He led the horse out to the r0ad,
and then returned and conducted El.-
dora to the chaise, placed her In 1t,
took the seat by her side and drove
rapidly off. A drive Of ten minutes
brought them to rural railway sta

Up to this time no word had been
spoken between them. so intense had
been the anxiety Of both. But now,
when he had alighted and fastened
his horse to n tree, and came to the
chaise to hand her out, he whispered:

CHAPTER VII.

After closing the sliding panel be-
hind him and carefully adjusting it in
its place, Malcolm took the hand Of
his companion to guide her down the
narrow, steep and dangerous steps
that led to the secret passage. This
caution was the more needful as it
was SO dark that only Malcolm's pre-
vious knowledge Of the passage en-
abled him to feel his own way and
guide his companion through it.
Something like a hundred perpen-
dicular steps brought them down to a
low and narrow archway, not unlike
the entrance to a rudely constructed
tunnel.
Although it was still quite dark and
Malcolm, drawing his companion after
him., was obliged to grope his way
along the tunnel, yet occasional sharp
drafts of wind proved that there ex-
listed certain irregular crevices in the
rocks overhead that In the daytime

nation might prevent any one Oh the
ground above seeing or suspectjny the
existence Of the subterranean passage
beneath their feet. As this tunnel:
took nearly a straight line to the old
nunnery. a walk of about ten minutes
brought Malcolm and Eudora to the
other terminus that admitted them to
the lower cellars under the ruins.
When they had emerged from the
tunnel into these cellors. Malcolm
paused and carefully collected bricks,
stones and other fallen portions of the
building, with which he .choked IN
and concealed the narrow opening.

Now he turned to Eudora, who had

though intently listening, and, ad-
dressing her with reverential tender
