 There was no other weapon in his belt, and it never occurred to me that he might possess another secreted in his jacket; nor did 1 realize the des perate hatred of me which gave him reckless courage. What to do with the fellow obsessed my mind; pcs. sessed nothing to securely bind him with; I could not leave him free. nor had I any desire to take hir, aIenp with me. He settled the problem him. self. Suddenly. his arms above his head, his eyes on mine, he kicked yiciously, the heavy shoe striking my wrist, sending the revolver I held spinning into the grass a dozen feet away. With almost the same move ment he was tugging at his jacket pocket l saw the gleam of steel. and grlpped his fingers just in time; my other hand, numbed by the blow dealt me. was, for the instant, useless, yet I struck him with my elbow full in the face. had no grip that would hold, yet it tangled the revolver in the folds of cloth so he could not draw. and, with snarl of bafTled rage, he tore ms fingers loose. and elutched at my throat with both hands. Back and forth We swayed on the very edge ot the rayine, kept from plunging down into the black depths by the interven. Ing fringe Of trees, savagely contend Ing fer the mastery. That he was a trained athlete, acquainted with every | wrestier's trick, I knew in a moment, I yet this gave me little fear--for thNz was to be fight, no wrestling game

 He had jerked it cut before I reached him. but my hand closed over his-the hammer fell, digging into the flesh of my thumb, and the pain mad dened me; he stal ggered back from the impetus of my body. and l tore loose, the iron still imbedded In my flesh, and struck him. The pearl handle crashed to the side of his head tearing my hand in jagged wound. but he went over, drop plng to the grass as if dead. He gave no moan. no sound; for an instant his ilnbs twitched. and then he lay there, curled into ball l stared down at hi m. panting, scarce ly realizing just what had occurred An instant before he had been fighting like tiger cat now he was a motion less, grotesque shadow. Blood streamed from my acerated hand, and l bound up the wou Id in neckerchief stripped from arouf q my throat, hard ly conscious of the pain, my breath steadying, my muscles growing tense Then I bent down. and strengthened the man out, uptur min his face to the moon. He was not de ad-there was beat to his pulse; but the gash on his head was an ugly one; he would have scar there while he lived. He lay like dead man, his filce ghastly, his thin lips drawn back from his teeth. and seemingly hreathleiss But for that faint, barely perceptibha throb of the pulse, would have theu ght him killed.

There were two things possible to do-to roll the body into the ravine, or bear it with me. The first would be murder; the second a tax upon my physical strength which l might not withstand. Yet there was no other way. but to try the experiment
 l tossed the discarded revolver into the bushes. and struggled with the limp body until I was able to rise to my feet with the unconscious man dangling across my shoulder. He was of good girth and weight, but suc- ceeded in staggering the few yards necessary with the burden, and then hoisted him across the saddle, head and heels dangling. The horse snort ed and circled to get away, frightened at his unusual burden, but l soothed the animal. and finally he sniffed at the mans legs. and stood still.

CHAPTER xxVlil.
With Nsturc,s Weapons.

To the right of where lay was the outline of the church. the windows alight several blazing torches, bobbing about within, revealing passing fig ures. although the distance was too great to permit any sound of voices reaching my ears. The rear door, however, stood wide open, and a con siderable body of men were grouped there. Straight across from me, a squad of horsemen were moving north ward, and a single rider was spurring rapidly between them and the church. The grove of trees where l was to meet Nichols and Noreen was to the left. It was dark and silent shape less shadow, and the forest growth of the ravine extended far enough over the crest to hide my approach. Satisfied that no searching parties were near by, advanced swiftly along the edge of this fringe of trees, yet tasking every preeaution. Twas well l did, for suddenly the horseman swerved, and rode straight toward me.
 
 into the brush. revolver in hand, and waited, Once he stopped, and called out something; then came on along the edge of the wood, walking his horse slowly. The rider was not sol dier, but beyond that fact evidenced by lack of uniform, 1 could make no guess as to his identity, although l believed him one of Cowasl s guerrillas. A gun, poised and ready, forked out beside his horses neck, and he leaned forward in the saddle, peering into the shadows. A few feet beyond me, he suddenly refined in his horse, and called again:
 That you, lieutenant?"
 A single figure seemed to emerge from among the trees-a mere shadow. formless and silent.
 Yes; who are you?"
 "Kelly-Dean told me you were here; the damn fellow has got away, and the gurl with him."
 How do you know?"
 We've looked over every dead body. the wounded and prisoners, and searched every inch of the church. they're not thar, sir"
 By God! Where could they have gone! They were there; he was any how, for I heard his voice. Did you talk with any of those living?"

 Raymond muttered something, a smothered oath no doubt, and then burst forth:
 Well, good God, man. They are both flesh and blood If neither are there then they must have found a way of escape. We had every side of the church guarded so mouse couldn't get through in this moonlight Il saw to that myself"
 There were no guards on the east.

They drove us in so as to encircle us, yet the tumble of benches served as some protection to our rear. Per haps the fact that there were Yankees between us and the pulpit prevented firing for we met hand to hand in death grapple. I have seen battles, yet nothing like that; it was as though beasts of the jungle fought; men strug- gied with naked hands, struck death blows, fired into each others faces, trampled oyer writhing bodies, CUTS ing, or yelling defiance as they fell. We scarcely knew friend from foe, blue from gray. l cannot even tell what occurred to myself in those breathless moments 1 know l fought madly, blindly-again and again sweeping space clear with my weapon; hands gripped my throat my hair, and I tore loose; fingers elutehed at my legs, but I kicked free. was conscious of blows, of wounds; knew when Harwood fell, and was trampled under foot; 1 heard others scream; I saw the hated face of Anse Cowan in the ruck and leaped for him, but whom my mad blow struck could not tell Some rush. some quick pressure of bodies, hurled me side wise, caught me in wise; l tripped over dead man, staggered to my feet again. I got footing on the pulpit platform. and held 1t for an instant, my gun-barrel crashing into the mass of faces below.

American Movies
Popular in London

Correspondence OF the Associated Press }
LONDON. July a.--American film
plays. depicting American life in purely
American settings. have largely a mo
nopoly on British moving picture thea
ters. A writer In one of the London
dailles complains that out OF nine films
In each show. seven are likely to be
American. He concludes that while a
number of excellent films have been put
out by British companies. based on we'll
known novels. the public prefers tho
American, and the proprietors find them
cheaper.
One reason for the success OF American
films, It was pointed out, 10 economic.
While American films enter Great Britain
duty free. British films are taxed heav-
fly. not only In the United States, but
In Canada and Australia Having the
monopoly OF an enormous home area by
reason Of tho protective traffic, the
Americans arc able to export oheapiy
and underseli the British on their own
soil. British producers, moreover, pay
heavy local taxes.
British firms can not afford 70 sell
films at less than cents a foot, with
reasonable profit In view. The Amer
leans charge cents and could drop
another cent without discomfort They
could almost go down to the cost price
of sh cents foot for the printed posi-
tives. since their local American sales
alone pay large profits on the production
OF the original negative. The most the
British competitor can get In the states
Is cents foot. and out Of this ne
must pay duties, which amount to
cents on negatives and cent on posi-
tivos.
Great Britain imports 100000 feet OF
American film annually. From one
