We succeeded in locating the animals
by feeling and waited on the edge of
the bank, the two reins wrapped about
my arm, until I heard the others go
splashing down into the water. Then l
also CROPPED my own way cautiously
forward, the two horses trailing be-
hind me, down the sharply shelving
bank into the stream. Tim chose his
course near to theAopposite shore, and
II followed his lead closely, guided
largely by the splashing of Elsie's ami
NAL through the shallow water. Our
movement was very slow and eau
tious one, Kennedy hating frequently
to assure himself that the passage
ahead was safe. Fortunately the bot
tom was firm and the current not par
ticularly strong, our greatest obstacle
being the low-hanging branches which
swept against US.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Island in the Swamp.


The relief of thus being able to per-
ceive each other and gain some view
of our immediate surroundings after
that struggle through darkness cannot
be expressed in words. We were upon
a rather narrow tongue of land, the
two diverging forks of the stream
closing us in. So, after a short CONVEX
satiOn, we continued to ride straight
forward, keeping rather close to the
edge of the wood, so as to better con-
ceal our passage. Our advance, while
not rapid, was steady, and we must
have covered several miles before the
east began to show gray, the CHASTITY
light of the new dawn revealing our
tired faces. Ahead of US stretched an
extensive swamp, with pools of stag
nant water shimmering through lush
grass and brown fringes of cat-tails
bordering their edges Some distance
out in this desolatiOn, and only half
revealed through the dim light, some
what higher bit of lam l, rocky on it's
exposed side, its crest crowned with
trees, arose like an islaI 4. Tim stared
across at it, shading his eyes with one
hand.

cap" he said finally, 81 reckon thar
amt no better place then tibet, pervidin'
we kin git thar"
I followed his gaze, and noticed that
the mulatto girl also lifted her head
to look.
"We certainly must rest" I con-
fessed. Miss Beaucaire seems to be
sleeping, but am sure is thoroughly
exhausted. Do you see any way of
getting across the swamp"
He did not answer, but Elsie in
stantly pointed toward the left, crying
out eagerly:
"Sure, All do. The lam is higher
long thar, sah--yer kin see shale
rock"
$50 you can; it almost looks like
dyke. Let's try it, Tim"
1t was not exactly a pleasant pas
sage, or a safe one. but the continual
increase in light aided US in picking
our way above the black water on eth
er hand. 1 let my horse follow those
in front as he pleased and held tightly
to the bit of the one bearing Eloise.
The island proved small one, not eX-
ceeding a hundred yards wide, rather
sparsely covered with forest trees, the
space between these thick with under
growth. What first attracted my gaze
after penetrating the tree fringe was
the glimpse ora small shack, built of
poles, and matched with coarse grass,
which stood nearly in the center of the
island. 1t was rudely constructed,
primitive affair, and to all appearances
deserted.
"Hold the horses here, Tim; let me
see what we have ahead first"
approached the place from the rear,
peering In through the narrow open
ings between the upright poles. The
light was so poor was not able TO
perceive much, but did succeed in
fully convincing myself that the dis
NAL shack was unoccupied. The door
stood Unmatched and I pushed it open.
