There was nothing else to do. lie was still floundering about on the inner margin of the pool be hind the falls when the IVarlhunter landed lightly beside him, almost up on him. The passage was dark dark as tht Inside of a pistol barrel. It was a very reassuring fact. It meant that there was no candle burning far ther ahead In the cave. He was In time. Slaking sure of that very Im portant fact, he thrust the revolver into the holster pocket at his hip. grasped the sheriff by the collar and hurried up the pussagf. Dy the same subtle Instinct that had served him the night before, he knew when he reached the point at which the passage widened into the cave. There he loosed the sheriff's collar and struck a match. The sheriff caught his breath and stared. The horse, the candle in the cranny, the saddle and spurs, the feed all just as It had been described to him. "I never knew there was anything like this under Fallen Hock." "You're probably the third man that ever did know It. Pick your steps across those slivers of shale there and get into that pocket behind the hay. Hurry ! We mustn't show much light. He's due any minute." The one match served. So urgently did the IVarlhunter consider the need of haste that before It was gone they were crowded well back In the pocket behind the bay. "The instant you're convinced I'm not the lied Mask, nudge me, and I'll give your revolver buck. And I needn't tell you that when the time comes to act, we've got to act quick." The two men had stoocl In the pock et for what must have been half an hour, and the throb of the IVarlhunt er's wound was becoming almost un bearable, when the horse grew sud denly quiet. The Pearlhunter sank low In the cover and pulled the sheriff down beside him. A match scraped; a sputtering flame hunted the candle In the cranny; the cave, the horse, the Jaunty form of the man they await ed sprang out of the dark. lie came straight to the horse; the one friend absolutely true to him In all his dangerous world; the one friend who still regarded him as a gentleman. The horse reached out his nose to meet hlra ; rubbed his shoulder with his head. A moment the man gave- to the caress, Oaen hurried to the corn sack, laid three ears upon the rock, and turned to the hay. Now was the critical Instant. If they escaped his glance now I But he was totally unsuspecting. Without raising his eyes as far as the pocket, he grabbed up a handful or two of the brightest straws and turned back to the horse. "Short rations tonight, Rocket; and I'll make your toilet while you eat." He took down from near where the paddle hung a curry comb and brush from another of the numerous cran nies of the cave and proceeded, with surprising skill and quickness, to groom the horse. The task completed, he laid back the brush and curry comb, and, lifting the feet of the horse, examined them one by one, nail by nail, afterward running his hands down the horse's limbs and lingering over each Joint, finally summing up the Inspection by listening with no little cure to the animal's breathing. It was the work of a master. The In spection over, he took the saddle down from the wall, threw It on the horse, drew the girths, hung the bridle on the horn, unstrapped his spurs from the back of the saddle and buckled them to his heels. "I wish I knew," he muttered, half to himself, apparently half to his dumb companion, as he waited for the animal to finish his. supper, "whether that Pearlhunter has left. It looks like he had. And yet, that's not like his breed to cut out. Still, there's always a chance." He seemed to meditate: flung up his head with a bitter grimace and a toss of his hand. "Chancel" he growled. "What's life without Its chancel Life! Huh I A game of chance with the cards stacked, and the devil's deal I Rocket, you'll carry double tonight. Yellow curls, eyes like bluebells and ankles I But high headed she came dev ilish nigh Rhootin' me this afternoon! But the harder to tame, the better worth tamin'." The Pearlhunter was writhing back In the pocket, his face like the rock he crouched against; but the sheriff hadn't nudged him. The Red Mask locked down at the fast dlsapiearing provender before the horse, walked back and forth across the cave a time or two, turned and stood for a moment or two fum bling behind the oak root where It had been tied. "That sheriff." He straightened, threw up his head and laughed boister ously. "He couldn't find a lost ele phant, let alone a wonderful, wee lit tle drop of distilled witchery like this." Krom the dry elsy and shale hack f the oak root he had dran forth a Mill rin With the word "this" "By MVB ho blew the dust off, and pushed In the catch. The lid Hipped up. On the tiny cushion lay the Blue Moon twinkling In the candle-light, not un like the princess that waked up In the cave of the dragon. , At last came Ihe sheriffs nudge. The Pearlhunter quietly passed his re volver over. There couldn't have been a sound In the act louder than the drawing of a breath, but somehow It must have reached the man by the horse. There came a change over his face a change so slight ns to be as good as Imperceptible; to be felt rather than seen. Had he so much as glanced toward the pocket back of the hay, the IVarlhunter would have ncid on the Instant. But he didn't plant that way. Very leisurely he closed the box, put It In his vest pocket and looked down to see If the horse had finished his supper. The Pearlhunter was In the act of pressing against the knee of the sheriff In sign that the time had come, when, totally without a warning sound, with out the slightest preliminary motion, there came a shot from behind the horse that dashed the candle out. The shot was followed by a scuffle of feet. The Pearlhunter leaped the hay and charged through the dense dark straight at the horse. It wasn't there. From the passage came the clatter of hoofs. Followed by the stumbling sheriff, he groped his way to the mouth of the passage. He was barely In time to hear a splash, and the click of steel upon the rocks of the pool. CHAPTER XIV. Man to Man and an Even Draw. The candle lingered long that night In the cabin of the three gables. The old man was more than usually rest less. The girl hovered about his chair constantly. She succeeded at last In coaxing him down In his chair, where he sat groaning; mumbling In his beard; and whetting the knife on the palm of his hand. She had smoothed the cushions behind his head and The Merciless Arm Struck Again and Again. stood stroking his face with her hand, when, without the least warning, the door flew open, and, sharply outlined against the dark background of the night, a man with a red mask over his face stalked across the threshold. He was, of course quite unaware that the girl already knew his Identity. That probably explained why he had put on the mask. It would be Impos sible to describe the startling trans formation It wrought on his sinister face. From out .of all Its many ter rors the night could not have selected a more appalling one to fling Into the cabin. The girl screamed and clung about the old man In the chair. Her scream seemed to rouse him. He glanced up. rubbed his wide, pitiful eyes. and. with a wild cry more that of beast than man sprang from the chair with a strength that sent the girl reeling. Ills sleeping senses seemed to wake, to recognize the object for which his ghostly eyes had searched the woods for weary years a bit of red cloth with a certain face behind It. His giant frame seemed to swell with a strength tremendous. He raised the knife and leaped toward the intruder. A giant's strength, but with the dis ordered unwieldlness of a stricken mind. The knife barely grazed where It was meant to kill. Before the gray giant could recover his ponderous strength to strike again, the Red Mask had him by the wrist, and, seemingly unwilling to risk the sound of a shot, was raining blows upon his head with the butt of his heavy revolver. It was a horrible thing to see. The girl stood with laced fingers, helpless with hor ror. The first blow brought the blood streaming out over the white hair and disabled the- old man so frightfully that he ceased the struggle and stood quivering. But tke merciless anqi AfVEHSOf struck again and agu.In until the vast frame drooped, shrank together, the knife fell from his lingers, his knees gave way and he sank groaning to the floor writhed, straightened and lay still. The revolver was foul with blood and gray hair. The murderer noticed It, hastily wiped It auvy on a corner of the fallen man's coat, thrust It back into his pocket and raced the girl. The spell was broken. She started as If from a nightmare and sprang back of the chair. Like a man pressed for time, he dashed after her. With the chair between them, she managed for a bare moment to keep be.ond his hands. He kicked the chair out of the way. She darted toward ihe kitchen door, probably with the hope of escaping to-1 the woods, but he was too close to her. She whirled toward the door of the bedroom. The turn was fatal. Ills hands reached W and drove her back Into the corner of the room at the head of the couch. She fought as only a womau fights for a stake infinitely higher than life itself. Since time began the earth has staged that struggle. Her dress was torn, her body bruised, her hands gradually driven together behind her back ; a hot wild face near her own. A step creaked the plank at the door. Her assailant whirled at the sound and she sank panting against the wall. Just Inside the door, his body crouched forward, his lips tight drawn, stood the tall form of the IVarlhunt er. Things happened so fast In the next Instant that words are too slow to keep v.p with them. It was man to man. and an even draw. The two shots came so close together that the hills out through the open door caught but one echo. But the shot from the door struck first a scant little mite of an instant first and jarred the aim of the other a trifle high. The shot from the corner merely clipped a bandage at the top of he IVarlhunter's shoul der, drew a little welt on the skin, and whistled harmlessly away Into Ihe night. The bullet from the door evi dently found the core of the target. The Red Mask bent backward. The revolver dropped to his side. He tried to raise It again; seemed surprised that he couldn't. He laughed oddly, and swore; stared round toward the girl; gasped and choked. The revolver slipped from his fingers. He groped with his hands, as If searching the air for It; staggered, caught himself, tottered, pitched heavily to the floor. The girl edged out of the corner past his body and threw herself upon the form of the old man. The Pearl hunter eased down the hammer of his revolver, thrust It back into his pock et, and stooped beside her. At the touch of his hand, she raised her head and knelt stroking the still face and crying softly. The Pearlhunter opened the old man's coat and felt over his heart. "He's alive!" She laid her face down close and spoke his name the only name she knew. There was no response. "Help me lift hlra to the couch," the man said. They had the old man on the couch, and the girl had run for water, when the sheriff, who had been far out stripped by the younger man, dashed Into the cabin. All three worked over him. The Tearlhunter chafed one wrist, the sheriff the other, while the girl bathed his face, washed the blood out of his hair, and strove to staunch Its flow by binding up his head In cold cloths. Suddenly, without any warning signs of returning consciousness, the old man plucked his hand away from the Pearlhunter and rubbed It over his face. His eyes came open, but they were not the same eyes. And his face was free from twitching. The girl stared down upon him In wonder. The Pearlhunter stooped low and marveled at the startling transformation, Nei ther knew, nor even suspected, until the doctor explained It days later, that the blows of the revolver butt had loosened the tiny bit of skull that had so long shackled his brain loosened It at the expense of a far worse hurt, but undoubtedly loosened It They only knew that the eyes were free from the vacant stare; that his face was calm with the light of reason. He felt again over his face, seemed astonished at the beard. His eyes calmly gazed up at the girl and stud led her a long time. "You couldn't be Dotty?" His voice was queer, hollow, quaver ing, like some sound from another world, so long had It gone unused. "Oh. Daddy!" She threw her arms around him and dropped her head on his breast. He sat stroking her hair, finally raised her. looked hard at her, rubbed his eyes and looked again. "You must be Dotty. But you've changed so since morning." The girl seemed unable to tell him. She strove for words, but none came. The Pearlhunter drew nearer. "You've been sick a long time, sir," he said. "Seven years. And you're Just getting well again." The puzzled eyes, suddenly wakened Into a world new and strange, turned toward hi CopyriKht by the Bobbe-Merrill Company "I haven't the pleasure of your ac quaintance," he said with the ptaMj politeness of a day long gone. Maj I uskr "I'm I'm " He hesitated, flushed. The girl calm again, came to the rescue. "lie's the IVarlhunter, Daddy. He'? been good to me since you've beeu sick." The old man reached out his hand It seemed heavy for him. The Pearl hunter grasped It. He was startled to find It cold. lie glanced hnvtily into the old man's face. A pyllor wa spreading over It tliat was mmistnk able the momentary return to con sciousness was but the gleam that, at the end of a gray day, sometimes flares out between sundown and dark, lit said nothing of It to the girl, who was happily busy again with th water an) bandages. The sheriff had left the couch and was squatted over the body of the fallen bandit. The Pearlhunter hap pened to glance that way. The sherifl beckoned to him. "This feller ain't dead yet," he sabi when the Pearlhunter had joined him. .The young man stooped over the sprawled robber. He v still breath ing. 'JIe don't deserve It," Hie sn.rlft went on, "but it's ouly common cency to get him up." He ppt Ids arm under the maa and raised hjm, while the Penrlbuntei brought adamp cloth from the basin by the couch, and wiped his face. The touch of titers cold doth' rallied him. "WMer!" he mumbled, husky and strained. v The girl had tnrned and was looking on. She ran to the kitchen and brought a cupful. The Pearlhunter held It to the man's lips. He couldn't .swallow, but the touch of the water seemed to revive him. He opened his eyes and stared, like a man trying to make out objects In a very din light. His oyet caught the glitter of the sheriff's star, frowned, raised, found the Pearlhuntef and strained hard at him. "And It was a cusse-l Warbiitton that got me at last!" "Who speaks the name of Warbrtly ton?" came a hoarse voice from tb couch. The dying bandit started, rolled hli eyes toward the sound. "What was that! That voice!" The IVarlhunter caught the foot of the couch and moved It around se the two fast sinking men could see each other. No sooner had the gray giant on the couch caught a glimpse of th man on the floor than, with a great cry, he tried to rise. His utmost strength only served to bring hi part ly up on an elbow, and that only with the Pearlhunter's aid. "Martin Redmond!" he cried and almonst Instantly: "Where Is shel The woman you distalned? And tin boy? Tell me! I've still the strength to tear It out of your cursed tfcroat!" The dying robber fixed his falllnl eyes on the couch. Only God knows who glveth his grace to the Just and to the unjust how he found strength for further words. "Warbritton !" lie muttered thr name huskily, the bloody froth upon his lips. "She was not distalned. n was ail a mistake. I let you think It because I hated you because I hived her because she loved you and no! me. Twenty years she's roved thes rivers, pure as the dew at dawn. Sh sleeps tonight in a grave four days old at Fallen Rock." lie picked up his hand from wfeer It sagged down upon the floor, carried It at great labor to his boom, funbled under the fancy vest, drew foith a picture and laid It against his lips, The Pearlhunter snatched It away Tht, action brought the picture near the old man. He seized it, held it an instant before his eyes, and with a deep groan laid It against his bosom. "And the boy?" he cried to the mas on the floor. "The boy?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)
