CHAPTER XII.
Only the Hunted Know.

For a long time the Pearlhunter lay
wondering why the gorge didn't fall
in. While he lay and wondered. an
other strange thing happened-the
very strangest of all.
The top of the gorge began to open
opened and let in two little patches
Of sky. He kept his eyes on them
two little spots of blue set between
clouds of pink and gold. The gorge
top opened wider. He came back to
the two patches of sky; smiled oddly

from, or the thirst that parched him,
he took no thought, but it was the
sweetest drink that ever passed his
lips. She eased him back upon the
ledge, her arm still under his head. A
strand of her hair fell upon his face.
She tried to shake 1t off. He put up
his hand and covered it.
Her eyes dropped to his wounded
side.

Mask" she said, as If in pursuance Of
this morning."
Her next words were low and thought
full. I've wondered if it could have

ut was him."
The girls breath quickened. He saw
her fingers clench.
But there was much to do. Her eyes
turned again to his blood-stained gar
ments, and she set about uncovering
the wounded side. There was little
enough to remove-a shred or two of
tattered shirt; laying back Of the
torn blouse. After the first start at
sight of the wound she became curl
ously thoughtful. The color mounted
| to her face; he tried to meet her eyes,
but they turned away.
Can you spare me for a minute?"
For answer he lifted his head. She
eook away her arm, eased him back
upon the rock. and he heard Her light
step as she sprang around an angle
Of the clIff.

minute asked for. When she returned

was to this that the horse was tied.
For 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 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 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. 1t
was like breaking through the crust
of creation into a new world. Mar
yelling at the small amount of water
that had clung 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

asked, thick still with the flare Of tenn

"Wolf den. more'n likely" answered
one of the Others

suggested a voice.
The other voices grunted; and the
Pearlhunter heard them hopping back
across the stream. heard them clawing
their way through the tangled under
brush up the opposite bluff. The scar
in which he lay dipped slightly to-
ward the rear. He rolled back as far
ton afforded by the slightly higher
edge; stretched himself on his right
side; and waited for them to come
into view.
Fortunately the sun hit their side
of the gorge, and the Pearlhunter
could see them well. while, being on
the shady side, and back in the dark
ness of the scar. they could not see
him at all. The three of them drew
together in consultation. The PEARL
hunter could not make out their words,

to drag up with them, Indicated only
too plainly the general drift of what

With a final nod all around, they

showering him with dust and bits of
shale. The second fired. The bullet
passed close to his feet and lost it
self far back In the crevice where the
two strata of shale converged.
1t was now the third ones turn.
There came the hot spit of smoke;
the vicious. slap of the report. But
even before he saw the one, or heard
the other. he felt something like a
red coal sting his side just under the
armpit.
His side! A thousand flames had
got at it. Something warm and sticky
ran down under his tattered shirt and
made it mussy. The flames reached
his face and twisted it. The air seemed
to forsake the pocket. He crawlei to
the front of the scar.
He couldn't take his eyes away from
the water glancing along at the foot
of the cliff The flames had scorched
him dry. If he could only have one
sup of the water to moisten his lips
so that the breath could get through.
He crawled a little nearer the open
ing; held his face out over the ledge.
The ledge seemed to be rocking up
and down; the trees were dipping and
going around in a queer whirl that
made him dizzy. He had never known
trees to act like that. The tops of
the gorge were bending together. The
gorge came together-slowly-s out
the air-shut out the sky.

CHAPTER Ix-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 hat
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. 1t 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
the man who had just leaped and
the man who watched him were the
only two who knew there was any
thing back Of 1t.
The Pearlhunter stretched himself
fat under cover of clump of sprouts
growing about an old white oak
stump. and kept his eyes fixed on the
waterfall
Time goes slowly TO one who
watches and waits. 1t was probably
not more than ten minutes, though 1T
seemed far longer, when, without so
much as a diverted fleck of spray in
warning the waterfall flung forth up
on the fiat-topped rock 1.-THE and ac-
tive figure that sprang lightly to shore
over the two intervening stones.
Pausing 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 viii
lage. as unconcerned as if he had not
just pulled off about the most sensa-
tional stunt ever seen by Flatwoods-
man.
The Pearlhunter slipped out of the
cover and softly followed; trailed him
up the bluffs. through the corner of the
woods and out to the river road where
1t angles north through the cut in the
cliffs: listened at the fence, near
where the path crossed it, till the re-
ceding steps were well on their way

Port Covington-all today within the
limits of the city of Baltimore,
Because Of her zeal and loyalty,
Baltimore was singled out as the
target for British vengeance. On the
17th of June, 1914, n newspaper pub
lished in London stated:
"'rhe great expedition preparing at
Bordeaux for America is destined for
the Chesapeake direct. Our little army
in Canada will at the same instant be
directed to make movement in the
direction of the Susquehanna. Both
armies will in all probability meet at
Washington, Philadelphia, and Balti-
more. Our naval and military COM
manders have no power to conclude
any armistice or suspension of arms.
They carry with them certain papers
which will be offered to the American
government at the point of the bayo-
net"
After the humiliating sack of WASH
ington, the British turned with re-
newed anger to attack Baltimore. to
which the helpless national govern
ment could offer no resistance.
The British, however, found strong
Notifications to protect the city against
their attack. Gen. Samuel Smith, a
heroic revolutionary figure. with a
large force, had built fortifications over
mile in length from the harbor as
far as the present Hopkins hospital.
Behind these were mounted over 100
cannon, with 10000 troops. The cit
izens rallied as one man under General
Smith and toiled day after day with
pick, shovel, and wheelbarrow until n
great armament greeted the British
when. after the Battle of North Point,
they arrived within sight of the city
and were compelled to retreat to their
ships without single shot. The
Americans were so eager for the en-
counter they could not await their
coming. When news reached General
Smith of the anchorage at North Point
of British fleet of so vessels, the
most formidable fleet ever seen In
American waters, Gen. Stricken asked
leave to advance with a brigade of
5000 men to draw them on. Those

branch below the falls and hurried
away up the bluffs into the deep
woods.
A mile and more north of the wa
terfall, Wolf Run bends west to dou-
Bile and twist and loop through tan
gle of hills and gulches known as Fox
Den. the widest and most inaccessi-
BILE district of the Flatwoods. The
Pearlhunter had heard of the place.
He resolved to take his chances there.
The spot was no great distance above
the three-gabled cabin.
Away up the bare front of cliff his
eye lighted on the mouth of what ap-
peared TO be a cleft in the rock. Wolf
Run washed against narrow ledge at
the very foot of this cliff. He spread
himself fiat against the face of the
rock and strained from crevice to crew
ice. 1t was prodigious task. but all
tasks have an end-either at the bot
tom or at the top. The Pearlhunter's
task finally ended at the top. 1t
had to.
The strata gaped apart half the
height of man. leaving a wide-open
scar in the face of the cliff. 1t was per-
haps ten feet deep, and seemed to be
closed at the back by the dipping to-
gether of the two strata.
Rolling back as far within the open
Ing as the converging strata would
comfortably allow. he dropped his bat
tered head upon his arm to sleep the
rest of the night away.
The Pearlhunter walked with the
woods. His limbs and breast and
shoulders were so sore that he was
half glad for the snug place to lie in
like fox in his burrow. while the
hounds beat up the woods at fault.
Lack of water was the creates
drawback. Thirst was already begin

CHAPTER x.
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
above all-the picture. 1t puzzled him,
angered him. That such man should
have her picture; his mothers-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 a little faster as
he stepped down off the rock into the
water and 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 a
little when suddenly a sound came out
of the dark just ahead-a sound like a
garment rubbing against some rough
surface. The Pearlhunter stepped to
one side of the passage and flattened
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 Pearlhunter 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 Outstretched
arms. Though denied the use of his
eyes. he knew that the passage broad
fy expanded just there and became a
cave. He stood in the very entrance
of it.
The next step-there was no help
for flight! 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
cave. he reached his left hand along
. the wall to the farthest stretch of his
arm. bringing his body as far as possi-
BILE from tie light. and with his fin
gers fumbIed out spot suitably
smooth and dry-for there must be no
failure. The match scraped. A tiny
fame leaped away from the rock. II
