wondered whether. should he hurl all
his magnificent strength against the
panels. he could break the lock; and
If he did so. whether he could escape
with the girl before he was shot down.
But his hand, wandering over the
lock. encountered the key.
1t was easy, after all. He turned the
key. The door opened beneath his
hand.
If there had been a single ray of
light under the door or through the
keyhole, his course would have been
quite different. He would have opened
the door suddenly In that case, hoping
to take by surprise whOsoever of the
clan were guarding Linda. To open a
door slowly into room full of enc
mics is only to give them plenty of
time to cock their rifles. But In this
case the room was In darkness. and all
that he need fear was making a sud.
den sound. The opening slowly
widened. Then he slipped through and
stood ten breathless seconds in silence.

a long time for an answer. Then he
stole farther into the room.
Linda" he said again. "It's Bruce.
Are you here?"
And In that unfathomable silence he

CHAPTER XIX

AS Bruce hurried up the hill toward
the Ross estates. he made a swift cal.
culatIOn Of the rife shells in his pocix.
ct. The gun held six. He had perhaps
fifteen others In his pockets, and he
hadn't stopped to replenish them from
the supply EImIrn had brought. He
hadn't brought Dawes rife with him,
but had left 1t with the remainder of
his pack. He knew that the lighter he
travelled the grenter would be his
chance of success.
Obviously the girl hnd written when
the clan was closing about the house.
and finding her In the front room,
there had been no occasion to search
the other rooms and thus discover 1t.
The girl had kept her head even In
that moment OF crisis. A wave of ad-
miration for her passed over him.
And the little action had set an ex-
ample for him. He knew that only
rigid self-control and cOol-headetl
strategy could achieve the thing he had
set out to do. His impulse was to
storm the door. to pour his lead
through the lighted windows; but such
things could never take Linda out of
Simon's hands. Only stealth and eau
tion. not blind courage and frenzy.
could serve her now. Such blind
killing as his heart prompted had to
wait for another time.
He knew only the general direction
Of the Ross house where Simon lived.
Linda had told him 1t rested upon the
crest of small hill. beyond a ridge
Of timber. The moonlight showed him
a welI-beaten trail, and he strobe
swiftly along 1t.
He had vague sense of familiarity
with this winding trail. Perhaps he
had toddled down 1t as a baby, per-
haps his mother had carried him along
1t on a neighborly visit to the Rosses.
He went over the hill and pushed his
way to the edge of the timber. All
at once the moon showed him the
house. .......,. .....
He couldn't mistake 1t, even at this
distance. And to Bruce 1t had a singu-
lar effect of unrealIty. The mountain
men did not ordinarily build homes Of
such dimensions. They were usually
merely log cabins of two or three low
er rooms and garret to be reached
with a ladder. The ancestral home Of
the Rosses. however, had fully dozen
rooms. and 1t looined to an incredible
size in the mystery Of the moonlight.
Tie saw quaint gnbled roofs and far
spreading wings. And 1t seemed more
like house Of enchantment, struc-
ture raised by the rubbing Of a magic
lamp. than the work Of carpenters and
masons.
Probably its wild surroundings had
a great deal to do with this effect.
There were no roads leading to Trails
End. Material could not be carried
over its winding trails except on pack
animals. He had realization of ire
mei,dOus difficulties that had been con-
quered by tireIess effort. Of long
months Of unending toll. Of exhaust
less patience. and at the end-a dream
come true. All Of it's lumber had to
be hewed from the forests about Its
stone hsd been quarried from the rock
cliffs ai.j hauled with infinite labor
over the ,teep trails. ~

LIBRARY NATURE
TABLE A BENEFIT
Season for Keeping it Supplied Is at
Hand-Seyeral Hundred Specimens
Have Been Displayed.

Among the many services rendered by
the Brattleboro free library, the Nature
table, cared for by the Librarians, and
kept supplied with wild flowers during
the summer months, provides a source of
pleasure to many. which constitutes a
real benefit.
This table. during the past two years,
has displayed several hundred specimens
Of native wild flowers, and certain peo-
pie have formed the habit of going into
the library frequently to see what is
new on the Nature table. Besides the
flowers gathered near by. there also have
been displayed interesting plants not
native to this locality. among them the
mandrake or May-apple, the great white
trillium. Viper Is bugloss. Virginia cow
slip. and the strange snow flower, found
only at high attitudes and near snow
and ice
The fact that more than 10000 people
have attended the wild flower show be
ing held in Boston this week, during the
first few DAYS of the exhibit, shows the
interest and charm that this feature of
Nature study holds for the many.
The season for supplying the library
Nature table is at hand. and q wide
circle of people should be interested to
bring their finds to add to the dis
play. and make it more complete and
interesting than in any previous year.
