he is not flie only man in the world worth loving.” Here she dropped her eyes modestly upon the ground. “What’s that ye say?” cried the outlaw excitedly. “Ye don’t love Roblin? Ye’ve seen another more to your fancy?” Polly laid her little hand gently upon his arm and beaming upon him coquettishly answered: “Yes; I have seen a man here whom I would marry tomorrow if he would only help me to escape from Edward Roblin. ” The outlaw’s face became livid with suppressed passion. “Who is he? His name?" he cried in a choked voice. She drew back from him in alarm, but, quickly controlling this feeling, replied with an air of assumed confusion

Polly laid her little hand gently upon hie arm.

“You know who he is very well, Richard, ao there is no need of my telling you. ” At this he broke into a horrible laugh

of triumph that sent a shiver through the girl's frame. “Oh. I know who ye mean now,’ be roared. “It’s me. Polly—me. Well, so ye want me to help ye get rid cf Roblin? Why. I’ll kill him if ye say so. lass. ” “No. don’t do that." she replied quickly, while her face grew white with apprehension. “I have a far better plan in view. Will you promise to do just what I tell you?” “If I can, my pretty charmer, yes, ” “Well. then, listen,” she went on eagerly. “Edward Roblin will leave me to go on this raid tonight, and I will be alone. I will never have a better chance to escape from him. If yon manage to arrange it with the men who will be left to gnard me I am sure I can find my way to the traiL Have a horse awaiting me there tied to a tree near the clearing, and aB soon after the expedition starts as possible I will make my way to the clearing, secure the animal and ride off to some place where you can meet me. ” “But I'll have to go along with this expedition or else lose my command in the band,” he objected. “Of course you will,” replied Polly, “for it would be cowardly to hold back at such a time. What I mean is that you are to join me on your return, and then we can go to a dominie and get married. Do you approve of my little plot?” There was something so fascinating in the idea of eloping with this charming girl that Richard Smith became frantic with delight. “It’s great. Polly! Great 1” he roared. “Do I approve of it? Aye, that I do, and ye can depend on me to fix the guards and have the horse in readiness. ”

“Very well, then,” she answered, smiling upon him sweetly. “I will meet you at the Indian rock between here and Goshen.” Then, deeming it advisable to end their interview, she waved him an adieu and hurriedly returned to the cavern. Up to this time she had been so carried away with enthusiasm regarding her stratagem that she had given no thought to its possible miscarriage. But new that she had an opportunity to reflect, a terrible idea occurred to her. What if she should not succeed in making her escape after all? What if her outlaw admirer should suspect her design and join her before the appointed time? She realized that if this happened she would be completely at his mercy, and the thought made her shudder with horror. While she was absorbed in these dreadful reflections Edward Roblin returned to the cabin, and she determined to tell him what she had done. So. peeping cautiously out of the entrance to make sure that no listeners were around, she drew him aside and whispered hurriedly: “I have taken a desperate step, Edward, and I want to tell you all about it. Please don’t ask me to explain my reasons, but listen. I have arranged with one of our captors to make my escape from this place tonight He has agreed to furnish me with a horse and as soon as the expedition starts I will hasten to the place where it will be awaiting me, mount it, and ride down into the valley to warn the people of the coming of these bandits. I have found out the very house they intend to plunder, and shall do my best to collect a sufficient force to defeat them. ” “You know the house. Polly?” “Yes. Edward, and I am sure you will approve of my design when you know whose it is.” “Then tell me.”

“It is Caleb Sharker’s, ” she responded, scrutinizing his face closely to mark the effect of her words. Roblin’s brow darkened vindictively “So it’s to Caleb Shurker’s we’re going?" he said with a grim smile. “Thank God for that, for I’ll now be revenged. ” At that moment a Tory thrnst his head in at the cavern’s entrance and called out “The captain sent me to fetch ye. young man. We are about to start on the raid. ’ ’ The lovers exchanged tender embraces, whispered a few hurried words of farewell and parted, both oppressed with an agonizing apprehension that it might be for the last time.

CHAPTER VIL THE ATTACK ON SHURKER’B. As it was fully 20 miles to the house of Caleb Shurker. Claudius Smith decided to start out at an earlier hour than he had at first intended, for this would enable him to advance slowly and spare the horses for the return journey. So when Roblin reached the glade where the bandits had gathered he found them already mounted for the march. Claudius turned upon him savagely. “Whatl Must we he kept waiting while ye make love, varlett Fall in the ranks, sir, and see that ye behave with spirit I" Then turning to his men he shouted “All ready, men r Forward 1" There was a rattling of arms, a trampling of hoofs, a prancing and wheeling of horses as the bandits formed in line of march and the cavalcade cantered two by two from the glade. Placing himself at its head. Clandins Smith led the way into a broad bridle path that wonnd through the forest and proceeded for about a mile at a rapid gait Then the path narrowed and the men fell in single line, picking their way along a rugged descent with their horses at a walk. As they descended lower and lower along the mountain side the sun dropped from view and gradually the twilight deepened. It grew darker and darker. One by one the stars appeared through openingajn t,he trees overhead, and at last it became difficult for the men to descry each other in the deepening gloom. At last they reached the base of the

mountains and struck into an unfre* quented byroad which ran in a northerly direction. Here they again formed two by two and proceeded at a canter until they reached a'little spring that gushed from the side of a precipice. At this place Clnndius Smith called a halt for rest and refreshment. The bandits dismounted, partook of a hasty repast and after watering their horses at the spring and quenching their own thirst with copious drafts of spirits from their canteens sprang into the saddle again and resumed their journey. About 10 in the evening they struck into a highway that wound along the base of Shawangunk mountain. Then the command for silence passed from lip to lip. and they advanced with extreme cantion nntil they came in sight of a great stone farmhouse which stood at the right of the road. The shatters were all closed, and it was evident that the inmates were sleeping. Roblin recognized it at once gs the home of Caleb Sharker, and his heart beat qnickly with a desire for vengea e. Captain Smith now called a halt and began a brief whispered consultation with his officers. Roblin was about to draw near to listen to the discussion when it was rudely interrupted by the furious barking of a dog. The faithful animal had been sleeping on the porch of the dwelling and, awakened by the approach of the Tories, now came bounding into the road, making the welkin ring with deep mouthed warnings. “Blarst the curl” exclaimed the Tory chieftain, with an oath. Then, turning quickly to his men, he bawled out hoarsely; “Surround the house, lads, and let no one escape. Be quick I’' The bandits immediately put spurs to their horses and in a few seconds had formed a complete cordon around the dwelling. Roblin had taken his station before the front door with an idea of taking an active part in the proposed attack, but while he was gazing fiercely np at the windows, gloating in anticipation of his approaching revenge, an incident occurred which completely swept away every evil purpose from his heart He saw one of the shutters on the second story open cautiously and heard a familiar voice call out in frightened tones: “What would you have, friends?” It was the voice of Zadie, not as he remembered it of yoTe, when it was mnsical with the happiness it expressed, but plaintive, subdued and indescribably mournfuL It touched him deeply. A flood of tender recollections overwhelmed him, and he resolved then and there to protect his old sweetheart ftom harm. While this sudden revolution was taking place in his heart Claudius Smith approached the window and called up to the girl in tones of mock politeness: “Good evening, Mrs. Shurker! Pardon me for disturbing yer rest, but I would like to have a few words with yer husband. ” Zadie left the window and withdrew into the apartment, and a short time afterward the shutter was flung wide open and an old man leaned out of the opening. “Well, what do ye want of me?” he asked, in a quavering voice. The outlaw threw off his mask of civility at once. “What do I want with ye?” he whined, mimicking the old man’s treble. Then, suddenly changing his tone to a deep roar, he shouted, “Open the door, ye old rascal, and let me and my brave lads in. ’’

The old man disappeared from the window like a flash, slamming the shutter to behind him, and the next instant a rattling of holts could be heard as they were hastily driven into their sockets. “Ho. ho!” cried Claudius, stamping his foot with rage. “So it’s to be an assault?” Then, turning toward his men with a gesture of command, he bawled: “Advance, my lads! Batter down the door! Smash in the windows! Make holes in the walls I Tear the house to pieces ! But get at the old varlet and drag him out of bis hole. ” In obedience to his commands the Tories sprang from their horses and rushed toward the building like a pack of hungry wolvea Some hurled themselves against the door, others endeavored to force open the shutters, while one or two. more venturesome than tha rest, climbed the pillars of the veranda and attempted to enter the house through the Windows of the second story.

Among those who chose the latter way of gaining access to the interior was Edward Roblin, for even while the Tory chief was bawling his commands he had fixed npon a plan of action. It was to get into the house before the outlaws, call npon the inmates to follow him into the attic, barricade the stairs leading thither and resist to the last gasp. Reaching the roof of the veranda before the others. he ran quickly from window to window, picking at the shutters with his saber. It was in vain. They were all firmly bolted on the inside and could not.be budged from tneir fastenings. He cast a glance upward.

A row of dormer windows projected from the sloping roof, and he observed that one of them was open. If he could only reach the roof he could easily make his way into the building through that passage. But the roof was too high up to be gained. In the meantime the men who had climbed with him upon the veranda had descended to the ground again, and he was alone He was on the point of imitating their example when his glance chanced to fall upon the crescent shaped holes which had been cut through the shutters for ventilating purposes. There were two of these perforations—one in the lower and the other in the upper panel of each shutter. By inserting his hand and feet in these apertures it was possible for an active man to raise himself to the roof.

It was a hazardous feat to attempt, but Roblin determined to undertake it Selecting a shutter underneath the window he wished to gain, he slung his musket over his shoulder and thrust his fingers and toes into the holes. Then, exerting all his strength, he raised himself up toward the gutter. Twice were his efforts baffled, but the third endeavor proved successful He managed to get a firm hold on the gutter and swing himself up to the roof. He was just in time, for at the moment he was passing through the window the front door gave way with a crash, and the Tories rushed howling into the hall. Indeed, so far as ing out his original intention was concerned, he was too late, but he might still save Zadie if he made haste. So he rushed frantically about the attic, searching in the darkness for the stairs leading down into the house. Suddenly he heard a rush of footsteps upon the stairs, and, running in the direction of the soandß. he arrived at the head of the flight jnet in time to catch Zadie in his arms as she reached the attic and fainted. Taking a firm hold on her limp form, he carried her back into the loft and laid her gently upon the floor. Then he returned to the stairs and, placing his musket and saber within reach, mounted guard at the entrance to the attic. To Be Continued.
