CHAPTER XXI Continued. 17 As he struggled forward, Impatient at these delays, lie came several times upon narrow, unguarded roads and crossed them; at other times the little wilderness which protected him t lawn changed suddenly to a where some great house with Its loomed garages and outbuildings ahead, nnd afraid to cross these open places, he was obliged to retrace his steps and find a way round. The distance from the bridge to the plnce where the men lie was following had got out of their motor, he had thought to be about two miles; but when he well-kep- had been traveling more than an hour, he had not yet reached it. Then, suddenly he came upon the road for which he was looking; somewhere to the east along It was the place he sought. lie crouched as near to the road ns he dared and where he could look up and down It. This being a main road, was guarded. A motorcar with armed men In It passed him, and presently repassed, evidently the road; Its lights showed him a man with a gun standing at the first bend of the road to the east. Eaton drew further back and moved parallel to the road but far enough away from It to he hidden. A quarter of a mile further he found a second man. The motorcar, evidently, was patrollng only to this point; another car was on duty beyond this. As Eaton halted, this second car approached, and wins halted, backed and turned. Its headlights swept through the woods nnd revealed Eaton. The man standing In the road cried out the alurin and fired at Eaton point blank; he fired a second and third time. Euton fled madly back Into the shadow; as he did so, he heard the men crying to one another and leaping from the car and following him. lie retreated to the woods, went further along and came bnck to the road, lying flat upon his face again and waiting till some other car In passing should give him light to see. Eaton, weak and dizzy from his wounds and confused by darkness and his struggle through the woods, had no exact Idea how long It ha$ taken him to get to this place; but he knew that It could have been hardly less than two hours since he had left Harriet. The men he was following, therefore, had that much start of him, and this made him wild with Impatience but did not discourage him. Ills own wounds, Eaton understood, made his escape practically Impossible, because any one who saw him would at once challenge and detain him ; and the other man was still more seriously wounded. It was not his escape that Euton feared; It was concealment of him. The man had been taken from the car because his condition was so serious that there was no hope of hiding It; Eaton thought he must he dead. He expected to find the body concealed under dead leaves, hurriedly hidden. The night had cleared a little; to the north, Euton could see stars. Suddenly the road and the leafless bushes at Its sides flashed out In the bright light of a motorcar passing. Eaton strained forward. He had found the place he sought; there was no doubt a car had turned off the road some time before and stopped there. The passing of ninny cars had so tracked the road that none of the men In the motors seemed to have noticed anything of signlticance there; but Eaton saw plainly In the soft ground at the edge of the woods the footmarks of two men walking one behind the other. When the car had passed, he crept forward In the dark and fingered the distinct heel and toe marks In the soft soil. For a little distance he could follow them by feeling; then as they led him Into the edge of the woods the ground grew harder nnd he could no longer follow them In thnt way. It was plain to him what had occurred ; two men had got out of the car here nnd had lifted out nnd carried away a third. He knelt where he could feel the last footsteps he could detect and looked around. The wound In his shoulder no longer bled, but the pain of It twinged him through and through; his head throbbed with the hurt there ; his feet were raw nnd bleeding where sharp roots nnd branches had cut through his socks and torn the flesh; his skin was hot nnd dry with fever, nnd his head swam. There was not yet light enough to see any distance, but Eaton, accustomed to the darkness and bending close to the ground, could discern the footmarks even on the harder soil. They led away from the road into the woods. On the rotted leaves and twigs was a dark stnln; a few steps beyond there was another. Eaton picking up a leaf nnd fingering it, knew that they were blood. So the man was not dead when he had been , lifted from the car. Hut he had been hurt desperately, was unable to help himself, was probably dying; If there had been any hope for him, his companions would not be carrying him in this way away from any cnance of gone very slowly, carrying this heavy weight. They had stopped frequently to rest and had laid their burden down. Then suddenly he came to a place where pluinly a longer halt had been made. The ground was trampled around this spot; when the tracks went on The they were changed In character. two men were still carrying the third a heavy man whose weight strained them and made their feet sink In deeply where the ground was soft. Hut now they were not careful how they curried him, but went forward merely as though hearing a dead weight. Now, too, no more stains appeared on the brown leaves where they had passed ; their burden no longer hied. Eaton, realizing what this meant, felt neither exultation nor surprise. He had known that the man they carried, though evidently alive when taken from the car, was dying. Hut now he watched the tracks more closely even than before, looking for them to show him where the men had got rid of their burden. It was quite plain what had occurred ; the wet sand below was trampled by the feet of three or four men and cut by a boats bow. They had taken the body away with them In the boat. To sink It somewhere weighted with heavy stones in the deep water? Eatons search was hopeless now. But It could not be so; It must not he so! Eaton's eyes searched feverBut ishly the shore and the lake. there was nothing in sight upon either. He crept bnck from the edge of the bluff, hiding beside a fallen log banked with dead leaves. What was it he had said to Harriet? I will come back to you as you have never known tne before He rehearsed the words in mockery. How would he return to her now? As he moved, a fierce, hot pain from the clotted wound in his shoulder shot him through and through with agony and the silence and darkness of unconsciousness overwhelmed him. 1 CHAPTER XXII Not Eaton Overton. Santolne awoke at five o'clock. The blind man felt strong and steady; he had food brought him; while he was eating It, his messenger returned. Santolne saw the man alone and, when he had dismissed him, he sent for his daughter. Harriet went up to him fearfully. The blind nmn seemed calm and quiet ; a thin, square packet lay on the bed beside him; he held It out to her without speaking. She snatched It In dread; the shape of the packet and the manner In which It was fastened told her It must be a photograph. "Open It, her father directed. "What Is It you want to know. Father? she asked. "That Is the picture of Eaton?" "Yes. I thought so." She tried to assure herself of the shade of the meaning In her fathers tone; but she could not. She understood thnt her recognition of the picture had satisfied him In regard to something over which he had seen In doubt; but whether this was to work In favor of Hugh and herself she thought of herself now Inseparably with Hugh or whether It threatened them, she could not tell. "Father, what does this mean? she cried to him. "What, dear? "Your having the picture. Where did you get It? "I knew where It might be. I sent for It." Hut but, Father It came to her now that her father must know Who who Hugh was. "I know who he Is now, her father said calmly. I will tell you when I can." "When you can? Where Is Avery? "Yes, he said. ns though his mind had gone to another subject Instantly. "He has not been In, I believe, since noon. "He Is overseeing the search for Eaton? "Yes. "Send for him. Tell him I wish to see him here at the house; he Is to remain within the house until I have seen him. Something In her fathers tone startled and perplexed her; she thought of Donald now only as the most eager nnd mo.-vindictive of Eaton's pursuer. Wn her father removing Donald from among those seeking Eaton? Wns he sending for him because what he had just learned was something which would make more rigorous and desperate the search? The blind man's look and manner told her nothing. "You mean Donald Is to wait here until you send for him, Father?" That Is It. It was the blind man's tone of dismissal. He seemed to have forgotten the picture; at least, as hts daughter moved toward the door, he gave no direction concerning It. She halted, looking back at him.

She knew why she, when she had gazed at the picture a few minutes before, had been disturbed and frightened at feeling it to be a kind of picture unfamiliar to her and threatening her with something unknown and terrible. She knew the reason now for a score of things Hugh had said to her, for the way he had looked many times when she had spoken to him. It explained all that ! It seemed to her, In the moment, to explain everything except one thing. It did not explain Hugh himself; the kind of man he was, the kind of man she knew him to be the man she loved he could not be a murderer! Her hands dropped from her face; she threw her head back proudly and triumphantly, as she faced now both Avery and her father. "He, the murderer of Mr. Latron I she cried quietly. "It Isnt so!"
