Maty's ardor was considerably cool, ed ty this. In spite of his short legs, Maty was a pretty good walker. He went on without adventure of any kind until he was crossing the road where they had left the wagon. Here ho was startled by a heavy hand on his shoulder. , T - He started and looked up, expecting to see the terrible face of a robber, but lnctead his eyes rested on the smiling face of Mr. Hunt. But the smile faded and the deputy ivSSvn puu u joa paobj ijpaits sheriff looked .worn and haggered. , "They've come mighty night gettln me this time, all on account of Miss Liza Jane," he 'said, stepping out inta the road. -: . . "I'm sorry. Mr. Hunt," Maty ex claimed quickly. ' "Oh, It don't matte?. My head ain't worth a frost-bitten persimmon, no how. I was looking for the child. I " . . 5 He threw up his hands as a sharp report rang through the air. - "Oh, Mr. Hunt! You are snot: Maty cried, rushing to him. "It's them. I'm a gorner tnis lime. Tell Lucy and the kids." Ho fell with hla face in tne oust. -Maty forgot his own danger and bent over his friend. "Be good to" "We will. If we live,' ised solemnly. . Maty's eyes were full of great bund ing tears. The officer could not speak, but, lift ing his hand, he pointed to a clump of gallberry bushes at the side of the road.. ; Maty's eyes followed. He saw a dark hideous face, and a revolver Dointed at his own head. And then the pistol was knockedj away and the boy heard a volley of blood-curdling oaths uttered in a gruff voice and ending with the command: "Fool, stop!" And a tall form appeared In the road beside the prostrate body. Instinctively the dying offlcer'a hand clutched at his pistol, but his finger stiffened on the handle. Maty turned to the stranger and looked squarely Into the terrible face. "Now, as fast as you want them knocked over, let them be seen with you. If you value your life, go back where you came from Maty stooped to pick up his gun, but the robber quickly forestalled him, and, bending his knee? deliberately broke the gun across it and tossed the pieces carelessly awey. ' 1 7 The man whose wicked face ; Maty had first seen, now came out and, turning the ofncer'g body over, pro ceeded In a leisurely way to rob It of whatever he considered valuable. Want 'em Cap'n?" he asked, look Ing up at the taller man.',' "No.".' - . " ' ' , ' vi nen turning to tno boy. "Qo!" he said, pointing to -the swamp, and Maty went. This was very different from the encounter Maty had planned when he used to talk about the Lbwrles. He looked back and gaw the body of the deputy sheriff In the dust, but he dar ed not go back. ; He was sure that the man who had spoken to him was the leader of the gang, and he knew that the steady hand of the chief had sent the bullet with such unerring skill to the heart of the officer. "Maty hurried home. Uncle Emer son was on the lookout for him. . He listened with a grave face to the story the boy had to tell. Maty, we are in evil case. "I've! been dreaming dreams, and seeing vis ions. We are In a bad fix. It don't matter for me. "I'm about done any how, and X can drop down among the cypress knees and be at rest; but you all?" "They're after the money, and they are watching us till me find it. That's why they've taken Toney; they know we will never leave her," Maty eald. Don't let Max know that Mr. Hunt is killed. Oh, if we could only find Tony!"

For awhile Max looked at the three streams, sluggish and dirty and thick with swamp plant, with only the lazy sort of Interest that a prisoner might take in his surroundings. He noticed that an island something like his own was cut off by them, only the water was deeper and the land higher. And then the hot blood flew to hl3 head and his eyes were blinded and his ears deafened. The three 6treama formed a triangle with a waving line of water from each, corner. His brain beat and burned, and the three streams seemed to be colling like shining serpents about it He won dered what It meant : He could not recollect why a tri angle should Interest him. He could not think. He tried to force his mind, but it slipped away to a dark place, and he could not find it. He closed his eyes and sounds of distant music tormented him. He could not get away from the sound. ; , Wlren they saw that he was much worse they let the hammock down and took Mm into the house. Uncle Em erson covered the boy's burning head with cooling leaves, and he and Maty waited."-f ' It is his brain; the fever's gone to it," the old nurse said. So they watched him day and night, and at last Max was better again, but he was too weak to speak or move and a nervous as a sick woman. For days he could not even think of the ham mock without being made worse. But at last he began to wonder what con nection the hammock could have with his Illness. His mind was as weak as his body. - They hung the blanket low at first. and he lay Jn it for hours trying to recollect Then he had It higher until It was at last in its old place. From there he saw the streams and he knew that they had something to uo with hls-lllness. - One day it all came to him, and agam he crawled to' Maty's hammock At first he was afraid to look, but when he did there were the streams that formed the triangle! It was like the pne he had seen blotted on the desk, cut In the window glass, and scraped on the door In Colonel Zack eiya bed room. 1 Did it all mean anything? It seemed Impossible that he, a boy, should have traced all this. Colud it be that, sick and disabled, he had actually found the hidden treasure? And ought he tell Maty? He decided to keep it to himself until he should be sure. v Ha Improved rapidly now, and when he could go about he secretly fastened a rusty bayonet that he had found, to the barrel of his heavy old gun and when, they were watching no' longer he crept out into the night and went oyer to the streams. He crossed and slow ly thrust the bayonet Into the ground at every step, stopping to listen, now and .! then, He v thought- , the camp might be watched but toe saw nothing to alarm him. : ' ,; .;,; ,-. From the centre of the plot of ground he walked out to the points, looking always for the forked tree saw a slim white bay that had once been forked about three feet from the ground, but one limb had been torn away In a storm so that it now.aeem- ea iw oe oniy a projection, inis must have been the tree in; which Uncle Emerson caught his arm, when he fell after burying1 the box. Lifting his gun once more' he thrust it ddwn and-lt struck something solid. Again, and the bayonet would gono farther! His heart stood . still. .. .The stars swam wildly about him. his knees gave way and he sank to the earth, CHAPTER XVIII. CHAPTER XVII. ANOTHER TRIANGLE. Max was not . satisfied with Maty's account of his visit to Lumberton, but ne naa no cause to suspect deception. Maty had been gone long enough, but somehow Max felt troubled. Mr. Hunt was not in town. That was all that Maty could tell He wanted to tell Max all. but in the evening when the sick boy's fever went up he saw the wisdom of keeping any exciting news from him. "If it gets much higher, we can't do anything with it," the anxious old nurse said, as they listened to the boyswild talk about triangles and waved lines. : Tha fever ran very high, but thers were hours when there was none, and thesebeganlo -lengthen-la-iumbr, while the' "hot stage" grew shorter. Therefore, the remedies had a "chance to take hold," as Uncle Emerson said The. old man was very proud of his success, and Max, swinging among the fragrant pine boughs, felt hope and energy alive in hl heart again. ' He was very weak and all day he could do nothing but lie stlfl looking about him, lor he was too troubled about Tony to care for his books Tnere were places in the swamp where the pools of water were large and these left open spots here and there., There were, therefore, from the height at which the hammock hun. "long avenues and openings through which Max could look farin- to the swamps and woods beyond. It emused him as he lay thefe day after day, to trace odd shSpes in the groups of foliage. These be learnid to know, and every morning his tyes traveled around, . , . One day he thought he could trace two streams of water that met over at the ,edffe of the higher woods and no-tfea into one, . 1 :m,.. v ..--.? v ., .

She believed that something would happen, but she understood that she could expect nothing from Rhoda, She amused herself by planning wonderful ways of escape, but nono of them seemed practicable. .

He was like j the chief, only' smaller and less com-; mauding in appearance, and his face j was not so cruelly handsome and j wicked. Tcny watched the men as they slip ped like shadows into the swamp and wondered why she could not follow them and get away. She knew, that there was ; a v strange : labyrinth of paths through the swamp, and that a false step meant a horrible death. The swamp mud, black and bottom lei.s, was ready to swallow up what ever came In contact with it r Tony was not sure of the direction she had come, and there was lltti hope, .that without assistance so would ever find her way back to th boys.

There wero several men whom Tony had not seen before white men, she thought they were, and they were drinking. The mtn who had been coming In regularly had never done this, &ni tho drunken carousal that grew as th3 uight deepened frightened the child ttrrlbly. s 77 She had only one thought, and that was to gef away. , It seemed . to :. her that anything was preferable to tVs. Nothing had ever been ao terrible i o foro. It seemed to the child that she must die if those eyes should find her, or the terrible voices speak to hjer. Some Instinct told her that her great est danger had come, andher one de sire was to escape. . - . Prlscilla ha dforgotten her woman hood and was drinking with the men and laughing shrilly at their rude Jokes. Her.face, old ' and withered was like a nightmare now that It was flushed with drink. Any wild beast in the swamp was srentler than these crazed creatures Tony felt that she could slip down in to the solft cool mud ana thank uoa for the awful winding sheet. :. The chief had not come. Many of the less vicious of the men were ab sent. The very worst of - the band were here and she was at their mercy. The old woman crept away at last and went to sleep in a corner. . - And then .Tony - decided to go! It was not freedom that she sought It was only to get away. Slowly she slipped from her bed and drew on her clothes. Then, crawlTh up to the window, she looked up at the quiet stars Was there really a great pow der up there a something that could help? .Was God there? She waited a moment and her pale Hps moved si lently. Somehow her heart grew stronger, and she sprang lightly te the ground. ' A feeling of relief came to her. She was In Gods almighty hands now, and away from the power of those men. She felt as a frightened little Child does when it finds. its mother' arms. If death came It could .;. not make much difference to anyone; she was already dead to all who cared for her. ', Out In the swamp she would be alone with God and nature, and what happened there she could endure.

She thought that after a while if she kept able to walk and escaped the treach erous mud. that she would come to somebody or something sometime or other. Her plans were not more de finite than that. - .- The child's progress was necessarily very slow. Strong men hunters, de tectives, adventure-seekers, men hun gering for revenge, and men spurred on by the desire to win money, .had turned away from tliese swamp lands afraid to try their awful dangeri Jt was no wonder that the child moved slowly. Sometimes she Stood for an hour on one tussack of swamp gras trying to nerve herself for tho eprlng across the mud or water to the next sometimes she darted forward reck lessly when some great' snake colled beside her pathway. ,She walked for days beside ' impenetrable walls of vines, rattan and bramble, and many tnat snema not know. ' Great tangles of these rose up In front of her and ehe walked for miles around them. ' Sometimes she fell, and often the hungry mud caugltt her feet Often she cried desolately. Tout It Is against animal nature; to be still and die, so Tony ate what she cold find and press ed on. : . One night It rained and she climbed Into a cypress tree. At first she thought of cropchlng down under it. for the tree was tail and her hands and limbs were torn and cut by the thorns and briars, she had encounter ed. The limbs had been obliged t grow high to keep out of the under brush. i The land was not so swampy here. There was a perceptible change In the vegetation, and Tony hoped that; she might be coming to a piece of timber or to a farm. Even the nice old ladles who used to whisper solemnly of Tony's tom-boy propensities would have been glad now that she was able to climb the straight cypress tree! . She went up like a big grey squir rel and nestled down among the thick branches. Her clothes were much soiled and torn, but she clung to her Quaker bonnet for she knew the discomforts of traveling without anything on lier head, and it was her opinion that a head ; covering! com manded a certain degree of respect She carefully hung. the bonnet up, and composed herself to sleep. - The rain fell slowly about ner tree.

A high close fence made to keep cattle out of the swamp. It might be, and was, most likely, far irom any human abode, but men's hands had built it It was nearer the world of men and women' than she had been for a long time. So sho hurried to the fence and leaned on it, crying foolishly and laughing aloud In her Joy. . ' . . It bordered a low marshy road and farther on a stream crossed the road. The rough old rails were beautiful to her. They meant civilization and protection! 1 Her quick eyes caught sight of some moving object in the road. She crouched back among the bushes.
