CHAPTER x.
The Candle In the Granny.

ne Canote IN tne tyranny. 81
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 TRANSPORTED
face; his actions with the picture
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! 1t
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 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 f1attened
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 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. It 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
~ expanded just there and became a
cave. He stood in the very entrance
of it.
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, 1t was bet
ter than to stumble over a 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 posi-
BILE from the light, and with his fin
ge S fumbled out a spot suitably
smooth and dry--for there must be no
failure. The match scraped. A tiny
fame leaped away from the rock. 1t
lighted up the place surprisingly.
The cave was not large-hardly
twice the size of an ordinary room.
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.

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
they had TRANSPORTED; had become
the eyes Of the Wild Rose.
The shooting had brought her. Her
arm was under his head, and she was
saying something. A tinge of crimson
deepened the pink in her cheeks when
his eyes came open. What If he had
heard! But she met his eyes with
frank directness. He lay looking up
at her long time; trying to compre-
bend it all; the wonder of it!-that
she was there!
She helped him edge little nearer
the brink of the ledge, raised him, and
he drank out of her cupped palm.
Whether it was the cup he drank
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 it off. He put up
his hand and covered it.
Her eyes dropped to his wounded
side.
II didn't know he was the Red
Mask she said, as if in pursuance of
his first remark. "till those men came
this morning"
Her next words were low and thought
full. i've wondered if it could have
been he that hurt Daddy?"
"It was him."
The girls breath quiclzened. He saw
her fingers clench.
But there was mucn 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 minute!'
For answer he lifted his head. She
took away her arm, eased him back
upon the rock, and he heard her light
step as she sprang around an angle
of the cliff.
She was gone barely more than the
minute asked for. When she returned
she was carrying in her hands num-
Der of strips-bandages-of white
cloth. Where she got them-Weii,

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 fiat
top of q 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 It.
The Pearlhunter stretched himself
fat under cover Of q clump of sprouts
growing about an old white oak
stump, and kept his eyes fxed on the
waterfall.
Time goes slowly to one who
watches and waits 1t was probably
not nlors 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 &C
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 vii
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
to the village.

drained gourd Of water, crossed the
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 tostake 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 a 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 prodigi0us 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 nan, leaving 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 hurrow, while the
hounds beat up the woods at fault.
Lack of water was the greatest
drawback. Thirst was already begin
ming to annoy him. He took out his
sandwiches and ate two more Of them,
saving the other two until later in the
day. The salty bacon made the wa
ter more tempting still. He drew back
little space from the brink Of the
ledge out of sight of it. The sound of
it still tempted him.
Voices reached him suddenly, break
ing upon the silence from around a
sharp turn of the gorge down stream.
BE drew his face hack from the brink

OF the ledge and lay listening. It was
far too risky to look. Ills ears made
out three of them-three tongues, all
going at top speed, a sure sign that
eyes and ears were not as busy as
they might have been. Opposite the
cliff where the fugitive lay, the steps
stopped.
"What's that hole up there?"
IT was q gruff and heavy voice that
asked, thick still with the flare of tenn
per that had not yet cooled.
"Wolf den, more'n likely" answered
one Of the others.
"If we wus up tn bluff cross there
furninst the hole, we could see In"
suggested voice.
The other voices grunted5; 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
as possible, so as to have the protec-
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
J the shady side, and bnck 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,
but the manner In which they handled
their rifles. which they had managed
to drag up with them, indicated only
too plainly the general drift Of what
was being said.
with final nod all around. they
faced the pocket, and one of them
raised his rifle. The bullet struck the
roof of the scar just In front of him,
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 sidel 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 crawleG 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 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 ogether-slowly- out
the air-shut out the sky.
