Ned Cornet, Lenore Hardenworth
I and Beas Gilbert take refuge to
( gather on an island when they are

be married to Ned. They find the
1 Island Inhabited by a man named
; Doomsdorf and his Indian wife,
i Dooinsdorf takes Ned and the

I Ned slave for him. Lenore Is al
§ lowed to help the squaw with the
\ housework, but Bess and Ned are

| The prisoners are allowed to build

i row escapes from death. Together
= they plan how to escape from the
| island. When Doomsdorf becomes
I Infatuated with Bess and makes ad
! vances to her Ned interferes.
! NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
“There’s no need of going far
[ ther,’’ he said in his deep, rumbling
I voice. “There was no need of even
| coming here. You seem to be for
\ getting, you two, where you ure—ail
I the things I told you at first.’!
He paused, and his voice had
| dropped, and the tone was strange
[ and even, dreadful to hear, when he
| spoke
[ too easy with you,” he went on. “I’ll
j see that I correct that fault in the
I future. You, Ned, made a serious
j mistake when you Interfered in this
j matter tonight. I*ll see if 1 can't
| teach you to ke«jo your place. And
| Bess —long ago I told you that your
j body and soul were mine—to do with
j what I liked. Yqu seemed to have
forgotten—but I intend that you will
call It to mind—again.”
But Ned still faced him when he
[ paused, eyes steadfast, his face an
j Iron gray in the wan light. His train
| lng had been hard and true, and he
1 still found strength to stand erect.
“I want to tell you this—in reply,”
j he answered in the clear, firm voice
[ of one who has mastered fear. “We
j know well enough what you can do
to us. But that doesn’t mean that
[ we’re going to yield to you—to every
I one of your evil wishes. Life Isn't
so pleasant to either of us that we’ll
submit to everything in order to live.
| No matter what you do to mo—l
I know what I’U do to you If you try
| to carry out your wicked [designs by
! force.”
Doomsdorf eyed him calmly, but
the smile of contempt was wholly
gone from his lips. ’’You’ll show
fight?” he asked.
"With every ounce I’ve got! You
I may master me—with every advan-
I tage of weapons and physical
| strength—but you’ll have to kill me
first. Bess will kill herself before
she’ll yield to you. A'ou won’t be bet
ter off—you’ll simply have no one to
j do your trapping for you. It isn't
worth it. Doomsdorf.”
; He eyed them a moment, coolly and
casually. When I want anything,
Ned, I want It bad enough to pay all,
I ve got for it,” he said in a remark
ably even tone. “Don’t presume that
I value your lives so much that I’ll
turn ope step from my course. Be
sides, Ned—you won’t be here!”
Ned’s eyes widened, as he tried to
read his meaning. Doomsdorf
laughed softly in the silence. “You
won’t be here!” he repeated. “You
fool—do you think I’d let you get In
my way? It will rest as it is to
night. Tomorrow morning you start
out to lend your traps—and you wijl
tend Bess’ lines as well as your own.
She will stay here—with me—from
now on.”
Ned felt his muscles hardening to
steel. “I won’t leave her to you—”
You won’t? Don’t make any mis
take on that point. If you are not
on your way by sun-up, you get a
hundred —from the knout. You
won’t be able to leave for some time
after tha^ —but neither will you be
able to interfere with what doesn't
concern you. I’ll give you a few In
the dawn—just as a sample to show
what they’re like. Nor am I afraid
of Bess killing herself. It’s cold and
dark here, but it’s colder and darker
THE CONCORD TIMES
SOUTHERN MILLS ARE
NOW IN BETTER HEART
Most of Them Bought Ctton Before it
Reached 30 Cents. Piling Up Yarn
and Cloth.
Charlotte. Nov. 11. —The advance in
the price of cotton during the past
week, with the resulting enlivenment of
the demand for eotton goods and the
greater assurance of a higher level and
more* certain demands for yarns and
cloths, has forestalled a curtailment
program in a large number of southern
cotton mills and has brought encourage
ment and hope to quite a number of
cotton "mrl operators who were begin
ning to be decidedly uncomfortable un
der an accumulation of cloth and yarn
manufactured from high priced cotton
and unsalable except at a loss on the
levels Vhieh have been existing for
these products.
Southern cotton mill men. as a gen
eral thing, purchased considerable sup
plies of cotton several months ago when
the price was around 2N cents- They
though that price would he maintained
and most of them expected that it would
be higher. Then came the slump. Not
only in the price of cotton but also, of
course, in tin* price of'cotton products.
Buyers of cloth have Jjeen bears on the
situation aud the demand for mill pro
ducts has been exceedingly low for the
past three months or more.
The advance in the price of cotton
some weeks ago gave heart to the
southern mill operators and. feeling
further assured that cotton would con
tinued to operate full time, piling up
their yarn or cloth in their warehouses
until the prices of these products readi
ed such a level as would warrant them
in selling. Meanwhile New England
ini'ls have curtailed drastically, hoping
for aud expecting a <h*cline in cotton
prices that would enable them to sell
at the old level of prices prevailing for
textile products.

“That’s definite?” Ned ’asked.

, “And believe me. I won't go back
I on mine. If that’s all you have to

j “That’s quite all. Think it over
, —you’ll find It isn’t so bod. And
now—good night.”
. He bowed to them, in mock polite
. ness. Then he turned back into his
cabin.
, For a moment his two prisoners
i stood inert, utterly motionless in the
wan light. Ned started .tty turn to
, her, still held by his own dark
thoughts, but at the first glance of
. her white, set face, he whirled in the
• most breathless amazement It was
in no way the stricken, terrified
countenance that he had seen a few
! moments before. The Ups were firm,
the eyes deep and strange; even in
the half-light he could see her look
, of inexorable purpose.

He reached groping hands to hers.
“A'ou don't mean"—he gasped, hard
ly able to make his lips move in
speech—"you don’t Intend—?’’
“To kill myself? Not yet, by a
* long way.” The girl’s hand slipped
cautiously out from the pocket of her
jacket, showing him what seemed to
be a small, square box of tin. But
the light was too dim for him to
make out the words on the paper

almost without exception are confident 1
that that price of cotton will not go
lower for a year or more. They are more
hopeful of dividends on their operations
than they have been for months. Their
optimism is shared by business men
generally because the absence of the cot
ton mill payroll during periods of cur
tailment or strikes hits business in all
lines a staggering blow. Even the small
business man has recently come into
a pretty thorough appreciation of the
fact that any distiess or disruption in
industry or in agriculture affects the
welfare of every other man in the com- •
munity, particularly the merchant.
Use of Migratory Birds as Food Barred !
By Law.
Washington, Nov. 5. —Hotels restau
rants and other eating places may not
serve wild ducks or geese, or other migra
tory edible birds for food, the Depart
ment of Agriculture announces. The mi
gratory bird treaty act and regulations
make it unlawful to buy or sell such
birds, except under proper permits for
scientific or propagating purpo**‘ s -
Migratqry water fowl raised in captiv
ity under proper federal and state per
mits may be bought aud sold and served
n hotels and restaurants, but this does
lot apply to wild birds. The serving of
wild birds with meals in hotels, restau
rants and other places is unlawful if a
price is charged for the meal, and the
law cannot be avoided under a pretense
hat no charge is being made for the
wild birds, the department states.

defeated at the otitset it they at*
tempted to master Doomsdorf in the =§
squaw’s presence.
The plan, on perfection, was really jg
very simple. As soon as Lenore g
came, she would be sent back to the 5
cabin to bring Doomsdorf. She
would need no further excuse than 1
that Bess had asked to see him: |
Ned’s knowledge of the brute’s pay* I
chology told him that.
Ned would be waiting in the a
newer cabin when Lenore and |
Doomsdorf returned. He would im- I
' mediately excuse himself and pass S
out the door, at the same instant §1
that Bess extended a chair for a
I>oomsdorf. And the instant that he
"us seated Bess would dash a hand*' S
ful of the blinding snuff into his
eyes. _
Ned’s axe leaned Just without the 9
. cabin door. Doomsdorf would notice j|
it as he went in: otherwise his suspi- a
cions might be aroused. And in his §|
first instant of agony and blindness, 3
Ned would seize the weapon, dash §
back through the door, and make gs
tile assault.
i They had scarcely perfected the a
, plan before Lenote appeared, on the 9
way to her .cot. Just an instant she m
halted, her face and golden head a J 5
, glory in the soft light, as she regard* a
ed their glittering eyes.
Ned moved toward her, reaching
for her hands. For u breath he ja
gazed into her lovely face. “Bees if
wants you to go—and tell Dooms* |1
dorf —to come here,” he told her. His 1|
voice was wholly steady, every word §
clearly enunciated; if anything, *he M
spoke somewhat more softly and If
evenly than usual. “Just tell him g|
that she wants to see him.” 3.
She took her eyes from his, glanc* a
ing about with ucmiei.aka.ble appro* g
hens ton. St
Her searching eyes suddenly 3
turned in fascinated horror to Bess. P
Standing near the so that
the room might not be filled with f§
the dust of the snuff and thus con* p
vey a warning to Doomsdorf, she p
was emptying the contents of tbs ||'
snuff-box into her handkerchief. Her 3.
eyes gleamed under fieri brows, and H
her hands were wholly steady. 1§
Lenpre shivered a little, her hands 3
pressing Ned’s.
“What does it mean— V’
"Liberty! That’s what it means, if 3
the plan goes through.” For the ||
first time Ned’s voice revealed sup* 9
pressed emotion. Liberty! He spoke a
tiie word as a devout man speaks of §§
(lod. “It’s the only chance—now or |>
never,” he went on with perfect cold- |§'
ness. “You’ve got to hold up and do §|
your share—l know you can. If we 11
succeed — and we’ve got every chance 9
—it’s freedom, escape from thfa 3
island and Doomsdorf. If we fail, {3
it's likely death—but death couldn’t m
be any worse than this. So we’ve 3
nothing to lose —and everything to f§
gain.” H
by their ardor Lenore 4g
turned back through the door.
Her instructions were simple. The a
easiest task of the three was hers. 9
Bess took one of the crude chairs, §
her handkerchief—clutched as if she I
had been weeping—in her iap. Ned j
sat down in one of the other chairs,
intending to arise and excuse him
self the instant Doomsdorf appeared.
His muscles burned under his skin.
It was only about 50 yards to the
cabin. If Doomsdorf came at all, it
would be in the space of a few sec*
onds.
The door of the cabin closed be
hind her, and Lenore wias alone with
the night.
Could she take the fighting chan os? 5.
Could she rise above this awful first 8
fear: master it, scorn it, go her brave 9
way in the face of it? !§
But before ever she found her an- §j
swer. she found herself at the cabla f|
door. Listless, terrified almost to 9
the verge of collapse, she tarred thv a
knob and opened the door. Dooms* S
dorf had not yet gone to his blan* |
kets: otherwise the great bolt of Irtm I
would be in piace. He was still tit- f
ting before the greet,' glowing sieve, |.
dreaming his savage dreams. The L
girl halted before him, lesmisg V
