Hes there" she said, in an intensc
whisper. "Sce-the headstall is round
the rock. We shall save hm!"
Looking more narrowly, I perceived
tn fuct something hitched round the
tusk, which might have been some part
of horses harness; il resemOled n
hendstall as much as anything. The
loop OF the bride Cif it wcr" still at
tachcd 70 it, was of course ont of
sight on the other side. Was Tom hang
ing to it? My heart Inisgaye me; it
was desperate chance, TO say the best
OF it.
BY getting on the top of the arch, it
would he possible TO look down into the
abyss and determine whether the
young man were there. | glanced at
ImoEen, seeking for some protest to
induce her 10 stay where She was; for
my expectations of happy issue OF
our affair were smaller than ever; but
it WIS evident from the poor girl y
white face and blazing eyes that she
was not in n condition to be trltled with.
she was strung up to cOncrrt-pitch, and
was quite capable OF jumping into the
river and going down into the bowels
of the earth in quest Of her lover, should
he have been so incOnsidcratc as 10 al
low himself to be carried thither. 1t
WAS most prudent, therefore, 10 keep
her within my reach.
It did not take us long TO get TO the
coign of vantage above the fall | first
cleared away the thick growth of
grass and shrubbery that grew there,
and then laid myself fiat down on my
stomach and peered over.
The sun. in the first quarter Of his as
cent, was right opposite me as ] lay,
and it WIS some time before | could
make ont anything but darkness in
the gulf below me. The water swept
TO the shining brink and went over il
in endless movement, producing an illu-
sion as il the solid rock on which lay

nothing defined Itself within there.

gazcd more intently.
The body of water was, as / have said,
parted in twain by the peak of rock
standing just mt the plunge; and judg
ing by the angle at which the two
streams separated, there must be Il
spuce on the inner side Of the peak com
pnratively free from anything more
than spray. There IA man might hung
without being drowned; but the time
that even practiced athlete could sup
port himself in air at the end of Il
bride must he strictly limited, and
was 10 be counted by minutes rather
than hours. Now, il was nearly two
hours since Imogen and had set forth
on our expedition.
That the object hitched overthe peak
Of rock was actually the hcadstall was
now plain Imogen had been right.
And il could now be seen that the
bride was attached TO it. could follow
the strip Of leather with my eye for
several inches, when il VAS obscured

scarcely had my hopes been raised by
this discovery, than they were over

weight been depending from the bride,
there would be a severe strain upon ii =,
