liapiiened the scene utiou the rocu
when he first met Jeanne, the nriiul
of the ship, the moment's tableau on
tho pier when Jeanne and Klleen stood
, face to face rushed upon him now as
he Kiuecl down Into tho starlnu eves
at his feet. What did It all mean
Why had lxnl Kltzhuuh's name been

What Blirnlficnnce was there In thl
BtraiiBe combination of circumstances

himself? Had there been truth after

pressed upon the falntlUB senses of

He waited to answer none of the
questions that leaped throush 1H
brain. Tomorrow some one would
f.nd Pierre, or Pierre would crawl
down Into Churchill. And then there
would be the dead man to account for
He shuddered as he returned bis re
volver Into his holster and braced his
limbs. It was an unpleasant task. bu
he knew that It must be done- to
save Pierre. He lifted the body clear
of the rocks, and bendlnn under Its
weight carried it to the eiU;e of the
cliff. I'"nr below sounded the wash
of the sea. He shoved his burden
over the edge, nnd listened. After a
moment there came a dull splash.
Then he hastened on, as Pierre had
guided him,
CHAPTER X
s
OOX Philip slackened his pace and
looked anxiously ahead of him
l-'rom where he stood the cliff sloped
down to u white strip of beach that
reached out into the nisht as far as
he could see, hemmed close In by the
black Bloom of the forest. Halfway
down the slope the moontleht was
cut by a dark streak, and he found
this to be the seconil break. He bad
no difficulty in descendlnc. Its sides
were smooth, as thouuli worn by
water. At the bottom white, dry sand
slipped under his feet. He made his
way between the walls, and darkness
-hut him In. The trail Kiew roueher.
Near the shore he stumbled blindly
nmons liuce rocks and piles of crumb
llnir slate, wondering why Jeanne and
Pierre had come this way when they
might have taken a smoother road. 1
Close to the stony lieach. where the
light was a little better, he made out
the canoe which Pierre had drawn
Into the shadows.
Not until he had dragged It into
the moonlight at the edge of the
Cautiously Philip launched himself,
id with silent sweeps of the paddle
and
that made scarcely the sound of a
lipple In the water set out In tin
direction of Churchill. Jeanne's cap
tors had a considerable) start of him,
but he felt confident of his ubillu
to overtake them short lj if Pierre had
spoken with truth when he said that
they would head for the Churchill
Hlver. He had observed the caution
with which Pierre's assailants had ap
proached the cliff, and ho was sure
that they would double that caution
In their return, especially as their at
tack had beert interrupted at tho last
moment. For this reason he paddled
without great haste, keeping well with.
In the concealment of tho precipitous
shore, with his ears and eyes keenly
nllvo to illscmor a sign of those who
were ahead of him
Opposite the rock where Pierre and
Jeanno were to hao met him ho
stopped and stood up In tho canoe,
The wind had dispelled the miioUh
shadow. Uetween him and the distant
ship lay an unclouded s.m. Two-thirds
of the distance to tho vessel he made
out the larger e.inoe. rising and falling
with the smooth undulations of the
tide. He sank upon Ills knees again
and unstrapped Pierre's rill". There
"'was a cartridge in the chamber. He
made sure that tin- magazine was
loaded, nnd resumed his paddling.
Ills mind worked rapidly. Within
half an hour, if lie desired, ho could
overtake the other canoe. And wiint
then? There were threo to on". If It
came to a fight and how could lie
rescue Jeanne without 11 fight'.' His
blood was pounding eagerly, utmost
with pleasure nt the promise of what
wa"s ahead of him, and he. laughed
softly to himself as he thought of the
odds.
The ship loomed nearer: the canoe
vanished behind It. A brief stop, a
dozen words of explanation, and Philip
knew that he could securo assistance
from the vessel. After ull. would thu'
not be the wisest course for him to
pursue? For a moment ho hesitated,
and paddled mo,-o slowly. If others

EVERYDAY STUFF
The Quarrynian
The quarryman I've never met.
I here and now confess it.
It really doesn't matter yet
I know his worfc and bless it.
For though we walk the narrow
path
Or wabble on the wide walk,
Sermons lit stones we know he
hath
We trace them on tho sidewalk.
The quarrjman Is doubtless rough
But still a useful neighbor.
He's got to be of hardy stuff
To do such heavy labor.
lie may have dollars put away,
I'm glad lf he has got 'em.
At fortune he may plc.k but, say!
He's solid at rock bottom!
Tho quarryman does work clean
cut
And useful to the nation.
He does not dream of empire, but
He gives It a foundation.
And sure as after light comes dark
And sooth may follow Jesting,
He's working now on stone to mark
One's final place of resting.

Peggy nnd Hilly began to got ft bit
nervous. Hut after a while there camo a
scrambling noise from the tunnel where
Lonesomo Hear had been asleep nnd tho
bear dragged the Giant out on the shelf.
"Tell Lonesome Bear I'm much
obliged to him for saving me, even If
ho did nlmost scare me to death,"' said
tho Olant, Then, tired as ho was, ho
turned his attention to the gold In tho
roof of tho caern. "How aro wo golns
to get it, he asked,
"Tou might climb tho walls," suggest,
ed Prince Bonnlo Blue Hell.
"And break my neck; no, thank
you," said tho Olant
"Or fly," suggested Trlnca Bonnie
Blue Bell.
"Too risky," declared tho Giant. "I'll
stay on solid land after this. Isn't
there some safe way to get that gold?"
"Gold hunting Is always risky," said
Prince Bonnie Blue Bell, "but thero Is
a safe way to find a fortune."
"What Is It?" asked 'the Olant
eagerly.
"That I cannot say," was tho answer,
"hut I'll tell you a story nnd If you aro
wise you will find tho secret In m'y
tale."
"Tell It to us, quickly," urged the
Olant and Prince Honnlo Blue Bell sat
down to begin his story.
