 The bag was standing in the kitchen door now, still grinning evilly. She watched the eager young man pound upon the low ceiling with three leg ged stool that he had seized from the floor.
 He was pounding vigorously on the roughly boarded ceiling when the sharp voice of the old woman. raised in command. caused him to lower the stool and turn upon her with gleaming, triumphant eyes. The look he saw in her face was sufficient to check his en- terprise for the moment He dropped the stool and started toward her, his arms extended to catch her swaying form. The look of the dying was in her eyes. She seemed to be crrmpling before him.
 He reached her in time, his strong arms grasping the fran. bent figure as it sank to the floor. As he lifted her bodily from her feet. intent upon car rying her to the open air, her bony fingers sank into his arm with the grip of death, and-could he believe his ears!La low, mocking laugh came from her lips.
 i Down where the pebbly house yard merged into the messy banks MT. Hobbs sat tight, still staring with gloomy eyes at the dark little hut up the glen. A quarter of an hour had passed since King disappeared through the doorway. MT. Hobbs was getting 1 nervous.

Hobbs turned at once whirling to fire twice at the unfriendly group. Soon he was out of range. The only thing left for him to do was to ride at once to the city and give the alarm.
 Suddenly his horse swerved and leaped furiously out of stride. stum- bling. but recovering himself almost in- simultaneously. In the same second he heard the sharp crack of frearm far down the unbroken ravine to his left. A second shot came. this time from the right and close at hand. His horse was staggering, swayfng: then down he crashed. Hobbs swinging clear barely in time to escape being pinioned to the ground. A stream of blood was pour ing from the side of the poor beast. Aghast at this,unheard of wantonness, the little interpreter knew not which way to turn. but stood there dazed un- til third shot brought him to his senses. The bullet kicked up the dust near his feet. He scrambled for the heavy underbrush at the roadside and darted off into the roadside, his revolv- CT in his hand, his heart palpitating like mad. Time and again as he fled through the dark thickets he heard the hoarse shouts of men in the distance.
 At 10 o'clock the next morning Colo nel Quinnox and a company of soldiers, riding up from the city gates toward the north in response to call for help from honest herders who reported attacks and robberies of an alarming nature, came upon the stiff. footsore. thorn scratched MT. Hobbs not far from the walls of the town. The colo nel was not long in grasping the sub- stance of Hobbs revelations. He rode off at once for the witchs hovel, send ing Hobbs with small instructed es- cort to the castle. where Baron Dan- gloss was in consultation with Mir. Tul- lis and certain ministers.
 The city was peaceful enough. much to the surprise of Hobbs. No disturb ance had been reported, said the guardsmen who rode beside him. Up in the hills there had been some depre- dations. but that was all.
 "AllY' groaned Mir. Hobbs. "Al! Hang 1t all, man. wot do you call all! You haven't heard 'alf of it yet. tell you, there's been the devil to pay. Wait till the colonel comes back from Ganlook gap. He'll have news Tor you; take it from me, he will. That poor chap 'as gone up. in smoke as sure as my name s Hobbs"
 They met Baron Dangloss near the barracks. across the park from the castle. He was in close, earnest con- versation with John Tullis and Count Halfont, both of whom seemed labor ing under intense excitement.
 The arrival of Hobbs, a pitiful but heroic object. at once arrested the at- tention of every one. His story was heard by most distinguished audi ence.
 "There is nothing supernatural about Kings disappearance" said Tullis sharply. That's all nonsense. He had money about him, and it perhaps turns out that there really was a man at | the crack in the door, a clever brigand who. today has got the better of our vainglorious friend The shooting in the hills is more disturbing than this, to my mind" (TO be continuedl

flew very wide open; his heart experi- enced sudden throbless moment; his mind leaped backward to the unex- plained smoke mystery of the day be- fore. It was on the end of his tongue to cry out to his unseen patron, to urge him to leave the witch to her deviltry and come along home, when the old woman herself appeared in the door way-alOne.
 pulling away at long pipe, her hood ed face almost invisible from the dis tance which he resolutely held. She was no more than a black. inanimate heap of rags piled against the door jamb.
 Hobbs let out a shout. The old wo- man arose and hobbled toward him, leaning upon great cane.
 "Whe-where's MT. King?" called out Hobbs.
 Her arm was raised. bony finger pointing to the treetops above her hovel.
 He's gone Didn't you see him? He went off among the treetops. You won't see him again." She waited a moment and then went on in most ingratiating tones: Would you care to come into my house? I can show you the road he took. You"- But MT. Hobbs, his hair on end, had dropped the rein of Kings horse and was putting boot to his own beast, whirling frantically into the path that led away from the hated. damned spot Down the road he crashed. pursued by witches whose persistence put to shame the efforts of those famed ladies of Tam O Shanter in the long ago. If he had looked over his shoulder he might have discovered that he was followed by riderless horse, nothing more.

 Then. with his heart in his mouth. he slowly began to retrace his steps, walk ing where he had galloped a moment before. A turn in the road caused him to draw rein sharply. A hundred yards ahead five or six men were struggling with r11erless bay horse.
 By Joyew calculated Hobbs. "It's his horse!'
 As he drew nearer it struck him forcibly that the men were not what he had thought them to be. They were an evil looking lot, more like the strik- CTS he had seen in the town earlier in the day. Even IS he was turning the new thought over in his mind one of them stepped out of the little knot and, without a word of warning, lifted his arm and fired point blank at the little Englishman. A pistol ball whizzed close by his head. His horse leapeG to the side of the road in terror, al most unseating him.
