Messrs (leort'e W'adsworth and V. 11. Twitty who recently purchased spencer Mountain from (laston coun ty owners will ( onie to some decision tiiis week as to the disposition or the tract whjih embraces about I acres. They at present have in mind the establishment of one of two de velopments, either an extensive rock cjtiarry or an elaborate automobile club house. The former Is admitted to he the most probable and plausi ble. Spencer Mountain presents a view from the east of an enormous boul der and nothing more The scene from the west side is much more satisfactory to the aesthetic sense. The bbakness of the east side is overcome by the beauty of the wood land scene on the west approach and in the event that it is finally decided to establish a road-house, it will tie located and appioai hed from that Bide of the mountain. For business purposes. however, the mountain is believed to be a ver itable mine for the establishment of a ro k quarry on an elaborate scale. The supply of i o. k suitable for crushiiiL' purposes is unlimited and the i not inn of supply would only be Jtovenii d h 'lie d. and It is pro posed, if. indeed, it is finally deter mined to li'i'e disposition or the pi oi'crt y . to j, i,t in mM, h iiicrv that would turn out a supplv of rock far greater than the frodin 'ion or any similar plant in this part of ttie country.

I was unconscious, yet not for long. The first touch of water served to re vive me, and I became aware that an arm supported my head, although everything was indistinct before my eyes. "More water, Mike," said a voice close at hand. "Yes, that will do. Where is Farrell? Oh, Dan, this Is Major Lawrence." "One of the Dragoons said he was in command. Hurt badly?" "No, I think not; but utterly ex hausted, and weak from loss of blood. They put up a game fight." "Only three on their feet when we got in. Hullo, Lawrence, getting back to the worid, lad?" "Yes," I managed to answer, feeling strength enough to lift myself, and vaguely noticing his features. "Is that you, Farrell?" "It certainly is," cheerfully. "Duval has his arm about you, and the Cam den boys are herding those devits down below. You had some fracas from the way things look. How many men had you?" I rubbed my head, endeavoring to recollect, staring down into the hall. It was filled with dead and wounded men, and at the foot of the stairs was a pile of bodies. "Twelve, altogether," I replied final ly. "They they were too many for us." "Threo to one, or more, I should Judge. We got here Just in time." I was up now, looking Into their faces, slowly grasping the situation. "Yes," I said, Reeling the necessity of knowing, "ifow did it happen? What brought you? Washington " "All natural enough. Clinton got away night before last with what was lft of his army. Left fires burning, and made a forced march to the ships at Sandy Hook. Left everything to save his troops. Washington, realis ing, the URelessness of holding them longer, sent most of his militia home. About six miles out there on the pike road a half-crazy preacher named Jenks came up With us. Hs was too badly frightened to tell a straight r.Wllt OF THANKS.

"But Farrell, the girl! Do yxm know anything about the girl?" "What girl? Do you mean Clair Mortimer? Is she here?" "Yes, her father is lying helplessly wounded up stairs, and she must be with him. Eric is somewhere in the hall, either dead or wounded. I Baw him fall Just as we retreated to the stairs." Farrell leaned over fcind called to some one below. "Not yet, sir," was the answer. "Well, hunt for him. Now, we'll go up and find Claire. Major, can you climb the rest of the stairs? Help him, Duval." I experienced no great difficulty, my strength coming back rapidly. There was a wounded Dragoon leaning against tbe wall, and half-way down the hall lay another body, face down. Without doubt this was the guard Fa gin had stationed there. Duval paused to help the wounded man, but Farrell and I moved on across the dead guard to the open door beyond. Colonel Mortimer, unable to move, was propped up on his pillow, one hand grasping a pistol. With shaking arm he levelled it at us. "Who are you? Quick, now!" he quavered. "I've shot one, and I'm good (or more." "You know me. Colonel," and Far rell btepped inside. "I am 'Bull' Far rell; this is Major Lawrence." He looked at us with dull eyes, his hand falling weakly. "Farrell Farrell surely, the black smith. What Lawrence? The the of ficer Claire knows?" "Yes; he's a rough-looking object I admit, hut there has ben a tight down below, sir, in which he had a share. We've just cleaned out Red Fa glu's gang. We came up here to tell the good news to you and your daugh ter." The Colonel's head sank back upon the mussed pillow. "My daughter Claire she is not here." "Not here!" I cried, aroused by the admission. "Did she not return to you?" "No; they came for her to go down stairs a tall man with a black beard, and two others. They took hor away an hour ago, and I have seen nothing of her since. I heard the shots, the sound of tierce fighting, but could not move from the bed. Tell me, Major, what has become of my little girl?" "I do not know," I confessed, gaz ing about In bewilderment. "She came up the stairs, I am sure. It was just as the fight began, and I had scarce ly a moment to observe anything be fore we were at It fiercely. She shot Fagin down, and then ran." "Shot Fagin! Claire!" "Yes; she wus justified. Had she not acted so quickly I would have done so myself. He was forcing her into marriage." "Into marriage! With whom?" "Captain Grant," I answered pas sionately. "It was a deliberate plot, although he pretended to be innocent, and a helpless prisoner. Later the man fought with the outlaws against us; after Jones was killed he even as sumed command." "He has been hand and glove with those fellows from the first, Colonel," chimed In Farrell hoarsely. "I've known it, and told Lawrence so a month ago. I only hope he was killed down below. But what cae have be come of Claire?" "She never passed along here," in sisted Mortimer, "for I haven't taken my eyes from that door." "Then she is hiding somewhere in those front rooms. Come on, Law rence, and we'll search them." We went out hurriedly, leaving the wounded man lying helplessly on the bed, and stepped carelessly across the dead sentinel lying in the hallway. The memory of Peter recurred to me. He was not the kind to desert his mis tress at such a time. Stopping Far rell, I stepped back to inquire. The Colonel opened his eyes wearily at sound of my voice. "He Is not here," he explained slow ly. "Both Peter and Tonepah were sent away to find a surgeon, and have not returned. We anticipated no dan ger here with Captain Grant present." I ground my teeth savagely togeth er, recalling the treachery of the lat ter, his insults to Claire, bis deceiv ing of Eric, his stealing of papers, hoping thus to ruin his own Colonel, his alliance with Fagin, hts Belling of British secrets. Here was a villain through and through and I hoped he had already paid the penalty. If not, I vowed the man should never escape. But the thought of the miseing girl came back, driving all else from my mind. She was In none of those rooms we searched, nor did we discover the slightest evfdence of her having been there. As I stood in the door of the deserted music-room staring helpless ly about, a sudden possibility occurred to me. Ay! that must be the truth, the full explanation of her vanishing. She had come flying up the stairs, frightened, despefate so far as she knew, alone against Fagin's unscrupu lous" band. She had not returned to her father, or escaped by way of the halL Where then could she -have gone? Tbe secret staircase, down which she bad hurried me, and which was known only to herself, Eric and Peter. I gripped Fa rrell's arm eagerly. "You know this house wll did yoa ever hear'of secret passages in ItV 1 have heard it whispered In gos sip," he answered, "that such were here In the old Infllan days. Why?" . "Because itr Is true. The girl hid aae here from Grant. And that Is where we will find her. The opening U uer by the false chimney, bat I have no conception of how It works; she made me turn my back while the operated the mechanism." He stooped down, and began serrch along the fireplace, and I joined him. Together our hands felt over every Inch of surface. There was no re sponse, not even a crack to guide us. At last he glanoed aside, and our eyes met. "Who knew of this beside Claire?" he asked. "Eric and the servant Swanson. She told me she and her brother dlscov ered it by accident through reading an old memoranda." "And the colonel la not aware of Its existence?" "I understand not. Do you know If the boy lives?" He left the room, and I heard his voice calling down the stairs, but did not distinguish the words of reply. I was still on my knees when he re turned. "He Is alive, but unconscious, Law rence. Do you consider it impossible for her to escape from here alone, pn vlding she took refuge in this place?" "I could find no opening, except un derground, and that is blocked now." I shuddered at the thought. "Besides, she must be in utter darkness, for I used all the candles." "Then we must get axes, and cvt our way In. Walt here, and I will bring up some of the men." I straightened up as be left the room, and my eyes looked into a Email mirror above the open grate. Good Heavens! Could that be my re flection! Bareheaded, my face streaked with blood and dirt, my coat rags, my shirt ripped to the waist. I scarcely looked human. In sudden burst of anger 1 reached out and gripped the mirror, jerking it savagely. Then I sprang back. Slowly, with a faint click of the mechanism, the mantel piece was swinging open.
