about him.
"You are right, sir. We stand a
far better chance Of losing ourselves
than of finding him in fog like this.
But one thing is equally certain
he can't get far, either"
1t was while he spoke that | heard
1.-THE clink of boot striking a

able. "a needle in a haystack is
easy compared to convict in a fog"

like dog at a door.

The convict rose from the heather,
where he had lain, and stumbled to-

running off his forehead and down
his cheeks in narrow streaks.

you shall have it ALL" But | won't

"Come, pull yourself together" said
Hearne, with hand on his shoulder.

The horse was of the old moor '

at good ten miles an hour if the |
fog had allowed it; but as it was we {
rarely exceeded half that speed. 1t

for the delay, now peering back along |
the road, while he implored us to /
tell him if it were galloping hoofs that

either politeness or sympathy upon
him. 1t was not until we had passed q
