Jacob had neglected to relieve him.
Then a sharp, spiteful cracking
brought him suddenly to a sitting posi-
ton, to find that the Indian bad
thoughtfully touched a match to the
pyre before departing. At Alan's feet
the twigs were blazing merrily.
1t would have been easy enough,
acting on instinct, to snatch his limbs
away, but he did not nov more than
to strain his feet as far as their bonds
permitted. Conscious of s%corching
heat even through his hunting boots.
he suffered that torture until a tongue
of flame licked up, wrapped itself
round the thick henpen cord and ate
1t through.
Immediately Alan kicked his feet
free, lifted to a kneeling position. and
crawled from the pyre.
AS for his hands-Alan's hunting
knife was still in its sheath belted
to the small Of his back. Tearing at
the belt with his hampered fingers, he
contrived to shift 1t round until the
sheath knife stuck at the belt-loop
over. his left hip. Withdrawing and
conveying the blade to his mouth, he
gripped it firmly between his teeth.
and sawed the cords round his wrists
against the razor-sharp blade.
Before Alan could turn and run he
saw a vanguard of flames bridge so
yards at a bound and start a dead
pine blazing like a torch.
And then he was peltng like a mad
man across the smoked-filled clearing,
and in less than two minutes broke
from the forest to the pebbly shore Of
a wide-bosomed lake, and within a
few hundred feet Of a substantial
dam, through whose spillway a heavy
volume Of water cascaded with a a
rivaling that of the forest-ire itself.
Two quick g~lances showed Alan two
things: that his only way Of escape
was via the dam; that there was a
solitary canoe at mid-lake, bearing
swiftly to the farther shore Judith
Urine and the Indian-the latter WELD
ing the paddle.
In the act Of turning toward the
dan he saw Jacob drop the paddle.
The next instant a bullet from a Win
chester 80 kicked up a squirt of peb-
bles only a few feet in advance Of
Alan.
He quickened his pace, but the next
bullet fell closer, while the third &C
tually bit the earth beneath his run
ming feet as he gained the dam.
Exasperated, he pulled up, whipped
out his pistol and fired without aim.
AT the same time, he noted that the
distance between dam and canoe had

Alan delayed long enough only to
swallow a few mouthfuls Of raw food,
gulped water from a spring, and set
out at a dog-trot on the trail to Spirit
Lake.
For hours he Numbered blindly on,
holding to the trail mainly by instinct.
At length, painting, gasping, half
blinded, hi staggered into a little nat
ural clearing and plunged forward
headlong, so bewildered that he could
not have said whether he was tripped
or thrown; for eve as he stumbled a
heavy body landed on his back and
crushed him savagely to earth.
In less than a minute he was over
come; his wrists hitched together, his
ankles bound with heavy cord.
When his vision cleared he found
Jacob within a yard, regarding him
with a face as immobile as though 1t
had Oeen cast in the bronze it resem-
bled.
Beyond, to n side, a woman in
a mans hunting costume stood eye.
ing the captive as narrowly as the In
dian, but unlike him with a counte-
nance that seemed aglow with a fierce
exultancy over his downfall.
But for that look, he could have be-
lieved hers the face that had brought
him overseas to this mortal pass. Fea-
ture for feature, even to the hue OF
her tumbled hair, she counterfeited
the woman he loved; only those eyes,
afiame with their look of inhuman
ruthlessness, denied that the two were
one.
He sought vainly to speak. The
breath rustled in his parched throat
like wind whispering among dead
leaves.
Thrusting the Indian roughly aside,
the knelt in his place by
Alan's head.
NO." she said, and smiling cruelty,
shook her head-"no, | am not your
Rose. But I am her sister, Judith, her
twin, born in the same hour, daughter
of-can you guess whose daughter?
But see this!" She flashed a card
from within her hunting shirt and held
1t before his eyes. You know it, eh?
The trey Of hearts-the symbol OF
Trine-Trine, your fathers enemy,
and yours. and-Rose's father and
mine! So, now, perhaps you know"
A gust of wind like a furnace blast
swept the glade. The woman sprsng
up, glanced Over-shoulder into the for
est and cipDod RI tho Indian
I'm ten minutes" she said, these
woods will be your funeral pyre."
She stepped back. Jacob advanced,
picked Alan up, shouldered his body,
and strobe back into the forest. Ten
feet in from the clearing he dropped
the helpless man supine upon a bed Of
dry logs and branches.
Then. with a single movement. he
disappeared.

TO drag the woman up out Of the

to drag the woman up out Of the
Ing Jaws Of death.
Somehow that impossible feat was
achieved; somehow the woman gained
a Mold upon his body, shifted it to his
belt, contrived inexplicably to Chamber
over him to the timbers; and some
how he in turn pulled himself up to
safety, and sick with reaction sprawled
prone, lengthwise upon that foot-wide
brldge, above the screaming abyss.
Later he became aware that the
womal had crawled to safety on the
farther shore, and pulling himself to-
Cether, initiated her example. Solid
earth underfoot, he rose and stood
~swaying, beset by a great weakness.
Through the gathering darkness
snastly twilight in which the flaming
forests on the other shore burned with
an unearthly glare-he discovered the
wan, writhen face of Judith Urine
close to his and he heard her voice, a
scream barely audible above the COM
mingled voices of the conflagration
and the cascades:
You fool! Why did you save me?
| tell YOU. | have sworn your DEATH"
The utter gro~tesqueness of it all
broke upon his intelligence like the
revelation of some enormous funda-
mental absurdity in Nature. He
laughed a little Historically.
Darkness followed. A flash of light
ming seemed to fame between them
like a fiery sword. To its crashing
thunder, he lapsed into unconscious
ness.
When he reused, it was with a shiv-
er and a shudder. Rain was falling
in torrents from a sky the hue Of
slate. Across the lake dense volumes
of steam enveloped the fires that
tainted beneath the deluge. A great
Kissing noise filled the world, muting
ever the roar Of the spillway.
He was alone.
But in his hand, tattered and bruised
by the downpour, he found-a rose.

had none beyond a hunting knife belt
ed at the small of his back. All else
had been either consumed in the for
est fire or stolen by his Indian guide
who had subsequently died while at
tempting to murder his employer.
Since that event, the la had suo-
ceeded in losing himself completely.
In seeking shelter from the thunder
storm, he had lost touch with his only
known and none too clearly located
landmarks. Then, after a night passed
without a fire in the lee Of a ragged
bluff. he had walked to discover the
sun rising In the west and the rest OF
the universe alphabetically upside
down; and aimlessly ever since he had
stumbled and ~blundered in the maze
of those grimly reticent Businesses, for
the last few hours haunted by q fear
Of failing reason-possessed by q no
ton that he was logged by furtive
e~nemies-and within the last hour the
puppet Of blind, witless panic.
But even as he strove to calm him
self and rest, the feeling that some
thing was peering at him from behind
q mask of underground grew intoler-
ably acute.
At length he jumped up, glared Wild
ly at the spot where that something
no longer was, flung himself fran
tically through the brush In pursuit OF
II, and-found nothing.
With q great effort he pulled HIM
self together, clamped his teeth upon
the promise not again to give way to,
Authorizations. and turned back 70 the

CHAPTER v.
The Hunted Man,

That day was hot and MINDLESS with
an u~nclouded sky-a day of brass and
burning.
Long before any sound audible to
human ears disturbed the MONDAY
hush, a bobcat summing on a log in a
glade to which no trail led, pricked
ears, rose, glanced W. shoulder with
a snarl and-of a sudden was no more
there.
Perhaps two minutes later a success
sion Of remote crashings began to be
heard, a cumulative volume Of sounds
made by some heavy body forcing by
main strength through the un~derbrush,
and ceased only when a man broke,
into the clearing, pulled up, stood for
an instant swaying, then reeled to q
seat on the log, pillowing his head on
arms folded across his knees and shud-
dering unc%ontrollably In all his limbs.
He was a young man who had been
and would again be very personable.
Just now he wore the look Of n
bounded by furies. His face was GRIM
son with congested blood and streaked
with sweat and CRIME; blush veins
throbbed in high relief upon his tenn
pies; his lips were cracked and swoE
len, his eyes haggard, his hands torn
and bleeding. His shirt and trousers
and CRUISERS" were wrecks, the latter
scorched, charred, and broken in a
dozen places. Woods equipment he

lessened ~perceptibly, thanks to the
strong current sucking through the
spillway.
His shot flew wide, but almost in
stinctively his finger closed again
upon the trigger, and he saw the pad
die snap in twain, it's blade falling
overheard. And then the Indian fired
again, his bullet droning past Alan's
ear.
AS he fired in response Jacob start
ed, dropped his rifle and crumpled up
in the bow of the canoe.
simultaneously earth and heavens
rocked with a terrific clap of thun-
der.
He turned again and ran swiftly
along the dam, toward two heavy tim
bers that bridged the torrent of the
spillway.
Then a glance aside brought him up
with a thrill Of horror; the suck Of
the overflow had drawn the canoe
within a hundred yards of the spill
way. The dead Indian in It's bow, the
living woman helpless in its stern,
1t swept swiftly onward to destruc-
ton.
His next few actions were wholly
unprecedented. He was conscious
only of her white, staring face, her
strange likeness to the woman that he
loved.
He ran out upon the bridge, threw
himself down upon the innermost tim
Der, turned, and let his body fall back
ward, arms extended at length, and
swung, braced by his feet beneath
the outer timber.
With a swiftness that passed con-
scious thought, he vas aware of the
canoe hurting onward with the speed
of wind, its sharp prov apparently
aimed directly for his head. Then
hands closed round his yristsa like
clamps: a tremendous weight tore at
his arms. and with IN effort of moon
ceiyable diflculty- he began to- lift.
