CHAPTER X.
CAUGHT IN A TRAP.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Through the long hours till the
morning Mason sat with tireless eyes
He had had too many alarms. too
many suspicious, during the early part
of the night to feel disposed for SO
much as a moments rest.
Into what den Of iniquity had he
stumbled among those hills which the
mind instinctively associated with the
peaceful and innocent delights OF
pastoral life? Who were they. this
proup of rustics In their weird eyrie
warm hearted. impulsive farmer,
Witchlike old woman. sullen lad? Were
they all banded together for unlawful
purposes, or were they divided sharp
Iy into two classes-the innocent and
the guilty?
And what sort of a living could they
hope to make by dishonest means here
In the wilds in these days Of railways
and the police?
The more carefully he considered
the whole matter the wilder did his
conjectures become, the more unlikely
seemed every conclusion which sug-
gested itself to him.
At last he gave up endeavoring to
unravel the mystery. telling himself
that with the mornings light. with
the ability to look about him and to
make inquiries. there would come san
er thoughts and a clearer view Of
things.
In the meantime he had at first
enough to occupy him in the condition
Of his patient.
Partly, no doubt. as result Of the
fright she had had, the girl became
more restless than before. Her breath
ing grew more labored, her cough
more incessant. her complaints Of the
pain it gave her more plaintive. more
frequent.
With every means at his command
Mason combated each fresh symp-
tom as it arose, administered such
nourishment as she could swallow and
watched with unwearied patience until
toward daybreak she grew quieter,
ceased to utter the mutterings which
had denoted the uneasy state Of her
mind and sank into peaceful sleep.
Mason heard the sounds about the
house which told that the family was
astir long before anybody came in to
relieve his watch.
When at last the farmer appeared.
he was overjoyed at the sight Of his
daughter in her quiet slumber. He
wrung Masson's hand again and again;
he thanked God in a broken voice for
sending help when he so sorely needed
it, and he ended by dragging the doc
tor away and leading him to the front
bedroom, which had already been air
ed and put in order for the guests re-
ception.
There. sir" he said as he pointed
to his own old fashioned four post bed
stead, upon which a handsome quilt
had been spread in honor Of the visit

prisoned by the man whose antago-
nism he had so much reason to dread,
Reginald Mason instinctively glanced
round him for some available weapon
of defense.
The loft in which they both stood
was long and wide and very bare, the
rough stone walls being much In the
same state as In the time Of the
monks occupation, and the roof being
of the rudest and most primitive sort.
In one corner was small bedstead,
in another was an iron washstand.
This was all the furniture which could
be distinguished from mere lumber.
But as Mason looked, the setting
sun, which had been obscured by
heavy snow clouds. struggled through
the mist ana shining In through the
small west window Of the loft threw
into strong relief the face and figure
Of the angry and menaclng Coch Tai.
For the first time the doctor was able
to see him perfectly, and as his eyes
met those Of the mountaineer his fears
died away.
For this wild son Of the hills was no
dull, british creature, such rs he had
expected to see. True it was that the
animal was strong In him, betrayed In
heavy jaw and full Tipped mouth; true
that the expression Of his face at that
moment was fierce. threatening. But
in his blue eyes there was light. there
was fire; they looked out upon the
world with q steady, open gaze, the
gaze, SO it seemed to Mason, Of an
honest man.
All the fear Of the savage mountain
eer which he might have momentarily
felt melted away at once as he looked
at him and recognized the charm
which this rugged face must have had
for his Ill fated brother. 1t was strange
that this very first look he was able to
give straight into the eyes Of the man
he had longed so ardently to meet
gave him his first doubt as to the
mans guilt.
81 am glad to meet you." he said at
laSt, lleT d pause, uuiihS "hiSh my
had stood steadily measuring each
other. eye to eye.
Coch Tai never moved.
"Well" said he sullenly, land what
have you to say?"
He spoke In rough voice, with a
strong Welsh accent, but his tones
had in them something Of the strange
charm Of his look and manner. His
defiance seemed manly, not coarsely
aggressive, and his eyes still looked
out steadily as IN honest mans should.
There was another short pause.
81 want" said Mason at last, ITO
know all you have to tell about my
brother"
Coch Tai frowned.
"You have heard" said he shortly,
from Tregaron all there Is to tell"
mot ALL" returned Mason firmly, In
a tone which showed that he did not
mean to be put off. 81 have heard his
version. but l want to know yours.
You accompanied him from Trecoed
as his guide, remember that"
At this reminder Coch Tails face
flushed, and he turned angrily upon his
questioner.
"What can a guide do when a man
chooses to 60 his own wayT asked he

Wien they got out In the open air,
the sun was so near his setting that
only a few red rays came struggling
through the Mills, dimmed by the gath
ering clouds. Coch Tai glanced up
and pointed with his thumb.
"There'll be more snow before morn
ing" said he.
Then he led the way among more
fragments of the ruined buildings, to
a bit Of smoother ground beyond.
