He dropped his face In his black

He left them tobacco and pipes, and

he had performed his full duty. The

Then Keith understood, his heart
beating rapidly. his teeth clenched to
keep back an outburst OF passion. So
that was their game. was it?-some
act OF his had awakened the cowardly
suspicious Of those watching him
across the river. They were afraid
that he knew them as white men.

the iron grating being blotted from
sight. Keith, staring in that direction,
failed to perceive any distant glimmer
OF star, and decided the night must be
cloudy, and that time for action had
come. Guided by Neb's pipe bowl
he touched the boy on the shoulder.
Knock out your ashes, and shuttle
about lively with your feet, while I
pry up the board"
In spite Of his slenderness, Keith
possessed unusual strength, yet no ex.
ertion on his part served to start the
loosened plank sufficiently for their
purpose. Ripping a strip from the
bench he managed to pry the hole
somewhat larger, arranging the bench
itself so as to afford the necessary
leverage, but even then his entire
weight failed to either start the
spikes. or crack the plank. Some al
tercation began In the other room, the
sound Of angry voices and shutting
feet being plainly audible It was clear
to Keith that they must take the,
chance Of noise, and no better time,
than this could be chosen.
Here, Neb take hold with me. and
bear down-put your whole weight on
It, boy"
The two flung themselves upon the
end OF the bench, leaping up and down
so as to add weight to power Some
thing had to give, either the stout

slant 1t seemed likely to be the for

long spikes yielded and the board
suddenly gave. With shoulders In
serted beneath. the two men heaved
1t still higher, ramming the bench be-
low SO as to leave the opening clear.
This was now sufficiently ample for
