 Just within the forests edge, where he could yet watch the cliff tops, Tar gan laid his burden upon the grass and. going to the nearby rivulet, brougft water with which he bathed her face md hands, but even this did not revive her, and, greatly worried, he gathered the girl into his strong arms once more and hurried on toward the west.
 Late in the afternoon Jane Porter regained consciousness She did not open her eyes at once She was trying to recall the scenes that she had last witnessed An! She remembered now The altar, the terrible przestess, the de scending knife She gave Httle shud- der. for she thought that either this. was death or that the knife had buried itself in her heart and she was expe- riencing the brief deIirium preceding death.

 The girl rose slowly to her feet and came toward him.
