CHAPTER lx-continued.


Jumping lightly from rock to rock
In the shallow water Of the pool, the
bandit approached the cataract, the
third leap landing him upon the fat
top Of a rock almost within the very
wash Of the falling water. Pausing
an instant to pull his hat tight and
turn up the collar of his coat, he
sprang straight into the thin blade
OF the falls. His leap must have car
ried him completely through to the
other side. It was the first the PEARL
hunter knew, or even suspected, that
there was an open space beyond. So
completely did the falling water hide
everything back Of 1t that probably
tile man who had just leaped and
the man who watched him were the
only two who knew there was any
thing back Of it.
The. Pearlhunter stretched himself
fiat under cover Of clump Of sprouts
growing about an old white oak
stump, and kept his eyes fixed on the
waterfall.

watches and waits. 1t was probably
not more than ten minutes. though it
seemed Tar longer, when, without SO
much as diverted fieck Of spray in
warning, 1.-THE waterfall flung forth up
on thu hat-topped rock 1.-THE and ac
tive figure that sprang lightly to shore
over the two intervening stones.
Passing on the brink Of the pool
barely long enough to shake his coat
by the lapels and to knock his hat
against his hand, he Immediately set
out along the bluffs toward the vii
iage, as unconcerned as If he had not
Just pulled of about the most sensa-
tional STINT ever seen by Flatwoods-
The Pearlhunter slipped out Of the
cover and softly followed; trailed him
mp thesblpfrs, through the corner OF the
woods 4nt ont to the river road where
It angles north through the cut in the
cliffs; 8hstened at the fence, near
where the path crossed It, till the re-
ceding bteps were well on their way
to the village.
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1921-01-15

found Its way through the wall. It
was to this that the horse was tied.
For q moment he was strongly
tempted to stay where he was till his
prey returned the following night and
then rid the Flatwoods of him, and
trust what evidence he already had to
prove his case.
But a better plan had been forming
ever since he came into the cave. and
there was much yet to be done; though
the cave would have made a good hid
ing place during the coming day-al-
ways provided the bandidt did not
chance to return before his time.
Selecting spot that he judged to be
about right for the take-off, he leaped
at the falls, and, half to his surprise,
landed on the fiat rock outside. It
was like breaking through the crust
Of creation into a new world. Mar
Yelling at the small amount Of water
that had chung to him, he sprang over
the two intervening rocks to the shore.
He hurried around to the front of
the cabin, raised the latch, entered
and closed the door. Snatching up
some cold biscuits and strips of fried
bacon, he hurriedly made six sand
wiches and stuffed them into his pock-
cts. Resting at the spring long enough
to eat two of his sandwiches, he
