THIRD INSTALLMENT. - (Back numbers can be obtained at The Star Office.) ee = CHAPTER IlUP THE MOUNTAIN. One could see With half an eye that Ben Golding was an easy-going man. Every- body at Sam. Springer’s store was charmed with him, except, possibly, crusty Sam Bailey, who was a born critic, but even Dan had no unfavorable: comments to make. If he secretly believed that this dusty trav- eler was not all that he ought to be, he re- served his opintofjs at the risk of losing the opportunity of saying, “I told you so.” Mr. Golding lounged in the store while his sup- per was preparing at Alvah Newcomb’s, across the way,'an@’ chatted with appar- ertly the utmost, freedom about himself. “You've come quite a piece teday, I guess,” ventured the storekgeper, who skillfully prestded over thé/ightly conferences:in his business place, where'republicans and demo- drats met on fair terms and debated cur- rent questions with all the seriousness that becomes American citizens. “Quite some,” responded Golding, heartily, “and if twa’n't for the dry weather I should Mr. Golding Lounged in the Store. be inclined to say you had pretty good roads up here. But it was uncommonly dusty to- di Been an uncommonly dry summer,” said Sam. “Come through Denby?” the other, + “Yes, got my rig there. They told me in Denby which way Freeman had gone.” “The fellow you're hunting for?” “The same. He passed through Denby yesterday some time, and they said he was hoofing it. Strange, very strange.” “T s'pose he's running away from you, eh?” Golding laughed quietly. “Well,” he responded, and this was his first appearance at evading a question. “I'm chasing him, and perhaps that’s the seme thing and perhaps it ain't.” “Don't he know you are after him “H-m, yes, I s'pcse he does, though I reckon he doesn't dream I'm so near.”’ “J didn’t ke the looks of him a durn bit,” remarked Dan Bailey. “So?” exclaimed Golding in a surprised tone, “‘why, most rybody kind of takes to Freeman first off. There was a general smile at this and Golding was puzzled by it, not realizing that Granite folk were accustomed to Dan's pessimistic opinions of men. “Have I put my foot in it, somehow?” ed the traveler. inquired a ‘No,” replied Sam, “it’s Dan's foot, whereat there was a guffaw at Dan's ex- pense, “Oh, no,” promptly exclaimed Golding, “the gentleman was quite right. I was simply surprisediat his keenness, for Free- man has played it on some mighty clever men. Dan, who had. been scowling at the ridi- cule of his neighbors and arousing resent- ment in his heart against the man whose presence had called it forth, was completely mollified. Had the man not been present he would have been'tempted to assert that Mr. Golding was a genulhe gentleman. “Embezzler, likely.” suggested one of the idlers, after a pause,:referring, of course, to the man who had taken the cabin on Baker mountain, “Well, I hardl know what to say, ors,” responded Golding, reflective! thought about it a good deal during my chase, and now that I feel I've got my man I'm in some doubt as to what word to ap- to what he's done. But it was a great wrong, gentlemen, @ great wrong.” The eas traveler spoke with su prising His listeners were profoundly interested. “From New York, I s'pose," ventured Sam. ma) mt the first time, s from justice rondack forest ponded Sam, w “It's a fine place to hide in.” often come across their bones,” th a ang man © only us that 1 try to £6 from one lake or mountaim to another, and the inhabitants of th th weeds would lhe repeated it need guides, and they’d have the sense to take ‘em, too, if they was to hunt or fis in the north woods. Likewise of the east and west. “Why, sir!” and crusty Dan warmed up as he saw that his listener was giving not only courteous but close attentiun, “it’s what you might call one of our amuse- ments to go hunting for the tom fools from the cities who come up here and set out interjected Springer, as if fearful of losing his share of the new- comer's respect. ‘Sometimes we find 'em,” “and sometimes we don't. cut all right unless we do. I called it an amvsemert to hunt for ‘em, but, sir, we would forcibly restrain a man, if we could, who was determined to start out alone.” ‘And what about fugitives?” Vhy, they just make for the most trackless parts of the woods. There's places that would make a dog turn back, the underground fs so thick and the fallen trees so plenty. These fellows just wiggle in somehow, driven by their fear, I s’pose, and scme diy when we cut down timber in a new place we come across their bones. Lest, crazed, starved to death!” “Strange, isn't it!” remarked Golding, deeply impressed. “I should think I was back in unexplored Africa.” “Did you come from Africa?” asked one of the younger’men, with increased respect for the traveler, but Dan was not to be turned from his discourse, which, next to human frailties, was on his favorite theme. ‘Africa!’ he said, with fine contempt. “I've never been there, but I've seen it on the maps, and I daresay Africa ain’t im it with the woods. The Adirondacks, sir, one of the monuments of America’s pi cipal greatness.” Heedless of the fronical sighs from the impertinent younger members of the group, Dan went on: “Here we are, sir, in a wilderness but faintly searred by the woodman’s ax, in the very heart of the empire state of the United States, sir, the most civilized coun- try on the face of the globe, and not much more’n 30) miles from the biggest city in the country, which I was there once twenty ‘S$ ago.” ‘Your observations are interesting and valuable,” said Mr. Golding, with perfect gravity. “If it wasn’t that you seem so certain that my man has gone to that cab- in for the night at least, I should feel that I was delaying dangerously. But then, Freeman understands a wilderness. Much as he might like to hide he wouldn't take chances.” “Your supper is ready,” said Sally New- comb, who had just crossed the road to find her guest. “All right, thank you,” cried the traveler, jumping up. “it won't take me five min- utes to get all I need, though that won't be doing justice, I know, to Mrs. New- comb’s cooking - However, I shall make up for that at breakfast. If somebody will be goud enough te show me the way to the cabin where my man has gone I shall be greatly cbliged. By the way, I may as well assure you that there is absolutely no dan- ger In the excursion. Freeman will come with me without a kick as soon as he sees wee The two who had volunteered at first were reinforced by pretty much the whole company when Golding was ready to start, for curiosity had been set on edge by his talk. “Really,” he said, as he looked them over on the steps of the store, “I am greatly obliged, but I’m afraid it won't do for so many to go. If there's any one thing that would make Freeman show fight it would be an appearance of trying to overcome continued Da: They don’t get “Shading the pane with his hand.” him by force. I'm sorry, gentlemen, and honored by. terest, but won't the two who to help me come along.

I have nothing to conceal in the matter, and yeu shall know the whole story as soon as we have found Freeman. Ha! He’ll be surprised!” Golding lapsed then into silence, and not even the ardent curiosity of the Granite men was strong enough to lead them to oe the reserve he seemed to throw about | im. o «© «© ¢« Nicholas Warren's horrifying announce- ment threw the household again into ex- treme agitation. Mrs. Warren was much more seriously affected than before. She staggered to her husband and threw her arms about him, peering with awful intent- ness into his wavering eyes. He, the vet- eran soldier, to whom death had been a ghastly commonplace, was now shrinking from the memory of what he had seen on Baker mountain. Had twenty-five years of peace so renewed the gentler qualities, so softened the habits of war, that he could not look without shock upon one poor vic- 4 tim of man’s violence?—he who had himself excused his action of an hour before by re- verting to the tendency of the soldier to make short shrift w:th an enemy? An en- emy! Martha Warren trembled and quailed be- fore the terrible thought, that would in- trude itself upon her mind, fight as she did against it. “Nicholas! My husband!” she whispered. He looked down at her wildly, and ther was no mistaking a dreadful exultation in his eyes, as if out of the shock and trouble of the moment he saw relief arising. * she repeated, “I must go to no,” he replied, hoarsely, and he made as If he would cast her arms aside, “a thousand times no! It is no fit sight for you. You are not called on for that!” “T must see him,” she insisted; “take me up the mountain." Elsie, appalled at the tragedy announced by her father, and unnerved by the extreme emotion it aroused in both her parents, had nestled closer to Will, feeling herself thrust apart from these strange, deep interests in She Raised Him Up. her family, and Will raged with vain re- grets that had not followed Mr. War- ren’s instructions literally and gone up the mountain himself in search of the visitor. “I could at least have kept !t to mysel: he though: “Martha,” began Mr. Warren desperate- ly, but she would not let nim spvak. “You forget, she interrupted almost sharply, “your duty as a man. He is dead, you say, dead! and you left him!” “There was nothing to be done,” he mut- tered, “you wouldn’t—” Then he stopped of his own accord and glanced apprehersively at the lovers. He was recovering his self-possession in a messure, while Mrs. Warren was growing more and more agitated. “Come, Martha,” he resumed _ hastily, “this is for you and me,” and he drew her with him into the kitchen. For a long time, as it seemed to the loy- ers, they remained ‘there debating In earnest but not contentious tones. Elsie and Will could only listen to the murmur of voices, wishing that it would cease, and dreading what might happen, or what might have to be done nexi. They were both thoroughly depressed now, and Will found few words of comfort ready for the pecr girl, whose hand lay cold in his “It is so dreadful not to know what it all n-eans,"”” she moaned, and to that feeling he could bring no relief. At last the voices ceased, and a moment later Will turned suddenly about. He looked through the window, shading the pare with his hand. Mr. and Mrs. War- ren had left the house by the kitchen door and were going through the yard to the read. Will hesitated an instant and then wert to the front door. “Excuse me,” he said, want me to go with you?” “No,” replied Mrs. Warren, that we should go alone.” Silently they turned into the little used road that led up the mountain, and in silence they groped their way up the ascent, Mr. Warren swinging a lantern to guide them from stones and protruding roots. The cabin was a long half mile away, and the road wound with many curves along the corrugated mountain side. The deserted cabin stood in a lateral depression, and had it been day they could not have seen it until they were close upon it. Husband and wife proceeded with heads bent down, not so much because of the weight upon their hearts as the better to pick their way. “Nicholas,"’ said Mrs. Warren presently, “it seems to m2 I smell smoke.” She had paused and raised her head. Be- fore them, a little to the right, she saw a faint glare over the tree tops. Mr. War- ren saw it also. “Martha!” he cried, appalled at the thought, “what if it should be Springer’s cabin!” Without reply she dashed past him, run- ning as she never ran before, and her hus- band, hurrying after with the lantern, call- ed upon her vainly to stop. If she heard him, it was but as a voice from a crowd when not all together. Nothing could have caused her to swerve from her course. On and on she ran, her lungs smarting with the exertion, her feet stumbling again and again on the cobbles of the rough, rainwashed road. At last the ground was more nearly level and she knew that she had come to the bend within which the cabin lay. Smoke filled her nostrils, the glare of a fire could be plainly distinguished through the foliage, it lit her path, she saw the tiniest branches on the trees, and had she not been wholly absorbed in straining for the first glimpse of the burning cabin she might have seen two glowing eyeballs, glaring down with reflected light from the thicket at her left. Had she seen them, would she have sup- posed that a deer had been attracted by the flame and was now gazing at it with the stupid surprise with which it waits at the margin of a lake for the hunter's bul- let? Perhaps so, but she saw rot the glow- ing eyes and she heard not the rustling among the leaves as some living thing has- tily withdrew The back part of the cabin was all ablaze and the flames roared. The front was but dimly alight with the little tongues of fire that had begun to lick it. “Martha!” cried Mr. Warren, in agony, “come back!” Heedless she rushed on; heedless of him, heedless of flame and smoke. She dashed open the cabin door and almost fell upon the man who lay near it on the floor. In her strong arms, doubly strong with excitement, she lifted him and bore him to the open air, laying him gently down upon the grass by the roadside. “Nicholas!” she cried, live: Her husband bent over them. It was true. The very heat of the fire may have revived him. At all events his eyes were open d the pupils moved. “but don’t you “it is better “he lives! he hi groaned Mr. Warren, have been better if he had died?

The Enterininment to Begin Decem» ber 4 and the Entire Club House Will Be Devoted to It. There was an euthusiastic meeting of the members of the executive committee hav-_ ing charge of the arrangements for the forthcoming fair and bazaar of the Colum- bia Athletic Club at the club house last night, and important steps were taken to- werd making the proposed entertainment unique in the artistic relation it will bear to similar events that have been held in this city, as well as successful in its sub- Stantial character. The committee, as is well known, consists of the chairmen of the various subcommittees, who will have the entire control of the preliminaries, as well as the direction of the fair when it begins, and these gentlemen reported the names of the other members of their committees who had been selected to help in the ap- plaudable work of relieving the leading athletic association of the south from pressing financial burdens. There was an interchange of views upon ~ the general subject of the fair, and each speaker dwelt upon the gratifying fact thet the Washington public was taking un- usual interest in the project. It was de- cided that the entertainment should be held from December 4 to December 14. in- ciusive, and that the entire club house should be devoted to the purpose. There will be an entertainment of a novel and en- jcyable character given each evening in the gymnasium, to be followed by dancing, and the committee on music was given complete control of this fine apartment for the purposes indicated. The music for these occasions will be under the charge of Professor Fanciulli, and the general desire on the part of the clubmen is that the Marine Kand shall be engaged.
