alongside the bank.
Lucky for him, you mean. I'll take

entered the skiff.
Slowly the clearing lifted out of the
darkness, then the keel boat became
distinguishable; and Darlington
checked the skif by q backward
stroke of the oars.
"Hello!" he called.
There was no immediate answer to
his hail, and he called again as he
sent the skitf forward. He felt that
he was rfsking all now.

voice.
"You want Elossen!" quickly
prompted the girl in a whisper.

He heard GIosson's shutting step In
the distance, q word or two when he
spoke grufly to some one, and a mo
ment later he saw Betty and the boy,
their forms darkly silhouetted against
the lighter sky as they moved along
the top Of tho bank. Slosson, with
out any superfuous gallantry, helped
his captives down the slope and
aboard the keel boat, where he looked

"All my life"
The line had been last on, and the
crew with their setting poles were
forcing the boat away from the bank.
All was quietly done; except for an
occasional order from Darlington no
word was spoken, and soon the un-
wieldy craft glided into the sluggish
current and gathered way. Mr.. Slos-
son, who clearly regarded his relation
to the adventure as being of an Off
cial character, continued to stand at
Carrington's elbow.
What have we between here and

opportunity to ask questions.

added, nodding ahead.
The shores drew rapidly together;
They were leaving the lakerlike e1-

the rustling Of the trees, Darlington
heard the first fret of the river against
