peneu 10 you, Cleo, darling. l was afraid that that hell-hound Mahlin had caught you.'
 And l thought that you had been killed, dearest" she sobbed, her head upon his breast. "I saw Satsuma strike you when you were struggling with Mahlin I saw you fall then they both started after me I knew that the only way to help you was to reach the town and get assistance so l ran they nearly caught me on the edge of gulch. but I swung across it on a grapevine then I sprained my ankle and couldn't go any farther I've been so worried about you, Jarvis are you badly hurt?" and her hand felt timor- ously of the lump that Satsumas wea- pon had raised on the back of his head.
 "Only tap, dear" he answered lightly. q was only unconscious for few minutes. Hook got nasty crack. though. It was twenty minutes before was able to bring him around. As soon as he was able to walk we started in the direction you had taken, but we could find no sign of you, so we set out for town to raise posse and search the mountains for you. It makes me shudder, darling, to think of what you have escaped"
 Don't worry about it any more, hAr to be kissed. I'm safe in your arms again . I'm afraid, Jarvis, that I cant walk any farther tonight :. my ankle pains too much. Hook doesn't look as though he felt like walking very far, either" she added, seated on a log holding his throbbing head in his hands.
 You guessed right. Miss Cleo" groaned Hook. "I couldn't walk an- other step tonight, not for a million dollars. My head feels like a boiler that's being pounded with a sledge- hammer. That murderous Jap certainly gave me one awful wallop if I ever lay hands on him he'll be sorry that he ever was born"
 Ut would be foolish for us to at- tempt to get down the mountain to- night" said Hope decisively. Tt is almost dark and We don't know the path anyway. The best thing we can do is to make ouselves as comfortable as possible for the night and start fresh in the morning"
 Cant we start fire?" begged Cleo, shivering, I'm awful cold"
 Its taking a chance" said Hope, little doubtfully, "because if Mahlin and Satsuma are still looking for US it might attract their attention. But l fancy that they've given up the chase as hopeless by this time and without a fire we would freeze to death before morning. You stay here with Hook, dear, and I'll skirmish around and see if we can find place where we can build fire without its being seen."
 In half an hour he was back.
 I've found a place that might have been made for us," he announced, and AC0 tAO way u OlcldhCC up tuC mountainside to shallow niche in the face of the cliff. Though barely large enough to hold the three of them, it was dry and clean, while the great mass of rock which Overhung it like a pOrte-cochere served the double purpose of shielding it from observa- tion and from the weather. On the level rock in front of the niche Hope started brisk fire and, with Hooks assistance. dragged a prostrate tree trunk into place so as to form back log.
 What is that for?" asked Cleo, curiously.
 ITO turn the heat toward us," he explained; '.it takes the place of the brick wall at the back of g fireplace so that we get the full benefit of the fire. With that back log we'll get so much heat in here that we won't need blankets-and it's just as well, for we haven't any,"
 The fire started, Hope disappeared, only to return a few minutes later staggering under a load of leafy boughs which he laid to depth of half foot on the rocky floor of their sleeping place. Over this woodman's mattress Cleo helped him to spread q thick layer of dry leaves and grass.
 Tt isn't quite up to the standard of Fifth avenue hotels" he remarked, viewing his work with satisfaction, but it's softer and cleaner than lots of beds that I've slept in. There may be some Jumps in it, but we're too tired to notice them. Now, we would be quite comfortable if we only had something to eat"
 i've some chocolate" announced Cleo, producing from. the pocket of her skirt good-sized cake. 'T thought we might be hungry before we got back to town, so put it in my pocket before we left the cabin"
 Bully for you, dear." cried Hope. I've won't have to go to bed hungry, in any event.'
 That's only the first course," she laughed gayly. as she proudly display Qd thrQc orano loavaa hnopod hjCh
