CHAPTER XVII.
The Storm Breaks.

The Storm Breaks.
Young Doctor Elliott, lying prone on
his blanket on the hewn logs of the
floor of Conrod's tavern, stirred uneas-
lily In his sleep. Outside, the artillery
of the last thunderstorm of the autumn
rumbled and crashed above the steady
rush of the rain. A hand fell upon the
latch and the door burst open before
the fury of the wind. Elliott woke to
find the rain driving into his face. He
was about to rise to close the door
when the whole room was struck out Of
darkness by the dazzling blue Of sheet
lightning. 1t was gone as instantly
as 1t came and the crash of thunder
which accompanied it drowned his cry.
In that single moment of the binding
flash he had seen, outlined against the
shimmering sky FRAMED in the rec
tangle Of the door, the dreadful figure
of a crouching Indian, knife in hand.
His limbs froze in horror. The room
was now as black as midnight, but his
eyes ached with the impress of the
lightning glare and the image that had
been struck into them. Still In the
pitch darkness he could see that sick
ening face-dark, evil, its bloodshOt
eyes peering malevolently into the
room.
He heard the rain-soaked moccasins
of the savage take two steps inward.
Before he could cry out again, sec
ond flash of lightning illumined the
room, and showed second man, tall,
pale with anger, his foot on the thresh-
old.
With the hoarse snarl of a wild
beast, the Indian leaped at the figure
in the doorway. They grappled. In
the darkness Elliott heard their quick
terrible breathing as they swayed In
struggle for life. A stool tripped
them and they fell, rolling against him
Again the lightning fiared and he saw
the knife. dashed from the Indians
hand, lying beside him. The white
man was beneath, his face hidden by
the straining shoulders of the savage.
Blindly Elliott seized the weapon and
struck with hysteiical force.
The man beneath shook of the re-
laxed arms of the hideous intruder and
rose unsteadily to his feet. Then he
laughed aloud In the darkness.
IL can't see who you are, friend" he
said. ''but you've certainly saved me
from close call"
Elliott made no answer. he was
sobbing weakly, his hand still clutch
ing the blood-stained knife. From the
upper room came the sound of voices
and the tavernkeeper came hurriedly
down the narrow ladder leading from
the loft, followed by the awakened
guests. Someone struck flint; can
dies were lighted.

He passed swiftly from house to house,
inquiring from each if there the young
doctor from Louisville, young Doctor
Elliott, was within; and, though sever
al had seen him that day, none knew
where he might be found. 1t was late
when someone he questioned recalled
that he thought he had seen Elliott
that night at Conrod's tavern outside
the village.
He set out on the road that led to the
east. The storm had reached its

struggle. Clambering up the bank
again. he saw it lying on the ground

handle he thought he heard a sob. He
turned his head quickly.

The name burst from him in the
completeness of his establishment, in
the reyulsion of his despair, In his
mighty Joy, like the cry Of the soul

Toinette was leaning against the log
from behind which Glrty had risen, ex-
hausted by the effort she had made to
free herself from the thongs that
bound her feet and hands. A sob had
come from lips drawn in utter weari-
ness and despair.
He was beside her

She did not answer, but held out
her hand. He paid no heed. With a
sob she turned and ran falteringly to-
ward her fathers house.
David set about the work he had
to do.
He went directly to Blackford's room
at the tavern. Ike was not there. In
corner, beneath the wooden table
where dozen law books lay scattered,
was q narrow box. Ike had often ex-
hibited its contents to him. He lifted
It upon the table and threw open the
lid. Within lay two of those deadly
weapons which none but gentlemen
cherished-two dueling pistols, brown

tried it's hammer; it moved swiftly,
noiselessly. He loaded it, fitted the
flint into the lock, placed it in the
bosom of his coat, and went out, silent
ly, his face white as linen.
Night had fallen. Far to the east
a sheet of flame fickered palely. Long
after, a faint roll of thunder followed.
A drop Of icy rain struck his face

CHAPTER xv-contlnued.


With a bound he reached the bank
of the stream, leaped down beneath
tts friendly shelter, and ran on noise
less moccasins along the shelving
edge, back toward the quarter from
which the shot had come; If he were
chase pass him than to try to out
distance the Indian runners. At last
he stopped and inch by inch crawled
up to tho top of the bank until he
could lift his head with infinite eau
ton and peer through the tufts of
weeds. No sound broke the stiffness.
For an eternity of time he lay, clutch
ing his rifle In readiness; but the only
sound was the queruious calling Of the
little woodpecker, high overhead. He
waited waited waited.
Fifty yards away a twig snapped
under a sIow-moving foot. David
scarcely breathed. A head rose above
a fallen giant Of the forest, and
crouching shadow fitted from tree to
tree, nearer, nearer David
raised his rife ever so little (.
He saw the face of the dread hunter,
peering with quick motions of the
head from side to side, watchful as
the brown water-snake. Nearer he
came; the garb was that of an Indian,
the face a white mans! David was
about TO cry out with relief when the
gIlttering eyes were turned full toward
him, though they failed to pierce the
sheltering covert, and with a sickening
horror David recognized the face Of
Simon Girty, the renegade!
On the instant, David lifted his rifle
and fred fun at the crouching figure.
From Girty's lips broke the roar of
an infuriated animal; he staggered
back with the impact of the shot, but
he did not fall nor yet did he lift his
weapon to his shoulder; and David
saw that his shot had struck only the
lock of Girty's rifle, rendering 1t use
less but leaving the man unharmed.
With a below of rage, Girty bounded
toward him, swinging the broken
weapon like club. There was no time
to reload. David leaped to the top of
the bank and braced himself for the
onset. AS the dubbed rifle of the out
law rose above his head, David swung
his own upward to meet 1t. They
crashed together and splintered with
a shock; and in the same second, fling
ing the broken stock away, the mighty
arms of Simon Girty flung themselves
around David.
With the strength of desperation,
David strove to oppose the terrible
sinews. Back and forth over the
frozen grass the two men fought like
beasts, heaving, struggling, stumbling
over roots, locked in an embrace as
deadly as that of the cougar. But 1t
could not last long; David felt his
strength ebbing under the terrific
strain and his breath grew short and
gasping; when suddenly the earth gave
way beneath their feet and with last
despafring effort David twisted him.
self above as they toppled over the low
blur, and the fight was over. Girty,
falling underneath, had struck his head
upon a stone; and his arms relaxed
their hold.
David stood up, painting.
Girty lay very still. But David
knew that he must make sure that the
man was dead before he could be safe
himself. He felt in his girdle for his
