Walking straight ahead, the bearded
man parted the underbrush and with
Gordon following close they passed
through IL and arrived at log cabin,
evidently Of recent construction.
BY this time it was almost dark.
One of the men stepped inside the
cabin and lighted two or three tallow
candles, after which he set about pre-
pairing the evening meal When the
candles We're glowing, the bearded NAV
motioned Gordon to enter which he
did, the others following. Gordon

there was a fireplace in a corner, with
a small chimney leading up from it,,
built of sticks of wood plastered with

in the room was a rude bench. The
bearded man then spoke the first
words he had uttered since the march
began. He said to Gordon:

Gordon rubbed the circulation back

not yet been able to figure out what

across him that Galen Deery had
something to do with the matter. Per

superintendent, had informed him. He
recalled what Mildred had told him

When Mildred received these lines
(Which she did the following morn
ing) she must have thought it
queer letter to get from the man she
was so worried about 1t was not
a love letter nor did it seem to say
much of anything in any definite de
gree. Yet Gordon had deliberately
written it that way, trusting to the
girls ingenuity to decipher the hid
den meaning. As a matter of fact,
the meaning was so little hidden that
Gordon, as he wrote It, had doubts
as to whether it would pass muster.
The Message Sent,
Gordon folded the sheet Of paper
twice, addressed il on the back to
Miss Mildred Deery and handed it to
the blaCk-b bearded man. who read it
slowly: so slowly in fact, that Cor
don feared he had discovered the
simple cryptogram. But at last the
mountaineer nodded and placed the
letter in his pocket. whereat Gordon
breathed with relief. Later in the
evening the letter was given to the
youngest of the four who after re-
Ceiving instructions from the beard
ed man. given in too low a tone for
Gordon to distinguish the words, sad
died a horse that was tethered near
by, mounted him and rode off in the
darkness.
From the moment the rope that
bound Gordons arms had been re-
moved, one Of the four men had re-
NAMED within ten feet of the cap
tive, with revolver in his hand
Every action of the mountaineers
indicated that they meant business
and Gordon had long since made up
his mind that he would not attempt
to escape that night At intervals he
endeavored to draw his CaptOrs into
conversation, but without success.
They were not sullen, or gloomy, or
sullJy; they simply refused to talk, so
at last Gordon requested that he
might be allowed to retire for the
night

Gordon a Prisoner

As if this answer were a signal for
ttack, the four men closed in on
aim. one Of them had a rope and he
attempted to pinion Gordon's arms.
Though taken completely by surprise.
Gordon put up a desperate struggle.
but was quickly overpowered by the
four men, all Of whom seemed pos
sessed of uncommon strength. His
arms were tied behind his back and
he was commanded to walk forward.

handed the prisoner

Gordon saw that all four men were
armed, though the black bearded man
was the only one TO make a display
Resistance was useless and might
bring him needless injury. so without
further words he walked ahead in the
direction indicated feeling that in a
short time the whole thing would be
explained and he would be allowed to
go free. His captors followed the
brook for nearly a mile and then
turned off toward the northwest They
crossed the path Of the cyclone, which
mad long since passed in its fury
leaving destruction in its wake and
continued on through thick forests
and over rough and wild mountain
