Oh yes here we are! Now Mr Duke of Ilallywlnkle listen to what It says here In Section 9 of the Constitution of the United States which reads exactly as follows in this ’No title of nobility book: shall be granted by the United States: And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them shall without the consent of the congress accept of any present emolument office or title of any kind whatever from any king And it says prince or foreign state’ in Section 10 that ‘No state shall grant any title of nobility' Now Mr Ballywinkle It Is perfectly clear that this CHAPTEfl XIII i Miss Dangerfleld Takes a A dozen men carrying rll oner across their rode af from Habersham's farm on the o)3 tirts of Turner Court House andit( uck a that led devil a trail course rough over the hills At their hess ode the guide of the expedition — alr silent man on a mule Griswold ail lHaber- sham followed immediately ftiehind him on horseback Their plL’s had been carefully arranged befori they left their rendezvous and invi for an occasional bebrief interchange tween the prosecuting attorney! tnd the governor’s special represent e on Ha the party Jogged in silence sham’s recruits were It may be farmers of the border ho had ed for years Just such an opportuni as now offered to avenge themselvei upon the Insolent Applewelghts Nearly every man of the party had private score to settle but the t all been sworn as special coastal C I and were sobered by the Jyj that the power of the state Of (south Carolina was back of them Thus at the very hour that Mr Ardmore and hls lieutenant rode away from the lonely anchorage of The Guide the Pushed His Mule Forward at a Fast Walk caboose Prof Griswold and hls out for Mount Nebo the master of Ardsley was revenging himself upon the duke of Ballywinkle hls dearest friend against whom he had closed the doors of hla bouse was losing no time In setting forth upon a mission which if successful would seriously interfere with all Mr Ardmore’s and hopes plans The guide of the expedition pushed hls mule forward at a fast walk making no excuses to Griswold and Habersham for the roughness of the trails he chose nor troubling to give warning of sharp turns where a horse being less wise than a mule tobogganed Ocmadly before finding a foothold casionally a low hanging limb switched the associate professor sharply across the face but hls temper continued serene where the trail was darkest and steepest and he found himself ignorHabersham's ing occasional polite questions about the university in hls effort to summon up in inembry certain ways of Barbara Osborne which baffled him Check up caln't you?" snaned the man on the mule laying hold of Griswold’s rein and thus halted Griswold found that they had been circling round a curiously symmetrical thickly wooded hill and had finally come to a clearing whence they were able to gaze far off toward the north “We are almost out of bounds” said Habersham pointing “Over there somewhere across the hills lies North am as thoroughly Carolina lost as you can possibly be but these men know where they are How far Is it Billy” — he addressed the silent guide —“to Mhunt Nebo?” "About four mile and I reckon we’d better let out a lettle now or they’ll cavalcade set church When sing the doxology before we git thar" “What’s that light away off there?” asked Habersham and The guide paused to examine tbe faint glow far down the vale Beemed to perplex him He spoke to one or two other natives and they viewed the light rumlnatlvely as la their way “Thet must be on Ardmore's land" the “It said shoots out leader finally all sorts o’ ways round hyeh and I reckon thet's wheh Raccoon creek cuts through” "That’s very likely" said Habersham Tve seen the plat of what Ardmore owns on this Bide the border at the courthouse and I remember that there's a long strip in Mingo Ardmore county thaj 1b Ardsley land has houses of one kind and another scattered all over the estate and those lightk may be from one of them You know the place don’t you?” “Yes I’ve visited there" admitted Griswold "But we’d better give It a wide perth The whole estate Is simfever with scarlet ply Infested They’re quarantined” “I guess that’s a Joke" said Habersham "There’s a big party on there now and I have seen some of the guests In Turner’s within a day or First State BANK 'of J A Presidents Hulsb Cashier) Lewie Y Alma Drafts drawn on all the principal cities of the United States and Europe Banking in all its various forms Accounts Respectfully Solicited Four per cent interest paid on time deposits MEATS and GROCERIES two" “Within how many days?" demanded Griswold hls heart sinking at the thought that Ardmore had lied to him to keep him away from Ardsley— from Ardmore’s house! The thought of it really hurt him now "Come on!” called Habersham Half the company rode ahead to gain the farther side of the church the remainder Including Griswold and Habersham soon dismounted and tied their horses out of sight of the country road which they had latterly been following “We are In plenty of time” said Habersham at hie watch looking “The rest of the boys are closing in from tbe other side and they will be when he finready for Applewelght ishes hls devotions We’ve been studying the old man’s habits and he has a particular place where he ties his It’s a lithorse back of the church tle apart from the fence where most of the congregation hitch and be chose It no doubt because In case of a surprise he would have plenty Two men of room for maneuvering are going to lay for him seize and gag him and caiy him Into the wood back of the church and then we're off across the state Hie to lock him up In jail at Kildare and give Gov Dangerfleld the shock of hls life” “It sounds simple enough but it won’t be long before Applewelght’ friends miss him You must remember that they are a shrewd lot” “We’ve got to take our chances pet's hope we are as shrewd aa they jre” replied Habersham eoftly They moved ( through the wood and presently the faint sound of ringing reached them “Old Rabdlck has finished hla sermon and we'll know the worst In a few minutes” One of the party had already detached himself and crept forward toward the chuch to meet hls appointed comrade In the enterprise who was to come in from the other side church presented in The clapboard the moonlight the austerest outlines and as the men waited a rude though unseen hand was slamming the wooden shutters that protected the windows from impious violence “We could do with less moon” muttered Habersham as he and Griswold peered through the trees into the churchyard “There goes Bill Applewelght now” one of the natives at hls whispered felt hls heartand Griswold elbow beats quicken as he watched a tall against the church figure silhouetted toward the rear moving and swiftly At the front of the of the building church voices sounded as the departing worshipers rode or drove bIow-laway Habersham laid hls hand suddenly on Griswold’s arm They've nailed “They’ve got him! him!
