He was attired in a dark gray uniform that reminded her oddly or the dragoon choruses in the comic operas at home. The garments, while torn and soiled, were well fitting. His shoulders were broad and square. The tire was in the open air and di- rectly in front of a deep cleft in-the ; rocky haekgroumi. Judging by the i [sound the river could not beware than 200 feet away. Men came up with lanterns and others piled brush upon the fire. in a very short time the glen was weirdly illuminated by the danc-. ing flames. From her seat on the huge log Beverly was thus enabled to survey a portion ct her surroundings. The Overhanging ledge of rock formed a wide. deep canopy. underneath which was perfect shelter. The floor seemed to be rich. grassless loam. and here and there were pallets of long grass, eviâ€" dently the couches of these homeless men. All about were huge trees. and in the direction of the river the grass ‘ grew higher and then gave place to reedsi The foliage above was so dense that the moon and stars were invisible. ‘There was a deathly stillness in the air. The very loneliness was so appalling that Beverly's poor little heart was in a quiver of dread. Aunt Fanny. who sat near by. had not spoken since leav- ing the coach, but her eyes were ex- pressively active. BEVERLY or GRAlLS’i‘ARK By GEORGE BARR H'CUTCIEOK Met 0!

She sat on the log beside the tall lender and ate heartily of the broth and broiled goat meat, the grapes and the nuts, and drank of the spring water. which took the place or wine and coflee and cor- dial. It was a strange supper amid ntmnge environments, but she enjoyed it no she had never before enjoyed a meal. The air was full of romance and danger, and her imagination was enthralled. Everything was no new and unreal that she scarcely could be- lieve herself awake.

She had bathed her face in one of the leather buckets from the coach, and the dust of the road had been brushed away by the vigorous lady in waiting. “If you don‘t mind, I’d like to eat In the public dlniag room," said she. A few minutes later Beverly was sitting upon one of her small trunks. and Aunt Fanny was laboriously brushing her dark hair. “By the way, will you have dinner served in your room?" very good hu- moredly. - “It is a typical mountain resort. then." she said. “I think I can man- age very well It you will fetch my bags to my room. sir."

'l‘lw rhlef. with his own hands. soon began the construction of a small chatulwr in this partivular 001'- nor of the cavu near the opeulnz. The walls of the chamber were formed of carriage robes and blankets. cloaks and oak bram'hes. Surely here was a careless free lance upon whom life weighed lightly. while death “stood sfar ox" and despaired. The light of the fire brought his gleam- ing face into bold relief, for his hat was 01!. Black and thick was his hair. rumpled and apparently uncured for. The face was lean. smooth and strong. with s devllomsy-eare curve at the cor- : ners of the mouth. Beverly found her- self lamenting the fact that such an in- teresting fnce should be marred by an ugly black patch. covering she knew not what manner of defect. As for the rest of them. they were a grim com- pany. Some were young and beardless. others were old and grizzly, but all were active. alert and strong. The lender appeared to he the only one in the party who could speak and nude - stand the English language.

The I breezes fanned the night into a rush of shivery coolness. Constant flickerings of lightning illuminated the forest. transforming the treetops into great black waves. Tall reeds along the riv- ‘er bank began to bend their tops. to swing themselves gently to and from the wind. In the lowlands down from the cave will-o’-the-wisps played tag with Jack-o’-lanterns, merrily scamper- lnz about in the blackness. remind- ing her of the revelers ln a famous Brocken scene.

Then he strode abruptly toward her doorway. She fell back breathless. He stopped just outside. and she knew that he was llltenlng for sounds from within. Att- The fire in the open had died down until naught remained but a few glow- ing embers. These were blown into brilliancy by the wind, casting a steady red light over the scene. There was but one human figure in sight. Beside the tire stood the tall wanderer. He was hatless and coatless. and his arms were folded across his chest. Seeming- ly oblivious to the approach of the storm he stood staring into the heap of ashes at his feet. His face was toward ‘ her, every feature plainly distinguish- able in the faint glow from the tire. To her amazement the black patch was missing from his eye, and. what sur- } prised her almost to the point of ex- claimiug aloud. there appeared to be absolutely no reason for its presence there at any time. There was no mark or blemish upon or about the eye. It was as clear and penetrating as its fellow, darkly gleaming in the red glow from below. Moreover, Beverly saw that he was strikingly handsomeâ€"a strong, manly face. The highly im- aginative southern girl’s mind reverted to the first portraits of Napoleon she had seen. she peeved forth into the night, hen heart jumping with terror. Her high- neu was very much afraid of thunder and lightning. She was awakened in the middle of the night by the violent flapping: of her chamber window. Sturtled. she sat bolt upright and strained her eyes to pierce the mysterious darkness. Aunt. ‘anny. on her bed or grass, stirred convulsh-ely. but did not awake. The blackness of the strange chamber was broken ever and anon by taint flashm of light from without, and she lived through long minutes of terror before it dawned upon her that a thunder- storm was brewing. The wind was rising. and the night seemed agog with excitement. Beverly crept from her :ouch and felt her way to the fluttering doorway. Drawing aside the blanket. 1 she wondered how her gray dress would look after she had siept in it all night. She heard low singing as if in the distance. but after awhile the stillness became so intense that its pressure almost sut‘l‘oeated her. The rush of the river grew louder and lou'l- er. and there was a swishing sound that died in her ears almost as she won- dered what It meant. Her last wak- ing thoughts were of the “black patch" poet. Was he lying near the door? and muttered a soft good nl'sht. “May your lughuoss‘ «reams bopleas- ant ones!" he said. “a'l’h D]: van.“ .‘ald film. and the cur talu dropped ixmwrtinexzuy. “"‘h wt was very cool or him.
