So far he had been Surprisingly sue.
cessful. but In the darkness there was,
no possibility of making a proper
search. At this disappointment No
dropped to the floor and began to cry
like a child, but in silence. Then sud-
denly. in the midst Of his outburst, he
stopped, for his eye caught on the
hearth a glimmer of q spark. Eager
ly he rose, and STOPPING over the gratis
found it quite hot. He blew gently
on the spark, and soon coaxed little
blaze from the end of charred los..
Round the hearth lay some smaller
pieces of wood, warm and dry as tin
der. One of these he lighted and,
using it as torch, explored the room.
It was almost bare, the only fur
niture being round table and big
sea chest. There was indeed a cup
board against the partition wall, but
it was locked and defied all his ef-
forts to force it open. In the chest he<
found only some old clothes, the pock-
cts quite empty, couple OF books,
few tools and an oil can. The small
back room was absolutely bare ex'
cept for washing sink.
There remained the bedroom, ana
he hurried upstairs, only to find the
door was securely fastened. While
he was trying to force his way in he
heard footsteps outside. Instantly his
terror of the formidable Weasel re-
turned in full strength. He flew down
the narrow stairs, flung his torch on
the floor and, needless of the pain,
stamped his. naked foot upon it. The
steps grew nearer and his alarm be-
came frantic He pulled up the lid of
the chest and tried to- squeeze himself
into it, but it was too marrow. The
table had NO cloth and afforded no
shelter.

CHAPTER xr.i.

The same evening, about o'clock.
Nellie was standing on the vicaragc
porch, looking into the darkness with
q disconsolate face. 1t was deadly
dull, for the vicar had gone with his
sister to whist party aL the Knoll,

AS she stood there, wondering how
she should pass the hour which vet
remained before bedtime, she heard

Her first guess was Mr. Leife-hsr

saw emerging from the shadow of the

CHAPTER xli.-(Continued.


There was. too. a strange. damp,
earthly smell very different from the
freshness OF the salt wind across the
open levels OF the sea. At a word from
Ruffidgc the men boated their oars,
and as they did SO their skiff passed
another and larger boat, apparently Sc
cured in some way: empty. she seem
ed. but very low in the water. Neither
uncle nor ncphews appeared to notice
her. The former stood, a boat hook in
his right hand, guiding their course
and keeping the skiff's head from the
rocks which rose on both sides Ot
them. They seemed to be threading
a narrow, winding channel and as
Mr.. l.cife put out his hand he felt it
sharply graZed by the rough sand
stone and knew they must be moving
pretty fast. Suddenly. high up on their
left hand. Il pale, shostly light gleam-
ed for a moment. then disappeared.
Rufiidgc leaned over across The
rowers and touched the curatc's arm.
"Thc:c's something wrong with this
boat" lie hispcred; shes filing
fast. It's all that little fiends work,
believe. I'm going to try to climb up
here; there's some sort OF an opening
l saw up there. See if you can keep
her steady for a moment with this"
And he handed over the boat hook.
Then he rose in the boat, which
rocked violently in spite of all Mr..
Leife's efforts to steady her. The next
moment he was gone. There was a
sound of scrap.ng. some fragments of
stone came Gathering down. and
o:niaous sound-splashcd in the boat.
Indeed, the curate could not feel the
water swishing round his feet, and
much he wondered that he had not no.
ticed it before.
"Now, Dave; now, SAM" came a
whisper from above; "up here; it's
the only chance"
BY this time the water was fairly
pouring into the boat, and, as the
young fellows rose and clambered up,
instead Of riding more lightly, she
seemed to settle down the faster.
Now. sir. hold out your hand, came
the whisper again.
The curate stood up, and as he did
SO he felt the boat sinking under him.
He stretched his right hand upward,
and as he did so his fingers seized
projection. At that moment the light
from above shone out again. but now
so brightly that it dazzled their eyes.
He heard a loud rumble Of something
falling fast toward him. He heard,
too.> what sounded like an agonized
cry of warming lnstfnctively he threw
his head or one side an dsomething
struck him heavily on the left shoul-
der. He felt sudden blow, followed
by a sharp throb Of pain; then came a
plunge into the hurrying water. After
that he lost all consciousness.
