Tho two travelers followed .the trail

"Well," coitifi on," the old ex-
sailor grunted, and they started over
the frozen river. When nearly across
they discovered people running about
In great excitement and loud, cries,
mingled with wh'lch was tho' shriek
of fi femalo voice. Tihen came the re-
port of a gun, followed; by two or three
more In quick succession.
"Ho! Clarence, glt"d fnove on ye

ed Lackland across the river, but did
not' sea him meet Cummins. Know-
ing it would "bo some hours before he
would return, ho did not consider
haste necessary.
"Wo Nvlll bo gone, my dear child,
before that man returns," ho said, In
a kind, fatherly way, that won the
heart of tho girl.
"What do you propose?" she asked
eagerly.
"Across this frozen river, tho Ice of
wbjch will bear your weight, as I
have tested it myself, we will find a
deep, dark cavern. Now, wo will
cross the river and I ' leave' you
there "
".Why leave mo there? Why 'not
take mo on to Paul?" she asked.'-
. "Becausa you would be a hindrance
to. my rescuing him. No, no! You.
must consent,, to' stay In .tho cavern
.or wo will have to abandon the pro-'
Jcct of rescuing Paul."
"I will I wl do anything."
They begun the search' for capsules,
lozenges and buttons of compressed
and desslcated -food, which' took up
little space and tho 'weight trifling,
in comparison to the original food.
All this took time, and there .came
one delay after another, until hours
had glided by before' they wero reaoy
to depart. At last everything '" was
rea,dy. ' .
"Now, my dear child, wo are ready
to go. I hopo you won't 'And thi3

"Hark! I hear footsteps approach-
ing!" "Some ono comes!" she gasped,
turning deathly pale.
The men .approaching the house
wero Lackland, with' Cummins, Allen,
Padgett and Ambrose. They had seiz-
ed pine knot torches and were creep-
ing stealthily toward tho tent, Tho
keen eye of tho hermit had seen them
and ho hastily' formed a little barri-
cade, behind which bo crouched, a
revolver In each hand..
"Ho, there!" called the hermit cap-
tain.' "Don't advance. too near until
you explain what your mission is!"
, "My .mission is to get to my tent,"
Interposed Lackland. "Who are you
who presumes to tcko our camp from

""Keep oft I"
Ono of tho men bohlnd Ned fired at
tho old captain nnd the bullet grazed
tho top of his cap.
"You got him!" shouted Ned.
"Wo'yo-got him this time!" and
struck a. blow at his head with his
knotted stick. The stick fell o.n the
sled' runner and there came a blind-
ing flash, a stunning report from the
.door of tho" tont. Ned staggored back
and fell to tho earth. For a moment"
his companions were appalled. Tom

tain, but tho mutineer was oxciMd

Paul was dumbfounded., Ho had
heard a hint that tno hermit was his

"Why did you deny X was your son
