The men had sprung at his alarm.
They could all see her and with one
accord dashed for the door. Elaine
sprang back and they ran as they saw
that she was warned. In genuine fear
she too ran from the window. But It
was too late.
For just then the sentry who had
taken Del Mars horse came from be-
hind the building, cutting OF her re-

he added. Get on guard again and

Elaine was hustled into the big de-

the tramp had been.

signed to the other men, who went on,
leaving one short but athletic-looking
fellow with Del Mar and Elaine.

Mar, "and bring the other prisoner to

None too gently the man fosced
Elaine upstairs ahead of him.
In the attic the tramp pacing up
and down, heard footsteps approach
on the stairs and enter the next room.
Quickly he ran to the doorway and
peered through the keyhole. There he
could see Elaine and the small man
enter. He locked the door to the hall,
then quickly took step toward the
door into the tramp's room.
There was just time enough for the
tramp to see his approach. He ran
swiftly and softly over to the farther
corner and dropped down, as though
sound asleep. The key turned in the

taking the fences and settling down
to Q good half hours run over the

seen.
The huntsman winded his horn and
mirthful shouts of "Gone awayi"
sounded in imitation Of Q real hunt.
Elaine was one Of the foremost. Her
hunter was one carefully trained, and
she knew all the tricks Of the game.
Somehow I got separated, at first,
from the rest and followed, until
finally caught up, and then kept be-
hind one Of the best riders.
Del Mar also got separated. but, as
! afterward learned. by intention, for
he deliberately rode out OF the course
at the first opportunity he had and let
Elaine and the rest Of US pass without
seeing him.
Elaine's blood was up, but some
how. In spite Of herself. she went
astray, for the hounds had distanced

went q mile or SO out OF the way.
She pulled up in a ravine and looked
about. Intently she listened. There
was no sign Of the hunt. She was
hot and tired and thirsty and, at a
loss just how to Join the field again,
she took this chance to dismount and
drink from clear stream fed by
mountain springs.
As she did SO, floating over the
peaceful woodland air came the faint
strains Of the huntsman's horn, far,
far OF. She locked about, straining
her eyes and ears to catch the direc.
ton OF sound. Just then her horse
caught the winding Of the horn. His
ears went erect, and without waiting
he instantly galloped of, leaving her.
Elaine called and ran after him. but
1t was too late. She stopped and
looked dejectedly after him as he dis.
appeared. Then she made her way up
the side Of the ravine. slowly.
On she climbed until, to her sur.

She advanced toward a window Of

Del Mar waited only until the last
