heat even through his hunting boots,
he suffered that torture until tongue
of flame licked up, wrapped itself
round the thick hempen cord and ate
IL through.
Immediately Alan kicked his feet
free. lifted to a kneeling position, and
crawled from the pyre.
AS for his hands-Alan's hunting
knife was still in its sheath belted
to the small OF his back. Tearing at
the belt with his hampered fingers, he
contrived to shift IL round until the
sheath knife stuck at the belt-loop
over his left hip. Withdrawing and
conveying the blade to his mouth. he
gripped 1t firmly between his teeth,
and sawed the cords round his wrists
against the razor-sharp blade.
Before Alan could turn and run he
saw a vanguard of flames bridge SO
pine blazing like a torch.
And then he was pelting like a mad
man across the smoked-fllled clearing,
and In less than two minutes broke
from the forest to the pebbly shore OF
a wide-bosomed lake, and within a
few hundred feet OF a substantial
dam. through whose spillway a heavy
volume of water cascaded with a roar
rivaling that OF the forest-fire itself.
Two quick glances showed Alan two
things: that his only way OF escape
was via the dam: that there was a
solitary canoe at midlake. bearing
swiftly To the farther shore Judith

In the act of turning toward the
dam he saw Jacob drop the paddle.
The next instant a bullet from a Win
chester 80 kicked up squirt OF peb-
bles only few feet in advance of
Alan.
He quickened his pace, but the next
bullet fell closer, while the third ac-
tually bit the earth beneath his run
ming feet as he gained the dam.
Exasperated, he pulled up, whipped
out his pistol and fired without aim.
At the same time, he noted that the
distance between dam and canoe had

Outside the fort there was camped a
gang of about fifty insurrectos. Many
were wounded; all seemed to be in

Philadelphians are planning TO make

lican national committee meets in

preliminary arrangements for the next

that nothing would happen. Warren

ledge-a mountain pass. The officer

Helen was very quiet as Fred drove
them down to the station. She was
thankful that Warren's father and
mother had planned to stay over night
with Carrie-somehow she did not
feel equal to standing Warren's moth

After they had said good-by and
Fred had left the station. Warren
essayed few general remarks. Helen
replied in q desultory manner. Final
ly he turned to her abruptly.
There's no ned of your acting this

she would talk about the affair out

Any other time Helen would have

since she could remember had he
ever said anything about Carrie even
when she had been most insulting.
But tonight Helen knew that War

The train came in at that moment
