CHAPTER vll.-contlnued.

She surrendered to the determine
ton in his voice and they moved slow
ly along the path, listening for any
sound that might come from ahead Of
them. Nathaniel had already formed
his plan of action. From Marions
words and the voice In which she had
uttered them he knew that 1t would
be useless for him as it had been for
Neil TO urge her to fee from the Is
land. There remained but one thing
for him TO do, SO he fell back upon the
scheme which he had proposed to
Marion's brother. He realized now
that he might be compelled to play
the game single-handed unless he
could secure assistance from Obadiah.
His ship and men were in the hands
of the Mormons; Neil, in his search
for the captured vessel, stood a large
chance of missing him that night. and in
that event Marion's fate would depend
on him alone. If he could locate a
small boat on the beach back of Oba-
diah's II he could in some way lure
Marion TO it. He gave an involuntary
shudder at the thought of using force
upon the girl at his side, at the
thought of her terror of those first
few moments, her struggles, her
broken confidence. She believed in
him now She believed that he loved
her. She trusted him. The warm
Heft pressure of her hand as 1t chung

to his arm in the blackening gloom of
the forest was evidence of that trust.
She looked into his face anxiously, in
quiringly when they stopped to listen
like a child who was sure of a
stronger spirit at her side. She held
her breath when he held his, she
listened when he listened, her feet fell
with velvet stiffness when he stepped
with caution. Her confidence in him
was like a beautiful dream to Ma
thaniel and he trembled when he pic
tured the destruction Of 1t. After a
little he reached over and as If by ac-
cident touched the hand that was ly-
ing on his arm; he dared more after
moment, and drew the warm little
fingers into his great strong palm and
held them there, his soul thrilled by
their gentle submissiveness. And then
in another breath there came to still
his JOY thought of the terrible power
that chained this girl to the Mormon
king. He longed to speak words of
encouragement to her, to instil hope
in her bosom, to ask her to confide in
him the secret of the shadow which
hung over her, but the memory of
what Neil had said to him held his
lips closed.
They had walked in silence for
many minutes when the girl stopped.

She surrendered again, hesitatingly,
and they went on, more slowly than
before, until they came to where the
! path met the footway that led to
Obadiah's.
"Now-now you must CO." whis-
pered Marion again.
In this last moment Nathaniel crush
ed her hand against his breast, his
body throbbing with a wild tumult,
and half of what he had meant not
to say fell passionately from his lips.
Forgive me back-there

cause love you-love you" He
freed her hand and stood back, choking
the words that would have revealed
his secret. He lied now for the love
of this girl Neil is out there wait.

ing the sound of low voice came to
him through the open door Cautiously
he approached and peered in. A large
oil lamp the light of which he had
seen in the window, was burning on
a table in the big room but the voice
came from the little closet into which
Obadiah had taken him the preceding
night. For several minutes he
crouched and listened. He heard the
chuckling laugh of the old councillor
and then an incoherent raving that
set his blood tingling. There is hor-
ror in the sound of madness horror
that creeps to the very pit of ones

every nerve center, that causes one
who is alone with 1t to sweat with a
nameless fear, 1t was the voice of

strange dread held him .breathless

and listened. And after that quiet
there came suddenly a cry that ended
in the exultant chattering of name.

ears to catch the words that might

thrust half in at the door, Obadiah's
voice became lower and lower, until
at last it ceased entirely. Not step
not deep breath, not the movement
of hand disturbed the stiffness OF
the little room. By inches Nathaniel
drew himself inside the door. His
heavy boot caught in silver on the
step but the rending of wood brought
no response. 1t was the quiet OF
death that pervaded the cabin, 1t was
strange, growing fear of death that
entered Nathaniel as he now hurried
across the room and peered through
the narrow aperture. The old coun

face buried under his shoulders. II
