CHAPTER xxx

As Bruce waited, his eyes slowly be came accustomed to the darkness. He began to see the dim outlines of his fellow occupants of the roOm-fully seven brawny men seated in chairs about the walls. Lets hear you drop your rifle" one of them said.
 Bruce recognized the grim voice as Simon'S-heard on one occasion before. He let his rifle fall from his hands. He knew that only death would be the answer to any resistance to these men. Then Simon scratched a match, and without looking at h:m, bent to touch it to the wick of the lamp.
 The tiny flame sputtered and flick cred, filling the room with dancing shadows. Bruce looked about him.
 Simon sat beside the fireplace, the lamp at his elbow. As the wick caught, the light frightened and stead jed. and Bruce could see plainly. On each side of him, in chairs about the walls, sat Simon's brothers and his blood relations that shared the estate with him. They were huge, gaunt men. most of them dark-bearded and saIlow-skinned. and all of them regard ed him with the same gaze of specula- tive interest.
 Bruce did not finch before their gaze. He stood erect as he could. in- stinctively defiant.
 Our guest is rather early" Simon began. ''Dave hasn't come yet. and Dave is he principal witness
 A bearded man across the room an- swered him. 'But I guess we ain't gofn' to let the prisoner go for lack of evidence
 The circle laughed then-a harsh sound that was not greatly different from the laughter of the coyotes on the sagebrlIsh hills. But they sobered when they saw that Simon hadn't laughed. His dark eyes were glowing
 ''You. by no chance, met him on the way home. did you?'' he asked.
 ''I wish had,'' Bruce replied. "But I didn't"
 "I don't understand your eagerness. You didn't seem overly eager to meet uS''
 Bruce smiled wanly. These wilder ness men regarded him with fresh in- terest. Somehow, they hadn't counted on his smiling. It was almost as if he were of the wilderness breed himself, instead of the son of cities. I'm here, am I not?'' he said. ''It isn't as if you came to my house firSt.'
 'sYeS you're here" Simon confirmed And Pm wondering if you remember what I told you just as you left Mar tins store that day-that I gave no man two warnings"
 "I remember that" Bruce replied. ''I saw no reason for listening to you. I don't see any reason now, and I wouldn't if it wasn't for that row of guns"
 Simon studied his pale face. Per haps you'll be sorry you didn't listen, before this night is over. And there are many hours yet in it. Bruce-you came up here to these mountains to open old wounds.''
 "Sfmon, I came up here to right wrongs-and you know it. If old wounds are opened, can't help it.''
 And tonight" Simon went on as if he had not been answered, you have come unbfdden into our house. It would be all the evidence the courts would need, Bruce-that you crept in to our house in the dead of night. If anything happened to you here. no word could be raised against us. You were a brave man, Bruce

Some way, he felt less hopeful of sue cess. He recalled in his mind the di- rectiOnS that Linda had left, wonder ing if he had come to the wrong win- dow. But there was no chance of mistake in this regard it was the north ernmost window in the east wing. However, she had said that she would be confined in an interior room, and possibly the Turner's had seen no need of barriers other than its locked door. Probably they had not even anticipated that Bruce would attempt rescue.
 He leaped lightly upward and slipped silently into the room. Except for the moonlit square on the floor it was quite in darkness.
 He stood a moment, hardly breath ing But he decided it was not best to strike match. A match might reveal his presence to some one in an adjoin- ing room. He rested his hand against the wall. then moved slowly around the room. He knew that by this course he would soon encounter the door thaS led into the interior rooms.
 In a moment he found it, He stood waiting He turned the knob gently; then softly pulled But the door was locked.

Society made the acquaintance of a
new dramatist among its own members
in Miss Mary Hoyt wiborg author Of
Taboo" which was presented at the
Sam III. Harris Theater yesterday after
noon. Miss Wiborg was recalled after
the second act, but modestly appeared
only once. The audience of her friends
was eager to see her again. Miss Mar
garet Wycherly, who played the leading
role. explained that Miss Wiborg had
asked her to say she had gone home.
Even the bouquet thrown by an en-
thusiastic admirer lay neglected on she
stage.
Miss Wiborg has departed from the
customary fiction OF the playwright AMI
devoted her work to a study of the in
fiuence of the voodoo religion as it was
popularly called on the imagination Of
the negro in Louisiana. The time CT
Taboo is 1850. The action passes
on o sugar plantation in Louisiana on
the shores of the neighboring Lake
Ponchartrain three hours later. and in a
savage compound on the Guinea coast
of Africa. 1t Is from one to another
OF these localities that the action shifts.
It is not action in the sense that the
quality is found in most plays, since
Miss Wiborg has painted picture OF
period ana the particular 1eHglon tnat
fourished in it. She has not drawn con-
clusions nor suggested remedies. The
study OF this fetish worship on the negro
mind and the picturesqueness with
which it was manifested have been the
subjects of her preoccupation. These
were Interestingly presented, and in the
second act a notably impressive spec
table came to the aid of the writer.
The part Of 1880, in which the acts
are laid. is made plain. There Is
drought and the time Is the second half
of June. since it Is on the Eve of st.
Johns Day that the devout among the
believers in voodoo's hocus pocus meet
to hold their annual reunion OF the
Circle of True Believers. The household
negroes on the plantation are con-
cerned at this time with special
problem.
The child Of the house has never
grown mentally nor spoken. The doc
tors have struggled in vain to find n
remedy for his arrested growth. The
servants believe that he has been
'witched." His fondness for animals
indicates that he has been thrown under
the spell of a voodoo. Repugnant as
the suggestion Is at first. the desperate
