CHAPTER XXV. Tha Bubble Bursts. At about the same hour that tha Judge waa hurling threats and Insults at Colonel Fentress, three men were waiting ten miles sway at tbs head of the bayou which served to Isolate Hicks' cabin. Now no one of these three had ever heard of Judge Slocum Price; the breath of hla fame had never blown, however gently, to their direction, yet they were preparing to thruat opportunity upon him. To this end they were lounging about tbe where the opening in tbe wood horses belonging to Wareaud Murrell were tied. At length the dip of oars became audible to the silence and one of the trio stole down the path, a matter of fifty yards, to a point that overlooked the bayou. Ha waa gon but a moment. It's Murrell all right! he said in an eager whisper, him and another fellow the Hicks girl is rowing them." He glanced from one to thji other of h!s companions, who teemed to take firmer hold of themselves under hla eye. Itll be all right. t Hes as good as protested lightly. ours. Walt till I civ you th word. And he led the way Into an adjacent thicket. Meantime Ware and Murrell had landed and were coming along tha path, tha outlaw a gtep or two in advance of hla friend.
