She made her way through hriars to the spot. Her own dog, a large hound, was giving vent to its feel- ings with a small dog beneath its {ore-paws. The smaller dog kept up a. whining and up on the approach of Mrs. Gilbert crouched at her feet as though it had something to communicate. Mrs. Gilbert tried to take the dog to the house, but it refused to stir in any path except a narrow, muddy one that led directly into the swamp. Mrs. Gilbert armed herself with her husband's boots. and struck out on the little dog’s trail. After going about a quarter of a mile Mrs. Gilbert washrought to a sudden halt by the sight of a man’s head and shoulders protruding from the black mud a few feet from the edge of the path. The man’s head was hent forward, the eyes closet. and the face blank.
