Dawson flung a look back over his shoulder. In the race he had per- haps IS feet the advantage, but Ros-' sitter was the more nimble, and the gap between them speedily narrowed. Soon the two men were not more than five feet apart, and then Daw- son tripped and sprawled headlong. The root upon which he caught his foot, like a wary wrestler, flung him sideways. His crown crushed against tree-trunk, and he collapsed into an inert mass. The pole-puller, thinking him dead, bent over him, to discover that he was only stunned. :,
 Stopping above the repulsiye and evil face, an itching erept into ,Rossi- ter's fingers to seize the hairy throat and choke out the foul life once for all. Then question smote him, and he started back. Would the path he had followed until so short time previous ever have led him to be- come such Ioathsome thing2 He that which had cried murder" in his ears slipped from him. Now he recalled Miss Densmore, and glanced quickly about. A score of yards away stood the girl, her figure tense, her eyes burning upon him in the green l gloom. He hastened towards her.
 'sIs he dead?' she asked, almost in a whisper, as he drew near. l "No," he returned, land more's the pity!-though perhaps shouldn't say it,-he's only stunned.'
 She made no reply, but began walking forward by his side unstead- from head to foot, and he did not know what to do or say. Would she l bear up? he wondered. It was sheer 1 grit that was keeping her from giv- 1 ing way, that was evident. Why didn't her cousin appear? Where was she all this time? If she had re- turned to the house for any reason, 1t was taking her unconscionably long to make the trip there and back, it seemed to him.
 All at once Miss Densmore turned her drawn face, into which the blood now flowed, towards Rossiter. 1"Oh, can't thank you," she be- gan, "there are no words" He cut her short.
 .'I did nothing,' he said. "Fate, or whatever you like to call it, protected you. But how did you chance to be l alone?"
 t'Miriam-Miss Merton-went up to the house for a book. We had come down to the spring at the wood-edge to read, and by mistake she brought the wrong novel. She insisted on go- ing to change it."
 Sylvia! Sylyia!" a voice, in which there was note of alarm, cried at this juncture.
 "Yes, here I am," responded Miss Densmore, and an instant later she and Rossiter stepped into the log ging road short distance from the spring and its shielding willow-tree, beneath which Miss Merton was standing. l CTo be continued)

Bullis Was I'm Prison, Forgotten

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Harry C.. Bulls of Haverstraw, N Y, has made a formal claim for $5O,00O against the government of Venezuela for false i'm prisonment and detention at Maracai- bo. He was in charge of the electric light station at Maracaibo in May, 1900. There was an active revolution on foot, and persons associated with the Elec- tric Light company had stored ammu- milton and explosives in the station. He wished to turn over the stuff to the government, but he was afraid to have it known that he had given the infor- nation. He suggested to the president of the state that the ammunition should be seized and that as blind he should be arrested and then promptly released. His plan was carried out, with the ex- cention of his release

the clutches Of this monster, provided she would avail herself of the brief respite he could offer her. Had the reaction from her fright rendered her incapable of fleeing? He did not dare look about as he leaped agilely now this way and now that, eluding the raging creature who pursued him, but he thought that she might still be crouching not far away, too exhaust ed to fly, gave him intense agony of mind.
 Suddenly Dawson turned from him with an oath, leaped the adjacent rivulet. and plunged into the wood, But little more than 50 yards distant Rossiter was aware of Miss Dens- more's retreating figure. He too crossed the little stream at bound.
