It made him sick the utter lack of sense manifested by Murrell, and his talk, whenever they met, was still of the girl. He couldn't see anything so damn uncommon about that red-and-white chit. She wasn't worth running your neck into a halter for no woman that ever lived was worth that. The correspondence, so far as Betty was responsible for it, bore just on one point.

What's the word, Captain you say it!" he urged. He made a gesture of appeal to Ware. "Look for the light; better still, look for the man I'll send." And with this Murrell would have turned away, but Slosson detained him. "Who'll he be?" "Some fellow who knows the river." "And if it's the light?" asked the tavern-keeper in a hoarse undertone.

"They were to go home after breakfast this morning; the daughter's to come out again to-morrow and stay with Betty until she leaves." "What's that you're saying?" cried Murrell. "She's going back to North Carolina to those friends of hers; it's no concern of mine, she does what she likes without consulting me." There was a brief pause during which Murrell scowled at the planter.

"It is close in here," agreed the planter. "It isn't that, but you smoke the meanest cigars I ever smelt, I always think your shoes are on fire. Tom, do you want to get rid of her? Did you mean that?" "Oh, shut up," said Tom, dropping his voice to a surly whisper. There was a brief silence, during which Murrell studied his friend's face.

"Twice already I've named the day and hour, but now I'm going to put it through!" He set his teeth and thrust out his jaw. "Captain, you're the greatest fellow in America! Inside of a week men who have never been within five hundred miles of you will be asking each other who John Murrell is!"

Revelations in Madison County, Mississippi, in 1835 shortly before July 4, told of a conspiracy of whites and blacks scheduled for that day as a ramification of the general plot of the Murrell gang recently exposed.

"They were mightily stirred up at the Cross Roads when I left, wondering what had come of you," he observed. "When did you quit there?" asked Yancy. "About a fortnight ago," said Murrell. "Every one approves of your action in this matter, Yancy," he went on. "That's kind of them," responded Yancy, a little dryly. There was no reason for it, but he was becoming distrustful of Murrell, and uneasy.

Murrell, to General Jackson, of Tennessee, copies of which are now communicated to Congress, it will be seen that Aaron Burr passed Fort Massac on the 31st December with about ten boats, navigated by about six hands each, without any military appearance, and that three boats with ammunition were said to have been arrested by the militia at Louisville.

And Murrell had gone weak with his own eyes he had seen it Murrell whom he believed without fear! He felt that he had been grievously betrayed in his trust and a hot rage poured through him. At last he climbed into the saddle, and swaying like a drunken man, galloped off. When he reached the river road he paused and scanned its dusty surface.

"Take your hand off my horse!" exclaimed Murrell hoarsely, his mouth hot and dry with a sense of defeat. "Can't you see she'd rather be alone?" said Carrington. "Let go!" roared Murrell, and a murderous light shot from his eyes. "I don't know but I should pull you out of that saddle and twist your neck!" said Carrington hotly. Murrell's face underwent a swift change.
