amount to nothing, for Sheila could j

Kirst, clearly, he must not think of
applying the order to confine l'vcl"
to his plantation; also he must i.ive
Pyck authority to use the hounds In
hunting down the Mar.Hn and slave
who were committing awful crime.
He forthwith decided to write, ask
ing Pyck to send him an outline of
hl scheme against the rvhe's for com
ment and approval. That he must
do, for the game was with P'".
"II. iw long will It take the hound
to pet to Salem?" he asked the Custos

line in hi face and a determined
look In his eyes, lie wa an arrogant

his one posil.le weapon vv:is the man

"Why, your hoti-i. as we sent them

The governor nodded, and henm to

to rhe Custos what he had wrltvn.
"See what you think of that, 'n
