Eve pickéd up her rifle, She was trembling violently, Then, mastering her emotion, she walked over to the pack, placed Quintana's rifle and' mackinaw in it, coolly hoisted it to" her shoulders and buckled it there, A Over her shoulder she kept an eye on Quintana who crouched where he had fallen, unstirring, his deadly eyes watching her, Bhe placed the muzzle of her rifle against his stomach, rested it so, holding it with one hand, and her finger at the trigger. At her brief order he turned out both breeches pockets, She herself stooped and drew the Sponish clasp- knife from its sheath at his belt, took & pistol from the holster, another out of his hip pocket. Reaching up and behind her, she dropped these into the pack A “Maybe,” she said slowly,” “your ankle is broken. I'll send somebody from Ghost Lake to find you. Buu whether you've a broken bone or not you'll not go very far, Quintana. . . . After I'm gone you'll be able to free yourself. But you can't get away. You'll be followed and caught. . . . Bo if you can walk at all you'd better 80 in to Ghost Lake and give you self up. . . . It's that or starvatiof. + . . You've got a watch. . . Don't stir or touch that trap for half an hour. . . . And that's all.” As she moved away toward the Drowned Valley trail she looked back’| at him. His face was bloodless but his black eyes blazed. “If" ever you come into this forest again,” she said, “my father will surely kill you.” To her horror Quintana slowly grinned at her. Then, still grinning, he placed the forefinger of his left hand between his teeth and bit it. Whatever he meant by the gesture it seemed unclean, horrible; and the girl hurried on, seized with an over- whelming loathing through " which a sort of terror pulsated like evil pre- monition in a heavy and tortured heart. ; Straight into thé fire of dawn she sped. A pale primrose light glim- mered through the woods; trees, bushes, undergrowth. turned a dusky purple.. Already the few small clouds overhead were edged with fiery rose. Then, of a sudden, a shaft of flame played over the forest. The sun had risen. Hastening, she searched the soft path for any imprint of her father's foot. ' And even in the vain search she hoped to find him at home— hurried on. burdened with two rifies and a pack, still all nervous and aquiver from “her encounter with Quintana. Surely, surely, she thought, if he had ‘missed Quintana in Drowned Valley he would not linger in that .ghastly place; he’d come home, call in his men, take counsel, perhaps— Mist over Star Pond was dissolving to a golden powder in the blinding glory of the sun, The eastern win- dow panes in Clinch’'s Dump glittered as though the rooms inside were all on fire. * Down through withered weeds and shrubs she hurried, ran acros s the + grass ‘to the kitchen door which lwun“?jnr under its porch. “Dad!" she called, “Dad!" Only her own frightened ‘echoed in the empty house. She ‘climbed the stairs to his room. The bed lay undisturbed as she had made it. He was not in any of the rooms; there were no signs of him. Slowly she descended to the kitch- en, He was not there.

Probably, since Quintana had eluded him, he'd come home for something to eat, Surely, now that Quintana had escaped, Clinch would come back for hreakfast, Eve slipped the pack from her back and laid it on the kitchen table, There was kindling In the wood-box, She shook down the cinders, laid a fire, soaked it with kerosene, lighted it, filled the kettle with fresh water, In the pantry, she cut some ham, and found eggs, condensed milk, but- ter, bread, and an apple ple, After she had ground the coffee she placed all thewe on a tray and carried them into the kitchen. Now there was nothing more to do T “THEY ARE CARRYING HIM ouUT." until her father came, and she sat down by the kitchen table to wait. Outside the sunlight was becoming warm and vivid. There had been no frost after all—or, at most, merely a white trace in the shadow—on a fallen plank here and there—but not enough to freeze the ground. And, in the sunshine, it all quickly turned to dew, and glittered and sparkled in a million hues and tints like gems— Ilike that handful of jewels she had poured into her father's joined palms ~—yesterday—there at the ghostly edge of Drowned Valley. At the memory, and quite mechani- cally, she turned in her chair and drew Quintana’s basket pack toward her. Firat’ she lifted out his rifle, ex- amined it, set it against the wirdow sill. Then, one by one, she drew out two pistols, loaded; the murderous Spanish clasp-knife; an ax; a fry-pan and a tin pail, and the rolled-up mackinaw. Under these the pack seemed to contain nothing except food and am- munition; staples in sacks and a few cans—lard, salt, tea—such things. The cartridge boxes she piled up on the table; the food she tossed into a tin swill bucket. About the effects of this man ft seemed to her as though something unclean lingered . She could scarcely bear to handle them—threw them from her with disgust. The garment, also—the heavy brown and green mackinaw-—she dis- liked to touch. To throw it out doors was her intention; but, as she lifted the coat, it unrolled and some things fell from the pockets to the kitchen table—money, keys, a watch, a flat leather case— She looked stupidly at the case. had a coat of arms on it. Still, stupidly and as though dazed, she laid one hand on it, drew it to her, opened it. ' The Flaming Jewel blazed in her face amid a heap of glittering gems. Still she seemed slow to compre- hend—as though understanding were It was when her eyes fell upon the paralyzed. watch that her heart seemed to stop.

When she came to her senses she found herself ougside the house, run- ning with her rifle, already entering the woods. Rut, inside the barrier of trees, something blocked her way, stopped her—a man—her man! “Eve! In God's name!—" he said as she struggled in his arms; but she fought him and strove to tear her body from his embrace: “They've killed Daa!" she panted— “Quintana killed him, ' I didn't know —oh, I didn’t know!—and T let Quin- tana go!
