Then he rolled painfully on hia back and felt something hard under hie head and laid hia hand on tha shaft of tho club he had carried. He got to his knees and stood up, gasping for breath; and hia feet sank deeper in water and oft mire. He looked up and saw the aky round bote ' Ave or six through feet acrooa, edged with grass, tho long stuff broken by hia fall hanging down1 into tha hole. The bote waa a full thirty feet above hia head. He called Peter name, shouting it as loudly as ha could with what breath hia Jolted lungs could catch; ha shouted again and again, till ho saw something move at the edge of too bote above him, saw Peters head projected against tha aky, heard Peter cry: "Dick!

Peter must have reached the boats by this time. Probably the men were just sliding a boat into the water, shipping their oars. Peter would drive them, make them hurry. Richard sat down agate, forcing himself to relax, to stop thinking about Peter. Peter would get here ai soon as he could. Richard lay down on his back, hia arm under hie head, watching that hole above him, and the gray sky from which A man rate agate descended. watching that hole, waiting and waiting for the head of a rescuer to appear, could go crazy. Richard dragged hia eyes away from He studied the inside at hia prison, forcing himself to wander about its origin. The fire which dug this hole in toe peat must have burned for years, eating its way down and down till it came to hard pan. He asked himself, aloud: Why didnt rain put it out? He wondered how long a man would live in this wet cold that bit hia bones. The thought made him shiver, and he got up to warm himself again. Everywhere the soft ash under hia feet was honeycombed by the little mice of fire that had eaten tunnels in it; and hia feet sank into it halfway to hia knees. He hated the feeling, stopped walking, beat his chest with his arm. Richard thought he would be glad to leave Hoakes Bay forever. Now and then, in the back ot his mind, like a watching, beckoning figure, Mary appeared. He shut hie thoughts against her. He must put her out of his mind, keep her out at hie mind. Forever. Peter would come soon. Surely he would come soon. Richard decided they might even now be hunting tor him, up there. He began to shout He realised suddenly that he was screaming like a maniac;. and ha topped in shams at himself, and coo trolled his voice, and thereafter he hallooed almost decorously, at regular intervals. But now ha watched the opening above him without respite, never taking hie eyes away from it. It must be an hour (taco Peter left him here. He refused to admit to himself that more than an hour had gassed. When toe aky grew darker, he argued desperately that this waa merely a thickening of the clouds. That waa not merely thickening cl the clouds above him. It was dusk. Night was coming on. It had been early in the afternoon when he fell into the pit; so now he must have been here five hours or six. In any dreadful crisis, a man must make for himself a formula. Richard had no illusion! about Peter; but to believe that Peter had returned board the Venturer and sailed away, leaving him here in this pit to die, would mean quick madness and despair. Richard waa of that breed of man which does not despair, which does hot surrender. He found a formula. Ha decided to believe that Peter, on hia way back to tha ship, had fallen into n pit like this ona. Ha decided to believe that Peter too waa a prisoner. Tha man must be hunting for them now. Night waa coming on; but good Mat Forbei would keep the men hunting all night (TO BE CONTINUED ) it He realised eaddealy that he waa screaming like a maniac.
