After removing Iho snddlcs ho followcil iho mulatto Kir) Into Iho hut, nml I muld hour the mur- imir of their voices. 1 endeavored to j science, tie knew I wns n white wom an: ho linil hoeomo convinced Hint I was Klolse Hcuucnlro. Did you know that, also?" "I learned the truth on the boat, from the same source where Klrhy oh- address Klolse, seeking thus to uwnken her to some sense of my presence, hut she merely smiled mennluglossly, lennrd her head wearily hack against tho poles and closed her eyes. It was n poor meal enough, although It sulllced to dull hunger and yield us some strength. Klolse succeeded In choking down n few morsels, hut drunk thirstily. It was pitiful to watch her, and to mark the constant effort she was making to fore the return of memory, 1 had Klale luithe her face with water and while, no douht, this refreshed her somewhat she only rested her head hack on my cont, which 1 hnd folded for a pillow, and again closed her heavy eyes. Tho negross Appeared so tired 1 bade her lie down and sleep, and soon after Tim also dl.v Appeared. I remained there alone, guarding the woman I loved. How were we to escape, burdened by this helpless girl, from pursuit, which perhaps had already started from Yel low Ranks? At nil hnrards I must now prevent this dazed, stupefied womau from ever again falling Into the power of Joe Klrby. That wan tho one fact I knew. I would rather kill her with my own hand, for I was convinced tho fellow actually possessed a legal right, which I could not hope to overthrow. I Remained There Alone, Guarding the Woman I Loved. However It had been accomplished, through what villainy, made no odds she was hit wife, and could only be re leased through process of luw. lie could claim her, hold her In spite At ine, In spite of herself. No Inlluonce I might bring to bear would save her now from this contamination. It would nil be useless, n thing for laughter. Hit signature of which Klrby had boasted and the certificate signed by the doad Uasktn.s, would offset any os slble efforts I might put forth. There remained no hope except through flight outdistancing our pursuers : find ing n route to safety through tho wilderness which they would never suspect. I must find nn unknown path, an un traveled trail. Our only hope Iny In bnflllng pursuit, In getting far be yong Klrby' grip. I dragged the map out from Its silk wrapping and spread It forth on the ground between my knees. It was tin latest government survey, given me when I first departed for the North, and I already knew every line and stream by heart. I became tfr Interested In the prob lem as to entirely forget her presence. Iiut. when I finally lifted my bead, our eyes met, mid I Instantly read In the depths of hers the dawning of recog nition. "Who are you?" she breathed In rreduously, lifting herself umui one hand. "Oh, surely I know Monti-mint ICnoz! Why, where am I? What has linppencd? Oh, Clod! you do not need to tell me that I liut you; I cannot un derstand ubout you. They they said you died." "They mtiRt have said much to de ceive you," and I bent forward to touch her hand. "See, I am very much alJve. Let me tell you that will be the quick est way to understand. In the first place I did not drown when the boat wns smashed, but was rendered help less and borne nway on the water. The Adventurer rescued me ubout daylight the next morning, and I was no sooner on board than T was told how the keel boat had been run down below on the river during the night and that your party bad ull been saved two white men and two negross slaves. Of course, I knew you must bu one of them." "Then IFicn we were actually to gether, on the same. boat, all tho way up here?" "Yes; I tried bard to find where you wore concealed on board, but failed. Klrby guarded you with great care from all observation. Do you know why?" "Yes," she answered, ns. though forc ing herself to speak. "I do know now. I thought I knew then, but was mis taken, I supposed It-might be bemuse I looked so little like u negress, but Umv I real lo It was, his own con- tulnod his Information. Kl.slo Clark- told me." "Klslo Clark I Who Is she? How did she know?" "A free negross. who hnd been cm ployed by Amos Shrunk. She was tho other prisoner on tho keelbont when you wore raptured, kept locked below in the cabin." "llow could she know who I was?" "She did not. Only she was ixisltlve that you could not be Iteno Ileauenlro., boctiu.se she know that Iteno. In com-' pany with her mother, bad departed from Shrunk' cnbln before those raid ers came. The two had already started for Heurdstown." She sat upright, all lassitude gone from her body, leanliu eagerly toward mo. her eyes' alight with Interest. "(June I Iteno escaped them!" she exclaimed, her voice choking. "Oh, toll mo that again. Was the girl sure?" "Quito sure. She saw and spoke with both the women before they left In n wagon. They were on the Under ground, bound for Canada, uud safety." "I am so glad so glad." she said simply. "Now I am strung enough to hear tho rest, Lieutenant Knox. You must tell mo." "There Is not so much to toll, that I am eock-surv about." I began slowly. "Klrby had you securely hidden nwny somewhere on tho second deck, while this Clark girl had been locked Into n stateroom above. I possessed such n growth of bean! uud was altogether so disreputable looking ns to be mistaken for u rotistd out by tho bn.l's olllcers. who set me nt work to earn my pass- age. In this way I munnged to talk with KMe. but fulled to locate jour q larters. The only glimpse 1 gained cf yru wns when yon were tlng taken esliore. Then I followed, and a little later suce-i'ded In getting you out of Klrhy "s hands. That Is about all." "Ob. no. It Is not j ou you came too Into." "loo late! Perhaps I may know whnt you mean." "Do you? Surely not to blnme me! I I wish to tell you. Lieutenant Knox, but but I scarcely know bow. It Is nil so dim, Indistinct In my own mind and yet I remember. Huve I been drugged?" "Without question. We have boon riding nil night and you were strapped to your horse. I'rohnbly you have no recollection of this?" She shook her hood In bewilderment. "No; the last I remember I was with Klrby nnd another man. He he was dressed like n minister, but but he was half drunk, and once he swore at me. The place where we were wns a little shack In the side of u hill, with stone walls. Klrby took me there from the steamer, together with a man he railed Itnle Jack ISnle. They locked mo In and left me alone after dark. Then this other man. who dress4i like a minister, came back with Klrby. They had food nnd some thing to drink with them, and lit n lnmp so that we could see. It was Attest: "That Man Herd" She Cried In Terror. "My Godl" She Burt Forth.

"Not quite so fast, young lady." he said, stuttering n bit uud holding the plfH In his band. "I reckon J wus thar nil right. Just lyi ye say, an' thet I did yer n mighty mean turn, but I nln't such a dern orunry cuss as ye think am I, cap?" "No, you are not," I hastened to ex plain. ".Miss Ileauenlro does not un derstand, that Is all. Kenned hero merely supposed he was doing his duty until he learned what Klrby contem plated. Then ho refused to have any baud In It nml tho two quarreled. Shall I relate that part of the story?" Her eyes scVtciicd, her lips almost smiling. "Yes." she said. "I urn glad to know ; tell me ull."
