brother and he gave de olefolks a sight of trouble in hisyoung days Den he moved upnorf and married a rich gal fromBoston and gambled and drankuntil he run fru wid her moneyShe left him and de list weheard of him he had forged anote for a big lot of money andwas sent up for twenty yearsDat was ten years ago and hegot away about six months agoand has been hiding in PuckettsCave YQur ma knows it casehe has been to do house and shebas sent him clothes an moneyan things to eat an somehowolo Buckley foun it out an hedone said to your ma if you dontmarry me I will send the officersafter your brother

We followed the course of thewinding creek for some time andthen turned off in the woods I

picking our way through the un-

derbrush and climbing over fal¬

len trees for an hour or morewhen we reached a sniall clear ¬

ing Ben stopped and puttinghis hand to his mouth imitatedtho hoot of an owl twice in suc ¬

cession The echo had scarcelydied away when we heard an answeriug hoot this being the signal agreed upon by my uncle

On reaching the cave 1saw bythe moonlight a slender whitefaced man with a rifle in his

handMarse Johnf said Ben hereis the young marster and not apusson on dat hill knowed hocum

lily uncle took me by the handand led me into the cave tellingBen and the others to remainoutside and keep a sharp lookout

The inside of the cave was nar ¬

row at the entrance but widenedout as we proceeded and we sooncame to a room rudely furnishedwith one chair a mattress andtwo or three boxes The dimlight of the tallow dip threwfantastic shadows on tho sides ofthe cave and a monster bat madea dive at the light and extin ¬

guished it with the wind of itswingsI

beginning to feel a littleuneasy in this Egyptian Darknessand when I felt something coldagainst my hand and heard alow fierce growl break the still ¬

ness I could not repress an ex-

clamation¬

of alarmDown Hector and be quiet

said my uncle who had by thistimo found his flint and steel andwas relighting the dip

Dont be uneasy ho will notbother you now I found thatdog about three months ago withhis chain tightly wedged betweenthe forks of a fallen tree theblock would not allow it to passthrough and the poor fellow wasapparently nearly starved Iliberated him and have kept Jiimwith uio for company

I promised to do just as I wastold and after a great deal moretalk on the same subject wewent to the mouth of the caveand Ben and I started homereaching there a little before

daybreakOnday after Ben ran away

according to agreement and itwas soon noised about the plan ¬

tation Buckley was furious andswore he would give him a hundred lashes when he was caught

The next morning I went tothe overseer and told him that Ihad an idea Ben had gone toPucketts Cave as I heard himtalking to Liza Ann about thecave a day or so ago He wentto Liza Ann and asked her whatshe knew about it She very re ¬

luctantly told him she believedthat Ben had gone to the caveand added he took a ham and abushel of meal so he wont githongry
