Kos. with the grinding noise of breaking wood, the tree’started to fail. And at that instant Ned was face to face with the exigency of leaping for his life. The tree did not fall in the direction planned. An Instant be fore, weary and aching and out of breath, Ned would have believed himself incapable of swift and power ful motion. As that young spruce shattered down toward him, like the club of a giant aimed to strike out his life, a supernatural power seemed to snatch him to one side. Without realization of the effort, the needed muscles contracted with startling force, and he sprang like a distance jumper to safety. But he didn’t jump too soon or too far. The branches of the tree lashed at him as it descended, hurling him headling in the snow. And there after there were three things to cause him thought. One of them was the attitude of Bess —the girl to Whom, in. weeks past, he had shown hardly decent courtesy: the same girl whom in childish fury he had cursed the bitter, eventful night just gone. Above the roar of the falling tree he heard her li£ HALF CAKHIBd. HALF DRAGGED THEM INTO THE CABIN. quick, half strangled gasp of horror. The sound seemed to have the qualities that made toward a perfect after-image; because in the silence that'followed, as he lay in the soft snow, and the crash of the fallen tree echoed into nothingness, it still lin gered, every tone perfect and clear, in his mind's ear. There was no denying its tone of ineffable dismay. Evidently Cess was of a forgiving i disposition; in spite of his offense of the past night she had evidently no desire to see him crushed into jelly under that giant s blow. Cess was staring wide-eyed into ’ » face: and he smiled quietly in -■ 'trance ‘‘Net. hurt at all.” he * itn - 'jiiic-kly he climbed to his t ‘Se< that you don't do the , ■ <■ ’hint: tha-. ! did.", !

Ij was the*danger point, i- thought: a deeper cut rhight fell re prematurely. P-resentlv he crossed to the opposite side, signaled Rf s> out of danger, and began to hack the tree again, making a cut somewhat above that started on rhe other =.de of the trunk. He chopped sturdily: and in a moment the tree started to fall, safely and in an op |x'sli*~direetion. lie uttered some small sound of triumph: hut it was a real tragedy PALLAS WITHDRAWS APPEAL.

There was nothing to do but clhnb into the adjoining tree with his axe and laboriously cut the lodged tree away. In the meantime Bess went to work on the first tree felled, trim ming it of Its limbs so to cut it into lengths. Ned joined her at the work, but long before the first tree was cut into fuel, both were at the edge of utter exhaustion. Doomsdorf had seemed almost in credible to Ned at first. It was as if he couldn’t possibly be true: a fig ment of nightmare that would vanish as soon as he wakened. But he was real, enough now. Nothing was left to him but the knowledge how real he was. He must not r4st, he must not pause till the work was done. The fact that Bess had fallen, fainting, in the snow, did not affect him; he must swing his axe and. hew the wood. Day was dying. Grayness was creeping in from the sea. It was like the essence of the sea itself, ell gray, gray like his dreams, gray like the ashes of his hopes. He must finish the two trees before the dark ness came down and kept him from seeing where to sink the blade. The axe swung automatically In his arms; even sense of effort was gone from him. The only reality that lived in him now, in that misty twi light, was the knowledge that he must get through. i It was too dark to now, how much of the work remained. The night was cheating him. after all. He struqk once more at the tough length that lay at his feet—a piece at which, he had already struck uncounted hlows. He gave all his waning strength to the effort. The length split open, but the axe slipped out of his bleeding hands, falling somewhere in the shadows beyond. He must crawl after it; he didn’t know how many more lengths there were to split. It was strange that he couldn’t keep his ffcet. And how deep and still was the night that dropped over him! How long he groped for the axe handle in the snow he never knew. But he lay still at last. Twilight deepened about him. and the wind wept like a ghost risen from the sea. The very flame of his life was burn ing down to embers. Thus it came about that Dooms dorf missed the sound of his axe against the wood. Swinging a lan tern. a titanlf* i-ftgure among the snow-laden trees, he tramped down to investigate. Bess, semi-conscious again, wakened When the lantern light danced into her eyes. But it took him some little time to see Ned’s dark form in Jhe snow. The reason was. it was lying be hind a mighty pile of split fuel. The light showed that only green branch es, too small to be of value, remained of the two spruce. And Doomsdorf grunted, a wondering oath, deep is his throat. Thej” had been faithful Slaves. Put ting his mighty arm around them, each in turn, he half carried, half dragged them into the warmth of the cabin. XV-Til NED was spared the misery and despair that overswept Dooms dorf’s cabin the first night of his imprisonment. His master dropped him on the floor by the Stove, and there he lay. seemingly without life, the whole night through. Yet he was not always deeply in sensible. Sometimes he would ivaken with a knowledge of wracking pain in h:s muscles, and sometimes co-id would creep over him. Once he came to himself with the rea'lzation that some one was administering to him. Soft, gentle hands were removing his wet. outer garments, rolling him gently over in order to get at them, slipping off his wet shoes and stock ings. A great tenderness swept over him. and he smiled wanly in the lan tern light. “Lenore?” the man whispered feebly. But there was »o 3poken answer out of the shadow at the edge of the lantern light. Perhaps there waa the faint sound, like a gasp, almost «s if a terrible truth that was for ail instant forgotten had been recalled.
