As he struggled forward, impatient
at these delays, he came several
times upon narrow, unguarded roads
and crossed them; at other times the
little wilderness which protected him
changed suddenly to a well-kept lawn
where some great house with Its
garages and outbuildings loomed
ahead, and afraid to cross these open
places, he was obliged to retrace Ins
steps and find a way round. The dis
tance from the bridge to the place
where the men he was following had
got out of their motor, he had thought
to be about two miles; but when he
had been traveling more than an hour,
he had not yet reached it. Then,
suddenly he came upon the road for
which he was looking; somewhere to
the east along It was the place he
sought, lie crouched as near to the
road as he dared and where he could
look up and down it. This being a
main road, was guarded. A motor
car with armed men in it passed him,
and presently repassed, evidently pa
troling the road; its lights showed
him a man with a gun standing at the
first bend of the road to the east.
Katon drew further back and moved
parallel to the road but far enough
away from it to be hidden. A quarter
of a mile further he found a second
man. The . motorcar, evidently, was
patroling only to this point; another
car was on duty beyond this. As
Katon baited, this second car ap
proached, and Wits halted, backed
and turned.
Its headlights swept through the
woods jind revealed Eaton. The man
standing In the mad cried out the
alarm and tired at Eaton point blank;
he tired a second and third time.
Eaton fled madly back into the shad
ow ; as he did so, he heard the men
crying to one another and leaping
from the car ami following him. He
retreated to the woods, went further
along and came back to the road, ly
ing flat upon his face again and wait
ing till some other car in passing
should give him light to see.
Eaton,, weak and dizzy from his
wounds and confused by darkm ss and

He had found the

cars had so tracked

a car had turne

! the road that none of the men in the
motors seen-ed to have noticed any
thing of significance there; but Eaton
s;iw plainly in the soft ground at
I the edge of the woods the footmarks
I of two men walking one behind the
other. When the cr had passed, he
j crept forward In the dark and fingered
j the distinct heel and toe marks in
j the soft soil. For a little distance
he could follow them by feeling; then
as they led him into the edge of the
woods the ground grew harder and
he could no longer follow them in
that way.
It was plain to him what had oc
curred ; two men had got out of the
car here and had lifted out and car
ried away a third. He knelt where
he could feel the last footsteps he
could detect and looked around.
The wound in his shoulder no long
er bled, but the pain of it twinged
him through and through; his head
throbbed with the hurt there; his feet
were raw and bleeding where sharp
roots and branches had cut through
his socks and torn the flesh; his skin
was hot and dry with fever, and his
head swam.
There was not yet light enough to
see any distance, but Eaton, accus
tomed to the darkness and bending
close to the ground, could discern the
footmarks even on the harder soil.
They led away from the road into
the woods. On the rotted leaves and
twigs was a dark stain ; a few steps
beyond there was another. Eaton
picking up a leaf and fingering it.
knew that they were blood. So the
man was not dead when he had been
lifted from the car. Hut he had been
hurt desperately, was unable to help
himself, was probably dying; If there
had been any hope for him, his com
panions would not be carrying him
In this way away from any cnance. of
surgical attention.
Eaton followed, as the tracks led
through the woods. The men had
o Tl

gone very slowly, carrying this heavy
weight. They had stopped frequently
to rest and had laid their burden
down. Then suddenly he came to a
place where plainly a longer halt had
been made.
The ground was trampled around
this spot ; when the tracks went on
they were changed In character. The
two men were still carrying the third
a heavy man whose weight strained
them and made their feet sink in
deeply , where the ground was soft.
Hut now they were not careful how
they carried him, but went forward
merely as though bearing a ieart
weight. Now, too, no more stains ap
peared on the brown leaves where
they had passed; their burden no
longer bled. Eaton, realizing what
this meant, felt neither exultation
nor surprise. He had known that the
man they carried, though evidently
alive when taken from the car, was
dying. But now he watched the tracks
more closely even than before, look
ing for them to show him where the
men had got rid of their burden.
It was quite plain what had oc
curred ; the wet sand below was tram
pled by the feet of three or four men
and cut by a boat's bow. They had
taken the body away with them in the
boat. To sink It somewhere weighted
with heavy stones in the deep water?
Eaton's search was hopeless now.
ut it could not be so; it must not
be so ! Eaton's eyes searched fever
ishly the shore and the lake. Rut
there was nothing In sight upon either.
He crept back from the edge of the
bluft, hiding beside a fallen log
banked with dead leaves. What was
It he had said to Harriet? "I will
come back to you as you have never
known me before I" He rehearsed the
words in mockery. How would he re
turn to her now? As he moved, a
fierce, hot pain from the clotted wound
in his shoulder shot him through and
through with agony" and the silence
ami darkness of unconsciousness over
whelmed hitn.

at her's

that her -recognit ion of the pie
had satisfied -him In regard to
something over which he had seen In
doubt; but whether tbis'was to work
in favor of Hugh and herself she
thought of herself now inseparably
with Hugh or whether it threatened
them, she could not tell.
"father, what does this mean?" she
cried to him.
"What, dear?"
"Your having the picture. Where
did you get it?"
"I knew where it might be. I sent
for it."
"Hut bur, Father " It came to
her now that her father must know
who Hugh was. "Who "
"I know who he is now," her fa
ther said calmly. "I will tell you when
I can."
"When you can?"
"Yes," he said. "Where is Avery?"
as though his mind had gone to an
other subject instantly.
"He has not been in, I believe, since
noon."
"He is overseeing the search for
Eaton?"
"Yes."
"Send for him. Tell him I wish to
see him here at the house; he Is to
remain within the house until I have
seen him."
Something in her father's tone
startled and perplexed her; she
thought of Donald now only as the
most eager and most vindictive of
Eaton's pursuers!. W'np her father
removing Donald from among those
seeking Eaton? Was he sending for
him because what he had just learned
was something which would make
more rigorous ' and desperate 'the
search? The blind man's look and
manner told her nothing.
"Y'ou mean Donald is to wait here
until you send for him, Father?"
"That is It."
It was the blind man's tone of dis
missal. He seemed to have forgotten
the picture; at least, as his daughter
moved toward the door, he gave no
direction concerning it. She halted,
looking back at him. She would not
carry the picture away, secretly, like
this. She was not ashamed of her
love for-Eaton ; whatever might be said

or thought of him, she trusted him ;
sh$ was proud of her love for him.
"May I take the picture?" she asked
steadily.
"Do whatever you want with It,"
her father answered quietly.
And so she took It with her. She
found a servant of whom she inquired
for Avery; he had not returned so
she sent for him. She went down to
the deserted library and waited there
with the picture of Hugh In her hand.
The 'day had draw n to dusk. She
could no longer see the picture In the
fading light; she could only recall It;
and now, as she recalled it, the pic
ture itself not her memory of her
father's manner in relation to It
gave her vague discomfort. She got
up suddenly, switched on the light
and, holding the picture close to it,
studied it. What it was in the pic
ture that gave her this strange un
easiness quite separate and distinct
from all that she had felt when she
first looked at It, she could not tell;
but the more she studied It, the more
troubled and frightened she grew.
The picture was a plain, unre
touched print pasted upon common
square cardboard without photogra
pher's emboss or signature; and
printed with the picture, were four
plain, distinct numerals S'Jo,'. She
did not know what they meant or if
they had any real significance, but
somehow now she was more afraid
for Hugh than she had been. She
trembled as she held the picture again
to her cheek and then to her lips.
She turned; some one had come in
from the hall; It was Donald. She
saw at her first glance at him that his
search had not yet succeeded and she
threw her head back in relief. See
ing the light, he had looked into the
library idly; but yyhon he saw her,
he approached her quickly.
"What have you there?" he demand
ed of her.
She flushed at the tone. "What
right have you to ask?" Her Instant

ture, but that would make if seem she

"What do you mean, Don?"
He put the picture down on the
table beside him and, as she rushed
for it, he seized both her hands and
hold her before him. "Harry, dear.'"
he said to her. "Harry, dear "
"Don't call me that! Don't speak
to me that way 1" She struggled to
free herself from him.
"I know, of course," ho said. "It's

toward the picture on the table; the
manner made her furious.
"Let me go, Don '."
"I'm sorry, dear." lie drew Ivor to
him, held her only closer.
"Don ; Father wants to see you ! He
wanted to know when he came in; he

"Donald, I am not a child. If you

She heard a sound behind her and
turned. Her father had come into
the room. And as she saw his man

Avery had just told her was the truth
She shrank away from them. Her
hands went to her face and hid It.

she erie.t quietly. "It isn't so!''
The hlinu man was very pale; he
was fully dressed. A servant hud sup
ported him and helped him down the
stairs and still stood beside h;ni sus
taininp him. I'ut the will which had
o. implored his disability of blindness
was holding him firmly now airuinst
the disability of his hurts; he seemed
composed and steady. She saw com
passion for her In his look; and com
passion under the present circum
stances terrified her. Stronger, far
more in control of him than his com
passion for her, she saw purpose. She
recognized that her father had come
to a decision upon which he now was
goinp to act ; she knew that nothing
she or anyone else could say would
alter that decision and that he would
employ his every power In acting
upon it.
The blind man seemed to check him
self an instant In the carrying out of
his purpose; he turned his sightless
eyes toward her. There was emotion
in his look; but, except that this emo
tion was In pant pity for her, she
could not tell exactly what his look
expressed.
"Will you wait for me outside, Har
riet?" he said to her. "I shall not be
long."
She hesitated; then she felt sud
denly the futility of opposing him and
She passed him and went out into the
hall. The servant followed her, clos
ing the door behind him. She stood
just outside the door listening. She
heard her father- she could catch the
tone; she could not make out the
words asking a question ; she beard
the sound of Avery's response. She
started bnck nearer the door and put
her hand on It to open It ; Inside they
were still talking. She caught Avery's
tone more clearly now, and it sudden
ly terrified her. She drew back from
the door and shrank away. There had
been no opposition to Avery In her
father's tone; she was certain now
that he was only discussing
Avery what they were to do.
