"And whnt nbout the other girl,
Klrby? for there la nnother Rlrl.'
"Yes," ratlier InailTerently, "there K
nnother."
"Of course you know who she Is?"
"Certainly a nigger, n white nip
gcr; the supposed Illegitimate daugh
ter of Adalbert Ueaucalre, und a slave
woman. There Is no reason why 1
should fret about her. Is there? Shi

laughed again, the samo ugly sneering
laugh of triumph. "That was why I
was so partlrulnr about tho wording ol
that bill of sale I would rather have
her than the whole bunch of field
hands."
"You believe then the girl lias never
been freed either she, or' het
mother?"
"Believe? I know. I tell you I never
play any game with my eyes shut.'
"Aihl you actually Intend to to
hold her as n slave?"
"Well, I'll look her over first before
I decide she would be worth a pot
full of money down the river."
The contemptuous, utterly Indiffer
ent manner In hlch he voiced his vll
lulnous purpose, would have crazed
any man. To mo this utterunco was
the last straw, breaking down every
restraint, and leaving mc hot, and
furious with anger. I forgot the muz-
'tie of the pistol pressed against my
side, and tho menacing threat In
Klrby's low voice. The face of the
man was Indistinct, a mere outline,
but the swift Impulse to strike at It
was Irresistible, and I let him have the
blow a Btralght-arm Jab to the Jaw.
My clinched knuckles crunched apilust
the flesh, and he reeled back, kept
from falling only by tbc support of
the deckhouse. There was no report
of a weapon, no outcry, yet, before I
could strike again, I was suddenly
gripped from behind by a pair of arms,
which closed about my throat like a
vise, throttling me Instantly Into silent
helplessness. I struggled madly to
break free, straining with all the art
of a wrestler, exerting every ounce of
strength, but tho grasp which held roe
was unyielding, robbing me of breath,
and defeating every effort to cnll.for
help. Klrby, dazed yet by my sudden
blow, grew eager to take a hand la tho
affray, struck me a cowardly blow In
the face, and swung hi undischarged
pistol to a level with my eyes.
"D you I" he ejaculated, and for
tho first Umo his oIce really ex
hlblted temper. "I'd kill you with thlsf
but for the noise. No, by God I there
Is a safer way than that to settle with
you. Have you got the skunk. Carver?"
"You can bet I have, Joe. I kin
choke the life out o' him shall I?"
"No; let up u bit Just enough so ho
can answer me first. I want to find
out what all this means. Now look
here, Knox, what Is all this to you?
Why are you butting In on my game?
Was Henucalre a friend of yours?"
"I can hardly claim that," I admit
ted. "Wc never met til I came
aboard this steamer. All I am Inter
ested hi Is Justice to others."
To others? Oh. I suppose you mean
those girls you know them then?"
"I have never even seen them," 1
Bfild.
"I sec; a self-appointed squire of
dames; actuated merely by a romantic
desire to serve beauty In distress. Ex
tremely Interesting, my dear boy. Rut,
see here, Knox," and IiIb tone changfd
to seriousness. "Let the romance go,
nnd talk sense a minute. You are not
going to get very far fighting mo alone.
Yoa haven't even got the law with you.
Kven if I cheated Ueaucalre, which I
do not for n moment admit, there Is
no proof. The money Is mine, nnd so
Is the land nnd tho niggers. You can

overturn the facts. Now, you acknowl
edge that what has occurred is per
sonally nothing to you; Ueaucalre was
so special friend, and you don't even
know the two girls all tight then,
drop the whole matter. I hold no
grudge on account of your striking me.
and am even willing to share up with
you to avoid trouble."
"And if I refuse?"
"Then, of course, wo shall bo com
pelled to shut your mouth for you.
Self-prescrvatlou Is the first law."
I looked about at them both, scarce
ly able to distinguish clearly even
their outlines in tho denso gloom. The
seriousness of the situation, coupled
with my helplessness, and Inability to
achieve the object proposed, was very
evident. It might, under tho circum
stances, have been tho part of wisdom
for me to havo sought sbme means of
compromise, but I was young, and hot,
fiery blood swept through my veins.
The words of Klrby stung me with
their breath of Insult his sneering, In
solent offer to pay mo to remain still.
"You must rank mo as one of your
own kind," I burst forth. "Now you
listen to a plain word from mo. If
(hat was Intended as an offer, I refuse
It. You, and your confederate, havo
coolly robbed Iienucnlfe, and propose

every weapon I possess."
Klrby chuckled, apparently greatly
amused.
"Quite glad. I am sure, for the dec
laration of war, righting has always
agreed with mo. Might I ask the nil
turo of those weapons?"
"That remains for you to'dlscovcr,"
I ejuculntei) shandy, exasperated by
his evident contempt. "Carver, tako
your dirty hand3 off of me."
In spile of the fact of their threat,
the ready pistol jrcsslng against my
ribs, the grip of Carver's fingers at my
throat, I did not anticipate any nctual
assault. That cither would really dare
Injure me seemed preposterous. In
deed my Impression was, that Klrby
fell such Indifference toward my at
tempt to block hid plan, that he would
penult me to pass without opposition
certainly without the slightest resort
to violence. Tho action of the two was
so swift, so concerted, as though at
some secret signal, that, almost before
I realized their purpose, they held me
helplessly struggling, nnd had forced
me back against tbc low rail. Here
I endeavored to break away, to shout
an alarm, but was already too late.
Carver's hands closed remorselessly
on mjj throat, and, when I managed to
strike out madly with one free fist, tho
butt of Klrby's pistol descended on my
head, so lacerating my scalp the drip
ping blood blinded my eyes. The blow
partially stunned me. and I half fell,
clutching at tho rail, yet dimly con
scious that the two straining men
were uplifting my useless body, Carver
swearing viciously as he helped to
thrust me outward over the wooden
bar. The next Instnnt I fell, the sneer
ing cackle of Klrby's laugh of triumph
echoing In my cars until drowned In
the splash as I struck the black water
below.
I came back to the surface dazed
and weakened, yet suniclcntly con
scious to mnke an Intelligent struggle
for life. The over-hang of the raptdly
passing boat still concealed me from
the observation of those above on the
deck, nnd the adtuntugo of permitting
them to believe that the blow on my
head had resulted In drowning, to
gether with the knowledge that I must
swiftly get beyond the stroke of that
deadly wheel, flashed Instantly through
my brain. It was like a tonic, reviving
every energy. Waiting only to Inhale
one deep breath of nlr, I plunged back
onco more Into the depths, und swam
strongly under water. Tho effort
proved successful, for when I again
ventured to emerge, gasping and ex
hausted, the little Warrior had swept
past, and become merely a shapeless
outline, barely visible above the sur
face of the river.
Slowly treading water, my lips held
barely above the surface. I drew in
deep draughts of cool night nlr, my
mind becoming more active as hope re
turned. The blow I had received was
n savage one, and pained dully, but the
cold water In which I had been tin
merged had caused tho bleeding to
cease, and likewise revived nil my fac
ulties. Th? very fact that no effort wns
made to stop was sufficient proof that
Throckmorton In the whceihou3o re
mained unconscious of what had oc
curred on tho deck below. My fate
might never be discovered, or suspect
ed. I was alone, submerged In tlrt)
great river, the stars overhead ulonc
piercing tho night shadows. A log
swept by me, white bursts of spray Il
luminating Its sides, and I grappled II
gratefully, my Angers finding grip on
the sodden bark. Using this for par
tial support, nnd ceasing to bottle eu
desperately against tho down-sweep of
the current, I managed finally to work
my way Into an eddy, struggling on
wnrd until my feet at last touched
bottom at the, end of a low, out-cropping
(Kilut of sand. This proved to be
a mere spit, but I waded ashore, water
streaming from my clothing, conscious
now of such completo exhaustion that
I hn.uk Instantly outstretched upon the
sand, gasping painfully for breath,
every musclo and nerve throbbing.
The night wan Intensely still, black,
Impenetrable. It seemed as though no
human being could Inhabit that deso
late region. I lifted my head to listen
for the slightest sound of life, and
strained my eyes to detect tho distant
glimmer of a light In uny direction.
Nothing rewnrdeil tho effort. Yet sure
ly here on this long-settled west bank
07 tho Mississippi 7 could not "be fur
removed from those of my race, for I
knew that all along this river shore
were cultivated plantations and little
frontier towns Irregularly uerved by
punning steamboats.
Tho night air Increased in chilliness
as the hours approached dawn, und I
shivered In my wet clothes, although
k this only served to arouse mo Into lm-
mediate action. Jteallzlug mora than
over as I again attempted to move my
weakness nnd exhaustion from tho
struggle, I succeeded In gaining my feet,
und stumbled forward along the mir
ror spit of sand, until I attained a
bank of firm earth, up which I crept
painfully, emerging at lust upon a fair
ly level spot, softly carpeted with
grass, and aurrounded by a grovo of
forest trees. Tho bhadows hero were
dense, hut my feet encountered a de
pression In' the coll, which I soon Iden-
tiiicii us a iiuuur weii-tloliuei puili
leading Inland. Assured that this must
point the way to somo door, us It wnM
evidently no wild animal trail, I felt
my way forward cautiously, eager to
attain shelter, and tho comfort of a
lire.
I camo suddenly to a patch of culti
vated laud, bisected by a small stream,
the path 1 was following leading along
Its bank. Holding to this for guidance,
within less than a hundred yaids I
camo to tho lmuso I was seeking, a
small, log structure, overshadowed by
a gigantic oak, and standing Isolated
and alone. Ik-liming tho place to bo
occupied by a slave, or possibly somo
white squatter, I advanced illroctly to
the door, and called loudly to whoever
might be within.
There wns no response, nnd, believ
ing tho occupant asleep, I rapped
sharply. Still no voice answered, al
though I felt convinced of somo move
ment Inside, lending mo to belles o that
the sleeper had slipped from his hod
and was approaching the door. Again
I rapped, this time with greater Impa
tience over tho delay, but not tho
slightest sound rewarded tho effort.
Shivering there In my wet clothes, the
stubborn obduracy of tho fellow
awakened my anger.
"Open up, there," I culled command
Ingly, "or else' I'll break down your
door."
In tho darkness I had been unob
servant of n narrow slide In the upper
panel, but had scarcely uttered those
words of threat when the Han of a
discharge almost In my very faco fair
ly blinded me, and I (oil backward,
aware of a burning sensation In one
shoulder. The next Instant I lay out
stretched on the ground, nnd It seemed
to me that life was fast ebbing from
my body. Twlco I endeavored uilnly
to rise, but at the second attempt my
brain reeled dizzily and I sunk back
unconscious.
ml CHAPTER V.
Plcklno Up the Threads.
I turned my bond slightly on tho
hard shuck pillow and gazed curiously
about. When my eyes had first
opened all I could perceive was tho
section of log wall against which I
rested, but now, after painfully turn
ing over, tho entire Interior of the
single-room cabin was revealed. It
was humble enough In all Its appoint
ments, the walls quite bare, the few
chairs fashioned from half-barrels, a
packing box for a tnble, and the nar
row bed on which I lay constructed
from saplings lashed together, cov
ered with a coarse ticking, packed
with straw. I surveyed tho entire cir
cuit of the room wondcrlngly, a vague
memory of what had lately occurred
returning slowly to mind. To all ap
pearances I was there alone, although
"Is Yer Really Awake Agin, Honey?"
close Deslue mo stood u low stool,
supporting a tin basin partially tilled
with water. As I moved I hecumo
conscious of n dull pain In my left
shoulder, which I also dlfrcotered to
ho tlglillv bandaged.
I presume It was not long, yet my
thoughts were so busy It seemed as if
I must have been lying there undls
tuibed for some time, before, the door
opened quietly and I became avvaro
of nnother occupant of tho room. Bay
ing no attention to me, ho crossed to
the flrepluce, stirred tho few smolder
ing embers Into flame, placing upon
these somo bits of dried wood, nnd
then Idly watched as they caught Are.
Tho newcomer was a negro, gray
haired but still vigorous, evidently a
powerful fellow Judging from his
breadth of shoulder, and possessing
a face denoting considerable Intelli
gence. Finally ho -straightened up
and faced me, his eyes widening with
Interest as ho caught mine fastened
upon him, his thick lips Instantly part
ing In a good-natured grin.
"Do good Lord bo praised I" he
ejaculated, In undisguised delight. "Is
yer really awake ugln, honey? Do
doctah say ho dono thought yo'd cum
round by terday sure, null."
"The doctor?" I questioned In sur
prise, my voice sounding strunge and
far away. "Havo I been hero long?"
"Gobi on 'bout ten duys, sail, Yor
was powerful bad hurt an' out o' yer
head, I reckon."
"What was It that happened? Did
someone shoot mo?"
Tho negro scratched his head, shuf
fling his buro feet uneasily on tho dirt
lloor,
"Yns, sah, Mr. Knox," ho ndmlttcil
Vlth reluctance. "I'm sure powerful
sorry, sah, but I wns do boy whut
plugged yer. Yer see, snh, It dono
huppeiicd dlK-n-way," and his bhick
faco registered genulno distress.
"Thnr'a a mean gnng o whlto folks

Just nat'arlly didn't wniilur ho licked,
an' an' so I blazed nway. I'm pow

"No doubt It wns more my fault
than yours. You nro a frco negro,
then?"
"Yas, sah. I dono belong onrt tor
Colonul Kilns Carlton, sah, hut afore
he died. Just because I dono saved his
boy from drownln' In do rlbbor, do ol'
colonul ho sot mo free, an' glvo me n

"Whnt Is your nnine?"
"Polo. sar. Kroo Bottj Is whut mostly
do whlto folks call me.',' Ho laughed,
whlto tooth showing mid tho whiles
of his oyos. "Yor soo llinr am a pow
erful lot o' Poles round 'bout yore,
sah."
I drow n deep lironth, cohscloua of
weakness us I endeavored to change
position.
"All right, Pete; now I want lo un
derstand things clearly. You shot mo,
supposing I was making an assault
on you. Your bullet lodged In my
shoulder. What happened then?"
"Well, after a while, sah, llinr wan't
no mor' noise, on' I reckoned I'd ei
ther dono hit yor or else ye'd run
nway. An' llinr yo wus, sah, a-lylu'

along wid me he dug the bullet outer
yer shoulder, an' left soma truck for
me tor glv' yor. He's dono been yero
throe times, salt."
Trom Benucalro Landing Is that
n town?"
"A sorter town, snh; 'bout four miles
down rlbbor."
Tho mentioning of this familiar
word brought back Instantly to my
darkened understanding till t!uM
main events loading up to my pres
ence In this neighborhood. Complete
memory returned, every separate Inci
dent sweeping through my brain
Klrby, Carver, the fateful gaino of
cards In the cabin of tho Warrior, the
sudden death of tho Judge, tho mob
anger I sought to curb the struggle 011
deck, my being thrown overboard, and
the danger threatening tho two Inno
cent daughters of Ueaucalre, And I
had actually been I vine In this nouni I
hut. burning up with fever, helplessly
delirious, for ten days. What laid
already occurred In that space of
time? Whnt tlllalny had been con-coctcd-nnd
carried out?"
"Now see here, Pete," I began ear
nestly. "How did you learn what my
name wns?"
"Do doctah ho foun tint out, sah.
Ho done looked through yer pockets,
sah, an' he took two papers whut he
foun' dnr nway wld him. He dona tol'

bu wus yero hu tol' me thct ho wlnt
down tcr St. Ionoo hlsself, nn' done
glf hnf dem papers ter Gov'ner Clark.
So yor don't need worry nono 'bout
dem no mor'."
I'snnk hack onto tho hard pillow,
greatly relieved by this Information.
Tho burden of olllclal duty had been
ukeii from me. I wns now on fur
lough and free to act ns I pleased.
"Havo you picked up any news late
ly from Benucalro plantation?"
"I hecrd dey done brought do body
oh do ol' Jedgo homo, sah ho died
mighty sudden sumwhar up do rlbbcr.
Thot'a 'bout all I know."
"When was this?"
"Bout u week, maybe nior'n dnt,
ago. Do Warrior brought do body
down, sah."
"Tho Warrior? Did anyono go
ushoro with It?"
"Pears llko thnr wus two men
stopped off at do Land In'. I dlsre
member do names, hut one oh 'cm wus
nn ol' friend ob do Jcdge's."
I turned my head away silently, but
only for a moment. Tho two men wero
In all probability Klrby nnd his satel
lite, Carver. Doubtless the Benucalro
property wns already legally In Kir
by's possession, and any possible
chanco I, might have onco hud to foil
him In his nefarious purposo had now
completely vanished.
To bo suro I had reasoned out no
definite moans whereby I could cir
cumvent his theft, except to tnko legal
advice, confer with Governor Clark,
and warn thoso threatened girls of
their danger. But now It wns too latu
even to do this. And jet It might not
be. If Klrby und his confederato be
lieved that I was dead, wero con
vinced that I had perished beneath
tho waters of tho river, thoy might
feel safe In tuklng time to strengthen
their position; might delay final ac
tion, hoping thus to mnku their case
seem moro plausible. If Klrby was
really serious In his Intention of mar
rying Beaucnlre'fl daughter ho would
naturally hesllato Immediately to Ac
knowledge winning tho property at
cards, and thus Indirectly being the
cniiso of her father's death. Ho would
bo quite likely to keep this hidden
from the girl for a while, until ho
tried his luck at love, If lovo failed,.
then tho disclosure might bo inndo to
drivo tho young woman to him a
threat to render her complaisant.
"Do you know 11 lawyer named
Haines?"
"Llvln' down ut do tandln'? YnB,
sah."
I lifted myself up In bed, too deeply
Interested to lie still any longer,
"Now listen, Poto," I explained ear
nestly. "I've got sufllclcnt monoy to

the dingy cabin with a fitful glow of
red llaino. I hail managed to got out

orcised my muscles. 1 lalnes was n
small, snndy-comploxlonod man, with
a struggling board und light blue

"Yet there wero two men nn tho

hud enrod to do so," I answered dryly,
"I moan Klrby nnd Cnrvor; thoy wero
tho ones who throw me overboard."
Ho dropped Into 11 chair, his keen
ferret eyen on my faro.
"Klrby nnd Carver? Thoy went

"I havo every reason, Haines, to feel

practically confessed this to me, boast
Ingly, afterward. That Inst night ho
so manipulated the cards or rather
Carver did, for It wus his deal as to
deceive Beaucalre Into firmly believ

Tho lawyer leaned forward, breath

"Four aces I Only one hand In bet

"That Is exactly true, Haines. I nm
