prudent. The girl was walking very
rapidly. It was plain that she knew
she was being followed. 1t was
equally plain that she did not want
her pursuer to know that she knew IT.
But walk as fast as she would. the man
following her walked just bit faster.
Nearly mile below the village, and
half that distance above Fallen Rock.
the river road angles abruptly to the
north through a cut In the cliff ana
leads back into the level highlands.
Just where the road turns path

fence running along the east line of
the Warbritton lands, and enters the
woods The girl took this path. She
was In the act of climbing the fence
low and broken where the path
crossed it-when, with q prodigious
step or two, the d following caught
up with her a. COX hold of the
basket.

The Pearlhunter. from where he
had darted behind clump of hazel
growing rank along the side of the
road. could Just distinguish the
words
Without answering. the girl sprang
to the ground on the opposite side OF
the fence, but without letting go of
the basket Neither did the other let
go. Placing his disengaged hand
upon the top rail Of the fence. he
vaulted lightly over. The Pearlhun-

steal nearer. The sunbonnet hid the
girls face so that he could not see II,

His voice was low. soft, musical-too
musical. Surely it's no crime for
man TO admire pretty girl. The cat
may look at the queen you know"
He laughed. Something altogether
different from mirth in that laugh
something altogether different from
mirth behind It. The girl made no
reply-f the heavlng of her bosom
gave any index to her feelings, she
probably could not repy. She did
not even raise her eyes.
"You ignore me there in the vii
iage," he pursued. But out here in
the woods-well, it's out here in the
woods You've got to HI"
The exclamation was surprised out
of him. The girl bad suddenly
dropped her side of the basket and
whirled. But quick as she was. he
was quicker. As the basket clattered
to the ground he seized her arm.
There followed some muttered words,
and sinothered cry that the Pearl
hunter was too busy just then to un-
derstand.
The girl was still struggling, her as

violence. when grim face scowled

have it's classes open to women this
autumn. Under the direction of Erik

men and a Saturday afternoon sketch
class for men and women

their efforts. In fact the art classes
of the Charcoal Club this year will be
more like group of artists, who meet
in common studio to share a model
and gain ideas by contrast and
criticism.
Both Mr.. Haupt and Mr. Mackall
have been students at the Royal Acad-
emy of Munich and in the ateliers OF
Jean Paul Laurens and Richard Mil
