CHAPTER xl.
introducing Peter.


1t was a new country to me that we
~traversed, a rolling country, but not
thickly settled, although the road ap-
peared to be a ~well-beaten track. The
gloom, coupled with the rapidity of
our movements, prevented me from
seeing anything other than those dim
objects close at hand, yet We were
evidently travelling almost straight
east. endeavored to enter into con-
versation with the two fellows riding
on either side of me, but neither one
so much as turned his head In re-
Spouse to my voice, and | soon tired
of the attempt. The night told me
little OF who they might be, although
they were both in the uniform OF the
Queens Rangers, the one called Peter
on my right a round. squat figure, and
bald.headed, his bare scalp shining
oddly when once he removed his
cooked hat; the other was an older
man, with gray chin beard. and gilt
tering display OF teeth.
The movements Of my horse caused
the ropes to iacerate my wrists and
ankles the pain increasing so that
once or twice l cried out. The fell
lows guarding me did not even turn
their heads, hut the lieutenant drew
up his horse SO al to block us.
What is the trouble? Are you
hurt?"
These ropes are tearing into the
flesh," l groaned. I'D be just az safe

I saw him lean forward, shading his
face with one hand, as he stared
