refreshing. aromatic scent of pine filed

thought of the Mummelsee. determined
to follow TO its end this new adventure.
The marrow path curved among high
rocks. and Lincoln feared, if he advanc-
ed too fast, to tread upon the heels of
his quarry. Presently the rocks ended,
and the path ran straight through a
thlcket of young pines, closely planted.

quick breath of establishment.
The men he was tracking were nowhere
to be seen ;but at the moment this made
little impression upon his mind, so occu-
pied was he with the amazing thing that
filled the daylight space at the end of the
green tunnel through the trees. For an
instant he recalled Sinbad the Sailor, and
the gigantic roc; for the thing that he
saw resembled a huge bird poised to be

Lincoln hurried on down the cutting IN

The path was perhaps a quarter of a

rapidly away from him. Lincoln darted
forward at a run.
At the abrupt edge of the dark wood
he pulled up, seized with a sudden be-
wilderment. A curious scene spread be-
fore his eyes. He found himself at the
upper edge of a narrow V-shaped valley
scooped out among the mountains by a
glacier-chisel of the dim past. The bot

grass; the sides assembled at a steep angle

as if he were waiting on a prince. With
careful directions as to the path, Lincoln
started again up the narrow mountain
track that led to the lonely heights
where the Mummelsee slept among its
guardian pines.
The mist lightened, and a watery CLEAN
of sunshine pierced like an arrow shaft
through it's woody thickness. Then the
sun retreated again. and a driZzle began,
changing quickly to pelting sheets of
rain. Looking round for shelter, Lincon
saw an overhanging rock at the entrance
to a narrow lateral track that led away
from the main path up to the Mummelsee,
and he craWled under it's lee.
He had lain in his dry hiding place for
perhaps five minutes, listening to the
swish Of the rain as it beat upon the
ground, when an iron-shod foot grated on
rock. Tuning his head, Lincoln saw

the collar as defense from the beating
rain; his eyes secuted to right and left;
he walked like a iran hunting a trail.

ears the melancholy boot of an owl; and

Lincoln waited a minute, then rose, and
followed cautiously.
