And the following day was TO see
the marriage take place.
CHATTER. XVI.
The Priest.
After Beltano left me I sat for .
time thinking over the interview In .
mood Of profound detection and con-
suming anxiety.
I was not much concerned about the
vague threats against myself; al
though 1t was intensely disquieting to
know that the instant set foot on the
mainland I should be in danger OF ar
rest. I do not believe that he himself
would take any steps to give me up.
1t was clear that In the past had had
his confidence. He had been very anx-
ious for my escept on the night Of vi
cino's death and could gamble on II
that he had told me many secrets the
disclosure OF which he would fear II
he played me any trick.
His attitude in the talk I had just
had with him confirmed this. He had
been in furious temper on entering
my hut: but had been quick to restrain
himself and to pretend that our rela-
tions were as friendly as ever. In q
man of his reckless. overbearing dis
position this was prof. of a reluctance
to quarrel with me; and there could
be but one reason for this--fear Of
what he thought knew and could tell.

mediate test and went of to the boats
He had kept his word: and Luigi
raised no objections now to my going
out. cruised about for an hour or SO,
doing as much thinking as I could over
the position and trying to form some
sort OF plan.
My FIRST idea was to attempt to get
Masita away that night; but was
convinced that after the suspicious
Molta had raised In Beltano's mind
followed by what had passed between
us he would keep such q close watch
on her as to render that impossible.
l must devise some other scheme;
but cudgei my wits as I would could
think OF none; and returned to the
island as puzzled as ever.
Then / had the first evidence OF
Beltanos change toward me. On GO
ing to the old fort I found Ahmst. the
Turk, at Breva's post. and he told me
was not to enter the place.
I would not stand this. I'VE have
been good friends, Ahmet, and we need
not quarrel; but / arm going In"

another Of those abrupt, tree.clad hum
mocks Of the southern Appalechians. In
between, almost under the eye OF her
dwelling, was little log cabin, old and
abandoned shelter under an immense
yellow pine. secluded, quiet, restful. 1t
was just such cabin as might have been
duplicated a hundred times in a hundred
mile drive through the mountains; but
the lowlands know little Of the noun
tains, and at that time the Sunday Lady
knew little Of the mountaineers. This
cabinet charmed her eye one day, and
with enthusiastic labor she turned it
into a den OF comfort, place for iding
and for working, for inviting her soul
and enjoying the peace and quiet Of the
dreamy wood But it was this little
cabin which was destined to bring her
face to face with the great work Of her
life this which was to place her on a
plane Of understanding with those other
cabin dwellers on the distant mountain
