Cuticura Soap and hot water and
battle freely for some minutes. Re-
peat morning and evening. At other

tiller. He felt a curious thrill pass
through him when he discovered a mo-
ment later that this man was Jeek,Im.
Two men seized the oars amidsbips.
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
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 sheriff's
knees. He knew that he was under
stood. and yet there came no answer.
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
went out.

that his magnificent courage had at

him sharply with his knee. His COM

into the bow of the boat and sat down

1.-THE Straight Death"

Hands were fumbling with the chain
At the dungeon door.
It opened and Jeekum's ashen face
shone in the candle-light For a 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
his own doom was sealed.
He came in. followed by four men,
One of them was MacDougall. the
kings whipper. In the corridor we're
other faces, like ghostly shadows In
the darkness. Only MacDougalrs 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
a triumphant leer on MacDougall's
lips as he and the jailer approached
AS the whipper bound Neil's hands
behind his back he hissed in his ear:
This will be a 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 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 play. His face was
flushed. his eyes cleaned fearlessly
defiant. And Nathaniel, looking upon
the courage of this man, from under
whose feet had been swept all hope Of
life. felt 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 Neils 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
nst 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!"

alarm had been set off by one of the
hens falling from the roost.
