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 fiat
top OF 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
RED 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 it that probably
the man who had Just leaned and
the man who watched him were the
only two who knew there was any
thing back of it.
The Pearlhunter stretched himself
nat under cover Of a clump of sprouts
growing about an old white oak
stump, and kept his eyes fixed on the
waterfall.

watches and waits II waa probably
not more than ten minutes, though it
seemed far longer. when, without so
much as diverted fleck of spray in
warning, the waterfall flung forth up
on the ftat-topped rock a 1.-the and ac-
tive figure that sprang lightly to shore
over the two Intervening stones.
Pausing on the brink of the pool

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 a 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
II 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

Pearlhunter had heard of the place.
He resolved to take his chances there.
The spot was NO great distance above
the three gabed cabin.
Away up the bare front Of a cliff his
eye lighted on the mouth Of what ap-
peared TO be cleft in the rock. Wolf
