CHAPTER III.
Weymouth now bethought himself of
his two sleeping companions, and espec
ially of the mysterious occupant of the
curtained 1d. Ho leaned over and
took the bottle from the henrtlf and
pretended to take a long drink. He
saw the curtains move again and felt
that there were eyes behind them.
The house was very still, there was a
dtiH droning of wind In the chimney.
Weymouth smacked his lips and
Whltled another bar of his tune.
"I'll soon see who you are lying there
ready to rob me, or to open the door to
those who will," he said undw his
breath as he reached for the guttering
candle that stood on the mantel shelf.
With the bottle stHl In his other hand
he went to Rogers and tried to wake
him. Insisting that they must soon be
starting, and loudly offering the en
couragement of more drink or more
pay, as If he were possessed by a be
sotted man's generosity. Rogers was
In a, stupor, not asleep,, and presently
Weymouth crossed the room to the
other bed; but one thing meanwhile
had been made plain. The candle had
chone Into the dark corner of the cell
ing and revealed what his eyes had
anxlouflly sought for as he sat waiting
with forced patience by the Are. A
wide board had been nailed from one
heavy beam to another of the celling,
making a shelf into which something
was crowded that dropped over the
edge In unmlstakeable folds; to make
sure he reached to touch It and his

hand was entangled among the cords
of a new net.
There was only one thing to do; a
man did not wish to frighten an old
daf and crippled body, but a careful
look would do no harm, and though his
heart thumped for the first time, he
s

threw open the curtains. There was
only a decent old cap with white bord
ers, and a face turned away Into the
pillows.. For ah intttant he looked down
compassionately and with a sense of
relief, the newt Instant ho saw at the
foot of the bed among the bedclothes,
which were strangely disarranged, the
large muddy riding boots of a man.
"Poor old granny!" he laughed aloud,
as If he were unconscious of being be
sieged, and were growing more foolish
and comfortable every moment with his
drink. "A little grog won't do'ee no
harm. I'll rouse the old mother and
give. her a taste o' gin. She looks a bH
blue and cold. Too old anyway to be
on the road such weather." He brought
the bottle hastily from' beside Rogers,
and bent down close to the cap. "Rise
up now granny, an' take a taste!" he
counseled her, persuasively. '"Twill
warm'ee, dear,
There- was a moment of hesitation,
and Weymouth lifted the becapped
head and held the bottle to the Hps.
The attack was too sudden and unex
pected; the watcher was, for some rea
son, not ready to declare himself or to
provoke an open quarrel; the light was
dim, and with much choking and spill
ing the liquor went down an unwilling
throat.
As the peaceful figure with Its grand
motherly cap recognized the bitter
dram and rose with fury, a straight
blow from Weymouth's fist and two or
three more that followed, laid the dis
arranged headgear back among the
pillows, and stunned Its wearer into
harmtessnens. Then Weymouth pulled
the net from Its shelf, after dropping
the bottle as If It had fallen from a
tipsy man's hand, and, catching the
stout tongs from the fireplace, he hur
ried to the window and opened It softly.
It looked far to the ground, but he has
tily pushed out the loose armfuls of the
net and heard them drop softly, then,
fastening a stout twist of the end about
the bars of the tongs and bracing them
across the corner, he got out of the
window, li't himself down, let go the
window-Bill, and lowered away down
by stretching loops and tangles, bump
ing and swinging life a pendulum
against the stone walls until he came
to the ground.
It was a breathless beginning of a
most uncertain Journey, yet while Wey
mouth sat for a moment on the narrow
ledge of rocky ground the freedom and
freshness of the winter night seemed
sweet enough, after the damp and chill
of the room he had left. Such Is human
nature, the alternate prey of fear and
careless pleasure.
Weymouth could hear no footsteps,
he could see but dimly the steep road
above at his right, below, the hill was
steeper still, and looked perilous as he
started to find his way down. Even a
man who Is bold nt heart feels all the
Instincts and stenlthlness when he Is a
hunted man, the prey Instead of the
pursuer. At this Instant there came a
faint sound from the roadway close by.
There wus something moving. There
was the lenst sound like a hlAs, and
then one pebble was tapped agalnt an
other as he still crept downward. Ills
heart seemed to stop a gust of wind
caught the light net and swished It
to and fro against the house, He flat
tened himself against the ground 'and
clutched the sod with his fingers, then
he dropped one foot slowly over the
edge to find the shelf below. The buiv
den of the wallet hindered him so that
he longed to get rid of It. Suddenly
he heard an eager whisper;
"This way! Come this wayl Wey
mouth!" 1 1 ;
The dim shape showed Itself plainer
now above him. A woman knelt a.t the
wall above, reaching down' to give him
a hand whose touch he well knew; He
quickly found his footing now and was
helped, up the steep scramble and stood
With her In the road. , ' . . '
"Come, come," she urged In a' whis
per, "they will be keen after us! .'tis for
your life!" -
She started off Instantly down the
hill toward the water and he followed.
They were running on turf, not gravel,
and made no sound. As he ran by her
side she pushed htm back Impatiently,
'Keep away, don t come near!" she
said. "Hurry, for heaven's sake!1! ., i "
As they reached the low ground the
light figure' that flitted before Wey
mouth led him into a path that ran low
down on the landward side of the dyke,
which must have been made partly, by
cattle and partly by men who shielded
themselves from the fierce north winds
of winter which blew across the water.
Two figures could easily have been
seen in the smooth path that ran along
the dyke top, but here they were shel
tered and the silent guide took a slower
pace as they passed some thickets of
osiers. Once she stopped and motioned
to him and crept up the dyke side.
Weymouth followed, and they saw that
they were nearly abreast of the fishing
smack or smuggler If such she were.
There was a boat Just leang her, a
lantern was held for an instant over
the side and then was hidden again.
Weymouth looked back at the house on
the height; they were now perhaps half
a mile away. There were no lights In
the windows, even In that which he
hud left, but. by this time the wretched
guttering candle would have melted
and sucked Itself Into extinction. With
out a word they both stepped back to
the path aguln, and ran on until the
leader turned from the dyke across a
wide ditch which was bridged by some
unsteudy planks. The meadow was wet
under foot, they lost and found again a
narrow causeway that led among the
upland fields and presently stopped to
take breath beside an overgrown
hedge.
"lie still,", said the woman, anxiously,
for Weymouth forgot everything ex
cept that they were lovers. "Bpeak
soft!" and she moved away a little, but
still left her hand In his. "A Voice car
ries far In this mist; we are not out of
danger yet."
She was panting for breath; the'y hnd
come nearly a mile at a fine, steady
pace for the most part. There was a
singing in Weymouth's ears as he
unified the strap of his pouch to the
other shoulder; to Bee her agin was
worth whatever might befall.
'"Twos a hard day's ride," he said,
boyishly, "and here I'm on the road
again."
'"TIs a mercy, then!" Bald the woman,
roughly, but the mother that Is In
every wife has mercy for the boy that
Is In every husband, and she and Wey
mouth were lovers, and so. she began to
pity him.
"I brought a bit of bread and cheese,
dear, here In my apron," she said. "I
almost forgot It, but don't stop to eat
It now. 'Twas poor housing for you,
Ood pity me!"
' He had left her stern and cold two
days before, and the wistful love she
now betrayed was more to Weymouth
than any danger, past, present or to
come. It must be that she had for
gotten her unkind decision, but at the
first word of an eager question she left
his side and hurried up the long slope.
The heavy leather pouch chafed and
lamed Its carrier's side, but, worse than
that, unhappy forebodings took the
spirit out of his heart. The whole ad
venture seemed unreal, danger and as
sistance were both alike strange events,
a play which developed Itself before
his eyes. Weymouth was light-headed
for. the moment, and neither his own
safety nor the gold's appeared to be
Important, while the whole happiness
of his life was at stake. ,
A mite or two away the old Inn Btood
up against the dark sky like a dismal
prison. There were lights about it
now,' as If there were some stir and ex
citement. The escaped man drew a long
breath and hastened forward to over
take his companion. . '".'
"What shall I do?" he asked. "I have
no horse, and I must reach Bristol by
dawn. I have spent my life with horses,
but this one was like a brother. ' Well,
I must leave him to their mercy. We
should have been in Bristol now, (or
the sailing of a ship."
"You were led astray," said she, ;
' ,-' ' ..
speaklngoverhershoulder as he walked
close behind.
"By whom, then?"
"By Rogers; they have trusted too
long at the bank; he has been waiting
his chance, and has been in league
with with these people," she faltered.
"Let us make haste."
"I thought you meant to hall the ves
sel," said Weymouth. "They could
have set round intd Brletol."
"Do you not see that the wind has
fallen?" answered his companion.
he Left llcr Hand in His.
"Folks have been dropped overboard
from that craft before now. The Severn
Is deep and wide enough to hide many
a man with a stone fast to his neck."
A bain they walked on for Borne time
without speaking, but at the foot of a
long ridge of land with a hedge at the
top, she stopped once more and whis
pered in his ear.
'We must do something Bold now,"
she said; "that Is the road above us."
Weymouth Btood like a soldier wait
ing for his orders.
'There Is an Inn close by U9 at the
path's end. 'TIs no palace, yet not a
den of thieves like that," and she
pointed back to the shore. "To let you
escape may bring down the law on their
heads. If they have not seen Borne one
here already, they will do It soon. They
Will not let you get away so easily," she
said, faltering again. "No one has es
caped them yet who could tell tales,"
and she sobbed In Bplte or nerseir anu
h-l him take her Into his arms. .Her
strength had broken at last. "Promise
me something," she said, and he prom
ised In love and pity.
"It 1b my shame and doom, she said,
when she could speak." I oannot marry
an honest man. They are my own people,-
my nearest kin, these murderers
and thieves. But they are. going to
Amerlca,thelr passage Is already taken.
Next week all will be at an. end. Let
them go free; they took me an orphan
and bred me up kindly. 'TIs as good as
any banishment, l nave promisea 10
go with them; It Is my only hope and
prayer to help them save their souls by
honest living. In a new country."
She was wild and piteous now with
her kisses and entreaties. "Oh, my
man, I cannot be your snamer sne
cried like one whose nerves were ailing
and whose distress was more than
could Je borne, "You do not know
you do not know; 'twas worse with
them while I had gone away!"
"Then I must follow you," said the
troubled man, trying to comfort her.
"You are more than ever the wife for
me."
Her face shone In the dark with
whiteness; she stood before him and
pushing him back with a firm hand her
manner wholly changed.
"Listen to me" she stopped a mo
ment while they both heard a horse's
tread coming along the highway.
"Whatever, horse that may be, If the
rider stops at the inn you must be
ready to take It and ride on."
She rapidly told him to find his way
where the road divided Just beyond,
and they hurried together up the Inst
steep rise of ground. The horse was
coming at a galop.
"Good heavens! . I believe Its my
own, "said Weymouth, ready to rush
out in the middle of he road. The low
building of the Inn was opposite and
there were lights In the window. They
stood under the eaves of a bushy hedge
as the rider came up and .stopping his
horse, gave a. call. The quick-witted
woman pushed Weymouth under the
Ivy tod and ran out and caught the
bridle.
"He came by the fields! Look In the
Inn kitchen!" she said aloud, triumph
antly. ,
"I'll mind your horse. Quick now!"
Bhe Insisted, and the rider leaped to
ground, pleased at an ally, and had
hardly opened .the Inn door when Wey
mouth, safe In his own saddle, rode
away free as a bird down the Bristol
road. j
