The man that made them must have been large and heavy, for his boot heel had dented deep into the floor boards, and the length of his stride indicated him to be little, if any, under six feet, The profusion of tracks, together with a number of haif-burned matches scat- tered about the floor, indicated that he had been there some time-—possibly several times, The woodsman found himself won- dering what manner of man he could have been, and what hls purpose. And why did he bring a lamp instead of a candle? Lamps wére none too plenty in the Flatwoods, Again there came over him that strangely disquieting premonition of danger—Iintangible; int definable; deadly deliberate, Everything pointed to the conclusion that the cabin's unknown visitor would come again—probably with the night. The lamp on the box, the blanket ready to hang over the window, were not without a purpose. What that purpose might prove to be could only be con- jectured—possibly horse stealing. But no, or why a lamp instead of a candle? He glanced up at the loft—except for a few boards lying loose and scat- tered about upon the joists, the cabin was open to the roof; he looked around into the dim far corner back of the door—it was half filled with a clutter of rubbish, broken boxes and the like—but no tracks led that way. Using the greatest care to conceal his footprints, he opened the door, stepped cautiously out, closed it and, after a critical look about the sun rounding weeds and bushes, slipped away up the side of the timbered bluff, through the woods and back to his un- finished chores, After a hasty supper, he drew out his revolver; bent over it a brief but thoroughly competent Instant of In- spection by the candle; tried the trig- ger-pull; twirled the cylinder; dropped it back in the holster; blew out the candle and laid his hand to the door- latch. The warning of the mountain girl crossed his mind closed the hearth of the cook stove to hide its light: opened the door softly and stepped out into the gathering night toward the dead woodchopper's cabin, The cloud-bank had dissolved in the west when he again reached the lil omened hovel and the sky was hang- Ing out its stars-—the big ones already out, and the little ones coming. He again crept down the wooded face of the bluff and, under cover of the fallen oak, festooned with the wild cucumber vines, stole up to the chink in the wall and peeped between logs. of its unknown intruder, After listening Intently for the door, pushed it slowly open and entered. As soon as his eyes grew ac customed to the gloom, he saw that the room was just as he had left It a few Not daring to venture out on the risk hiding his trail by stepping in the tracks, he reached up, caught one of swinging from hand to concealed himself behind the old the exertion had opened the gash, and he could feel the blood crawling down his side. There is something depressing, fear. some, about entering an old deserted house—espedcially after nightfall. And this was the cabin of dead Henry Spencer. Few flatwoodsmen would care to go near It-—much less Into it— at such an hour. Jack watched the last faint light from the west dle out in the smudged window--so foul with clay that he had not been able to make out more than the bare outline of the face that had peered through it a few hours before, He knew the bats were darting about in the cabin, for the dark was alive with the click of thelr teeth. A screech owl shivered his lonesome wall from an upstanding branch of the fallen oak. The woodsman half started, listened closely, smiled. The sound was genu- ine—it was a screech owl. The low wash of Eagle run, lapping the rocks In its shallow bed, came up across the lonely road; the melan- choly note of a whippoorwill carried down out of the woods, A sound fell upon the night--the low swish of weeds in the yard-and the woodsman grew tense and stand. There followed a gugrded footfall; hand fumbled’ over the door. It opened; a heavy step creaked the sagging floor; a form bulked huge and black In the gloom; a hand and arm passed across the window and hung the blanket Into place, A match seraped-—one of the old: fashioned kind that sputter a while before making much light—the chim- ney of the lamp was raised; the match lald to the wick. Out of the dark flared the powerful form and truculent face of—Black Bogus, After a somewhat close study of the tracked floor, he went around on the other side of the lamp to the ruined hearth, lifted up a loosened slab of stone and felt under it, M Apparently what he expected to find was not there, for he swore, put the slab hack, rose and slouched across the floor toward the rubbish heap. The man hiding behind It crouched still as one of the cabin logs and fingered the pistol butt at his hip. But the ruf- flan only rummaged out an old box, carried it back to the light and sat down, Drawing a short pipe from his pocket, he filled it from a grimy to- bacco sack, lighted It with another of the sppttering matches, and, with the alr of A man quite at his ease, began to smoke, As he smoked, the bitter lines of his face relaxed a trifle, and Its half haunting resemblance to a face that dwelt—and would ever dwell—in his memory again stole across the mind of the watcher. But Black Bogus had not smoked long until it became apparent that he was anything but a man at his ease. Every sound outside received his strained attention, and when not lis tening, he smoked viclously, At last he felt of his elbow where It had rested the arm across his knee, bent forward and seemed lost in thought. Shifting his pose after a time, he straightened, put away his pipe, reached Into the Inside pocket of his faded coat and drew out a thick bunch of greenbacks--a handful bills that appeared to be an assort- ment of tens and twenties, The woodsman guardedly As he did so, his knee accidentally jostled the rubbish heap. With an oath Black Bogus chucked Bogus, the window, a8 heavy revolver balanced in his band, his eyes sweeping every nook and cranny from which the alarming sound might have come. At that tense instant a bat, darting the rafters, biinded by the light, dashed Itself against the cabin gable and fell almost at the des perado’s feet, “Damn the thing!" he growled, plac- ing his foot upon the half-stunned creature and grinding it to death, at the same time thrusting the heavy re. volver Into his pocket and turning back to the light. He slouched down on the smaller box ; took the money out of his pocket again and began a close inspection of Ten of the bills watching him to be the newest laid out upon the box. put back in his pocket, Then an astonishing thing happened to the ten new bills. He took from his greasy, wrinkled trousers a plug of tobacco and snipped off a chew with his powerful teeth; drew from the side pocket of his coat half a handful of what looked to be ordinary black soll of rotted leaf mold; mols tened It very slightly with tobacco juice; rubbed a little of It on each bill and scoured them between his hands, rumpling and crumpiing them in every concelvable way. He rolled the corners between his fingers and thumbs; bent the corners down : twist. ed and scoured the bills as If he would wear them out. It soon appeared that to wear them was the very thing he was attempting to do, for as he worked them and broke them In his powerful hands, they lost thelr newness and took on the look of bills that had been long in circulation. He was making old money out of new. Light began to dawn on the man watching him. An hour or more he spent at the task, When at last it appeared to be finished to his satisfaction, he exam- ined them all closé to the light, bill by bill They appeared to pass the very painstaking and critical Inspection, for, with a satisfled grunt, he picked up his pipe, relighted It and smoked nervously. Another hour or more he smoked and fidgeted ; finally turned the lamp low; strode to the door, opened it a narrow slit and peeped out. But apparently enough of the night had not gone for whatever purpose he had In mind, for with a muttered grunt, he closed the door; strode Im- patiently back and forth across the he The others he floor a time or two; slouched down upon the box and, without turning up the light, again hunted his pipe. It must have been well toward mid- night, and the cramped position of the man behipd the rubbish heap had grown almost unbearable, when, after many peeps through the narrow slit at the door, Black Bogus blew out the light and very softly slipped out of the cabin. The woodsmen rose, listened to the low swish of Black ‘Bogus’ receding steps among the weeds until there carpe the creak of the ralls as he climbed the fence Into the Eagle Hol- low read. Opening the door with the utmost caution, Jack slipped out and stood listening—the steps had turned down the road toward the village. He closed the door and followed, He had not ghadowed the renegade far until it became plainly evident that he was a very IAdifferent woodsman, Sticks snapped under his feet, bushes slapped back into place as he brushed against them, and once or twice his boot struck the grqund with a clumsy thud, Clear down to the mouth of the hollow Jack stalked him, He took the path that led along the east bank of the stream, and, when he came to the fork, followed the branch that led to { the litte park.
