CHAPTER V.
The Hunted Man.
That day wan hot nml windless with,
an unclouded sky a dny of hrusa mill
burning.
Long before any sound auiltblo to
huinnn ears disturbed tho noonday
hush, a bobcat sunning" on a log In a
glade to which no trail led, prlcLcil
ears, rose, glanced over shoulder with,
a snarl and of a sudden wi9 no mora

Perhaps two minutes latar a lUCOeBi

an Instant swaying, then reeled to a
seat on the log, pillowing his head on

He was a young man who had been
and would iigalu bo very personable.
Just now he wore the look of one
hounded by furies His face wns crim
son with congested blood and streaked
with sweat and grime; bluish velui
throbbed In high relief upon bis tem

had been either consumed in the for
est fire or stolen by his Indian gttMl
who had subsequent' died while at
tempting to murder his I inploy.T
Since that event, the man had suc
ceeded In lotting himself cniidctcly.
In seeltlng shelter (rout the tliundcr
storm, he had lost touch with his only
known and none too rflggrlT located
landmarks. Tlien. alter a night passed
without a fire In tho lee of a ragged
bluff, he had waked to discover the
sun rising In the west ami the net of
the universe sympathetically upsldo
down; and aimlessly ever since lie had
stumbled and blundered In the maxe
of those grimly reticent fastnesses, for
tha last few hours haunted by a fear
of falling reason possessed by a no
tion that he was dogged by furtive
enemies and within the la It hour the
puppet of blind, witless panic.
But oven as ho strove to culm him
self and rest, the feeling that some
thing was peering at him from bohluil
a mask of undergrowth grew intoler
ably acute.
At length he Jumped up, glared wild
ly at the spot where that something
no longer woe, (lung himself fran
tically through the brush In pursuit of
It, and- found nothing.
With a grant effort be pulled him
self together, clumped his teeth upon
the promise not again to gtre way to
hallucinations, and turned back to tho
clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested, he found-but refused to
believe ho saw a playing card, a
trey of hearts, face up In the sun
glare. With a gesture of honor, Alan Law
fled the place.
Millie the sounds of his (light were
still loud, a grinning half-braid, guide
etole like a shadow to tho log. Inughod
derisively after the fugitive, picked up
and pocketed the card, und set out
In tireless, cat-footed pursuit.
An hour later, topping a ridge of
rising ground, Alan caught from tha
hollow on lta further side the music of
clashing waturu. Tortured by thirst,
be began at once to descend In reck
less haste.
What was at first a gentle slope cov
red with waist deep bfUeh and car
peted with leaf-mold, grew swiftly
more declivitous, a mossy hillside, us
steep as a roof, bare of underbrush,
and sparely sown with small cedars
through whoso ranks cool blue water
twinkled far below.
The shelving moss bads' afforded
treacherous footing; Ainu wus glad
now and then of tho support of a ce

down again.
Instantly one occupant of the

her guide steadied the vessel with hie'

that she scarcely disturbed the nice

In a little comer officii, toberly fur
nished, on the topmost floor of one of
lower Manhattan's loft I cm. t office tow
ers, a little mouse brow n man sat over
a big mahogany desk; a little man of
big affairs, sole steward of one of
America's most formidable fortunes
Precisely at eleven minutes past
noon (or at the Identical lustuut cios
en by Alan Law to catapult over in
edge of a cliff In northern Maine) the
muted signal of the little man's desk
telephone clicked and, eagerly lifting
receiver to ear, he nodded with 1 smile
and suld In accent! of some relief:
"Ask her to come In at once, please."
Jumping up, he rl iced a chair In lie
tlmate Juxtaposition with his owu;
and the door opened, und u young
woman entered
Tho mouse brown man bowed. "Miss
Hose Trine?" he murmured with a
great deal of deference.
Tho young woman returned kls bow
with a show of perplexity: "Mr. Dig-

"You ore kind to coine In response
to my ah unconventional liivliu

Hhe said, "Thank you," gravely, and

f hateful Irony In that strangely
onoroui votes of his.
, "Rose," he laid elowly -"my daiigh'

guilty of an act of disloyalty to me."
She laid coelly: "You had inn spied
upon."
"Naturally, with every roaaoa to
queitlon your loyalty, 1 had you
watched."
She waited a alitnlflrniit moment,
then dropped an impassive monosyl
lable Into the illence: "Well?"
"You have visited thn man Dlgby,
Servant and friend of the muu I hato
i and you love."
Bhe said, without expression; "Yes."
"Repeat what passed between you."
"I shall not, hut on one condition."
"And that la?"
"Tell me first whether It wns you
who lent the rose to Alan I -aw and
more, where Judith him been during
the last fortnight?"
"I shall tell you nothing, my child.
Repeat" the resonant voice rang with
inflexible purpose -"repent what Ihn
man Dlgby told you'"
The girl was silent He endured her
stare for a long minute, a spark of
rage kindling to name the evil old eyes.
Then bis one living member that
had power to serve his Iron will, a
hand like the claw of a bird of prey,
moved toward a row of button sunk
In the writing-bed of his desk
"I wern you I have ways to make
you speak "
With a quick movement the girl
bent over and prisoned the bony wrist
In her strong fingers Wltji her other
hand, at the isme time, she whipped
open en upper drawer of the desk and
took from It a revolver which she
placed at a safe distance
"To the contrary." she said quietly,
"you will remember that the time bus
passed when you could have DM pun

straightened up with an exclamation

them hastily Into her liiiud bag. togeth

Then touching the pushbutton
which released a secret and little used

slipped from the room and, cloning the
