Barbara laughed, “lI wouldn't like to lose my hair." 'll watch out for that,” sald the boy with such confident gravity that Barbara turned to look at him, “I belleve you would,” she mured. Everybody had gathered for the noonday dinner when they swung around the great trees and up to the back porch. Just as they were start- ing in the Kentucky boy gave a cry and darted down the path. A tower- ing figure In coonskin cap and hunt- er's garb was halted at the sun-dial and looking toward them. They saw the tall stranger stare wonderingly at the boy and throw back his head and laugh. Then the two came on together. The boy was still flushed but the hunter's face was grave. “This is Dave,” said the boy sim- mur- Bent Over With Rheumatism Pains 8top drugging and get quick relief with a bottle of old reliable 8t.

Two coaches with outriders and postilions led the | way-—the elder ladies in the first coach, and the second blossoming with flower-like faces and starred with dancing eyes. Booted and spurred, the gentlemen rode behind, and after them rolled the bu; e ige- wagons, drawn by mules in jingling | harness. Harry on a chestnut sorrel and the young Kentucklan on a high- stepping gray followed the second | coach-——Hugh on Firefly champed the length of the column. Colonel Dale and Dave brought up the rear, The cavalcade halted before a | building with a leaden bust of Sir Walter Raleigh over the main door- way, the old Raleigh Tavern, in the Apollo Room of which Mr. Jeffer- | son had rapturously danced with his Belinda. Both coaches were quickly surrounded hy howing gentlemen, voung gallants, and frolicsome stu- | dents. Dave, the young Kentuckian, and Harry would be put up at the tavern, and, for his own reasons, Hugh elected to stay with them. Tnside the tavern Hugh was soon surrounded by fellow students. He| pressed Dave and the boy to drink with them, but Dave laughingly de- clined and took the lad up to their room. Below they could hear Hugh's merriment going on, and when Hugh came upstairs a while later his face was flushed. With him came a youth of his own age with daredevil eyes and a suave manner, one Dane Grey, to whom Harry gave scant greeting.

That morning news came from New FEngland that set the town a- quiver. England’'s answer to the Bos- ton tea-party had been the closing of Boston harbor. In the House of Burgesses, the news was met with a burst of indigantion. In the middle of the afternoon my lord's . coach swung from his great yard and made for the capitol—my lord erect and haughty, his lips set with the reso- lution to crush the apirit of the re- bellion. It was a notable scene, las, Bland, Lee, Harrison, ton, Henry, Jefterson and ton were there. The Burgesses were to give a great ball in his honor that very night, and now he was come to dissolve them. And dissolve them he did. They bowed gravely and with no protest. Bhaking with anger my lord stalked to his coach and six while they re- paired to the Apollo Room to pro- hibit the use of tea and propose a general congress of the colonfes. And that ball came to pass. Haughty hosts received their haughty guest with the finest and gravest courtesy, bent low over my lady's hand, danced with her daugh- ters, and wrung from my lord's re- luctant lips the one grudging word of comment: “‘Gentlemen!” The two backwoodemen were dazzled by the brilllance of it all, for the boy had stood with Barbara, who had been allowed to look on for a while. . Before Barbara ‘was sent home Hugh and Dane Grey came in with an exaggeration of dignity and po- liteness that fooled few otherc than themselves. Hugh, catching Bar- bara’s sad and reproachful giance, did not dare go near her, but Dane made straight for her side when he entered the Toom—and bowed with great gallantry. To the boy ho pald no attention whatever, and the lat- ter, fired with indignation and hate, turned hastily away. The haif over- looking and wholly contemptuous glance that Grey had shot over his head had stung him like a knife-cut, so ke an actual knife indeed that without knowing it his right hand was fumbling at his belt. Erskine left and went back to the tavern and up to his room. Then with his knife in his belt he went down again and for Nicho- Pendle- Washing- At all d-uggists—35¢, 70c, $1.40.

At the moment, the boy caught sight of Barbara. Her eyes, filled wity. scorn, met his in one long, sad, withering look, and she turned noise- lessly back into the house. He knew at last what he had done. Nothing was said to him when he came to the house and that night he scarcely opened his lips. In silence he went to bed and next morning he was gone. The mystery was explained when Barbara told how the boy, too, must have overheard Hugh. “He's hurt,” said Dave, gone home." “Why, he'll starve.” “He could get there on roots and herbs and wild honey, but he'll have fresh meat every day.
