The man thus addressed, set down his
lantern upon the ground. and started TO
obey. This was the opportunity which
our hero had plotted for. As soon MS he
saw that he had thrown the villains off
their guard. he gathered all his strength
for the effort, and with Que blow he sent
Saul ireeIing TO the earth. He then took
Anselmo, as he was rising from his lantern,
and served him in like manner: and then
he darted off along the narrow path, at the
top of his speed In a little while, how
ever, il became evident to the youth that
he must soon be overtaken if he kept ON
in the path, for his pursuers were gaining
upon him every moment. Thoy were used
to forest Ringing. and could glide along
among the tangled boughS like beasts of
prey.
Many thoughts flashed through Fabian's
mind, but they aVailed him nothing. He
regretted that lie had not stopped and Civ

Saul sounded close HpOn him. lie turned
his head to look; and as he did so. his foot
caught in a stout vine, which sent him
hcndlong among the uhderbrush. On the
next instant Saul was upon him with u

youths struggles were now in vain. As
he lay there, pained and bewildered by the
fall, and by the grasp upon his throat
they bound his hands behinI with Il stont
leathern thong, and then dragged him
back into the path. A huge oak was close
at hand, and having forced him down by
the side of this, they bound his ankles as
they tIaiI done his arms. thus rendering
him utterly powefieA, either for flight or
resistance. -ia s-ta'e --sr0
