CHAPTER v.
The Hunted Man.

ne hunteo MAN,
That day was hot and MINDLESS with
an unclouded sky-a day of brass and
burning.
Long before any sound audible to
human ears disturbed the MONDAY
hush, a bobcat summing on log in q
glade to which no trail led, pricked
ears, rose, glanced over shoulder with
snarl and-of sudden was no more
there.
Perhaps two minutes later 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 underbrush,
and ceased only when a man broke
into the clearing, pulled up, stood for
an instant swaying, then reeled to a
seat on the log, pillowing his head on
arms folded across his knees'an shud-
dering uncontrollably in all his limbs.
He was young man who had been

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 swol-
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

"oh, Come, come!" She Cried Wildly.
The girl was silent. He endured ner
stare for a long minute, a spark OF
rage kindling to flame the evil old eyes.
Then his one living member that
had power to serve his iron will,
hand like the claw of bird Of prey,
moved toward a row of buttons sunk
in the writing-bed of his desk.
II warn you I have ways to make
you speak"
With a quick movement the girl
bent over and prisoned the bony wrist
in her strong fingers. With her other
hand, at the same time, she whipped
open an upper drawer of the desk and
took from it z revolver which she
placed at a safe distance.
ITO the contrary" she said quietly,
"you will remember that the time has
passed when you could have me pun
ished for disobedience. You will call
nobody: If interrupted, shan't hest
tate to defend myself. And now"-lay-
ing hold of the back of his chair, she
moved it some distance from the desk
-"you may as we'll be quiet while I
find for myself what I wish to know"
For moment he watched in silence
as she bent over the desk, rummaging
its drawers. Then with an Infatuated
gesture of his left hand, he began to
curse her.
She shuddered little as the black
oaths blistered his thin old lips, dedi-
eating her and all she loved to sin,
infamy and sorrow; but nothing could
stay her in her purpose. He was
breathless and exhausted when she
Strengthened up with an exclamation
Of satisfaction, studied intently for
moment a sheaf Of papers, and thrust
them hastily into her handbag, togeth-
or with the revolver.
Then touching the push-button
which released secret and little-used
door, without backward glance she
slipped from the room and, closing the
door securely, within another minute
had made her way unseen from the
house.

There was no other living thing n

the river and saluted him with Z
shrek Of hooking laughter.
The place was cleft in the hills,
q table Of level land some few acres
In area, bounded on one hand. be-
meath the Cliff from which he had
dropped, by a rushing river fat with
recent rains; on the other by a second
Gill OF equal height. Upstream the
water curved round the shoulder of q
towering hill. downstream the cliffs
closed upon it until it roared through
narrow gorge.
Near the camp, upon a strip of
shelving beach that bordered the river
where 1t widened into q deep, dark
pool, two canoes were drawn up, bot
toms to the sun. Dense thickets Of
pines, oaks, and balsams hedged In
the clearing.
He was, 1t seemed, to be left severe

Alan passed a hand across his eyes.

a shot interrupted him, the report
Of rifle from considerable distance
upstream, echoed and re-echoed by the
cliffs. And at this, clutching fran
tically at his arm, the girl drew him
through the door and down toward the
river.

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 man had sue.
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 night passed
without 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 Numbered in the maze
of those grimly reticent Businesses, for
the last few hours haunted by fear
of failing reason-possessed by no
ton that he was logged by furtive
enemies-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
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
It. and-found nothing.
With a great effort he pulled HIM
self together. clamped his teeth upon
the promise not again to give way to
hallucinations, and turned back to the
clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested. he found-but refused to
believe he saw-a playing card, a
trey Of hearts, face up in the sun
glare.
With a gesture Of horror, Alan Law
ned the place.
While the sounds Of his fight were
still loud, grinning half-breed guide
stole like a shadow to the log, laughed
derisively after the fugitive, picked up
and pocketed the card, and set out
in tireless, cat-footed pursuit.
An hour later, topping ridge Of
rising ground, Alan caught from the
hollow on its farther side the music of
clashi--g waters. Tortured by thirst,
he began at once to descend in reck-
less haste.
