uttered no sound. but ranged them

door. their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms. There was
a triumphant leer on MacDougall's
lips as he and the jailer approached.
As the whipper bound Neil's hands

the knees OF the man who took the

through him when he discovered a mo-

Two men seized the oars amidships.
A fourth. with his rife across his
knees, sat facing Neil.
For the first time Nathaniel found
himself wondering what this voyage
meant. Were they to be rowed far
down the shore to some secret fast
ness where no other ears would hear
the sound Of the avenging rifles, and
where, a few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke OF the oars
added to the remoteness Of this DOS

passed without pause in the steady
labor Of the men at the oars. In those
hours not word was spoken. The
two men amidships held no communi-
cation. The guard in the bow moved
a little now and then only to relieve
his cramped limbs. Neil was abso-
lutely motionless. as though he had
ceased to breathe. Jeekum uttered
not whisper.
1t was his whisper that Nathaniel
waited for. the signaling clutch OF his
fingers. the sound OF his breath close
to his ears. Again and again he
pressed himself against the sherifrs
