The strata gaped apart half the
height of a man. leaving a wide-open
scar In the face of the cliff. It was per
haps ten feet deep, and seenled to he
closed at the back hy the dipping to
gether of the two strata.
Rolling back as far within the open
ing as the converging strata would
comfortably allow, he dropped his bat
tered head upon his arm to sleep the
rest of the night'awav.
The Pearlhnnter waked with the
woods. His limbs and breast and
shoulders were so sore that he was
half glad for the snug place to lie In.
like, a fox in hl« burrow, while the
hounds beat up the woods at fault.
Lack of water was the greatest
drawback. Thirst was already begin
ning to annoy him. lie took out his
sandwiches and ate two more of them,
saving the other two until later In the
day. The salty bacon made the wa
ter more tempting still. He dr^vv hack
a little space from the brink of the
ledge out of sight of it The sound of
It still tempted him.
Voices reached him suddenly, break
ing upon the silence from around a
sharp turn of the gorge down stream.
He d-ew his face back from the brink
of the ledge and lay listening. It was
far too risky to look. His ears made
out three of them—three tongues, all
going at top speed, a sure sign that
eyes and ears were not as busy as
they might have been. Opposite the
cliff where the fugitive lay, the steps
stopped.
"What's that hole up there?"
It was a gruff and heavy voice that
asked, thick still wirh the tlare of tem
per that had not yet cooled.
"Wolf dpn. moron likely," answered
one "t the others.
"If we wus up th" bluff cross there
furntnst the hole, we could see In,"
suggested a voice.
The other voices granted; and the
IVarlhunter heard them hopping back
across the stream, heard them clawing
their way through the tangled under
brush up the opposite bluff. The scar
In which he lay d'pped slightly to
ward the rear. He rolled back sis far
as possible, so as ro have the protec
tion afforded by the slightly higher
edge; stretched hitiwelf on his richt
side: and waited for theiu to come
into view.
Fortunately the «nn hit their «ido

could see thtin while, being on
the shady side. nnil hack in the dark
ness of the <••:!!*. they ci)Ul'l not see

together In roiiMilmtion. The Pearl
hunter could nut make out their word*,

their rifle*. which they hail managed
to drag up with them, Indlrated only
too pl»i|ih the general drift of what
was being said.

showering h'ui wi !i dust ntid. hits of

passed close to his feet nnd lost it
self far hark In tl.e crevice where the
two strata "f shal invented.
It was i i.w t! • thini one's turn.
There rnme the 1->f spit of smoke;
the virions slap of the report. Hut
even before he saw the one, or heard
the other, he felt something like a
red coal sting his side Just under the
9nnplt.
His side! A thousand flames had
(tot at It. Something warm and sticky
•an down under his tattered shin nnd
made it mussv. The flames rear'">H
his face and twisted It. The air seemed
to forsake the pocket. He crawled to
the front of the scar.
He couldn't take his eyes away from
the water glancing along at the 'oot
[ of the cliff. The flames.had scorched
hlra dry- If he could only have one
sup of the water to moisten his lips
so that the breath could get through.
He crawled a little nearer the open
ing; held his face out over the ledge.
The ledge seemed to be rocking up
and down: the trees were dipping and
I going around In a queer whirl that
made him dizzy. He had never known
trees to act like that. The tops of
i the gorge were bending together. The
[ gorge came together—slowly—shut out
the air—shut out the sky.
CHAPTER XI.
Only the Hunted Know.
| For a long time the Poarlbunter lay
wondering why the gorge didn't fall
In. While he lay and wondered, an
other strange thing happened—the
very strangest of all.
The top of the gorge began to open
—opened and let in two little patches
of sky. He kept his eyes on them—
two little spots of blue set between
clouds of piuk and gold. The gorge
top opened wider. He came back to
j the two patches of sky; smiled oddly
| —they had transfigured; had become
[ the e.ves of the \V iid Huse,
The shooting hud brought her. tier
arm was under his head, und she wns
saying something. A tinge of crimson
deepened the pink In her cheeks when
ltis eyes came open. What If lie had
heard! Hut she met his eyes with
frank directness. lie lay looking up
at her a long time; trying to compre
hend It nil; the wonder of It!—that
she was there!
She hel|K>d him edge a little nearer
the hrtuk of the ledge, raised him, and
he drank out of her cupped palm.
Whether It was the cup he drank
from, ur the thirst that parched him,
he took no thought, but it wns the
sweetest drink that ever passed his
lips. She eased him back ui>ou the
ledge, her arm still under his head. A
strand of her hair fell upon his face.
She tried to shake It otT. He put up
his hand and covered It.
Her eyes dropped to his wounded
side.
"I didn't know he was the It oil
Mask," she said, as If in pursuance of
his tirst remark, "till those uien came
this morning."
Her next words were low and thought
ful. "I've wondered if It could have
been he that hurt Daddy?"
"It was him."
The girl's breath quickened. He saw
her lingers clench.
But there was much to do. Her eyes
turned again to his blood-stained gar
ments, and she set about uncovering
the wounded side. There was little
enough to remove—a shred or two of
tattered shirt; a laying back of the
torn blouse. After the tirst start at
sight of the wound she beenme curi
ously thoughtful. The color mounted
to her faee: he trip.I to meet her eyes,
bur they turned uway.
"t't'.ti you spare me for a minute?"
for answer he lifted his head. She
took away her arm. eased him back
upon the rock, and he heard her light
step as she sprang around an tingle
of the clitT.
Si.e was jruno !>:iroly more than the
minute asked fur. When she returned
she was carrying !n her hands a mini
her of strip*—bandages—of white
doth. Win r.' she cot them—well,
thut's her socret.
The Imllet had out a d-ep, ragged
pish Just !•<*'■ i\v the armpit. It had
grazed ji rili. Just -opinliigly had not
broken It. Wi'li ihat encouraging fnet
established, isihI tiii* siiiic of the
wound imi'-h allayed, the mind of the
nuin hP2.ii! reaching forward to the
night: ta'l-inn ■ r'nnt night—when
a certain <i;.-.ve Individual in a frock
coat would come to feed a certain
horse. He -a'd no word of this to the
girl already binding the bandages
aroimri the clean-washed wound. She
would have svouted the tuire sugges
tlon of the things fce was planning to
do the moment the dark was sufficient
ly dense to iiide him.
SI'e drew what was left of his tat
tered s! irt a'el Mouse over the ban
ting- at la»i laid his wounded arm
aero < l,is ' v s- n? •! sl'tng it there l»y
a Strip of cioih p" sell up around Ills
nei'k and helped him to his feet.
Ii shamed l ini that he was abso
lutely e.ini).i ' ■! to cling fast to her.
to lean heav.> up in lit r, or go hack t-i
tin rock. Ills face was far too \vli!te
to s! ow the mortification he felt, hut
she «aw If fii his «ves. I.lftine his
well arm and toying It across her
shoulders. *! e caught her left arm
nhout his blouse waist jind steadied
him.
The Wild IJo.se se, laud to have tak
en toll of every bit of sunshine that
ever struck the Flntwords. That was
the distinguishing feature of her per
sonality That ami her good. sound
sense. Her face was beaming full of
both right miw—the sunshine and the
sense. She was smiling up at him. he
knew. He was staring away above her
head—but he knew. The smile grad
ually drew his eyes down out of the
trees. lie could no more help It than
he could help leaning upon her. She
laughed—a In mating little laugh
like the happy wa'er curling against
the ledge. Me laughed back. He
couldn't help It. The restraint was
broken: the smart gone.
He glanced down at the ledge before
leaving "to see that no tell-tale blood
Kpots or bits of cloth were left. A
needless precaution—her woodcraft
was as fine as his own.
How she managed to lead him. half
carry him, out of the rocky and brok
en gulches of Fox f)en and down the
rough hanks of Wolf Itun to the cabin
of the three gables she never knew.
Neither did he. It always remained a
matter of wonder to him. Who does
knmv the source of power—that mys
terious augmentation of strength—thai
comes to a woman In a crisis?
She led him Into the house and to
the sofa In the main room; the queer
little leather-covered bed that had
stirred his curiosity the afternoon of
his first visit two days before.
The old man was not In the room.
She must have caught his eyes search
Uig ior iimu
"Daddy?" she answered to the eyes,
"lie often spends hours away. Th»re'll
be llitle pf'ss In the woods today that
he won't tee. though nobody will see
biro. I'oor Daddy!"
"We'll send for that surgeon tomor
row," he said.
She was back In a moment, carrying
a paD of water, fresh bandages, and a
formidable-looking brown bottle—cam
phor. the universal first aid In the
Flatwoods. The blood-soaked ban
dates were deftly removed and the
wound re-washed. She picked up the
brown bottle.
"I am sorry to hurt you," she said.
"But It will keep the fever down."
"You're the doctor," was his slow
answer.
She uncorked the bottle and applied
some of Its contents to the wound with
n bit of cotton. Ilurt 1 It hurt so that
he laughed.
"Anything to get ready for tonight,"
he grinned, under the bite of the pow
erful antiseptic.
"Tonight!" she repeated blankly.
"Why, you mustn't think "
"I must, though. Big tilings depend
on tonight." She saw a sternness
gather In his eyes. "He'll think I've
left the Flatwoods," he muttered on,
more to himself than to her. "It's
what he's been waiting for. His game!
—tonight!—and—I"
The girl saw the fingers of his right
hnnd clench against his palm—doubt
less quite unconsciously—while the
knotted ridges of his great forearm
bunched and swelled; but the full
meaning of the muttered words hap
pily missed her.
"Can you stand more camphor?" sbe
asked.
"I'll swim In It, If It will get me up."
The girl laughed, moistened the cot
ton anil laid It on the wound. He did
not even wince. The stfhg of It had
become to him a necessity, the grate
ful means to an end thnt must be ac
complished. Without tonight there
could be no tomorrow. She saturated
[ more of the cotton, laid It on the gash
and bandaged It there, drew the blouse
back Into place, smoothed the pillow
under his head and went to the
I kitchen.
lie heard the rattle of the stove, and
knew that she was preparing him
something to ent. It moved him, foi
he knew how pitiful little that kitchen
held, and yet she was going to share
It with him—the best of It—share It
with a smile, and the grace of a prln
| cess. He swore to himself thnt there
should be fooJ in that kitchen tomor
row.

| time, hearing a tray of snch food as

lie was sound asleep.
| She tiptoed back to the kitchen, set
the tmy on the stove hearth where It
wonld keep warm, re-entered the room,
drew a chair up beside the sofa, and
kept the buzzing flies away from his
face while he slept.
Noon came and passed. Several
times she went to the kitchen to mend
the tire and keep the tray warm; many
I a time she slipped from window to
j window, and listened at the doors for
I'sound of the hunters that somewhere
| combed the woods. The shadows
j turned eastward and still the man
| slept. The day had worn away to mld
' afternoon when he tossed restlessly

[ The movement seemed to provoke the

I his shoulder.
i "But I mustn't Impose on you like

! "Didn't you say u Utile bit ago that
! I was the doctor?"
! That dry smile that always started
t In his eyes first, crawled out across
, his face.
i "Then 1 command you 4o stay right

slow smile, as she hurried out to the
kitchen and carried in the tray.

| buttered his toast. The Pearlhunter
had never lived in such luxury. It
I was a dream—like some of the stories
| of fairies and enchanted palaces his
mother used lo tell of years ago In the
I long winter evenings on the house
boat. He half feared that he might
J riot really he awake; that, after all, it
| might turn out to be seme trick, like
| that of the gorge that closed.

j helped him back upon the couch.

The l»i*atiusi of (he swords of the
great war into plowshares and the
spears into pruninghooks is certainly
I going on apaw. Thus, take the great

lately purchased from the British,
t-'rendi an<l Belgian governments Mior
nous quantities of ammunition ranging
from bombs and other projectiles up
to 16-Inch shells. Why? In order to
"convert" them. The steel will be sold
as scrap. The cordite will be burned,
but the ammonium nitrate will be used
as fertilizer. Shrapnel bullets are to
be melted down and made Into spoons
and forks.
The Egyptians treat their women as
serfs. And a member of parliament,
who has been making a tour of Egypt,
says not without reason, that a nation
which enslaves its own women is not
fit to govern Itself. It may not be a
strictly logical argument for the Eng
lish to use, but, at least, it is a human
one. And the human impresses more
