CHAPTER VII.
THE ATTACK ON sHURKER' S

THE ATTACK ON SHCRkER S.
AS it was fully 20 miles to the house
of Caleb Shurker. Claudius Smith de-
cided to start out at an earlier hour
than he had at first intended, for this
would enable him to advance slowly
and spare the horses for the return
journey.
So when Robin reached the glade
where the bandits had gathered he
found them already mounted for the
march. Claudius turned upon him saw
agely.
"What! Must we be kept waiting
while ye make love, varlet? Fall in the
ranks, sir, and see that ye behave with
spirit!''
Then turning to his men he shouted:
"An ready, men? Forward!'
There was a rattling of arms, tram
ping of hoofs, prancing and wheeling
of horses as the bandits formed in line
Of march and the cavalcade cantered
two by two from the glade. Placing
himself at its head, Claudius Smith led
the way into broad bride path that
wound through the forest and proceed
ed for about a mile at a rapid gait.
Then the path narrowed and the men
fell in single line, picking their way
along a rugged descent with their
horses at walk.
AS they descended lower and lower
along the mountain side the sun drop
ped from view and gradually the twi-
light deepened. It grew darker and
darker One by one the stars appeared
through openings in the trees overhead,
and at last it became difficult for the
men to descry each other in the deep
ening gloom.
At last they reached the base of the
mountains and struck into an unfre-
quented byroad which ran in a norther-
| ly direction. Here they again formed
two by two and proceeded at canter
until they reached a little spring that
gushed from the side of precipice. At
this place Claudius Smith called a halt
for rest and refreshment. The bandits
dismounted, partook of hasty repast
and after watering their horses at the
spring and quenching their own thirst
with copious drafts of spirits from their
canteens eprang into the saddle again
and resumed their journey.
About 10 in the evening they struck
into highway that wound along the
base of Shawangunk mountain. Then
the command for silence passed from
lip to lip, and they advanced with ex.
treme caution until they came in sight
of great stone farmhouse which stood
at the right Of the road. The shutters
were all closed, and it was evident that
the inmates were sleeping. Robin rec
ognized it at once as the home Of Calet
Shurker, and his heart beat quickly
4 with desire for vengeance.
Captain Smith now called 4 halt anG

At this he broke into horrible laugh
of triumph that sent shiver through
the girls frame.

smiling upon him sweetly, II will meet
you at the Indian rock between here
and Goshen. y Then, deeming it advis-
able to end their interview, she waved
him an adieu and hurriedly returned to
the cavern.
Up to this time she had been SO car
ried away with enthusiasm regarding
her stratagem that she had given no
thought to dts possible miscarriage.
But now that she had an opportunity
to reflect, a terrible idea occurred to
her. What if she should not succeed in
making her escape after all? What II
| her outlaw admirer should suspect her
| design and join her before the appoint
| ed time? She realized that if this hap
pened she would be completely at his
mercy, and the thought made her shud-
der with horror.
While she was absorbed in these
dreadful reflections Edward Robin re-
turned to the cabin, and she determined
to tell him what she had done. So,
peeping cautiously out of the entrance
to make sure that no listeners were
around, she drew him aside and whis-
pered hurriedly:
II have taken desperate step, Ed
ward and want to tell you all about
it. Please don't ask me to explain my
reasons, but listen. I have arranged
with one of our captors to make my
escape from this place tonight. He has
agreed to furnish me with a horse an6

''You know the house, Polly?'

will approve of my design when yo'
know whose it is.
"Then tell me.
1T is Caleb Shurker's, she respond
ed, scrutinizing his face closely to mar

Robins brow darkened vindictively
$50 it's to Caleb Shurker's we're &C

8 ''Thank God for that, for I'll now b
$ revenged.''
e At that moment Tory thrust hi
