A little brown Jug from Klldare." hus Mr. Thomas A4more tested pickets with a shibboleth of his ownevlsing. The sturdy militiamen of Notth Carolina, patroled the northern bavak of Raccoon creek at midnight, aware that riotous flood alone separated them from their foes. The terraces at Ardsley bristled with the guns of the First Light battery, while, upon a cot In the wine cellar beneath, Mr. Bill Applewe'ght, alias Poteet, slept the sleep of the Just. He was rudely aroused, however, at one o'clock In the morning by Ardmore, Cooke and Collins, and taken out through the kitchen to one of the Ardsley farm wagons. Big Paul held the reins, and tour of Cooke's detectives were mounted as escort. Ardmore, Cooke and dollins were to accompany the party as a board of strategy in the movement upon Turner Court House, South Carolina. Applewelght, the terror of the border, blinked at the lanterns that flashed about him In tbe courtyard. He had .been numbed by his imprisonment, and even now he yielded himself docilely to the inevitable. His capture In the first instance at Mount Nebo had been clear enough, and he could have placed his hand on the men who did it if he had been free for a couple of hours. This he had pondered over his solacing solitaire as be sat on the case of Chateau Bizet In the Ardsley wine cellar; but the subsequent events had been altogether too much for him. He had been taken from his original captors by a girl, and while the Ignominy of this was not lost on the outlaw, his wits had been unequal to the further fact, which he had no ground for disbelieving, that this captivity within the walls of Ardsley had been due to a daughter of that very governor of North Carolina whom he had counted his friend. "The road between Kildare and Turner's Is fairly good," announced Cooke, "though we've got to travel four miles to strike it. Grlswold evidently thinks that holding the creek Is all there Is of this business, and he won't find out till morning that we've crawled round his line and placed Applewelght In Jail at Turner's, w here he belongs." "You must have a good story ready for the press, Collins," said Ardmore. "The North Carolina border counties don't want Applewelght injured, and Gov. Dangerfleld don't want any harm to come to him you may be Bure of that, or Hill would have been doing time long ago." "Gentlemen, It was very Impolite of you not to tell me you were ready to start!" and Jerry came briskly from the side entrance, dressed for the saddle and nibbling a biscuit. "But you are not to go! I thought that was understood!" cried Ardmore. "It may have been understood by you, Mr. Ardmore, but not by me! I should never forgive myself If, after I have taken to all the trouble out this little matter, I straighten should not be In at the finish. Will you kindly get me a horse?" Miss Dungerfleld'B resolution was not to be shaken, and a few minutes later the party moved out from the Cooke rode several huncourtyard. dred yards ahead; then two detectives preceded the wagon, In which Applewith two welght sat on a cross-sea- t more of Cooke's men on a seat Just behind him. He was tied and gagged, and an old derby hat (supplied by Paul) bad been clapped upon the Bide of his head at an angle that gave lm a Jaunty air belled by his bonds. Thojgh his tongue was silenced, bis eves were at once eloquent of won A r'tlll iKr Come to Los Angela globes above. Paul drove his team at a trot over tho smooth road of the estate to a remote and little-usegate on tho southern side, but still safely removed from the South Carolina pickets along the Raccoon. "It's all right over there" remarked Collins, Jerking his head toward the creek. "The fronting armies are waiting for morning and battle. I suppose that when we send word to Grlswold that Applewelght Is In a South Carolina Jail It will change the scene of operations. It will then bo Gov. Osborne's painful task to dunce besentiment and tween the loud cursing of his border constituents. Tbe possibilities of this rumpus grow on me, Ardmore." "There is no rumpus, Mr. Collins," said Jerry over her shoulder. "The governor of North Carolina Is merely giving expression to his civic pride and virtue." Leaving Ardsley, they followed a dismal stretch of road until they reached tbe highway that connects Turner's and Kildare. "It's going to be morning pretty soon. We must get the prisoner Into Turner's by five o'cloclc' Trot 'em up, Paul," ordered Cooke. . They were all In capital spirits, lth a fairly good road before them, leading straight to Turner's, and with no expectation of any trouble In landing their prisoner safely In Jail. ithey were well into South Carolina territory now, and were Jogging on at a sharp trot, when suddenly Cooke turned back and halted tbe wagon. "There's something coming wait!" "Maybe' Bill's friends are out looking for.biSa," suggested Collins. ' Cooke impatiently bade them be quiet. "If we're accosted, what shall we say?" he asked. "We'll say," replied Jerry Instantly, "that one of the laborers at Ardsley Is dead, and that we are taking his remains to his wife's family at Turner's. 1 shall be his widow." tance.

But as they moved on toward Turner's, Ardmore was still troubled over what had seemed to him the remarkable, Parisian courtesy of the returning reveler who had lifted his bat as the corpse passed. Grissy, he kept saying over and over to himself, was no fool by any manner of means, and he was unable to conjecture why the associate professor of admiralty, known to be detached on special duty for the governor of South Carolina, should be riding to Ktidare, unless he contemplated some coup of Impor- and air goln back home to Kildare," came the reply.
