CHAPTER I.
THE TRAIL UP CEDAR HILL.

After running an errand for his mother toone of the farmers’ wives, he had been pedalingcarelessly along up the dusty road.

A couple of fellows of about his own age, oneof whom was inclined to be rather stout, werecoming along a side road, making frantic motionsfor him to wait until they arrived; theboy chuckled again.
