CHAPTER VIII.
The Incredible Thing.

Broad daylight, the top of a morn
ing as rare as ever broke upon the
north country: Alan Law opening be-
wildered eyes to realize the substance
of a dream come true.
True it proved itself, at least, in
part He lay between blankets upon a
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 fancies.
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; a pair Of dainty buckskin
gauntlets depending from q nail In the
wall; and-he stood staring witlessly
at 1t for more than a 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
stove, with a plentiful display OF
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, mystited.
There was no other living thing IN
sight but a loon that sported far UP
the river and saluted him with
shrek of hooking laughter.
The place was a 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 a rushing river fat with
recent rains; On the other by second
cliff of equal height. Upstream the
water curved round the shoulder OF
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 it 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, IL seemed, to be left severe

cooked and made way with an enor-
nous breakfast, Alan found nothing

He feasted famously again at noon;
whiled away several hours vainly whip
ping the pools with rod and tackle
found in the camp, for trout that he
really didn't hope would rise beneath
that blazing sun; and toward three
o'clock lounged back to his aromatic
couch for a nap.

canoes.
AS soon as it was in the water, Rose

and a bullet kicked up turf within
dozen feet. A glance discovered TWO
apures debouching into the clearing.
He dropped into place and, planting
naddle in shadows, sent the canoe
well out with a vigorous thrust
Two strokes took it to the middle
of the pool where Immediately the
current caught the little craft In It's
urgent grasp and sped it smoothly
through more narrow and higher
banks. A moment more and the
mouth Of the gorge was yawning for
them.
with the clean balance of an ex-
perienced canoeman, Alan rose to his
feet for an instantaneous reconnols-
sance both forward and astern. He
looked back first, and groaned IN ms
heart to see the sharp PROV Of the
second canoe glide out from the
banks. He looked ahead and groaned
aloud. The rapids were wilderness

That day was hot and MINDLESS with

human ears disturbed the MONDAY

a snarl and--of sudden was no more

Just now he wore the look of one
bounded by furies. His face was Grim

had been either consumed In the for

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 a 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 aimlessiy 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 possessed by a 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
thing was peering at him from behind
a 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
1t, 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, ami turned back 20 the
clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested he found-but refused to

and the door opened, and a young
woman entered.
The mouse brown man bowed. Miss

But there was now no escaping that
ordeal. The canoe was already spin
ming between wallis where the water
ran deep and fast with d CLASSY sur
face.
The next instant 1t was in the jaws;
and the man settled down to work
with grim determination, pitting cour-
age and strength and experience
against the rayening waters that tore
at the canoe on every hand, whose
mad clamor beat back and forth be-
tween the walls OF the gorge like vast
bellowings OF internal mirth.
He fought like one possessed.
There was never an instants grace
for judgment or execution; the one
must be synchronous with the other,
both instantaneous, or else-destruc-
tion.
The canoe wove this way and that
like an insane shuttle threading some
satanic loom. Now 1t hesitated, nuz-
cling a gigantic boulder over which
the water woye a pale green and
glistening hood. now in the space of
a heartbeat it shot forward twice its
length through a sea of Dreaming
waves, now plunged wildly toward
what promised instant humiliation
and cheated that only by the timely
plunge of a paddle, guided by luck or
instinct or both
The one ray of hope in Alan's mind,
when he surveyed before committing
himself and, the woman lac loved to
that hideous gauntlet, sprang from
the fact that. however rough. the
rapids were short. Now, when he had
been in their grasp q minute, he
seemed to have been there hours.
His laborings were tremendous. I'M
believable inspired In the end they
were all but successful The goal of
safety was within thirty seconds
more of quick, hard work, when Alan's
paddle broke and the canoe swung
broadside to a boulder, turned turtle
| and precipitated both headlong into
that savage welter.
As the next few minutes passed he
was lighting like a mad thing against
overwhelming odds. Then, OF a sud
den, he found himself rejected. spewed
forth from the cataract and swimming

Her eyes met his. clear with the
sanity of her adorable courage.
He fioundered to her side. painted in
structions to transfer .her hand to his
shoulder, and struck out for the
nearer shore.
Both found footing at the same
time and waded out, to collapse, ex-
hausted. against the bank.
Then, with a sickening qualm. Alan
remembered the pursuit. He rose and
looked up the rapid Just in time to

and fighting the waters with scarcely

Alan's supreme struggles.
Like a living thing the canoe
seemed to gather itself together, to
poise, to leap with all its strength:
it hurdled the eddy in a bound, took
the still water with a mighty splash.
and shot downstream at diminished
speed, the Indian furiously backing
water.
As though that had been the one
moment she had lived for, Judith
lifted her rifle and brought it to bear
