With a gesture of horror, Alan Law

While the sounds of his flight were

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 a ridge Of
Using ground, Alan caught from the
hollow on its farther side the music of
clashing waters. Tortured by thirst,
ne began at once to descend In reck-
less haste.
The shelving moss-beds afforded
treacherous footing; Alan was glad
now and then of the support of a &C.
dar, but these grew ever smaller, and
more widely spaced and were not al
ways convenient to his hand. He
came abruptly and at headlong pace
within sight of the caves of q cliff
and precisely then the hillside seemed
TO slip from under him.
His heels fiourished In the air, his
back thumped bed of pebbles thinly
overgrown with moss. The stones

cedar which stayed him imperceptibly,

crop of more than thirty feet.
He was instantaneously aware of

Then dark waters closed over him.
He came up struggling and gasping,
and struck cut for something dark
that rode the waters near at hand
something vaguely resembling a
canoe.
But his strength was largely spent,

The canoe sped on, vanished swiftly

After a long time, Alan voiced his
unmitigated amazement:

"Her guide told mine you had saved

The Incredible Thing.


Broad daylight, the top OF morn
ing as rare as ever broke upon the
north country: Alan Law opening be-

of dream come true.
True 1t proved itself, at least, in
part He lay between blankets upon
couch of balsam fans, in a corner of
somebody's camp-a log structure,
weather-proof, rudely but adequately
furnished. His clothing, rough-dried
but neatly mended, lay upon a chair
at his side.
He rose and dressed in haste, at
once exulting in his sense of complete
rest and renewed well-being, a prey
to hints of an extraordinary appetite.
and provoked by signs that seemed to
bear out the weirdest flights of his de-
lirious fancfes.
There were apparently indisputable
evidences of woman's recent pres
ence in the camp: blankets neatly
folded upon a second bed of aromatic
balsam in the farther corner; an effect
of orderliness not common with
guides; pair Of dainty buckskin
gauntlets depending from a nail in the
wall; and-he stood staring witlessly
at 1t for more than minute-in an
old preserve jar on the table, single
rose, warm and red. dew upon its
petals!
There was also fire in the cook

things to cook; but despite his hunger
Alan didn't stop for that, but rushed
to the door and threw it open and him
self out into the sunshine, only to
pause, dashed, chagrined, mystified
There was no other living thing in
sight but loon that sported far up
the river and saluted him with a
shrek of mocking laughter.
The place was cleft In the hills,
a table of level land some few acres
in area, bounded on one hand, be-
meath the cliff from which he had
dropped, by rushing river fat with
recent rains; on the other by a second
cliff of equal height Upstream the
water curved round the shoulder of a
towering hill, downstream the cliffs
closed upon it until it roared through
a narrow gorge.
Near the camp, upon a strip OF
shelving beach that bordered the river
where 1t widened into a 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
ly to himself. that day; when he had
cooked and made way with an enor-
nous breakfast. Alan found nothing
better to do till time for luncheon

The Hunted Man.
That day was hot and MINDLESS with
nm unclouded sky-a day of brass and
burning.
Long before any sound audible to
human ears disturbed the MONDAY
Aush. a bobcat summing on a log in a
glade to which no trail led, pricked
ears, rose, glanced over shoulder with
a snarl and--of sudden was no more
there.
Perhaps two minutes later success
sion OF remote crashings began to be
heard, 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 and shud-
dering uncontrollably in all his limbs.

fact that he had been half-drowned.
He experienced little fever, little
delirium, then blank slumbers Of ex-
haustion.
He awoke in dark of night, wholly
unaware that thirty-six hours had
passed since his fall. This last, how
ever, and events that had gone before,
he recalled with tolerable clearness-
allowing for the sluggishness of a
drowsy mind Other memories, more
vague, of gentle ministertng hands, of

Still, he would have been grateful
for some explanation of certain phe-

as faint, elusive scent of roses with

With some difficulty, from dry
throat, he spoke, or rather whis
pered: "Water!"
In response he heard someone move
over a creaking floor. A sulphur
match spluttered UNANIMOUSLY. A can
die caught fire, silhouetting illusion
of coursel-the figure of a. woman In
hunting shirt and skirt. Water
splashed noisily. Alan became aware
of someone who stood at his side, one
hand offering glass to his lips. the
other gently raising his head that he
might drink with ease.
Draining the glass. he breathed his
thanks and sank back, retaining his
grasp on the wrist of that unrea
hand. It suffered him without re
sistance. The hallucination ever
went so far as to say, In a woman'l
soft accents:
You are better. Alan?"
He sighed incredulously: "Rose!"
The voice responded "Yes!" Ther
the perfume of roses grew still NOR,
strong, seeming to fan his cheek lkt
a woman's warm breath. And a mir
acle came to pass; for Mr.. Law, VIII,
realized poignantly that all this wal

Then again he slept.
