A hideous screeching followed, the

of answer: he could do no more.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Bowels of the Earth.

Awaking befell Mr. Barcus in a
fashion sufficiently sharp and startling
to render him Indifferent to the benefi-
cial effects of some eight hours of
dreamless slumber.
He discovered himself lying fiat on
his face, with somebody's inconsider-
ate, heavy hand purposely grinding the
said face into the aged and splintery
planks Of the shed flooring. At the
same time other hands were busy
binding his own together by the
wrists and flashing the same to the
small of his back by means of a cord
passed around his middle, while his
natural If somewhat spasmodic efforts
to kick were sadly hampered by the
fact that his ankles had already been
secured by means of half a dozen half
bitches and square knot.
His hands attended to, his head was
released Promptly he lifted it and
essayed to yell; an effort rendered
abortive by the gag that was thrust
between his teeth the instant his
jaws opened.
Then he heard a laugh, a cold,
mirthless chuckle.
Now the blood of Thomas Barcus
ran cold Tor he thought 1t did; which
amounts to much the same thing
For If his senses had played fair, the
laugh he had heard was the laugh Of
Mr.. Marrophat, head-devil in the serv-
ice of Seneca Urine.
He twisted his head to one side
and glancing along the floor, saw moth
ing but the wall. Twisted the other
way, at the cost of splinter in his
nose, the effort was repaid by the dis
covery of Rose Urine in plight like
his own-wrists and ankles bound,
gagged into the bargain-the width of
the shed between them.
But of Alan Law, no sign.
The heart of Mr.. Barcus checked
momentarily; he shut his eyes and
shivered in an uncomfortable seizure
of dread.
Then, tormented beyond endurance
by the fears he suffered for the safety
of his friend, he began to wriggle and
squirm like a crippled snake, pain
fully inching his way across the floor
toward Rose-with what design, heav-
en- alone knows! Dimly his men,

sibility of his being able. with his fast

rowly though furtively, Mr.. Barcus
saw her handsome face darken omin-
ously.
And her father was as quick to
recognize these portents of trouble
and to seek to advantage himself Of
them.
His head Craned out horribly on his
long, wasted neck as he pitched a
sibilant whisper for her ears, and his
face in the moonlight seemed to glow
with the reflection of that inferno
which smoldered in his evil
But one was silenced, the other
quenched all in twinkling. His
daughter turned on him in flash of
imperial rage.
Barcus caught snatches of the wom-

Her voice broke. She clenched her
hands into two tight fists with the
effort at self-control, and lifted a
writhen face to the moonlight.

Broad daylight surprised them in
this state. still stubbOrnly travelling;
and shortly afterward showed them
one place so perilous that it shocked
them temporarily awake
This was simply a spot where the
trail came abruptly to an end on one
side of a cleft in the hills quite thirty
feet wide and several hundred in
depth, and was continued on the far
Their side the chasm being spanned by
a bridge of the simplest character
no more than a footway of boards
bound together with ropes none too
substantial in seeming, with another
rope, breast-high, to serve as a hand
rail
Alan tested the bridge cautiously.
1t bore him. He returned, helped Rose
to cross, and with her once safely
landed on the other side, took his life
in his hands and, aided by Barcus
unaffectedly afflicted with qualms,
somehow or other (neither of them
knew precisely how persuaded the
burrOs to cross.
After that, though the way grew
more broad and easy and even showed
symptoms Of a decline, they had not
enough strength left to sustain
through another hour
And what they thought good for
tune, opportunely at this pass, brought
them to a clearing dotted with the
buildings Of an abandoned copper
mine. Not a soul was in evidence
there, but the rude structures offered
shelter for beast as well as man.
Barely had they made Rose as com
Portable as might be upon the rough
plank flooring of one of the sheds
and tethered the burros out of sight,

numbing fingers, to work loose the
knots at Roses wrists; but deep in
his heart ne knew this to be nothing
but forlornest hope.
With infinite pains he had CON
trived to bridge the distance by half,
or possibly not quite so much, when
a dark body put the sunlight of the
open doorway into temporary eclipse.
Another followed it. Boots dumped
heavily on the flooring. The laugh
sounded again, apparently in ironic ap-
probation of Mr. Barcus' efforts. Two
pairs OF hands seized him, one be-
meath the shoulders, the other be-
meath the knees, and he was lugged
laboriously out into the sunlight, car
ried a considerable distance, and de-
posted unceremoniously within a few
feet OF the mouth of the abandoned
mine just at the moment when he had
satisfied himself that the purpose
of his Captors was simply to throw
him into the black well.
He wasted a look of appeal on the
frozen mask of villainy that was Mar
rophat's (who bore the burden of Bar
Gus head and shoulders) and got
laughed at for all his pains.
Then he was left to himself once
more. but only for few moments;
the interval ended when the two ap-
peared again, this time bringing Rose
in similar fashion.
Not until she had been put down be-
side him did he discover that Alan
was likewise a captive-trussed to
tree at some distance.
The remaining arrangements of
their captors were swiftly and deity
consummated, though their design re-
manned obscure to Mr.. Barcus until
he, after Rose, was dumped like bale
into a huge bucket, and therein by
means of rope and windlass lowered

than to die thus llngeringly.
On this consideration, he drew Rose
with him back to the bulkhead.
When they had been some fifteen
minutes beside the bulkhead, the wa
ter mounted the head of a slight rise
perhaps ten feet behind them, and
poured down in ever deeper volume
to back up against the barrier.
1t was waist deep, however, before
they retreated to the head of that
rise
In fifteen minutes more it had
reached their chins. And they stood
with head against the roof of the tun-
mel
Holding Rose close to him, Alan
kissed her lips, that were as cold as
death
Then, fumbling under water he
found the hand of the man at his side.

Screaming to make himself heard
above the roar of the deluge, Barcus
hammered in Alan's ear:
That devil! He's found the reser-
voir-opened the cegates-turned
it into that shaft! We're done for!"
Alan had no argument with which to
gainsay him. Silently getting on his
feet, silently he CROPPED for Rose in the
darkness, momentarily becoming more
dense as the fall of water shut out
the light, and drew her away with him,
up the slight incline that led back to
the bulkhead. -,
