CHAPTER XVIII
In the Dead Might.


Twilight had long faded into dark,
the hazy stars seeming only to inten-
sify the deep gloom of the woods,
when Jack Warhope returned to Black
rock, coming in by way of the feed
pens, and slipping the horses into the
barn through the cattle sheds.
He crouched a long time on the
kitchen step listening. No unusual
sound disturbed the silence. Very care
fully he fitted his key-the same that
had come so near causing him trouble
at the inquest-into the lock; guard
eddy turned it; worked the door slow
ly open; entered; softly closed and
locked IT.
Stealing across the floor, he made
his way to the small Office room where
the papers and safe were kept.
He tiptoed behind the curtains that
hung over the entrance to a closet I'M
der the stair In the sitting room and
stood still, his ears strung for every
sound that rode the night.
1t couldn't have been short of mid
night, and his mind had gone back to
the house-boat, riding safe and secure
In the pocket at Alpine island, when
there came the sound for which his
ears were straining-hands outside
prying at the window of the west room.
He drew his revolver, cooked it and
took position so that he could see
through the curtains without causing
them to move.
There came q low sound of crum-
bling wood; the muffled slither Of crack
Ing glass; the soft CRATE Of the sash as
1t was slowly raised; finally the creak
Of the window-sill and the faint swish
Of clothing as somebody crawled
through. The sounds were repeated
One-nO more.
There followed the subdued shuttle
Of feet; the guarded scrape Of match !;
the flicker Of tardy candle. A dim
light fell through the open door in a
long splotch Of yellow across the sit.

Che AUST have known when the boat
stepped, must Aave heard the scrape
sf the limbs aRd vines as II was poled
ap int the pocket. for there followed
ap interval Of silence. He coald not
resist the longing to steal once more
to the narrow creviee where the bar
Of candle-light escaped. He brought
his eye close; peeped within.
She was standing near the middle
of the floor, listening intently and APP
parently in deep thought. AS he
watched. he saw sudden light leap
to her face and wake the wonder of
her eyes. She crossed the floor; came
close to the door and with the eau
ton of woodcraft almost as fine as
his own. softly called;
jack
1t took the utter sum of the mans
resolution to keep still. He watched
the wonder of her eyes transform to
disappointment and despair; watched
her stand clasping and unclasping the
slim fingers OF her shapely small
hands.
One consideration alone restrained
him from beating to fragments the dis
abled paddock and setting her free
right in that stout cabin, with its
doors secured by jammed locks that
could not be opened without breaking,
securely hidden at the end of COW
cred trail, was the safest place in the
Flatwoods for her just then. There
would be hard faces and quick fingers
in the red-roofed cottage that night.
But even so, it was the most diff
cult thing the big woodsman had ever
tried to do in his life to turn away
from that door and go back to the
sklff.
With set and serious face he rowed
up the channel, around the head of
the island, across to the mainland and
carefully stepped ashore; dropped
both oars into the river; set the boat
adrift; stood a moment watching it
float away and, with extraordinary
pains to hide his trail, hurried back to
Graylock.

TEXAS POTASH

Senator Morris Sheppard, of Tex
as, has bill before Congress- for an
appropriation to pay for the explor-
alton of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Tex
as fields said to contain potash in
quantity sufficient to supply the needs
Of the United States for centuries
to come, at the present rate of con-
sumption. The best prospect is re-
ported to be in western Texas where
there is an area running 220 miles
north and south and 125 miles east
and west. These beds are 900 niles
from Muscle Shoals and ATS miles
from Galveston. The presence of pot
ash in IL Texas wells from which
samples have been taken is positive,
but the Government has no know
ledge of the thickness of the beds.
The best Texas sample tested 15.2
per cent, constituting product that
could be applied to land as it came
from the we'll.
IA the hearing on the subject be-
fore the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee, ] w. Terrentine, of the Bur-
eau of Soils of the Department of
Agriculture, in charge of potash re-
search, advocated protective tariff
to encourage the production of do
mestic potash. 1t was placed on the
free list in the present law. Sena-
tor Sheppard voted against the Ford
aey- McCumber tariff modities rails
ed in Texas. How would he vote on
potash, in view of his present bill?

false; by far the longest speech he
had ever made In his life, even with
so much left ont He saw questions

moan came from the parlor bedroom
and every other consideration gave
way to the sufferer.
Alone with Uncle Nick, the woods
man securely fastened the window
that had been pried open, closed tAa
door on the gruesome scene and went
to the kitchen. Curious faces were he-
ginning to gather in the yard. Ha
turned to the old man.

The brows of the old hunter lifted.

the room they had just left.
The next moment, with step that
the years seemed powerless to totter
or stiffen, he had glided through the
kitchen door and out among the curl
GUS faces in the yard.

She came to the door on the outside
OF which he was crouched and tugged
at the latch, as she had probably done
many times since being left a pris-
oner, but the stout padlocked hasp
held firm. With an exclamation that
held just shade of petulance, she
turned away.
He watched her till she passed out
of range OF the crevice-doubtless to
sound the walls for some other means
Of escape.
But the narrow opening had told
him what it heartened him much to
know. He took bullet from his
pouch; tiattened it between his teeth;
with his powerful fingers forced it
noiselessly into the keyhole of the
paddock in such way as to make it
impossible to insert the key; jaInmed
II so tight with the blade of his pocket
knife that nothing short of lock-
smiths tools could have dislodged it.
Crawling along the gangway to the
after deck, he rendered the paddock
on the rear door equally useless; lis
tened a moment to the quick restless
steps inside; crawled under the hand
rail to the bank and, with every pre-
caution known to woodcraft to hide
his trail, recrossed the island to the
skiff.
He showed the skiff into the water,
rowed up around the head of the
island, down the south channel and
skiff to the rail, he unhitched the rope
from the willow on the bank; sprang
lightly to the forward deck, being
careful to keep out of range of the
creyice between the door and lamb
