CHAPTER V— Continued
— 10—
There was a murmur of assent as
the meeting broke up.
“One moment, your excellency." I In­
terposed. "I have also a letter from
Master Juggins for the Honorable Cad-
wallader Colden of your council—If he
Is here."
“Indeed, he la," assented the gover­
nor. "A moment. If you please. Col­
den."
A thin, bustling man. with very
bright black eyes and a dark com­
plexion detached himself from the ex­
odus and resumed his chair. His nerv­
ous fingers quickly tore loose the enve­
lope of the letter I handed him. and
he began devouring Its contents, re­
gardless of the confusion around him.
“Until tomorrow, gentlemen!"
The governor bowed the council out.
and shut the door upon the last of
them. He beckoned me forward.
“Sit here beside us. Master Ormerod
—for so I see you are rightly named,
although you traveled under Master
Juggins’
name.
Master
Juggins
vouches for you. That Is sufficient for
me. What say you, Colden?"
"Quite sufficient." agreed the sur­
veyor general. “Do yon wish me to
remain, sir?"
"Certainly. Glad to have you. Now.
Master Ormerod. do you tell us as
fully as you may what you know of
Murray. Master Juggins hath slated
you for a prominent part. I respect
hla Judgment, but more than our Im­
mediate fortune hinges npon the Issue
of what we do. and I must know all.”
I recounted the circumstances of my
meeting with Juggins, the hearing be­
fore the lords of trade and the in­
cidents of the voyage, not forgetting
Tom's assault upon me and the
strange bargain I had made with Mur­
ray.
“Then are yon safe from denuncia­
tion," broke In the governor. "We
think little of Hanoverian or Jacobite
In New Tork. Here. Master Ormerod,
yon will find only Englishmen laboring
to wrest a living from the wilderness
and to extend their country’s power
and richness. What you were matters
little. T Is what you are we Judge
you by.
“The bargain was typical of Murray.
He Is no ordinary villain. Already he
hath persuaded the discontented ele­
ments In the province that I would
take the bread from their mouths by
stopping his trade. But he knows well
that I would leap upon the excuse to
lay him by the heels, and he will see
to It that no suspicion of your past
escapes.” -
“He threatened me with the Red
Heath this morning," I sqld. "Can you
tell me what he meant by It?"
•• 'TIs a saying of the frontier," ex­
plained the governor. •‘They call red­
headed Bolling and Murray's negro,
Tom, the Bed and the Black Deaths,
for Murray Is charged with having
used them to remove from his path
those persons he considers dangerons
or whom he honors with his dislike."
“In the crowd I also heard talk of
the Doom Trail," I continue,!.
Governor Burnet smiled grimly.
“That Is the popular name for the
route by which Murray smuggles his
trade goods to Canada. ’TIs said to
be the sealing of a man's doom If he
geeks the trail or any information con­
cerning It."
“Has the traffic been suspended dur­
ing M urray’s absence?” I asked.
“No,” replied the governor. “Boll­
ing and Black Robe have kept It In
motion."
“And who Is Black Itobe?"
The governor laughed outright.
"You are red-hot for dangerous In
formation. Master Ormerod.

according to some of the tales our
agents bring, shares with Murray the
