eleventh iNSTALLMENT

Out, out over the yawn1ng gulch
she swung until, feeling earth beneath
her feet again, she released her hold
upon the grapevine and dropped upon
the opposite bank. But. though stag
gering from fatigue, she dared not
rest, for she well knew the relentless
ness and resource of her purSuers.
Her clothes torn to ribbons by rocks
and brierS, her face and hands scratch
ed and bleeding, her breath coming
in choking sobS, She yet stumbled on
and on until she dropped at last from
sheer exhaustion. She had reached
the very limit of her strength; she
could go no farther. For an hour.
two hours. perhaps, she crouched amid
the bushes, wincing at every sound,
for she could not bring herself to be-
1ieve that bIahln and Satsuma would
abandon the pursuit. Tortured by the
thought of Hope and Hook lying
wounded, perhaps dying, in the forest,
and gOaded by the knowledge that if
the man she loved was to be saved
she must reach the nearest settlement
and send them help, she twice strug
glcd to her feet, but she had sprained
her ankle in her mad flight and each
time she sank back, helpless and
grooming Nor could she hope TO find
her way down the mOuntainside, for
she had completely lost her bearings
and darkness was already falling.
Overcome by loneliness and misery
and fear, she threw herself face down
ward on the ground and her slender
figure shook with sobS, for, be it re-

But all at once she ceased her sObs
and sat erect, tense with terror, for
her quick ears had caught the murmur
Of approaching voices. Mahlin and
Satsuma must have found a way
around the gulch and have again
picked up her trail. At the thought
she fell into an uncomfortable fit of
trembling. StOut-hearted though she
was, the knowledge of what it meant
for her to fall into the ha Ids of the
Japanese and his equally ruthless en-
ployer. sent her into an agony of fear.
Far, far rather would she have sub

fly no farther. Her ankle was swollen
and was causing her excruciating
pain. She knew that her sole chance
of escape was to remain hidden in
the bushes that they might pass her
by. The voices were nearer now.
So violent was the pounding of her
heart that it seemed as though it must
betray her. Now she could distinguish
the tones. About them there was
something familiar. Then she knew.
1t was not Mahlin and Satsuma who
were approaching. but Hope and Hook.

near enough so that there was no
chance of her being mistaken. Then ::

~ as though there depended upon his
return nothing more important than a
social engagement, but terror was
gnawing at her heart, for she could
feel herself slowly sinking.
The time dragged by. The seconds
passed like minutes, and the minutes
seemed like hours. Though tormented
by myriads OF insects, they dared not
stir for fear OF Fastening the end.
Already the black ooze was above
their hips and was slowly, inexOrably
creeping higher.
Dear heart" said Cleo, after long
pause. 'ff-if Hook should not get
back in time, want to go down hold

Hope; ''this is all my fault. 1 seem

Her quick eye had detected the sea-
man as he emerged from the forest,
and he had, as she said, the grapevine {:
A monster creeper, as thick as cable
and almost as strong. Venturing as
far into the marsh as he could with
safety, Hook coiled the giant vine and
threw it as a cowboy throws a lariat.

more successful and it fell within

need tonight. A drink OF this and

After they had consumed their scanty

Hope insisted on examining CleO's

and, in order to reduce the swelling,
Hope ordered Cleo to put her foot
for a time in the icy water. After
bathing the ankle with whisky in lieu
of alcohol, he skilIfulIy bandaged it
with strip torn from the bottom of
her skirt, and. lifting her In his arms,
carried her back to the niche in the
rock, where Hook was already asleep
and snoring. Then, after gathering
a fresh supply OF f1rewoOd, he crnwIed
into the niche, which, as he had pre-
dicted, was comfortably warm, and
stretched his aching body on the
boughs besides Cleo. Twice during
the night he softly stole out and re-
plenished the fire. Creeping silently
back in order not to awaken his COM
paniOns, he bent for a moment over
the sleeping girl. Never had he seen
such a picture OF loneliness and in
nOcence. Her figure, he noted, was
so slender as to be almost boyish !;
her glorious hair had tumbled down
and formed about her head a golden
aureOle; her blouse was unfastened at
the neck and the Pickering freight

progress was slow, however, for Cleo's

assistance OF her companions. Gradu-
