secret hiding pleco upon Dear moun
tain.
Ho had heard them seeking for him
eternally; on the very day after his1
escape he had come upon one of the
guards dozing under a flr tree. He
had taken his rlflo and then, awaken-,
ing him, scorn fuly ordered him to de
part The man had obeyed fearfully,
and tho rifle and a box of matches had
enabled the fugitive to live. But
every time ho brought down a rabbit
or partridge the sound of the shot,
echoing through the valleys, at once
Informed his pursuers of his where
abouts. Ho looked round cautiously. No ono
was In sight High up on the opposite
hill ho saw the outlines of a tiny
cabin. It was his sweetheart's homo
Molllo Stark's. It was to avenge
an Insult to hor that he had shot and
crippled Seth Baldwin. That was '
two years before, and ho had been 1
sent up for ten. Mollle had sworn to
be true to him.
But slnco his flight ho had not dared
go near her home. It was too des
perate a chance to take. But a visit
on his part to the wild glen In which
they had plighted their troth had re
sulted In the finding of a packago of
food placed there by Molllo. In it was
a littlo note.
"Dero Ben," it ran. "I hid this and
brout it hero thinking you would como
hero. Como to tho cabbln on Monday
nito at nine. Lovingly, Mollle."
Tho full moon gave almost as much
light as the sun. Tho fugitive crawled
down the slopo and approached the
opposite height, worming his way up
through tho ferns and close-clinging
Tines. At last he. emerged upon a lit
tle rocky eminence a hundred yards
distant from the cabin. From Mol
lie's window a rag fluttered. The fugi
tive understood that sign. She was
alone. Grasplrig his rifle ho went for
ward boldly.
He was within ten yards when tho
door opened. His heart leaped. Mol-
The candle waa dashed to the floor,
and In the bewildering night each
only knew that ho was fighting for
life with an implacable adversary.
Ben dug his knuckles Into the hollow
space between the point of th jaw
and tho great cord behind tho ear aa
old woodsman's trick, to compress the
carotid and produce unconsciousness.
He felt his enemy weakening. He had
him at his mercy now. Suddenly a
tremendous blow fell upon his head
from behind. He heard the shivering
of the cheap rlflo stock, flung out his
hands, felt fo some stable hold In
the encompassing darkness, and tum
bled to tho ground. Tho last thing
that he saw as his senses loft him was
tho faint glimmer of the relit candlo
and Molllo's agonized face, in its
aureole hair.
"Ben!"
' "Mollle I"
' He started out through the whirling
phantasmagoria that surrounded him.
' Ho was dizzy and deathly sick. Gradu
ally, as tho fog cleared from his brain,
ho realized that t ho was lying in a
littlo room. Ho lay in Molllo's room,
upon a bed, and tho face that ho
loved best in all tho world was bend
ing over him.
"Thank God ho is coming to,
I Frank!"
"You had better leave him for the
present" It was tho voice of Morri
man. He camo into the circle of
Ben's vision, a mighty man, his face
swathed in bandages. Looking upon
him, Ben dimly wondered how ho had
over had tho strength to wrestle with
such a fellow. He was too weak to
lift a finger now.
"Well, young fellow!" Merrlman
was seowllng down at him. "You've
done for yourself pretty well
now," ho continued. "If my nephew,
Walt,- hadn't had tho gumption to
come up at the right moment and
snatch my rifle you'd have had a mur

hind Molllo he saw a rifle barrel.
With an oath he flung back Into
the brushwood. He would have fired,
butj treacherous though sho was, he
could not bring himself to kill her.
He heard yells behind him, Molllo's
screams, the shouts of his pursuers.
If they had fired befaro he won the
woods they might have brought him
down as ho had brought down that
rabbit the afternoon before. But, odd
ly enough, they forebore, and with a
shout of defiance he gained the forest
path and was speeding like a stag to
ward Bear mountain.
An hour later he dropped exhausted
upon tho ground Inside his cavo. It
was a bear's hole, cunningly hidden
on tho mountain side. Among that
waste of burned-over plno stumps
none could hit upon it save by acci
dent, and that I. 'n did not anticipate.
It was not fear that made him pant
like a marathon runner, but wrath and
self-contempt.
Molllo was a traitress He had been
fooled by a chit of a girl, for whoso
sake ho had suffered two years in
the pontitentiary. Anger, overcame all
other feelings. Ho would show her!
He would show them! What should
he do?
For an hour ho lay thinking, gnaw-
lng his Up in rage. His pasBlon for
her had been so Btrong, his lovo so
largo a part of his existence, that the
revulsion was terrible. Ho must con
trive some punishment commensurate
with tho crime. Among the hill wo
men there could bo none other so
baso as to betray her lover, as Molllo
had sought to betray him. He had
recognized one of tho men In tho par
lor as Frank Merrlman, tho sheriff. Ho
had been a suitor for Molllo's hand
beforo sho promised herself to Ben.
Doubtless ho had persuaded her.
- Ha! Ho had his plan. It flashed
Into his brain ready-forged in the fur
nace of his wrath. Doubtless Merrl
man would be at her homo tho follow
ing night Hor father, tho bedridden
old man, would bo bolpless. Ho would
Bteal In and shoot tlio man before
Molllo's oyes and thou then cut off
her hair, leaving her to tho dorlslon of
(ho hill folk.
His plan consumed him. Ho passed
tho outstanding hours like a man in a
delirium. Day dawned, tho sun blazed
upon tho wild-eyed man who paced to
and fro upon the mountain side. Tho
shadows lengthened as the sun de
clined; at last the fiery orb touchod
tho horizon. Shouldering his rlflo ho
marched doggedly through tho scrub
until once more he saw Molllo's cabin
outlined against the darkening sky
upon tho further ridge. Even as ho
watched a tiny spark Hashed out from
the parlor candle.

"Well,- I guess you'vo won," said
1 Ben feebly. "When are you going to
take mo back to the penitentiary?"
Frank Merrlman scratched his head,
then, fingering his bandages, he
scowled; at length a smllo broke out
upon his face.
"When will you bo ready to start?"
ho asked.
"You'l havo to put me In a cart, I
reckont" answered Ben. "Frank," ho
'continued, "I'm likely to get a life sen
tence no.w and wo aren't likely to
meet again. I want to ask a promise
of you. Treat Mollle well. She's
the finest girl in the world, and If
she was false to me well, I reckon It
was for your sake, Frank."
The sheriff stared at him. Then he
turned abruptly away. "The devil
you say!" ho muttered.
Ho went to tho door and called tho
girl. Ben heard them whispering out
side. And presently ho was aware,
in his weakness, that Mollle was
bending over him again.
"Ben!"
"Mollle!"
"Ben, dearest. Did you think I had
betrayed you, Ben? Did you daro to
think that I was untrue to you?"
I He felt her tears drop on his band.
Ho listened dumbly, in an agony of
anticipation and doubts he dared not
utter.
"Listen, Ben! You are free. Free,
to go where you will. When you es
caped tho newspapers took up your
case. They demanded that you should
bo set free. The governor was ap
pealed to. He said that you had been
punished 6nough. Your pardon ar
rived tho week beforo you first camo
to the cabin. That was why I wont
to the mountalri.fll should have told
you, but I wautatL.lt to como as a
surprise. That night Mr. Merrlman
was waiting hero to band It to you.

An Inquisltlvo young follow asked
