he had no time to add anything, nor
had Tony time to answer him.
For there on the HoghOle path look

together, was her father.
Uridh Devon had halted at the sight
Of man being thrown into the water.
Then he came forward, and the girl
loosened herself from the arms that
held her and turned swiftly to him.

and again came sharper where's

aside, Uriah walked across the boat

"What you mussin' about my boat

Philip f1ercely. "The pup was--was-"
he made gesture toward Tony as
Devon's interruption beched forth:
"Was 1t any of your business what
happened to my glrl?'
Uriah took another step toward the
young captain.
That's your canoe, amt II, roped to
my dock?" he demanded fercely.
"Well, hop in and get away If you
don't want a broken SKULL"
Philip sent a flashing glance to the
silent, white girl. There was such ter

came together tensely.

Devon was forcing Philip backward
toward the end of the dock, and by
this time Reginald had crawled to the
shore and had lain down upon It,
Don't lag, mister" cried Tony to
Philip. "Go along to Ithaca"
MacCauley stepped into his canoe,
and Devon sullenly unfastened the
rope and threw II into the bow of the
craft.
Don't come back here If you don't
want q taste of this" he snapped,
touching his gun. Get out and stay
out, mister"
With the end Of the revolver he
gave the canoe q shove, and Tony saw
the paddle dip into the water and the
boy move away.
Uriah stood moment and looked
off to the hills. Then locking Tony
In the cabin he went to where Reggie
lay Oh the shore and helped him back

Philip almost lost his hold on the boat
as Gussie came against his face. He
shatched the pig and dropped II at his
feet. Then a pair of bare legs fol-
lowed and Tony's body began to wrig-
gle through the narrow aperture.
Once or twice Philip muttered an
ejaculation as streak of lightning
crossed the sky only to die and leave
the water as dark as before. 1t was
taking the girl an interminable time to
saresxe herself through that opening.
