Truffeni glad- | Iy offers him the help of her | clan and tells him she will con- | duet him to a place of safety. Chapter 15 SANCTUARY §ir Richard followed old Truf-! feni where she rode before, crouch- ed upon her pony, never halting | until they had ceached a wind- . pt desolation, void of trees, mul‘ mre rose a jagged outline of ruin- | ed wall and tower, and beyond this | a dark, bush-like eminence crown- ed by a thing at which he recoiled instinctively, a shaft and cross- beam wherefrom dangled a gris shape. “What dreadful place is this?” gried he, staring up at the gib- bet. “Dreadful indeed, my chavo!” ] answered. “’Tis few dares yenture a-nigh hereabouts nights!” “And wherefore bring me?” he demanded. “Would ye put me in mind of my own possible end? Per- | chance to dangle so, in rogue's| chains, 'tis an evil sight!” “Yet, 'tis only death.” “Ay, but in such fearful form!” “True, my lord. may rest this night as well as if his poor bones lay in hallowed grave, for he was kindly to the poor folk.” “Ha, you knew him?" ! was." “What, the highwayman?” “Even so, of the High Toby game were he indeed, . . . a kindly soul.” “And now, poor wretch, a thing to shudder at! Come let us go!” “Nay!"” said she, “for 'tis here| ye must hide. For the shadow o' déath is all 'bout ye, by reason o that which should be on thy finger find is not! So come thy ways| how!” Forthwith she led the way down through a secluded vailey unmtil be- fore them loomed a ruined arch fiatiked by crumbling masonry. And now, they rode across the smooth turf, shut in from the blusterous wind until old Truffeni stopped suddenly in a deep recess beneath 4 narrow opening in the masonry, where ivy grew thick; leaning from her pony she groped amid these leaves and presently drew thence a cord, which she tugged at once, twice, thrice, and sat very still and mgtionless. And after some while the ivy leaves in this particular cor-| ner parted, and from the very ground the pale oval of a face glimmered up at them, whereto the gypsy addressed herself: “All's well, pal” said she. “'Tis Pruffeni Camlo with a friend!” [ THE American Beauty Parlor Has two of the finest methods of permanent aving on the market today.

And, what's more, sir, 'tis hounted!” { “And well might be, Nick.” | “Ay, 'tis marvellous well haunt- ed by a goblin, your honour, also: a friar as goes moaning in bloodyl robe, right horrible to be heered.” | “Have you heard it, Nick?” “Sir—I have—often! ~ Which be only nat'ral, seeing ’tis me does; the moaning—when needful.” “Aha, rogue! And 'tis only need- | ful when prying strangers chanco‘? this way?” | “Ay, true sir. We likewise have a apparition as roars—Rob’s a on- common good roarer—a bull's head, | skin, horns, dressed wi' stuff called | fross-fross, as was contrived for us| by George Potter. You know George, | I think, sir?” “Ay, I know the lovely rogue; he heads the smugglers hereabouts. But who is Rob?” “Why, sir, Rob's in my line o'; business—A High Tobyman, flnq pretty well beknown; they calls him the ‘Galloping Parson'—" “Zounds, yes—I've heard o' the fellow, Nick! A desperate rascal, by | all account, and with more than one death on his hands.” “Why, sir, I'll admit as Rob be a bit quick wi' his trigger-finger—- jbut then, he be soured-like! Ye see, they hanged his feyther for a act as he didn't commit, and like- jwise topped his best friends, which | {was poor Jimmy Ahearn, for the act which was commit by Rob him- self, so he's naturally a bit remorse- {ful, which takes the form of pow- der and shot at the least oppor- { toonity.” Striking flint and steel, Black Nick lit a battered lantern whose flickering beam showed a wide paved floor whence sprang row' upon row of squat stone columns supporting groined arches. “A Norman crypt!” said Sir Rich- ard, glancing about. “Our stables, your honour. Look now, your Caesar will do well here, plenty o’ bedding and fodder!” Hav- ing thus stabled Caesar and litter- ing him down, Nick blew out the light and, grasping Sir Richard’s arm, led him through a narrow passage that, trending ever up- wards with many sharp turns, showed a narrow opening whence; shone a mellow light, HOW/LL WE 6T THERE?

And now, Sir, what d’ ye say to a dish o' tea a bite o' supper?” “Tea!” Sir Richard requested. “Then please to be seated, sir, in the chear. And likewise, if you're minded to eat, T can offer you cold ham, also a prime o' beef.” “Yea, Nick. I find myself rave- nous.” And so0, waited upon by this high- wayman, Sir Richard supped, and made hearty business of it. “And pray,” he inquired after some while, “where is your part- ner ,this man Rob?” “Why, tonight he’s a-working the road ’twixt here and Lewes. But, sir, we ain't partners, T don't hold wi' his methods, me never having shot man yet.” ‘I rejoice to hear “Though I won’t used my guns, now and then, butt end, sir—there be only one man as I'd like to be the death of and that's Jonathan Wild!” “What, the thief-taker?” “Thief taker and thief maker, sir, Jonathan raises all manner o' it, Nick.” say as I ain't criminals, boys and girls, and sells| | them—30 odd pounds for every thief, lives by the gallers. "Twere one o Wild's constables, and a black rogue, too, as Rob shot last.” (Coupright, 1928, Jeffery Farnol) In this robber’s den, Sir Rich- ard hears startling news—in Monday’s chapter. DOUGLAS NEWS D. F. D. TO DISPOSE OF ISLAND PAVILION At the regular meeting of the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department Thursday evening, it was decided to sell, if possible, the pavilion on Mayflower Island. A recent survey of the property showed the material used in its construction to be in fine condition. Cost of necessary repairs to keep the building up, is the cause for the present ac- tion. The building was built about 17 years ago from funds raised from a carnival held in the natatorium by the Fire Department. Something over $2,000 was used in its con- struction. For added protection at the can- nery it was also decided to place one of the chemical carts there to be handy in case of fire. Plans for improving the protection on Nob Hill, were discussed and a committee appointed to work on the project. Alex Russell was elected a new member of the Department. - e ROUND TRIP TO SITKA A. E.
