Voices reached him suddenly, break

He drew his face back from the brink

The Candle in the Granny.

All the way back to Fallen Rock the
Pearlhunter pondered the scene he had
gazed on through the chink in the
cabin wall: the mans transfigured
face; his actions with the picture-that
above all--the picture. 1t puzzled him.
angered him. That such a man should
have her picture; his mother's-with
the darkly beautiful face and wonder
full eyes-warm against his breast. Ii
was another reason why he should
hunt him down.
The Pearlhunter was as brave as
the woods make them but it is no dis
credit TO his manhood to say that
his blood ran little faster as
he stepped down off the rock into the
water aud waded through the falls.
Every inch of the way had TO be felt
out with his fingers before his feet
could be trusted to follow.
The roar of the falls had dulled n
little when suddenly sound came OUT
of the dark just ahead-a sound like
garment rubbing against some rough
surface. The Pearlhunter stepped to
one side of the passage and fiattened
himself against the wall. Out of the
dead silence the sound came again. A
grin loosened his face. The very
sound he had half eXpected-a horse
contentedly munching his hay.
The Pearhunter came out from
against the wall and inched his way
deeper into the blackness of the pass
age. 1t abruptly widened until he was
no longer able to reach from one wall
to the other with his ouislretched
arms. Though denied the use of his
eyes. he knew that the passage broad
~ expanded just there and became a
cave. He stood in the very entrance
of If.
The next step-there was no help
for it--lightl Desperate and danger
ous-the first spark, and the cave
might spring to life. Still. it was bet
ter than TO stumble over sleeping
man; or walk into knife. With his
revolver balanced, his face to the open

arm bringing his body as far as posi-

The first swift glance showed him that
except for the horse--it was empty.
The stub of candle caught his
eye, stuck by its own tallow to an out
standing stool of shale just beyond the
mouth of the passage. He crossed the
| passage and held the match to the
wick. In the better light he studied
the place more closely.
The cave could not have been far
