fumes OF his pipe impregnated the
damp air of the room he experienced
sensation of comfort which was in
strange contrast to the exciting hap
penings of the past few days.
He laughed aloud and began pacing
back and forth across the rotted floor
of his prison. And then a flush burned
in his face and his eyes glowed as
he thought OF Meleese- In spite OF
himself she had saved him from his
enemies, and he blessed CrOisset for
having told him the meaning of this
aight into the north. Once again she
had betrayed him, but this time it was
to save his life. and his heart leaped in
joyous faith at this proof OF her love
for him. He believed that he under
stood the whole scheme now. Even
his enemies would think him dead.
They would leave the WelSusko. and
after n time. when It was safe for him
to return. he would be given his free
dom.
With the passing of the hours gloom
Ter thoughts Swallowed these nnticIpa-
tions. In some mysterious way Ne
leese was closely associated with those
who sought his life. and il they disnp-
pearcG she would disappear with
them He was convinced Of thnt.
And Lhen-couid he find her again!
Would she go into the south-to Civj.
Ilzation-or deeper into the untraveed
wllderIesses of the north? In answer
to his question there flashed through
luis mind the words OF Jean Croisset,
"Mseur, l know of a hundred men
between Athabasca and the bay who
would kill you for what you have
said" Yes. she would go into the
north. Somewhere in that vast desc
latIon of which Jean had spoken he
would find her, even though he spent
half OF his life in the search!
1t was past midnight when he spread
out the furs and undressed for bed.
With the breaking of day the hours
seemed OF intermlnabIe length. For a
time he amused himself by searching
every corner and crevice of his prison
room. but he found nothing OF interest
beyond what he had already dIscov-
cred. He examined the door which
Crosset had barred on him and gave
up all hope of escape in that direction.
He could barely thrust his arm
through the aperture that opened out
on the plague stricken cabin.
In no situation had he displayed the
white feather: at no time had he felt
thrill of fear. His couS8J:e and reck-
lessness had terrified Meleese. had as

CHAPTER x.

THE HOUSE OF THE RED DEATH
down the ridge a
low word from Croisset
'IIsI0EsF3 stopped the engineer. Jean
O6fS51D had toggIed his team with a
stout length of babeesh on the noun
thin top. and he was looking back when
Rowland turned toward him. The
sharp edge OF the part of the noun
tain from which they were descending
stood out in clear cut line against the
sky, and on this edge the six dogs of
the team sat squat on their launches,
silent and motionIess. like strangely
carved Gargoyles placed there to guard
the limItless plains below. Rowland
took his pipe from his mouth as he
watched the staring interest of Crois-
set. From the man he looked up again
at the dogs. There was something in
their sphinXlike attitude. in the move
less reaching OF their muzzles out into
the wonderful starlit mystery Of the
still night that filled him with an in
dednable sense of awe. Then there
came to his ears the sound that had
stopped CroiSSet "a low, moaning
whine which seemed to have neither
beginning nor end, but which was
borne in on his senses as though 1t
were a part of the soft movement of
the air he breathed--a note of Infinite
sadness, which held him startled and
without movement, as it held Jean
Croisset. And just as he thought that
the thing had died away the wailinS
came again, rising higher and higher,
until at last there rose over him
single long howl that chilled the blood
to his very marrow. 1t was like the
wolf howl of that first night he had
looked on the wilderness. and yet I'M
like 1t. In the first it had been the cry
OF the savage. of hunger, of the unend-
ing desolation of life that had thrilled
him. In this it was death. He stood
shivering as Croisset came down to
him, his thin face shining white in the
starlight There was no other sound
save the excited beating of life in their
own bodies when Jean spoke.
''M'seur. our dogs howl like that
only when some one is dead or about
to de-" he whispered. cit was Woon-
ga who gave the cry. He has lived for
eleven years, and 1 have never known
him to fail"
There was an uneasy CLEAN in his
eyes.
.I must tie your hands, m'seur."
"But 1 have given you my word.

Rowland thrust his wrists behind
him. and about them Jean twisted a
thong of babeesh.
Il believe l understand he spoke
softly. listening again for the chilling
wall from the mountain top. You
are afraid that / will Kill you"
1T is u warning, m'seur. You might
try. But should probably kill you.
AS it is"-he shrugged his shoulders as
lie led the way down the ridge-''as 1t
is. there is small chance Of Jean Crois-
set answering the call"
May those saints OF yours preserve
me. Jean, but this is all very cheerful!'
grunted Rowland, half laughing In
spite of himself. Now that I'm tied
up again. who the devil is there to die
but mel"
That is hard question, m'seur,"
replied the half breed, with grim seri-
business. Perhaps it is your turn.

Scarcely were the words out of his
mouth when there came again the
moaning howl from the top of the
ridge.
You're getting on my nerves, Jean
you and that Mccursed dog!'
'Silence. n 'Seur!'
Out of the grim loneliness at che
foot OF the mountain there doomed a
shadow, which Mt first Rowland took
to be u huge musS of rock. a few
steps farther and he saw that II was
building. Croisset gripped him firmly
by the arm.
Stay here he commanded. II will
return soon"
For Il quarter of an hour Rowland
waited. Twice In that interval the dog
howIed above him. He was glad when
Croisset appeared out of the gloom.
1T is rs thought. m'seur. There IS
death down here. Come With me-"
The shadow of the big building
shrouded them as they approached.
Rowland could make out that it was
built OF massive logs and that there
seemed to be neither door nor window
on their side. And yet when Jean hest
tated for an instant before blotch of
gloom that was deeper than the others
he knew that they had come to an en-
trance.
Rowland could feel the half breeds
hand clutch him uervously By the arm
as they went step by step into the
black and snnt mystery of the place,
Soon here cume fumbllng of Crois-
sets hand ut latch, and they passed
through second door. Then Jean
struck 81 match.
Half dozen steps away was table
and on the table Il lamp. CroiSset
lighted 1t and with quiet laugh faced
the engineer. They were in low
dungeon like chamber without win
dow and with but the one door
through which they had entered. The
table, two chairs, stove and Il bunk
built against one of the log walls were
all that Rowland could see. But 1t
was not the barrenness of what he Inn
ugined was to be his new prison that
held his eyes in staring inquiry on
CroIsset. 1t was the look in his com
panion's face, the yellow palloE OF fear
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1911-07-17

"A horror-that had taken possession
Of it. The half breed closed and bolted
the door and then sat down beside the
table, his thin face peerinE up through
the sIcl6iy lamp glow ut the engineer.
"Al'senr-.ft would be hard for you to

Rowland waited.
