CHAPTKU X.
Graded chair toppled to tho ground
n he rose. In three stride he '' out
of the door. I turned to Moel with a
demand for nn explanation.
"Wnlt till llerr Gnideu return," he
grunted sulkily.
1 have the stroncest objection to thoe
llly trick of secrecy with which the
professional police endeavor to magnify
their most simple discoveries. I w
apeoklng my mind strongly on the subject
when my cousin reappeared.
"Halm! what' the matter?" he asked
I explained the position, while the fat
Herman chuckled In an oily, Irritating
manner.
"I not the ufflelal always the name?
Mid tirade, with a grim smile. "Come
to the IlKht. ltobert, and Til explain."
It was certainly an Ingenious discovery
they had wade. lm the page upon
which the map should have rested were
several slight indentation, evidently the
result ef marki wade hm the lot paper
liy a pencil with a ftne point. With great
care my cousin tore out the correspond
ins map from hte gnale book end titled
It Into the vacant place. Then, turning
it slowly hack, he drove a pin through
the thhi paper at the stmts Immediately
above the Indentation on t4 iwge he
low. The devil take him!" he cried. "Look
Mosscl. ThU doesn't help us, after alt."
It wan true enough. The phi-prick
shewed, first. l.emdorf; then a cross
road some ten miles to the east; and
then llromberg. to the north, on the
Iteriin-Tboro. ami C!nen, to the south,
ou the Poen-lrankfurt railway. He
had evidently been measuring and calcu
lating Indecisively.
"De not trouble yourself, Herr G ra
don." said Mossel. with a wave of the
hand that had more than a suggestion
of iwtronage. "There are mill telegraphs.
I will have him detained at whichever
Hare he reaches I Khali return in half
hii hour to n good supper, 1 trust, Mr.
landlord."
We followed him to the outer door,
which opened to a writhing wilder
of snow-flakes, for the fall had recom
menced. The policeman turned up hi
collar with a grant of disgust ami melted
Into the darkness. We turned to meet
the face of the landlord, white and drawn
with a terrible anxiety.
".My Hon!" h gasped. "What of my
son?"
"Ilea vest pardon me!" cried Gradeii,
"I had forgotten him!"
"Tbl man he drove, that I about to
lie arrested is he a criminal? Do not
upare we, mem llerr."
"Vor servant Our driver to-day will
be telUttg the tale In your kitchen, of
the death of the Prof. Mecbersky, of
Castle 0ter. ThU kmr, whose naute is
Maraac. killed him. That b why wo
pursue. Yet, my friend, I see no dan
ger for your son, unless "
"Pale what, meln llerr?"
"UmV he refused to assist In the
est-uie of a murderer."
"lie U an honest hoy, a good loy, but
Tery stubborn. Ill horn were Wrrow
ed; he bad promised to return tkem to
night. He wouM never consent to drive
this man to Itremberg or Gnesen, which
la nt leant an eighteen hours' journey.
Oh, meln Herr, meln Herr! what U hap
peningout there in the snow?"
"We are In the hand, of Providence,
my friend," said my cousin gravely, lay
ing his baud on the landlord's arm. "You
cmu do nothing but pray thut It may be
well with the boy."
I wa very sorry for lteskl. An I
made my toilet In my room upstairs, the
danger of hi son grew upon me. I'ate
accident, Providence whatever you
i-boose to eali Itis a strange thing, for
Indeed It ebooso In victim with a flae
luipartlallty. When I entered our nupper
rootn, I found my coualn eUally dhtturli
od. Thl b a bad buliie alwtiit the
landlord wn." b iwhl. "I've a good
liilud tw follow the slelgb. though It'a
little good that would do."
"It an awful night." 1 grumbled, for
Indeed tbo wind wu vhriekliig In the roof
like a I ot fMtul.
"iou'ro a hukw ebap, ltobert, with
your confountl! HMHHeriaHM," he said.
"Yet I'll wager you'd be the 11 rut to be
off Into the atorui in a matter of life
und death."
It wad not exactly complimentary, but
I let It ihim.
Moel waa delayed. It was clone upon
twenty minute more before he arrived,
a auow-gwatUed, atamplng boar of a
man, wIioko curies preceded him nn he
rolhvl down the pannage to our room.
"What'a up, Sloasel?" Gradeii dutimnd
cd aharply.
'"The wlrea, moln 1 1 err Graden, the
wire! I'oUtausuml! but thla utoria Ima
brought them down like clothe linos."
"A peclal train, thou."
"Thoy have not an engine In the ahed.
I have been to see; it wa thut which
delayed me."
Graden drew a ahcet of paper from
hi pocket and glanced at It awlftly,
"There U not u train till ton In tlio
morning." he nald. "He will be ut Ilrom
berg, which U the nearer town, by eleven
at latest. This l a branch line, and we
could not get there under three bourn.
It la now fcuven. Au old man na he I)
could hardly travel through such a night
without Btops for food. Again, this lad
who drove him may have refused to pro
ceed. We must chance It, vaj friends,
and follow."
"I thought you had already jwi decided
when I naw the idolgln at the door,"
iwhl Miwel.
"Slelgh, Moel? I ordered no
ulelghi!"
"Well, they're there. Two troikas
with three good horaes apiece. Come and
see for yourself."
The iMdlceuitiu had spoken the truth.
On the leeward side of tli jmri'li two
sleighs were waiting. The light front the
open deer behind us shimmered ou the
drifting snow mid Hashed on the bells
about the horses' necks. It was bitter
ly odd. and I wns turning to retreat into
the hall when a man wrapped In furs
i'loved out of the dnrkiies. It was the
keeper of the inn. his face grey-white,
like the undersnie of a side.
"Whose sleighs are these?" asked
Gntdeu sharply.
"Mine, Mr. KiielWitimn, mine. 1 fol
low to smve my Ixiy."
"And the horses f
"The het In l.emdorf. Tby are
private teams, lent by tho-e who bad
tity umh my wmtow."
"May we come with yon?"
"I would ask for nothing better, meln
llerr."
Inside of ten minutes I was ready to
start, with a borrowed cloak tlung over
my thickest clothes, and a huge hunch
of breiidtHiid-iiieat In my hand. Quick
as I had been, Mosel And my cousin
were alread) dressed and in consultation.
We were to drive to the cross-roads, they
told me, and then searate, the one
sleigh, with Graded, Moel.and an ex
perienced driver, taking the road to
Ilromberg. which, being the shorter, was
more likely to be the one Maniac had
chosen; the other, containing the Inn
keeper and myself, was to follow the
Guesen road. I was not particularly
pleased at the prospect of parting with
my friends, but I made' no objection to
this plan. We entered our sleighs, roll
lug ourselves In the rugs.
"Are you armed?" Graden called
across to the innkeeper In UU little smt
before we.
"Ye, meln Herr. Do yon go 9rt, for
you have the better team."
The chase was up lndd!
As we panned on to the plain outside
the town, the gale that came charging
out of froxen Ittiin leapt upon us with
a howl uf furious joy. The tlakos that
rose from beneath the curved runners ami
the beating hoofs fled spinning Into the
night. The sky hung low and black ami
stark above the white sheet of roltiug
snow. The little sleigh 'twlls grew silent
In the heavier drifts, breaking out again
where the track was harder. A hun
dred yards ahead the sparks of Gul
den's plH? tlasbed as they kindled In
the wind. The fall bail almost ceased.
My driver sat wpiarely liefore me, with
a rein In each of nis fur-gfovod bands. 1
couhl not ee his face, but from his pro
jecting bead and huuahed shoulders I
could Imagine how he looked, peering
over bis horses luto the 'light, with fear
gripping at hi soul.
I must admit that for myself I was (n
a condition of petulant discomfort. The
slightest movement seented to give en
trance to some new draught that chilled
my arm or ran trickling down my spine.
Now and again a (lake of snow lodged In
my neck or ear and melted Idly. Tired,
cold and hungry, I lay amid my rugs,
cursing the folly that hail led me to take
a hand in a Imsiuewt that should have
been left to the I-ollce. I had the keenest
desire for a quarrel, but lielng to all con
versational purposes alone, that reltel
was IiniKMslulc.
CHAITHIt XI.
Within two miles of I.emsdorf we bad
left the plain for the forest The moon
wn obscured, yet a faint light filtered
down front above, milling a reflection iu
the snow, ami emphasising tbo black
pillars of the pins that went sibling
by. There wan now no trace of our
companions save the mark of their run
ner on the track; over the wood broml
mI an utter silence, broken oufV by the
swish of our sleigh and the murmur of
the bells rising aud falling In a low,
monotonous melody. It was a If we
were passing through tbe waste places of
a dying world. One of my feet began
to grow numb, aud when I turned about
that I might shelter it, the snow that
had gathered ou my collar plunged down
my neck, so that I shivered with cold.
Hut on the whole I was reasonably wurm
amongst my wraps, and a feeling of
drowsiness grew upon me.
It was Iteskl's volco that woke me.
Wo had halted In a dim clearing In tlio
woods. A score of yards away the sec
ond sleigh was waiting. Hvidautly we
had readied the cross-roads, where wo
woro to part.
"Any track" shouted my driver.
"No," come Gradeu's answer. "The
wind and the fresh fall have cleared
them away. Are you all right, Hubert I"
"I am exceeding uncomfortable, It
that is whut you wunt to know," I shout
ed back. Indeed, It was a silly question
to ask me. My temper was not Improv
ed by a dlstuut chuckle which I attrib
uted to Mosstd.
"Chqpr up, Kobort!" continued my
cousin. "H you run across him, i you
must do your best. Itoskl will see you
through, never fear; but I don't think
there is much chauco of your coming up
with him,- for ho will havo taken tlio
shorter route which we follow. Anyhow,
remember that the rendezvous is at the
'Drel Kronen at Thorn. If you catch
him, telegraph there; If the wires, are
down, send n messenger. Do you under
stand?" "You arc perfectly lucid."
"Well, goodd.y."
The snow spurted from under thelt
horse's hoofs ns they swung nn to the
north road. Then my driver shouted to
his totim, mid wo, too, rushed forward,
lint on the other truck curving south
and east. Kor n minute I could hear
their both tinkling nil echo in the dis
Inncn. Then they died away Into si
lenee.
My Interest In the ehnse. suddenly ex
paitilcd. Now that my cousin had desert
cd me, It seemed an ugly, dangerous
business. MiuniU" would stop nt noth
ing, that was certain. Supposing wo
should ehauee niton tils desperate ma
nine, what then? My driver was arm
ed, and hud the appearance of a bold,
courageous ttnin. Was he so In reality?
1 sturrd up ut his back and wondered.
We had Imu'lcil the half of n tulle,
when from the black of the forest be
fore us me a cry a llerce, chuckling
hay that sent the hnrses plunging across
the road. In the solitude of those Ice
bound wooils It sounded the more threat
ening, the more utterly umlUtiinnt. 1
sprang to my feet, gripping Iteskl by the
shoulder.
"What Is that?" 1 cried.
"Wolves, meln llerr."
"Will thoy attnek us?"
"Calm yourself, meln llerr," he an
swered grullly, his eye still set on the
track before him. "The winter Is young,
and their mouths are not empty.
The tre of the horsws bad dropped to
a slow trot. They advanced stltlly, with
staring eyes and ears pricked forward. I
remalued standimt. nsrrlng across tbe
driver's scat at the white track that ran
dlmlv away Iwtween the banks of pines.
Suddenly from a snow-powdered thick
et before us there burst a chorus of low
snarls that grew Into the short, ntigry
Iwrks of dogs disturbed. With a jerk
the horses stopped, trembling aud squeec
lug themselves together with the fear
that was on them.
"They have something there." cried
lteskl, ami there was a shudder In his
voice. "Otherwise they would not be so
bold. Take the reins, metu Herr."
He thrust them Into my hands and
Jumped from the set. Ills pistol llasli

fell again like a veil.
"What have you found?" I shouted.
"Under the trees It Is bard to see."
came back his answer. "l'erhs I was
mistaken. Hut wait." J
He struck a match, and his tal
figure spraag ont In silhouette 4
moved slowly forward, shleldlftg th.
with his hand. !
"Here are the footprints of tlw

merer! It is a man! It U Ivrtl
son!"
We were on Mareae's trail tbl
of tbe dtwil.
At last It was all over. AbtwJ
dared not leave my bold uoh the
ened horss-s. Itekl carried bis on
sleigh and Ian! him there Im-UI mi
a rug i-rs the fare. He bad bH hlllsel
from behind, poor lad. with a revolver
shot In tbe bark of bis head. He bad
refused to proceed, and Marnae bad not
hesitated. That ws plain enough. I
thanked God that we had been In time
to save bim from the wolve.
Yet there had been but a short delay.
Kor when lteskl had -en bU dead he
stowed llpoH tbe sleigb, he bad taken
the reins ami sent his horses forward. He
did not swHk. nor dkl I offer hi in con
solation. Hut as I watched him sitting
above me, ln-ering ahead like some old
teak flgure on a vessel's Imiws, there was
a grim Intensity about the man, a fixed
resolve that was strange to wltue. So
we lied through the night, down the
Interminable avenue of pines, hearing
our dead with us.
It was one o'clock wlii'U vX lit uon
a wayside Inn. Our clamor aroused lbs
landlord, who directed hs to where a ket
tle simmering ou the stove gave a warm
ntaoh for tbe horse ami hot crnTee for
ourselves. He was sleepily Incurious,
nor did be Inquire what wa the thing
beneath the rug which we carried with
us. lint be gave us news. Marnae had
left there less than two hours before. He
bad lieen greatly ilelnynl by a colllslou
with a tree, and some rough repairs had
Wn necessary. One of hi horse, too
had been slightly lamed. Yet lteskl
showed no unusual Interest In the tale
we heard. He spent his time with bis
horses, grooming ami soothing them. It
was not till they had reeled threettar
tew of au hour that be called me out
from my seat by the stove, and again wu
swept away ujain the chase.
It was at dawn that we sighted him.
He was climbing a long slope, n black
speck In the white riband of a road.
Above him. long Hikes of orange cloud
were slowly brightening nnd deepening
In color. As ho topped tlio hill, the sun
camo peering up over a moorland heaped
with tumbled drifts. The sky Hushed
mnl fudod to u deep eobalt blue. Hu day

It almost seemed us If our howo un
derstood. They increased their puce
without a touch of the whip, tugging ut
the frozon.-twlstoil rein. A they, too,
rose the hill, lteskl shoutod to them, aud
thoy stepped briskly forwnrd. The fresh
vnw had frozen, and wo traveled well,
the surface crackling as wo crushed over
It. We woro loss tluin a qtiartcr of a
mllo from him when ho turned nnd no
ticed us. We suw him spring to his feet
aud lash his team, but the olT-slde liorsu
was running stillly and hi pace scarcely
increased. Ho loaned down, fumbling
mid searching at his feet, while ho held
the reins In olio hand. After that hu
did not hurry, but drove steadily forwnrd,
