elected yesterday.
The purpose is to promote interest

of the Harding family. did some first

to perceive objects about her, and thus
grasp something of the situation.
Little by little the details came back

emitting one startled cry for help, be-
fore the fingers of her assailant closed
viselike on her throat She was in the
| grasp Of giant, merciless in the ex-
ercise of his power, and felt herself
dragged helplessly through the tangle
Of vines into blackness beyond. 1t was
man; she knew that, although she
had no glimpse of the face, and made
desperate effort at release, given I'M
usual strength by terror; but the grip
on her throat frightened remorselessly,
and her power Of resistance waned,
until she suddenly lost consciousness
and all sense of her surroundings. Her
body lay limp in the fellows arms, and,
with growl Of satisfaction, he bore
the motionless, seemingly lifeless body
back through the deepening shadows,
and cast it down on the stone floor.
The man stood above the huddled fig
ure OF the girl, hardly defined, shape
less In the gloom, and laughed silent
ly. He bent down and touched her,
only to straighten up once more, con-
vinced she was not dead. A rifle
leaned against the back wall, and he |
picked 1t up, tested its mechanism,
and moved silently forward to the. en-
trance, the weapon resting in the crook |
of his arm.
Cautiously he parted the leaves and |
looked out, searching the full length |
Of the deserted valley. Nothing of |
met his gaze, for he rest
ed back on convenient boulder, and
continued his vigil, as motionless az
the stone on which he sat. He must
have remained In that position for an
hour. occasionally shaking his head,
and muttering incoherently to himself.
Then, suddenly, and without warning,
he fellow appeared to relax, his head
sinking forward on the arm resting
above the gun muzzle, and he sank
nto a deep sleep.
Deborah stirred slightly in the black
,ornsr where she had bsen> thrown.
