Then leaping TO her feet and strap

Lithely. like a young panther. she
slipped out of the cell and began max

light which she judged TO be its open
ing. She had scarcely gone ten feet,
however, before she stopped short
somewhere in the dark she heard a
voice.
What was to be done? Her temples
throbbed as the voices sounded nearer.
Then it came home to her-why not try
one of the other cells? Suiting action
to the thought, she stepped quietly
from the niche in the wall, moved
noiselessly along its surface, and came
at length to another dungeon similar
TO the one she had occupied. except
that it had no window in its Oaken
door. Fumbling with the bunch of
keys. she took the first one around
which her fingers fell and thrust it
hurriedly into the lock. She strug-
gled with it-turning ii first to the
left and then to the right. The foot
steps were sounding nearer and near

door silently. although her ears caught
the click OF the bolt when It was shot
home.
No sound of retreating footsteps
reached her through the thick wall.
The stiffness of her prison seemed
to strike her like blow. For mo-
ment she stood staring at the bare
wall. her lips parted, her limbs trem-
bling from the reaction Of excitement;
then she stepped forward and felt
along the smooth surface of rock.

Baffied, her glance wandered about

self on the bench. covering her eyes
to shut out those hideous surroundings.
What should she do? What could she
do? What possibility of hope lay in
her own endeavors? From what
source could she expect any outside
help?

Hawk and Weasel Fioht.

While going through the woods on
an English estate fhe other day. a
gamekeeper had his attention drawn
by loud screeching proceeding from a
clearing. On proceeding TO the spot
to investigate he noticed a big gray
backed crow fly up from the ground,
where bundles of fur and feathers ap-
peared TO be locked in combat. on
going close ne perceived that a hawk
was endeavoring TO retain possession
of two mice, which ii had fixed with
its talons. while a weasel was wor-
rying the hawk, which. however. re-
tanned its quarry. The fight ceased
when the contestants became aware OF
the keepers presence. Evidently the
crow and weasel were determined that
the hawk should not become a food
