NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY They did not speak again, but by mutual consent they packed again, put the saddles once mire on the weary horses ,and pushed on, So it was that they canie, when the last of the sun- set light had faded out, to a rough cleft in the face of the mountain which lifted its head a full five hun- dred feet above them. It was too dark to follow the trail farther, and Buck Daniels suggested that they camp for the night where they were. But the thoughts of Harry Gloster gave him no rest. The bright shin- ing of the stars became entangled with the wild tale that Daniels had told him. He saw,,at length, that there was no sleep for him this night. So he pulled on his boots and stepped away for a walk and a quiet pipe byhimself. He turned down the narrow defile. At the place where the rock walls came together he could find the perfect se- clusion which he wanted. But the rock walls did not join. Instead, the narrow defile twisted to one side and presently he found him- pelf in a large hollow carved myster- jously cut of the mountain, a sort of natural fort with solid cliffs for walls. There were tress scattered here and there. He 'saw horses grazing, and, above all, his eye caught a gleam of light. It was a startling thing to know that there was a human residence here in the heart of the mountains, but he now made out the big outlines of the house and he approached at once, not boldly, but with a sufficient stealth, for there might be reasons enough why the man who dwelt there choee to live in solitvde. There were the horses, too, which must not sight or scent him unless he chose to be be- trayed by their neighing. The door of the house was open. All was silent within, and the smoky lantern, having been turned down low, threw the feeblest of ligl.ts. He stole past the door and, glancing within, he made out two or three bunks against the farther wall, with a man in each. He had seen enough to make him understand that it would be very wise | if he did not venture in among these, men or wake them with questions.
