CHAPTER X—Continued
—16—
“1 could not understand her then
when she told me how gladly stie
would give tier life, were it not for
me, to live for a single year the glori
dus freedom of Molly Brunt.” said
Paul. ‘But I do—now In that one
year she knew she would find some
thing which would more than make up
for all the other tears she might live,
just as every hour here with you Is
more to me than ten thousand back
there."
As he said these things, and believed
and felt them, there was In him a
will to live which would not utterly
extinguish itself. It was scarcely
more than a spark, a smoldering em
her that was bound to die, for his
eyes, his brain, and every faculty ot
reason which ha possessed told him
there was no hope ot finding a way
beyond the walls which shut them
in. A few minute;, before, when ('aria
had sat ot his knees, with his fingers
feeling the warmth and sweetness of
her hair, this spark had leaped into
flame. It still remained as Carla
yielded at last to rds demand, and
gave herself to the bed he had made
for her, with his coat for her pillow
“It seems almost a sin to sleep,”
she said; and if slumber were near,
or ever, the necessity for It, he could
find no shadow of It In her face. She
might have risen from her bed an
hour ago, so freshly clear and lovely
were her eyes, so deep their lustrous
content and happiness when she
looked at him. Yet, after a little, her
lashes drooped as if to veil the love
behind them, and lay In velvet dark¬
ness against the whiteness of her
cheeks. For a while Paul sat close
and watched her, and with each breath
the flame in him grew stronger, the
demand that something happen,
through force of God 01 man, tohreak
down the walls of death which en¬
vironed her.
Alone, with Carla’s unconscious
form lending faith and inspiration to
his thought, he fixed Ids attention, as
a dozen times before, 011 the smoke
which rose from the burning wood.
Where did it go?
Hours ago he had asked hituselt this
question, and until he had discovered
a thin fog of smoke settling over the
water, and drifting away with the
rush of it, his blood had run swiftly
with a thrill of hope And now. In
spite of the fact that he knew where
It went, the question remained, ns if
a voice inside his head had been
trained to ask It, parrot-like, and
could not be made to stop.
He and Carla had collected a pile
of pltchwood. As they had found
each stick they had acclaimed It a
treasure discovered, until the thrill of
a game had become part of their en¬
deavor. He chose a stick heavily
weighted with pitch and lighted the
end of it in the fire. Then tie walked
off into the gloom where he and Cnrla
had gone many times before. It was
like following the inside of a great
rock drum which was flat on one side
—flat wtiere the water thundered and
raced through the mountain.
When his torch burned short he re
turned for another. Carla had not
moved in her sleep, and he burled
himself In blackness again, following
the rock so closely that his body
touched it, trying at every step to
pierce with his vision a little farther
into the stygian pit over his head It
was into this pit that the sinoke
went, mounting In drifting spirals, like
smoke in an Indian tepee. Up there,
he thought. It was taken by a slowly
dragging current of air made b.v the
suction of the stream, and descended
to exit from the mountain with It.
There was only one break In the cir¬
cular wall of gruesomely black and
water-worn rock, against which. In
ages past, a subterranean flood had
washed and roared. This was where
a small section of if had given way
from overhead and had piled up a
mass of broken stone which he
had climbed, with Carla watching
from below. Here the smoke from
his torch did not go upward but set¬
tled about his head and disappeared
toward the vent in the mountain
through which the river rushed with
great force. He went to this outlet
It was a nole which his eyes were
unable to measure, choked to within
a foot of its upper jaw by a seething
flood of water, and out of which—
though the space for sound was small
—came such a sullen rumbling that
his blood was chilled as he listened to
It. Aione, he would have plunged
into this. To die fighting, pitting his
small strength against all the forces
which might oppose him, was the urge
which was refusing to subdue Itself
within him. He flung out his flaming
torch and saw It swallowed in an In¬
stant. Like that he would have gone
If Carla bad not been there to go
with him.
He turned back to the fire and put
on a fresh stick of resinous wood be¬
fore he sat iu the sand near enough
to Carla to touch her with his hand.
He wondered if fear had begun to
seize upon him as he looked at her un¬
conscious form, foreseeing the tor¬
ment of impending nours when mad¬
ness would be for him alone. Unless
they died together, he must outlive
Carla—-to save her from a realization
of that which he. In his greater
strength, should bear.
CLEVELAND COlTRIER.
CHAPTER XI
Paul knew be must keep moving, or
rouse Carla from her sleep. The
nakedness and desolation of aloneness
were ‘■urning him into a coward. Not
a coward who was afraid of death,
but one who felt increasing horror in
passively waiting for it. He went to
tlie debris of rock again. He had no
reason for this, no thought, except
that it offered tiim Hie one chance to
do something physical besides fumbing
his way over unstable and shifty sand.
The desire for 0 work to do was an
ache In his body ns well as his brain,
and he began to climb the broken
mass, as he had done once before.
He nad gone about thirty or forty
feet above the floor ot their dungeon
then, but this time he found footholds
which carried him a little farther,
until, from the point he reached, he
could look over the bulge in the rock
which had previously concealed rheir
fire, and could clearly see Carla In
the glow of It.
He had the desire to call to her. to
feel her glorious life a part of their
existence again. Sleeping, she seemed
gone from him. He swung his torch,
making a writing of fire in the black¬
ness, and his lips almost cried her
name. Then he recognized the weak
ness of his act and bpgan to pull him¬
self a Utile more up the broken wall.
If ('aria had awakened and turned
her eyes toward him. she would have
seen a strange and weird tiling. The
burning piece of pltchwood was a
spout of yellow flame. Illumining at
times the ghostly Hgnre that bore It.
and then floating alone in a limbo of
midnight emptiness ns it borne by
shades that in color and spirit were a
part ot the gloom. She might have
thought, rousing herself from slumber,
that hands which were no longer
Paul’s were hearing it toward the roof
of their world. Steadily up into this
pit of Acheron It went, and there it
disappeared, as If smitten t>y a mighty
breath that extinguished ft in a sec¬
ond. For a time utter darkness lay
where the light had been. Then the
torch reappeared as suddenly as sable
wings had engulfed it. and in another
moment it was plunging down through
space. In a few minutes Paul came
where It had fallen si uttering In the
sand, and picked It up again. More
than ever his face was like that of a
ghost. Ills cheek was marked by a
bleeding wound. His ■ shirt was In
shreds on his breast. His eyes blazed
in a way that would have startled
Carla.
He went to the edge ot the water
and bathed tils face and hands. Then
tie returned to the tire and knelt be¬
side Carla. He raised her head gently
In his arms, and she did not awaken.
He held it against his breast and
kissed her hair.
“Carla!” he whispered.
Her lips moved, her lashes trembled,
and opened slowly to unveil her eyes.
“You have slept a long time,” he
said. "At least—It climbed stented .^oug—and pile of
1 took a torch and the
rocks again. 1 went higher than be¬
fore—so high that I came to a ledge,
and followed it—and then t came to a
great crack in tlie wall, and there, at
tiie end of it—I saw—light."
“Light!" she breathed.
“Yes, light. From the sun. i have
found a way out."
There was silence then. Almost
without effort, it seemed to Paul.
Carla crept out of his arms He knew
that something was going with tier
forever. Her face was whiter than
his own. What he bad dreaded to see
lay in her eyes—a thing fighting back
and crushing tlie glory which hud
lived in them for a little while. The
understanding of what his discovery
meant came quickly to her, and he
saw a fabric of assembled dreams go¬
ing to pieces, like one of the odd
jumble pictures on a screen. When
Its hundred disintegrated parts came
Together again, they formed Claire's
face, waiting for him ut tiie end of
the trail of light sent to guide them
back to aD earthly destiny still unful¬
filled. and which, for a rime, had
passed centuries away from them.

Deadliest of Poisons
Is Unguarded Tongue
An unmerciful tongue may be more
cruel than the most terrible Instru
ment of torture ever forged. It can
stab more keenly than a dagger, and
cut more deeply than a sword. That
quick tongue; that fiery, temper-driven
tongue; that insidious, insinuating
longue; that soft, slimy, slandering
tongue; that sharp, sarcastic tongue;
these, an inspired writer has said, are
set on fire of hell! It is dangerous to
handle such cruel weapons heedlessly.
With one of them you may so rend
your mother’s bosom that she will
wish she had never been born; you
may so pierce your father’s heart as
to bring down his gray hairs iD sorrow
to the grave; you may cut the nearest,
dearest ties and leave the heartstrings
bleeding.—Montreal Family Herald.

MYSTERY OF SEA
MAY BE SOLVED
Wreck May Be Vessel Lost 21
Years Ago.
Capetown.—ft is possible that tiie
mystery of tiie tost steamship Warn
tah. missing more Ilian 20 years, has
been solved at last.
Air pilots have declared that two
miles off 1’eddie, near tiie South Afri¬
can port of Fast London, a great
ledge of rock runs out under tlie sea
and on it lies a wrecked ship, it is
plainly visible on calm days when the
sunlight strikes the water at a cer¬
tain angle.
The Waratah, a steamer of 10,000
tons, was 01 , a voyage from Sydney
to London with 400 passengers and
crew. She left Durban on July 20,
1000, for Capetown, and on the fol¬
lowing day was in company with the
steamer Clan MacIntyre.
But she never readied Capetown,
and from that day to this no trace
of her has been found.
Many stories of floating bodies and
wreckage seen by crews of ships oil
East London were current for
months, and in December, 1011, a life
boat with the name Waratah on it
was washed up on tiie west coast ot
New Zealand.
Many people advanced strange rea
sons for her disappearance, which was
even said to he due to some super
natural agency, but it is generally
thought that site capsized during a
violent storm.
Pretty German Woman’s
Charms Fatal to Men
Berlin,—“Every man who gets Into
my hands is lost.” said Irma Bruns, a
beautiful and clever woman, aged
thirty-two, in tlie court at Heidelberg,
where she was being tried on various
charges of fraud.
There was 11 touch of sadness and
a touch of pride in her voice as she
made this statement, and as four of
her six successive husbands—an au¬
thor, a professor, a major and a cap¬
tain-committed suicide, she certainly
had grounds for believing that tier
charms were fatal.
Irma Bruns’ father was tlie well
known German pnlnler, Professor
Heffner. She ran away from his house
at Milan at fhe age of fourteen and
her first love affair was with an Eng¬
lishman. He wanted the girl to marry
him, hut she grew lired of him and ill
the age of sixteen siie ran away and
lived n life of adventure In fashion¬
able hotels, boarding houses and In
the meeting places of international
thieves.
Her last associate has been a man
called Hans Lengefeld, whom she ap¬
pears to have completely dominated
and whom she Induced to steal jewels
for her In Munich, Stuttgart ami
Heidelberg.
She was sent to prison for eight
months.
Shoots White Wolf as
He Dines on Fresh Kill
Stanford. Mont.—Just before his In
stinct to kill cost his life, the famous
white wolf of the Little Belt dined
royally on a calf, according to A. E.
Close, rancher, whose rifle ended the
career of the snow-white range killer
Annoyed by snapping of Close’s fox
terrier arid shepherd dogs, the white
wolf suddenly whirled from tils feast
and gave chase. The dogs fled to
their master, with the killer close at
their heels. When Close saw the wolf
he took aim and fired twice.
His shooting eye was better ttian a
day four years ago when he managed
only to wound the wolf. This time
one bullet entered the wolf’s head
while the other pierced the neck. The
beast dropped dead, ending one of the
most notorious animal-killing careers
in the history of Montana.

died within a few seconds. The min¬
ister was preaching at Mass-Edonis
church, near Wentworth, N. C. On
reaching the pulpit the minister com¬
plained ot feeling ill and paused for
a few minutes. Then he resumed his
sermon and proceeded to say farewell
to his congregation. A doctor was
called, hut it was too late, as the
minister had died of a heart attack
He had lived at Spray, N. (’., for 30
years, and was widely known in that

Mule Driver’s Remarks

There had been a tight in an es

regular soldiers and some members
of one of rhe new divisions. After
the M. P.’s had stopped tlie hullaboo
ii appeared that Private Slim Gibbs,
who was a mule driver in the Eight¬
eenth infantry wagon train and did
not like recruits, had knocked tlie
new division in this wise:
“Yes, sir,” said Slim, “they landed
nt St. Nnzaire and on their arm bras¬
sards was a roarin’ teurin’ wild ani¬
mal—a grizzly li’ar—with claws a foot
long and spittin’ like a wildcat.

Due that animal had lost his claws
and he stopped spittin.’ When they
hit Beaumont, behind Seichoprey,
that tierce animal was just siftin’
down, lookin' around kind of peace¬
ful like.
“And, soldiers, when one of their
motor artillery batteries passed us
mi the way to the front, that b'ar
had disappeared and they had a dove
on their brassards and the words:
‘Let us have peace.’ ”
Then the fight began.—Tod F.
