as a cat Bridget seized rolling pin

arm, went waddling toward the cellar
door.

or devils" she cried as she went heav-
lily down the steps. Lamp held high
the girl followed her close.
AS the light from the lamp falling
over them revealed the faces of the
struggling men each to the othel, by
common consent they ceased their bat
Ting, and as Davis in amaZement
dropped his arms his heart leaped as
he found Ethel clinging to him, soh-
bing pressing her cheek against his
shoulder. Gently he drew her to him.
Where have you been?" she asked
quickly returning his embrace and
freeing herself as faint tide of color
arose to her cheeks. Grimly John
pointed to the box.

The Hawk fell back a step before
the threatening front of the other.
Don't be too hasty, Davis. Bellas
and | were in the barn watching and
we saw q man in a fur coat and with
his face masked sneak around the cor
ner of the house. We followed, but
when we had arrived there he was
out of sight Seeing the cellar door
open and thinking he had come down
here, we came down also and had hard

Miss Ethel and Bridget heard the rack

thought, John turned to the door.
"This thing has got to stop. We
must catch that NAH or none OF our
lives will be safe. What the meaning
of all of it is l don't tnow, but l am
going to catch the villain and find

the ridge and meet at the top"
Davis, the last to depart, had made
but a few steps when Ethel came hur-
rying up to him. In one hand was the
letter which had been attached to the
arrow, in the other the Bible, and
opening the book she read to him the
words from Jeremiah and Micah. Her
hand fell on his arm.

for you" Rainface, joining them, al
so showed his disapproval John
laughed.

With a parting wave of his hand he
went up the trail, his rife ready and
his eyes searching every suspicious
looking object. Cautiously he adj
vanced, every step bringing him near

lay between the two trees.
Slight as was the impact of his foot
against the trigger it startled John
andN he shot glance upward. The
mighty tree already was falling de-
scending upon him with a force that
would crush him to pulp. He tried
TO spring back, but his feet caught
! in the rope and tripped him, and be-
fore he could recover himself he was
driven TO the earth and lay half
stunned, half crushed on his back, the
trunk across his chest.

small depression in the ground where
he fell, and which prevented the full
