A shrewd old negro had told him that the outlaw tlved In a house built of periwinkle shells. Day after day Drace takes a canoe and goes farther and farther into the moss-hanging wilds. At his feet lies a rope, one end of It a hangman's noose. CHAPTER VII. Drace penetrates Into "the wilderness, dlscoversj'erlwlnkle House and finds Nadine alone.

She Is much alarmed and warns him her father will shoot him. He makes love to her and to get him to go she agrees to meet him again the following Thursday. On his way home Drace Is accosted by three men who ask to be set across the river. They overpower him and bind him with ropes. Led by Tony they throw Drace Into an old cabin.

"Caught In an instant, a fly in a speck of Jelly, and jiave never been able to get free," he reproached himself. "Even Liberty-iBhottle, the slave of cards and dice, can see my weakness and must laligh at me. But by the God In Heaven it shall npt be.

In this land there Js no law. I bring my own law with me, my oath, and a smile and a word of flattering love bade me put It aside, and I let it slip from me. Now I must redeem myself." He stood at the window. Gamecocks were crowing the dawn, a courageous challenge to all the world. No, there would be no weakening now.

The sweetish comedy had been played. Swiftly he dressed himself, stole downstairs, out of the house, dowito the river. There was no boat, but no matter, he would walk to Willow Head. Realizing that It was yet too early for the execution of his grim purpose, he halted at a wayside place, ate breakfast and waited for the sun. Then not in Hurried haste, but deliberate in strength, he walked on to Willow Head, crossed over, found his neglected rope where, In a hollow stump In backsliding weakness he had hidden It, buttoned It beneath his coat and strode down Into the swamp.

On the bark of the live oak were the dead flowers of yesterday. There in the shade was the box that had served as table, once so prettily strewn with violets.

In spite of his vow of vengeance and his. hatred of StepTio, these things caught nt Drace's heart, shook his fixed purpose of action. For many minutes he waited no sign of Stepho, of anyone. And then his blood leaped for soft hands suddenly blinded hlio from behind, soft laughter bubbled over at his astoni.sltment. And dark thoughts -and dark purposes fled on the wind as he caught Nadine and hugged her close.

"Now for your punishment!" And he kissed her. "Oh, you must not agnln Virgil, I cannot like you when you are rude. You must not!" "I don't wnnt you Just to like me." "You do not? Then I will try not to. ing. And then ins oonos are cut and with Nadine's help he gets safely out.

There they drink summer-grape wine, listen to "The Arkansaw Traveler," see the buck-and-wing dancers and hove a dinner of doves and flx-In's.
