Meanwhile a frontia search lor Jervie goee on. Chapter 4 TRAPPED AGAIN IERVIS was feeling much better; the dreamy drowsiness had aaatod, and hli head wai clear. He ni horribly thirsty, but he felt pretty aura of being able to atlck It out till the tide went down only he mast get over the bars and Into the elites cave. After a bit he pulled himself along the bars to the aide of the cave. His wet clothes Impeded him, and he called himself a fool for not haTlng stripped. Be managed to scramble up the face of the rock with the help of the nearest bar. No way over here, or for as far as he could reach outwards. The bars ran to the roof of the cave. He pulled himself across and tried the other side with no better luck; but he came on a foothold, and stayed there leaning against the bars for what seemed like a long time. Meanwhile Rosamund Carew walked Into Old Foxy Flxon's bouse and called, "Robert!" She left the hall door open behind her and stood In the narrow hall. "Why have you some here?" Leonard said. "What an affectionate cousin you arel" "Cousin t" "Cousin," said Rosamund firmly. "And, officially, I'm here to fetch eggs. Janet's bens are on strike, so I've got a perfectly good excuse for coming." ' She walked past him Into the ugly square room, shut the door on them both, and asked Quickly, "Robert, where la he? What has happened?" "Nothing's happened," said Rob ert Leonard. "D'you mean he won't?" "He's an obstinate fool." "You must give him time. Ton didn't Imagine he'd give way at once, did you I That's why I've come. I want to see him." Ho gave a short laugh. "I sball play up the horrible scan dal, and Isn't It better to pay than to wash all the family linen In pub lic. Jervls mayn't he In love with me, but you can bank on It that he won't send me to jail." "Oh, hold your tonguel" said Robert Leonard angrily. "Why have you come here?" Leonard asked. There was just a chance that while the bars ran straight across, the roof might rise In the middle. When the water waa high enough, he crossed again, reaching upward. He could touch the roof all the way across. The bars met It Inexorably. Old Foxy Flxon had set his port cullis cunningly enough, at a point where the root came down to meet It There waa no way out on the eaward aide. 4. cold doggod courage came up in Jervls. Ks hadn't really hoped that he would be able to get over the bars Into the outer cave. He put the whole thing away, and de cided to make for the ledge on to which the passage opened. He ought to be able to make It pretty aoon bow, and It would certainly be above high water mark. As to what would happen then, It waa always on the cards that Leonard might come along the pas sage and open the gate carelessly. In which case he would find himself floored. Jervls' fancy dwelt fondly en the thought of getting a grip on Leonard's anklos. The passage would make bard falling. Aa It turned out, ho found ti ledge without difficulty. Out It was another matter to haul himself up on to It, The sill of rock was a couple of feet above water level, and beneath It, and upon either side, the wall was aa smooth and as slip pery as Ice. He could never have ellmbed to the ledge It he had not chanced on the ring. It was away to one side of the 11L lie had pulled himself up a dosen times, only to be dragged back by the weight of his drenched lothes and hla own tired limbs, when his desperate fingers closod upon It. It was of Iron, heavily rusted, an J had doubtless served to aecure the rope used for hauling In Old Foxy'a kegs. It was a god-send to Jervls. Straining and panting, he got a knee on the sill and fell forward. "A bit nervous this morning, aren't you?" said Rosamund. "Well anyway, that's my line, and 1 want a chance of trying It One hundred fifty thouson'a worth having." "A million's better to say noth ing of Weare." "What d'you mean by that?" said Rosamund sharply. "What should I mean?" "I don't know. Where la her "He's In the cave." "The cave?" said Rosamund. She looked Incredulous for a moment and then horrified. "But the tide doesn't the tide come up Into the cave?" "It does." "Robortl What have you done?" "I? Absolutely nothing." Rosamund took a stop backwards. "What have you done?" "I've done what I promised. I gave him the chance of paying up, and he wouldn't take It I can't say I'm sorry. Weare and a million la better than 150 thousand and the Argentine, with the off chance of Jervls doing us dirt." Rosamund loaned hard upon the door. "It he's dead, youll never touch a pennyl I told you sol Not one penny, Robert!" She made a sud den movement forward. "When Is It high tide?" "You mean when was It high tide, I suppose. It was high tide at ten minutes past eight this morning, and will be again at about a quar ter past seven this evening." "Have you been down since?1' "No." "Well, I'm going down now." "Want ma to come too?" said Leonard. "No. How much passage Is there?" "From here to the cliff and It slants." She went down the remaining stepe, (Ootvrilht, 1II, Llpplnoott) How will Ronmund, tht trtach rout, faoe tho mm to whom she nco was engaged? Langley Recall Goes On Ballot PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 14.
