She was still standing in the moonlight. I knew that she was dis- appointed that I had withheld an ex- pression of my love. What could I do? Turning again, I passed in among the trees. All through that long night I walked with a soft tread, hearkening to the slightest sound, straining my ears whenever a breeze rustled the branches of the trees or starting when I heard some fur coated creature prowling in search of food. Yet during my watch one picture was ever present before me. All night I saw Helen standing in the moonlight, all night I brooded over the barrier that separated us. At dawn I felt that I must get some rest or 1 would not be able to lead the party farther. Going to the little camp and awakening Ginger, I led him out to where I had been watching and told him to keep moving back and forth a short distance from the road and in case of danger raise the alarm. Then, returning to camp, I threw myself on the ground and fell asleep. II CHAPTER XVIII. RETAHEN. WAS awakened by the kick of a eyes, tnudopening heavy oo my es Y , looked into the face of Tom Jay - cox. The expression of fiendish joy that shone through anxious caution froze the very marrow of my bones. The muzzle of bis revolver was within a few inches of my forehead, and his look told me_ that a word of alarm or a motion for self defense would be a sig- nal for a bullet to go crashing through my brain. "Git'up," he whispered. I stood on my feet. "Move on." It was the dawn of a beautiful spring 'morning. The perrume or young ver-. dure, the twitter of birds, an occa- sional cock crow In the distance, gave me the thought that it is delightful to live. But they threw over me as well a contrasting gloom, for it seemed cer- tain that this fair scene was the last of those.pictures drawn by the divinely artistic hand of the Creator that I should ever look upon. My companions were all wrapt in a heavy slumber, induced by a long period of unrest. I bade a mute farewell to each as I passed, breathing a blessing on little. Buck, whose arms were clasped about his sister, his young face and figure relaxed; on Jaqueline, her white face resting in a profusion of tumbled black hair; on Helen, her features strong even in sleep. There was a line be- tween the lids of Helen's eyes, but I thought little of that, for It is not un- usual for people to show this line when sleeping. I thanked God that my pres- ence would no longer be. a menace to these dear ones who had suffered so much for me. Jaycox marched me out of the camp toward the road. across it and into a wood on the other side, where his horse was picketed to a tree. He was con- stantly looking about and listening, and 1 inferred this was for others of the gang, who had doubtless separated in order to cover more ground in their e. arch for us. Finally the brute stood s 111 and. pointing his revolver straight u me,' tired two shots in rapid succes- s on, the bullets singing close to my cars. He did not intend to kill me, though he was indifferent • whether be did or not. He wished to serve a dou- ble purpose of signaling the band and intimidbting me. Two similar shots were fired far• to the north, and then my captor started off with me in that direction. Entering the road, we proceeded, Jay - cox, some ten yards behind me, amus- ing shots himself by Sng se firing occasional at me, evidently trying to see how near he could come to me without hit- ting me. One of his bullets grazed my ear, and I felt blood trickling on my collar, good evidence that be bad miss- ed his imaginary mark on the wrong side. He was doubtless firing for bis double purpose of letting his compan- ions know of bis whereabouts and of torturing me. His signals and those of my other enemies were drawing nearer and nearer together. I did not doubt that the guerrillas would prevent any further opportunity for escape by mur- dering me at once, though they might delay long enough to force me to sign for a ransom which would have no effect in saving me. I lost all care whether Jaycox hit me or whether 1 was spared for a more 'horrible death by the gang. At last I was face to face 'with the inevitable. I was trudging on mechanically, my eyes bent on the ground, Jaycox close l.ehind swearing and shooting at me, wben suddenly a shot rang out from behind us both. I turned and saw Jay- eox tumble from the saddle. Running to where he lay, 1 bent over him and knew at once that I looked into the face of a dying man. Ile gave me one malignant look, a shiver passed ter bite, and MO eyes were set In death. . ' T• looked UD and saw Helen standing r kttt w the roan a snort alstance Dacrs w;tn a carbine in her bands. There was something In the expression of her face, holding as she did the weapon, a light smoke curling from, its muzzle, that brought vividly before me my ene- my with his smoking pistol on the night of the massacre.' A signal shot came from around the trees so near that we knew the rest of the band would soon be upon us. Quick as thought I sprang into the saddle left vacant by Jaycox and spurred toward Helen, she darting into the wood,. I fol- lowing and, after penetrating far enough, both hiding behind a rock cov- ered with brush. + • A horseman came dashing down the. road, pulled up beside Jaycox's body, looked around anxiously as .though. fearing an ambush, then hurried back whence he came. With one impulse'Helen and I sprang into each other's arms. ' Oh, the rap- ture of that embrace! I essayed to speak to her, to utter even a word, an exclamation expressive of what I felt. I could only draw her cheek down against mine and mutely hold it .there. Then I showered kisses on her lips, her cheeks, her forehead, her eyes. For the moment I forgot all but the rever- ence, the gratitude, the burning pas- sion, such it -apassion sion that thrilled led °m e as comes but once, if ever, in a life- time. Suddenly there came to Helen a re- membrance of our danger. "Mount! Quick! All depends on put- ting space between you and those who will.kiil you the moment they .get their hands on'you again!" • "And leave you? Not I!" "Oh, my God! Are you going to act that way again?" "You have killed Jaycox_and released me a second time. Do you suppose they will overlook that?" She became frantic at my opposition. "You fool! You ingrate! To throw away your life when I have•twicesaved it." "We will go together. Here, put your foot in my hand. Once in the saddle, you can ride away, while I can go as fast on foot asiyou." • "Hark!" .. - • There were. sounds of horses'' hoofs coming leisurely from the south, and in another moment a mounted. man in With his hand on his heart he bowed • profoundly..

By the bye, where is that fuel - flitting little creature" - "Oh, captain," cried Helen, "a life- both titer lives -are at stake!' "What can 1 do fo' yo'?" asked the captain, at last impressed with our ex- cited appearance. By this time the guerrillas had come up to Jaycox's body and stood alter- nately looking at it and casting glances hito 'the wood on either side of the road. They 'raised him,, felt of bis. heart, knew that he was dead and dropped him. • "It's Jaycox," I whispered to the captain. "'He kidnaped me today a second time. This brave girl followed and shot him. In a few minutes they will scour the wood. We have but one horse. • It will .never carry us both. swiftly enough for escape." • "I relinquish my horse with pleasure, of co'se. May I assist" - Helen's foot was In my band and she in the saddle before he could finish. Then I sprang upon the other horse. . "Would you oblige me," the captain. called after us as we hurried away, "by informing me where I can find that little beauty":- • "Over tbere, in a 'pocket between knolls -half a mile. Tell them we'll join them later," ' I can see him now, with bid' hand on his heart, bowing profoundly, and, not- withstanding a shudder at remember- ing the danger we were in, cannot re- press a smile at the comical situation of this man who a few days before. bad ordered me out tq be shot, then had offered to • lend me .money and now, giving me bis horse to save my life, was about to start, of[ bunting for Jaqueline in the Cumberland moon- tains ' Helen and I, riding side by side, dashed through brush, between trees, over rocks, runnels, rotting trunks,aof trees, our only thought to put space between us and our enemies. She was riding on a man's saddle, sidewise, luckily supported by. ahigh pommel -rind-trolster;keeping-h'erabrtlanth-itslf- bred to the '"ring." I reached out my hand. She gave me hers to .press, and a lover's look, intensified by our den Ser, shot between us: It was only' for an. instant; for • so rough was the ground. so `nuinerous the obstructions, that we were obliged to' keep our eyes 'constantly fixed ahead. There bad been ,exciting moments since my first ab - eduction. ,but nothing like the wild ex- hilaration that thrilled me now, I for - gut the' barrier. that was still bettreen us, thinking only` that if this one ride Were successful years of happiness might be, in store for us.. •W'onderinh' if we were followed, 1 drew rein and listened.

'"Your bonnet!" I cried to Helen.t She tossed ito inc. "Now ride straight fcir that thicket." Spurring my horse .to the utmost, I made a circuit, dropping the' bonnet i and a trifle farther on my hat. Helen enteredthe wood, and I, wheeling, dashed in on the fartherside and re- joined. her. Jerking off my coat, I wrapped it about my horse's ears and eyes to prevent his neighing to those ',approaching, and Helen, divining my intention, did' the same to' her own mount with her jacket. Then the stood waiting, not a sound escaping from either us or our horses, even their panting deadened by the covering. It was either life or 'death, with the chances in favor of death..

Making as little noise as possible, keeping each other in sight, except occasionally when the trees and underbrush were too thick, we proceeded to the brow of the plateau. Descending, we soon struck the creek and, under cover of the trees, proceeded downward in open order, walking rapidly, keeping a sharp lookout ahead and on the flanks, We sad not gone far before an owl booted behind me, and so natural was the cry that, had 1 not been expeeting it, 'should never have suspected it to pave come lu Turn - Ing, of Jacuel e. r •omthe throat. from 1 Ing, 1 saw both girls pointing upward. On the very edge of the declivity and not far from where we bad begun our g n descent a man was loobllia dew from the plateau, We were so protected that he could not see us, for, besides being among the trees, we were in comparative shadow, while the man above stood out boldly In the light. He did not look like a guerrilla, but we hurried on. • Discovering a. 'great advantage in Jack's. signals, I called in the Hankers and the•rearguard and arranged with them that Jack was to travel with. me as .trumpeter. The' hoot of an owl Would ° mean "hide," a woodpecker's . rapping "rally on the center," the notes of a thrush "take a back track," a hen's cackling "-ush forward itt haste." These !;.goals being perfectly under- stood, we opened again and advanced like a central sun and satellites. We had made the principal part of the descent, wben, coming to a conven- ient spot, I ordered a halt for•rest, feel- ing a confidence that I had not felt since my • abduction -a confidence I should not have yielded to, for we were yet far from safety. The place of our halt was a delightful angle in the stream we were following. Jack stroll- ed away in search of wild flowers and was soon joined -by Captain Beaumont, • whose infatuation prevented him from thinking of aught else, even our com- mon danger. Buck stretched himself under a short .mountain oak, clasped•. bis hands under his head, threw one leg over the bent knee of the other and looked straight up into the branches. Helen and I were thus left alone. We sat down on the bank of the creek in view of the bubbling stream. Taking a slender stick in her hand, Helen be- gan to thrash the water. .I saw that she was troubled, and I .knew the• cause. The barrier between us, which intense excitement in a moment of me se bad faded out of sight, now loomed up again as ominously as ever.- We, sat without speaking. Jack and the cap-. tain were chatting briskly, every now• and again speaking loud enough for us to hear some word that told of the cap-' ,;-taip"s entIonllment, The silence be- tWeen I3elen and. myself grew painful. I could say nothing, to break the spell. I could but mutely express what I felt. Tteaebing out, 1 took her hand and drew her to me.' A shot! - • Looking upward to the plateau, I saw a •horseman dashing off to thespur north of us, whose ridge led to the level ground we were approaching. It was• plain tliat we bad been discovered, that the shot'was a signal and the horseman Was going to head us off.. The trouble had`all come from Buck. T have no doubt we should have given the 'guerrillas the slip had It not been by the huts of the field hands. Far In the distance was a snakelike line In the road, moving forward, it seemed, as a reptile crawls -the cavalry that we had so. nearly caught the day be- fore, now on their way back to Join the main force. I longed for a speak-' ing trumpet sonorous enough to reach them, but there was no hope for us now In them, and I brushed away dis- appo!ntmentand made a survey et thea ground directly before me -nothing but steep incline, so thickly wooded that the character of the ground was el. ..t- pletely bidden. On either hand was a mountain spur, between which ran a creek. .I hesitated between taking one of these spurs and following the bed of the creek. On the spurs we might be seen; by the.creek we would be con- cealed under the trees. I decided in favor of ,the latter. Returning to camp,' I informed the party of my decision. "Will you join us, Captain•Beau- ant? " I asked. m "I've been bunting fo' yo' all fo' days," replied the captain, „looking at Jack. "Now I've found yo', I'm not likelyto part with yo'! Together we can whip the guerrillas." "Not a dozen of them. Besides, we've . had enough of that." 1—'aWhat-are-^youvoing••t0-do•writh- the -F horses?" asked Helen. "Mount. the 'ladies," suggested the captain. . "Thank yo'." observed .Jack, "but I don't care to ride on a 'horse with his nose pointing to China and his tail at the stars." "No one could' ride a horse over such a route," said L."I'll take care of the stock." I tethered them in. the little pocket we were leaving, knowing that they were less likely to betray our where- abouts to our enemies there 'than if I. turned them loose. . "They'll starve," Jack remonstrated. "I 'can't help'it." ' "They shall not!" ' "Come, wehave no time to lose." , But Jack set about collecting what 1Ittle,'grass was to be bad .and piling it . •before .them. The captain; seeing_ her determination,• was soon on his knees gathering'grass and throwing -it in her apron. . ".I hope the delay will not cost us our lives," I grumbled. "Now, Ginger, I want you to go off to the right just as far as you can and still keep me in sight.' Buck, you goto the left and'do the same, but keep -close, for It won't do for us to call to each other." "Jack can make all sorts o' noises - cats, an owls an birds -so yo' can't tell 'em," Buck volunteered. "Good! We may have occasion to use her.

There are certain idio- syncrasies in boys that are as natural to them as for a duck to swim or a rob- in to fly. Unfortunately, at a critical moment Buck encountered an incident that called out one of these idiosyncra- sies. Gazing into the branches of the tree under which he lay, he espied a bird's nest. Unluckily, he noticed that a rock which admitted of a gradual as- cent stood directly under the tree.
