Fortune and Sandy Flash for there were two individuals in his bewildered brain would surely fulfil their threat if he stirred before the appointed time. What under heaven should he do? Wait; that was all; and he waited until it seemed that morning must be near at hand.

"Then," said Gilbert, "it's hardly likely that he's the same friend you took such a fancy to, at the Hammer-and-Trowel, last spring?" Alfred Barton started as if he had been shot, and a deep color spread over his face.
"You deserve to take the lead to-day, so go ahead; I'll follow you!" "Mount, then, all of you!" Gilbert cried, without further hesitation. In a second he was on Roger's back. "You, Barton," he ordered, "take three with you and make for the New-Garden cross-road as fast as you can. Pratt, you and three more towards the Hammer-and-Trowel; while I, with the rest, follow the direct trail."

There it suddenly ceased, and more than an hour elapsed before some one discovered it, near the road, a quarter of a mile further up the stream. Thence it turned towards the Hammer-and-Trowel, but no one at the farm-houses on the road had seen any one pass except a Quaker, wearing the usual broad-brimmed hat and drab coat, and mounted on a large, sleepy-looking horse.
