every step adding TO his anxiety Ma
thaniel hurried along the narrow rim
of beach. He went TO the very tip
Of the point which reached out like
the white forefnger of a lady's hand
into the sea; he passed the spot where
10 hesl hasa concealed the preceding
GSS: eES GSoath came f2EssS t-z pzz.-
er; he ran, and called softly, and at
last halted in the arch of the cart
wheel with the fear full-faming in his
breast. Over all those miles of sea
there was no sign of the sloop From
end to end of the point there was no
boat. What did it mean? Breathless-
ly he tore his way through the strip
of forest on the promontory until all
Lake Michigan to the south lay before
his eyes. The Typhoon was gone!
Was it possible that Casey had aban-
dOned hope of Nathaniels return and
was already lying off st. James with
shOtted gun? The thought sent a
shiver of despair through him. He
passed to the opposite side Of the
point and followed it foot by foot, but
there was no sign of life, no distant
flash of white that might have been
the canvas of the sloop Typhoon.
There was only one thing for him
to do-wait. So he went to his hiding
place of the day before and watched
the sea with straining eyes. An hour
passed and his still aching vision saw
no sign of sail; two hours-and the
sun was falling In a binding glare
over the Wisconsin wilderness. At
last he sprang to his feet with hope
less cry and stood for few moments
undecided. Should he wait until night
with the hope of attracting the atten-
tion OF Neil and joining him in his
canoe or should he hasten in the di-
rectiOn of st. James? In the darkness
he might miss Neil, unless he kept
up a constant shouting, which would
probably bring the Mormons down
upon him; if he went to St. James
there was a possibility of reaching
Casey. He still had faith in Obadiah
and he was sure that the old man
would help him to reach his ship: he
might even assist him in his scheme
Of getting Marion from the island.

To Nathaniel this letter had been
a torment. He saw the truth as he
had never seen it befOre-that his
place was back there in Vermont,
with his father and mother: and that
there was something unpleasant in
thinking Of the girl as belonging to
another. But now matters had

inspiration to him and he smoothed
it out with tender care What a refuge

his way again through the thick

heart gave place to a chilling fear. But

He started on, but halted suddenly
with uplifted hand. No longer could
they hear the baying Of the dogs.
'"They've struck the creek!" said
Neil. "Listen!"
After an interval Of silence there
came a long mournful howl
''Treed-treed or in the water, that's
what the bowling means. How Croche
and his devils are bowling now!'
A curse was mingled with Neil's
breath as he forced his way through
the bog. Twenty rods farther on they
came to a slime covered bit of water
on which was floating dugout ca
noe. Immense relief replaced the
anxiety in Nathaniers face as he
climbed into it. At that moment he
was willing to fight hundred men
for Marion's sake, but snakes and boys
and bloodhounds were entirely outside
his pale of argument and he exhibited
no hesitation in betraying this fact to
his companion. For quarter Of a
mile Neil forced the dugout through
water viscid with slime and rotted
substance before the clearer channel
Of the creek was reached. AS they
progressed the stream constantly be-
came deeper and more navigable until
it finally began to show signs of cur
rent and a little later, under the pow
erful impetus Of Neil's paddle, the ca
noe shot from between the dense
shores into the open lake. A mile
away Nathaniel discerned the point of
forest beyond which the Typhoon was
hidden. He pointed out the location
OF the ship to his companion.
You are sure there is small boat
waiting for you on the point?" asked
Neil.
Yes, since early morning"
Neil was absorbed in thought for
some time as he drove the canoe
through the tall rice grass that grew
thick along the edge of the shore.
"How would it be If l landed you
on the point and met you tonight at
