brush growing high all around It.
Walking straight ahead, the bearded
man parted the underbrush and with
Gordon following close, they passed
through it and arrived at a 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 were glowing, the bearded man
motioned Gordon to enter, which he
did, the others following Gordon
glanced around There were five
rough banks, with a straw on their
for bedding. There was no stove, but
there was a fireplace in a corner. with
a small chimney leading up from It,
built of sticks of wood plastered with
clay. The only article of furniture
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:
Yer won't be hurried none unless
I
He united the rope that bound Cor
don's arms. one of the other men
standing by with a revolver in his
hand, and added: Maybe yer better
git in one of them hunks till grub
is ready"
Thoughts Busy.
Gordon rubbed the circulation back
in his arms and then lay down. He
had long since made up his mind to
treat the situation good -naturedly
feeling that more could be accom-
plished that way than being nasty
about it. He resolved to trust ia
/ cheerfulness and diplomacy in his in
tercourse with these men. He had
not yet been able to figure out what
| their object was in making him a cap
tive. Perhaps they would demand a
ransom for his release. He could not
satisfy himself how they knew his
name. either The thought flashed
across him that Galen Deery had
! something to do with the matter. Per-
haps the Atlanta capitalist had learn
ed of his companionshtp with Mildred
1t was possible that Sheppard, his
superintendent, had informed him. He
recalled what Mildred had told him
about her fathers vast project and he
tried to connect it with his presen,
predicament.
While his thoughts were busy, the
fire under the pots and pans was
busy, too. Three of his captors be-
gan eating at once, while the fourth
stood guard over Gordon with a six
shooter in his hand. Evidently they
had planned the whole thing out n
advance, as they had not spoken to
each other since entering the cabin.
After eating a hearty meal of ba-
con, corn cakes, stewed beans and
crackers, Gordon stretched himself,
smiled and announced that he felt
better He thought the other men
probably felt in better humor. too,
so he tried to start a little CONVEX
sation.

When Mildred received these lines
(Which she did the following morn
ing) she must have thought it a
queer letter to get from the man she
was so worried about. 1t was not
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 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
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 Gordon's arms had been re-
moved, one of the four men had re-
manned within ten feet of the cap,
tive with a 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
sulky; they simply refused to talk, so
at last Gordon requested that he
might be allowed to retire for the
night

No Secret About WOman's Beauty

The flashing eye, the elastic step

As if this answer were a signal for
attack, the four men closed in on
him. 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.
What's the meaning Of this?" de-
handed the prisoner.
The man with the black beard an
swered

pOPE'S CONDITION

Rome. April lp.--At noon today

and his intermlti.n pulse wer. still

Professor Marchaflaya said after
his morning visit that he considered
til" unchanged conditions as an in
iication for a decided turn to the
better. Th. only specific appTohcu-
sion was weakness.
Ia the churches of Rome this
morning special prayers were offered
for the recovery of the Pope.
DR. Amici, who spent the night at
tue Pop.'s bedside, said this morning
that the patien, rested sufficiently
well. His temperature Is now "a lit
tie aUOvc 81.
DR.. hmici denied most emphatic

Pope is suffering from nephritis and
reiterated that the whole trouble Is

Influenza. The physician declared
that he hopes by next week the Pope

Immediately surrounding the Pope,
who say the situation Is grave. They
assert that an cNamination made by

Professor Marchiafava this after
noon gave confirmation of the con-
tinuancc Of the Improvement in the
Eopo's condition. He said that his
only fear was that complications
might arise more especially through
lack of nourishment owing to tho
absence of appetite. Efforts will bc
made to administer artificial nour-
ishmenr.
Eight hundred Polish pilgrims ar
rived today and went to the vatican.
As they were not allowed TO see tho
pope they marched around the piazza
in procession, chanting prayers and
sing ing hymns. Many of them were
peasants wearing their national cos
tune. but many others were mem
hers of old Polish nobility, including
some princes.
