to listen, to catch the faintest whisper
that might come to him from the
white faced man at his side. Each
passing moment of silence added to
his desperation. He squeezed the
sheriff's hand in his arm, but there
was no responding signal; in a patch
OF thick gloom that almost concealed
the figures ahead he pressed near to
him and lowered his head again
and Jeekum pushed him back fiercely,
with low curse.
They emerged from the forest and
the clear starlight shone down upon
them. A little distance off lay the
lake In shimmering stiffness. Nathan
lei looked boldly at the sheriff now,
and as his glance passed beyond him
ne was amazed at the change that had
come over Neil. The young mans
head was bowed heavily upon his
breast, his shoulders were hunched
forward, and he walked with a list
less, uneven step. Was it possible
that his magnificent courage had at
last given way?
A hundred steps farther they came
to the beach and Nathaniel saw a
boat at the waters edge with a single
figure guarding it. Straight to this
Jeekum led his prisoners. For the
first time he spoke to them aloud.
"One in front, the other in back" he
said.
For an instant Nathaniel found him.
self close beside Neil and he prodded
him sharply with his knee. His COM
panion did not lift his head. He made
no sign, gave no last flashing com
radeship with his eyes, but climbed
into the bow of the boat and sat down
with his chin still on his chest, like a
man lost in stupor.
Nathaniel followed him, scarcely be.

ti1ler He felt a curious thrill pass
through him when he discovered mo-
ment later that this man was Jeekum
Two men seized the oars amidships.
A fourth, with his rifle 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, few inches under the forest
mold, their bodies would never be dis
covered? Each stroke of the oars
added to the remoteness of this pos
sibility. The boat was heading
straight out to sea. Perhaps they were
to meet a less terrible death by drown
ing, an end which, though altogether
unpleasant, held something comforting
in it for Captain Plum. Two hours
labor of the men at the oars. In those
hours not a 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.
It 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 sheriff.

At last he looked up, and Jeekum's
face was far above him, staring
straight and unseeing into the dark
ness ahead His last spark of hope

COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION

81 have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me of q most annoy
ing skin eruption. Tt began by my no
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfguring, did not think any
thing Of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until l could not stand the suffering.
Then [ began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. | lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months l was entirely relieved Of that
awful pest. I am SO delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that
shall be glad to tell anybody about
it." (Signed) G. NJ. Macfarland, 221

CHAPTER XII.
"The STRAIGHT DEATH"

Hands were fumbling with the chain
ut the dungeon door.
1t opened and Jeekum's ashen face
shonein the candle-light. For moment
his frightened eyes rested on the two
men still standing in their last en-
brace Of friendship. A word of be-
trayal from them and he knew that
bis own doom was sealed.
He came in, followed by four men.
One Of them was MacDougall, the
kings whipper. In the corridor were
other faces, like ghostly shadows in
the darkness. Only MacDougalls face
was uncovered. The others were hid
den behind white masks. The men
uttered no sound, but ranged them
selves like specters in front of the
door, their cooked rifles swung into
the crooks of their arms. There was
triumphant leer on MacDougall's
lips as he and the jailer approached.
As the whipper bound Neil's hands
behind his back he Kissed in his ear:
This will be better job than the
whipping, damn you!"
Neil laughed.
Hear that, Nat?" he asked, loud
enough for all in the cell to hear.
"MacDougall says this will be a better
Job than the whipping. He remem-
bers how | thrashed him once when
he said something to Marion one day"
Neil was as cool as though acting
his part in a play. His face was
flushed, his eyes cleaned fearless1y
defiant And Nathaniel looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope Of
life felt a twinge of shame at his
own nervousness. MacDougall grew
black with passion at the haunting re-
minder of his humiliation and tight
ened the thongs about Neil's wrists
until they cut into the flesh.
That's enough, you coward" eX-
| claimed Nathaniel, as he saw the
blood start. "Here-take this.'
Like lightning he struck out and his
fist fell with crushing force against
the side of the mans head. Mac
Dougall toppled back with a hollow
groan, blood squirting from his mouth
and nose. Nathaniel turned cOolly to
the four rifles leveled at his breast
"a pretty puppet to do the kings
commands" he cried. IF there's a
man among you let him finish the
work."
Jeekum had fallen upon his knees
beside the whipper.
Great God" he shrieked. you've
killed him! You've stove in the side
of his head"
There was a sudden commotion in
the corridor. A terrible voice doomed
forth in roar
LET me in"
Strang stood in the door. He gave
single glance at the man gasping
and bleeding in the mud. Then he
looked at Nathaniel. The eyes of the
two men met unf1inching. There was
no hatred now in the prophets face
