She felt a glow of warmth and life
responding to her rapid locomotion
And at last she came upon road.
1t led apparently westward; doubt
less, she thought, to the village she
was seeking. Perhaps North Winog
was now no more than half a mile
away-and still no sign of pursuers
in the rear.
1t was strange still world of gray
and black, with skeleton trees against
the restless sky, and huge abysses OF
shadow in the far off woods, and lakes
of dull snow in the meadows. 1t was
frozen to lifelessness, stilled to the
silence of death.
Thurley went on. 1t seemed end
less, this road, and its course was
altered, at curve here and there, till
directions were all confused. Dark
clouds had blotted out the stars, and
from time to time furry of snow was
driven fercely earthward on the wind
a mile at the end of half an hour Of
ceaseless hurry. She had gone more
nearly two-and by then was six from
the nearest town and leaving it farther
behind. She had nothing by way OF
plan, save to go and go till she came
to North Winog. She had slowed to
a steady, active gait; but doubts
were beginning in her mind.
An hour out, she halted, glancing
about her in bewilderment, wondering
whittier she had come. Long before
this, as she felt convinced, the village
should have been encountered. 4
realizing sense that she must have
chosen the wrong direction came dis
couragingly upon her.
She dared not return and so ap-
proach the house from which she had
escaped; she felt little WEAKNESS and
a dread of being lost. The chill of
the breeze would not permit long halt
ing in the road. She must go, and keep
on going, she knew-but where?
Il shall come to something finally,
she told herself in bravery; and on
ward she trudged as before.
At midnight she was all but ex-
hausted. The chain about her waist
was cold and heavy. A new despair
was at her heart. To go on all nj ght
was hardly possible; to sink by the
road, in such a bitter atmosphere.
would mean to perish long before
dawn. She felt the road must ter
inmate at last at farm, if nothing
more. Anything now as a shelter
from the wind would be as a haven
of rest. The snow was deeper in the
road, and her feet were heavy with its
weight and constant retarding.

Chapter xxx.
A Desperate Flight


and expecting an almost immedi-
ate demand for admission to the room
by some of the men, Thurley stood
holding one end of the chain like god
dcss released from bondage. She was
almost prepared for fight for her life,
had the moment demanded fierce and
desperate stand.
But nothing happened. Her color,
having fled, crept back once more, as
her fever and hope burned anew. She
was free in part; she must take adj
vantage of her moment.
The window was her only concern.
To attempt escape by the stairs and
door was thought far too frightening
for moments entertainment. She
was certain that some, if not ALL of the
men were below in their usual quarters.
The room afforded nothing in the
nature of a rope. She knew from her
former examination that the window
was far too high from the frozen ground
and snow for leap, or even drop.
She had heard of captives tearing the
sheets of a bed to form an escaping
strand.
Wrapping half of the chain about
her waist and securing the end with
the wire. she tumbled the bed clothes
over wildly. to find there were no sheets.
She remembered the fact, for moment
forgotten in excitement. But two of the
blankets were old. She dragged them
out and attempted to part them with
her hands. The hens at the ends re-
sisted stubbornly. She bit at and tore
them with her teeth. Once they were
severed, she made Roadway faster, using
Jaws and hands together The blankets
were torn into three strips each; then
she knotted their ends together.
Zagorsky stirred and partially rose,
goaded by some latent force that fire.
quently possessed her in her sleep,
rousing her even to walking. "Pelevin!"
she said, apparently staring at Thurley.
In sickening fright the girl let fall
her strips of cloth, as the woman sank
back in her bed.
Cold moisture broke on Thurley's
brow Her heart throbbed like an en-
CINE in her breast 1t seemed as if the
horrid inefficiency of a nightmare
numbed and paralyzed her actions. Yet
she soon resumed her task Fear had
electrified her ingenuity, rs courage had
steeled her nerves.
She tied her rope" to the table
leg that was nearest the window, at
last, and slightly raised the sash, to
drop the end. The window came down
again Immediately, its loose old skeleton
frame. Once more its noise awoke the
Thurley's bosom. A gush of the whit
