CHAPTER IV. A BAt,L OF FIHE.

May Clarke was vorv weak and trerook sense of the horrible nataro of the calam Ity that had befallen her.

The entrance ot the masked men, the morderof her father, the horror of ail the events of that terrible night, fell upon her like the stroke of death, and for many hours she lay in a deadly swoon.

She was sitting propped np in a large arm chair, when Gecft-ge Belwood and Arthur Bonsteei entered her presence,

May wasja quiet, gentle girl always, with a pare blende lace, waving masses of brown hair, and a form of qaeenly .grace and contour.

Her eyes, brown eyes of swedtest tenderness, were red and swollen from recent weeping, and her whole appearance betokens one who had suffered more than pen can describe.

Mrs. Clarke was more calm and re signed, yet she too was weii nigh borne -down' with the awful woe that bad befallen the household.

Bonsteei stood respectfully aside, while Mr. Belwood advanced to the side •of May. "Poor child f" said the old lumberman. "This night's work shall be amply atoned lor. rest assured." "You are preparing to go in quest of the wretches?" inquired May, faltering* ly. "Yes, my girl. Twelve good men have •worn to bunt the villain to the death." "So I have been informed. That is why I sent io.r you," returned May, tremulously.

Belwood drew a cUalrto the side of the fair girl, and in a reassuring voice requested her to proceed. "I thought, perhaps, if you only knew who those men were who came here last •night, it would help you in finding and ^mulshing them." "Such Knowledge would mako our task comparatively easy, my girl. But I fear that weBball not be able to learn so much," said Belwood slowly. "I am positive as to one of them "You are?" "Yes." "Were they not masked?" "Yes, but I reoognizfld the leader by the sound of bis voice, which is quite familiar to me." "Well?" questioned Belwood, eagerly. "The voice that gave the command for my poor tether's death belonged

Here the young girl choked with emotion. "Calm yourself, my dear May," said her undo, gently. "Kemember that

our courage and strength may lead to arrest and punishment of your fatb •r's assassins."

Altera brief straggle, May quelled her omottons, and was atle to speak. "It was the voice of Owen DeWolf J" "Owen DeWoifl" exclaimed Belwood, half starting from his chair. "Yes. I know I am not mistaken," asserted May. "Then my suspicions have not been unfounded, muttered the mill owner. "You are positive you are not mistaken, May?" •f "Quite positive." "Did you reoognias any of the others?" "I think that one of them was Eli Norton, but I am not so sure of that. That la all 1 know about the men." "It is enough!" exclaimed Belwood, «xultlngly. "We will soon have these Villains swinging from the limb of a tree. lam Indeed truly thankful to von for this unexpected information, Mav."

Ha made no mention of his daughter here, as jtte did not care to add unnecessarily to tbe trouble* of May and her mother. Bat he felt elated at the prospect Wit'. DeWnlfonce ln his power, he could make him oimfees all, the murter of Clarke, and tlte abduction and whereabouts of AI aid.

Bidding an affdctionsto good-by to May and Mm. Cinrke, the lumberman and Bonsteei passed out into the open air. "What do you think now, Mr. Belwood?" queried Arthur. ••That DeWolf is a clever villain.'* "You comets that you were wrong In your estimation of the man, and that I was right?" "Not fully. suspected him of being villain long since, bu his late actions almost banished these suspicions from my mind." tit 'What are yoar plana aim?"

some of tbem for help in an enterprise, both dangerous andjexcdting. late In the afternoon, a little procession filed out from the late home of Wilson Clarke, bearing the body of the unfortunate settler to its last resting place.

The grave was made under the shadow of the pines on the summit of the long hill.

The nearest clergyman iiad been summoned, and the services were short but impressive.

As the stout settlers stood around the open grave, each one of them registered a solemn vow to punish the perpetrators of this foul deed, cost what it might.

Mrs. Clarke and her daughter were nnable to aocompany the remains to the grave, since the shock of the night previous had not yet been overoome.

Dark Shadows were drawing athwart the earth when Arthur Bonsteei summoned six of the young men of the set tlement and told them bis plana.

The men listened attentively, and when the youthfnl captain had ceased a word of approval fell fro mthe lips of the men. Jt "We're with you, Arthur, to the death," said Ned Yorice, with emphasis. "And'll show these murdering raaoals that they can't run away with our girls, or commit crime witbont receiving their just deserts," put inNate Ellis, a stout young logger. "Yea, that's all very well, boys, know how brave and determined yon all are that's why I selected you for this night's expedition. But foralltbat we most move cautiously. Men wbo com mit such crimes as tbese| have done whom we seek, are desperate fellows and willmot be taken alive," said Ar thur, anxious to impress the dangers of the situation upon the minds of his men ere starting out.

Eli Norton lived some four miles from Pine Ridge, down the river. His house a large, log building, stood on a wooded bluff that overlooked the river and forest on the farther shore. There was only a small patch cleared in front ef the house. Farming was not the proprietor's occupation he worked on the river, rafting or driving logs in the summer, hunting and trapping during the winter.# Hs was almost a giant in size, dark visaged and unprepossessing appearance. The only other occupant of the house was a lean visaged nag, whom Norton claimed as bis sister.

The house was a large one of its kind, containing four rooms, two on the ground floor and two above.

On the night in question, two men sat at a »mall table in the back room, conversing over a bottle of wine. One was tall, stoat and swarthy, the other of medium size, well dressed, with a dark, evil face, and keen black eyes. "So you propose making the girl yon: wife after this flurry blows over, eh?'' said the larger man, chucking. "I propose to keep her in my possession. at any rate,, Norton. I hardly think I'll go to the trouble of marrying her." 1 "There must be qmte a? itirin Pine Ridge over last night's affair, Owen." 'Well, yes, something or a breeze. That young Bonsteel's makii^g a big spread. I'll settle bis bash ere long now mind what I tell you." said Owen DeWolf, quaffing a glass of wine as hje spoke.

He's a dangerous enemy." "Not such a one as BelWood. I expect the devil to pay pretty soon," grunted DeWolf. "I've been playing my cards pretty freely of late. Bonsteei suspects something wrong, but Belwood's blind as a bat, as yet' I think I'll drop down to the settlement in the morning and see how the wind blows." "Don't do it, Owefl»" "Why not?" "The settlers are oaraged, and if yon are suspected, a stout cora and short shrift would be your portion*" said Norton, solemnly.

DeWolf laughed, showing his white, even teeth, under bis glossy black mus taohe. "You would make a coward of me Even If I got into close quarters, the boys would see me clear, but— Hark! what's that?"

A load rap thundered on the front door. Norton sprang to his feet.

Again a heavy rap came on the door. "Some one seeks admittance in a hurry," growled Norton. "Nat

an's in the next room she'll attend to them. Sit down, Eli, and take another drink," said DeWolf, with great ooolness.

As he spoke, Nanoy Norton was heard opening the door of the adjoining apartit "What's wanted now?" demanded the hag, as ahe opened the door cautionaly. Instantly a man pushed his way in, followed by half a dosen more.

Xhey were the Vigilantes, under Arthur Bonsteei. "Where is Norton?" demanded Bonsteei, glancing sharply about the dimly lighted room, "What do you want of my brother at this boor of the night? What ye disturbln' honest folks with your insolence for?" "Nevermind: I am seeking Eli Norton and Owon DeWolf. If they are in this boose I will find them." and the yonth moved to the door leading to the back room.

Before he could reach it, however, it waa suddenly flung open, and Owen peWolf,amliing pleasantly, stood before

"Owen DeWolf I want you." "Ah, la that ma/t It seems that yon have come soms distance, at a late hour,

with the utmost coolness and good n* tura. ... "I am here to take yon back to Pine

A aeomfnl tunile cnrled the lip of DeWolf.

DeWolf uttered an exclamation of sor-

meof doing such a deed. I am willing to go with yon and prove that I am innocent." "Where Is Norton?" suddenly demanded Bonsteei, who had been searching the back room, without finding him. "I'm sure I saw him when you opened the door." "Perhaps so," sneered DeWolf "he's taken French leave, I reckon."

An open window at the aide of the room showed where Norton bad made bis escape. Bonsteei had taken the precaution to place a guard at the back door, but had neglected the windows, thus allowing the man a chance of escape, which £e bad lost no time in improving.

The night was dark, and it would have been folly to hunt for the missing man. They had secured the most important personage, and Bonsteei felt that the night expedition had not been in vain.

Producing a strong cord, Bonsteei proceeded to bind DeWolf's arms curely behind his back. This finished they were ready to retnrn to the settlement.

DeWolf received bis treatment in sullen silence. He was at a loss to understand the meaning of the proceed ings, since he never guessed that bis mask had been penetrated on the night of the murder.

Bonsteei gave orders for the return, and the little party waaeoon filing down the road through the woods in the direction of the settlement. The moon came up above the trees, etid sifted iilver bars of light down upon the path of the midnight traveler?. Bonsteei felt elated at the partial success of his plans. He bad leared a total failure. DeWolf of more importance than Norton, and he felt that he had done a good night's work.

An hour passed, and the little party was nearing the settlement, when there came a sound of crackling brush at the left. "Halt!" commanded Bonsteei.

Scarcely bad the words passed his lips when a ball of fire shot up from a thicket and fell in their midst, the light revealing the faces and forms of every member of the little party quite distinctly.

Then, as ail stood stunned for a mo ment oy this unexpected occurrence, the thicket on either hand seemed ablaze with tire, a dozen rifles cracked, and four of the settlers fell dead in their trscks

All grew dark again. Silence reigned over the forest. Stunned and horrified, Bonsteei and the two remaining settlers darted ahead, and sought shelter behind trees.

Chapter v.,BLIND NELL.

It was a quarter past nine when Alma Belwood lelt the house on that fatal night. She had passed a pleasant even ing with May and her mother, and little thought, as she bade tbem good-night, of the terrible scenes through which she was destined to pass before they met again.

The distanoe from Clarke's to her own home was not more than a quarter of a mile, and Alma had been over the road so many times, that she scarcely thought of the danger that might lurk in her pathway.

Past the bouses of the settlers she walked, and soon found herself on the dam that crossed the narrow creek in front of her father's mill. As she arrived opposite the mill, she came to a sudden pause. The tall smoke stack loomed up, dark and grim, forty feet above the broad roof. Why she paused here she could not tell. This was just at the foot of the hill. Twenty rods further and she would be at her own door.

The night waB quite dark, but clear, The stars studded the blue aroh of heaven, and twinkled like myriad Bpots of flame throughout the broaa blue canopy above her head.

A sudden sonnd attracted her atten tion. & It came from the mill.

She gazed intently at the front door, as if expecting it to open and reveal something beyond.

The door did open, sure enough, and glided out Into the stardark form light.

One of the mill hands, thought Alma, as she started on. She bad not taken ten steps, when a hand fell on her shoulder, and another covered her mouth.

She tried to scream, but found her efforts useless. The next Instant she was lifted by a pair of strong arms and borne rapidly away toward the river.

Just then the man's hand slipped from her mouth, and Alma uttered a piercing scream.

None o' that, blast ye," growled her captor, covering her lips with hla hard band.

Alma struggled desperately, but could effect nothing. A minute later he stood at the river's edgo. Here a large skiff lay moored, in which sat two men.

"You've got her, hev ye, Jim?" ac Dav aboard," returned tone.

Yea, but be careful Bear a hand

..u.,v.on'tspeak loud, here, Davis, an' help git her arned the abductor in a low

One of the men grasped the maiden and lifted her into the boat. Alma was too frightened to struggle now, and lay almost lifeless in the arms of the second villain. "Keep yer paw tight over her mouth, Davis," growled the first man, "while Ben an' me runs the boat. I 'lnw I've did the job mighty neat eo far, an' I to bev it don't keer to bev it split by your blnn* derin'."

Tend yer Own affairs, Jim Jowl. Ill take care o' the lan." The boat was quickly unmoored, and the two men grasped the oars and rowed down the stream.

Dead silence feigned for a longtime. The dip of the oars was the only sound that fretted the night air.

Alma iay so still that the captora believed ahe had fainted. And tbelr supposition waa correct.

The suddenness of the attack, the unoertaiu nature of her danger, so terrified poor Alma that she grew faint, beiplees and unconscious for a time.

How long she remained unoonaciona. Alma did not know. When ahe came to herself once more, she found that ahe waa lying on a bed of aklns within the narrow predncta of a dimly lighted room.

She turned over and gaaed at the ceiitng. which wit* *laek and dingy with amoko.

The room waa small, and furnished with a few pine stools, a small table and wafthbaiifL.

A anddeu realizing sen»e of what had happened came over her. With a little ejaculation of alarm she aat upright, and pushed the tangled hair from her forehead. "Where am IP* ate aaked herself aloud. "Iu good hands, my girl,*' said a voice aft her elbow.

Alma started endden^r. Before her, aa if riaon from the floor, stood a abort, dark featured wocoao, dressed las base calico gown. Her hair was blade wad uncombed, her eyes

glistening, smsll and unpleasant in expression. "Who are yon?" suddenly demanded Alma, feeling relieved, yet alarmed, at the knowledge that ahe waa not thrust entirely from the Bight of human beings in the garb of her own sex. "Yon are mighty curious, Miss Belwood," rejoined the women. "Curious. Well, who wouldn't be, in my situation? Why was I carried away? What villainy la meditated? Where am 1? can you tell me?" said Alma, rapidly putting her questiona. "I suppose I could answer all your questions if I chose, Miss Belwood bnt 1 don't choose." "Yon seem to know my name." "Yes, I have known you for years,"

Alma looked incredulous. "Ob, you needn't seem surprised. Everyone in these parta has heard of George Belwood's beautiful and accom

Elishedyou

daughter. Queen Bodlllon

nows like a book," said the woman, with a low, unpleasant laugh "Queen Bodlllon?" "Yes. Did you never hear of that lady?" "Never." "You'll soon know something of her, then, I reckon. She's our queen,—our head center. Even Captain DeWolf has to bow to her will." "DeWolf!" exolaimed Alma,with start. "Yes. You know him, I reckon." "Yes, and a most despicable villain he is too." ''Better be a little careful, Miss Bel wood. The captain's a man not to be trifled with, I can tell you," said the woman, bluntly. "I don't fear him." "You may before lonar." "I understand the whole thing now," said Alma, as her pale cheeks dyed an angry crimson. "DeWolf has stolen me from my home out of revenge, because I refused to listen to his suit, shall soon compel him to release me, and he shall be punished for this act of base treachery."

Tbe woman laughed and then turned away. Alma sprang to her feet and grasped her arm. "Woman," she cried sharply, you going to leave me?" "You have guessed it exactly, Mls& Alma." "I will accompany you then. I will not stay here. I must return home.

Tbe woman laughed grimly. "Not so fast, my girl you can't go just yet. I am your jailer for the present. You must stay in this room." Alma slipped past her and sprang to the door. Before she could open it, the jailor had seized her by the shoulder and thrust her backwards by no means ly'You will remain here for the present!" she said fiercely, and with that she opened the door quickly and passed out, closing it and locking it behind her.

Alma stood trembling in the center of the room. DeWolf was the person who had caused her abduotion.

What was her fate to her? She realized how utterly beiplees she w»s, bow completely in the bands of a designing villain and covering ber face with her hands, the poor girl sat down upon her couch of skins, weak and trembling with the terrible dread that oppressed her. "I have come for you."

Alma started up from the trance like state she had been in for long hours. The woman who had left her a short time previous stood before her. "How?" questioned Alma in bewilderment. "I am oome for you, Miss Belwood "To set me free!" exclaimed the young girl delightedly. "To come before Bodlllon. She alone has the power to set you lree. Come!"

Mechanically. Alma rose and followed her jailer into tbe next room. This room was larger than the one they bad just left, A dozen chairs were ranged about tbe wall, a large table, covered with a crimson cloth, standing in tbe center of tbe floor.

A chandelier hung from the ceiling, lighting the room brilliantly. At the farther end was a raised platform. on which stood a crimson cushioned arm chair, In which a woman sat, richly dressed and closely vailed.

The jailer led Alma down the long room to the front of the platform, where she paused. ueen Bodlllon, I have done your bidding." "Tis well," returned tbe veiled lady 'Leave us alone for tbe present, Morgau."

The jailor turned and walked away, passing out by aside door, leaving Alma standing alone before the strange being on ber crimson throne.

For a short times nothing was said. Suddenly the woman thrust aside ber veil, and gazed fixedly into tbe face of Alma Belwood.

Alma started back with a quick, sharp cry. The woman sat silent and grim, eying tbe maiden intently, as if allowing ber an opportunity to obtain a complete view of her race, and form an opinion of its possessor ere she spoke. "Well, Miss Belwood, baa my beanty charmed you?" said the woman, with a low, grating laugh tbaiaenta chill to the maiden's heart. "What don't you speak?" demanded tbe woman, as Alma remained mate as tbe grave. »fLl_What shsll I say?" faltered Alma, shuddering. "That yon think me me the most horrid looking wretch your eves ever looked upon," returned Bouillon, almost fiercely.

Alma eoold have thus answered in good truth, since tbe faoe of this woman jefore her, though perbsps once psssing fair, was horribly disfigured and distorted now.

On the left cheek was a deep livid sear, a grinning skull and cross bones, which had been burned deep into tbe tender fleeh. The effect bad been to draw down this aide of the faoe, contorting it horribly. The left eye was gone, and tbe socket sunken, presenting a ghastly sppesmnee. Tbe remaining eye appeared to stand out beyond its nstnrsi position and glared horribly upoo Alma.

No wonder tben that abe shftnk back terrified st the unexpected sight. "Yon fthrlok back ill horror if tbs gbt of me, Alma Belwood," said Bolion. "I do not wonder I sm not a| beauty, by any meem v»t oo*e, long year* ago. was as ftdr toiook upon, aa free from guile, as yon ere now. What think y»a of tbe one who inflicted this disfigurement upan me, Alma?" "That no bnman Ming could have done sucb wickedness,™ returned Alms,

"You are right. Ufo human creature oould have done such 4 thing. Stow not bnman, ahe was demon, a mercUess ahe devil! Cotws rast upon ber "She!" ocbdiMd 101m It he Oft a woman—" "Yea, It wss a woman, a maiden fair as yourself yonr very countarpart, Alma, wbo maimed and disfigured om ttrns. 8foe gained her object and ruined pom Nell forever. I have lived sines only for revenge swsst morsel, re-

venge! What punishment is too great for such as she—what punishment, Alma, tell me?" "None too great, none whatever!" exclaimed Alma, under ber breath. "True, all true. That is why I have secured yon! Ha! ha! he!" and the woman's cruel laugh rang through the room.

Alma stood trembling, wondering what was to oome next. "Alma you are fair to look upon,* continued the woman, after a pause, her single eye glaring like tbe baleful orb of Fate: "bnt not fairer than Nell 6raford at your age, not one whit fairer. Her li'e and hopes were crushed and her future made hateful by this infliction. Think you I can ever forgive Madeline Qreaves for that one devilish act?" "Madeline Greavee! "Ah! you atart and tremble, Alma sweet! No wonder," cried the woman, laughing harshly. "Madeline reaves was the ahe fiend who committed this beautiful work, and I bave been working out tbe fulfillment of the vow msde on the very day that she married your father, Ralph—baby Ralph—fell a vietim to that vow, and now you shall exoerience tbe sweetness of its working. Your fair cheek shall write and sizzle under tbe brand. Madeline shall have good cause to remember Blind Nell and her vow!"

The queen drew forth a small silver whistle and blew a blast. Immediately Morgan eutered tbe room. "Morgan, take this girl back to ber room. To-morrow, at high noon, let her be led forth and snffer the pains of the Skeleton Brand!"

Morgan seized"Alma's hand and drew her away, almost fainting with terror, while Blind Nell's chilling, ghostly laugh rane through the room, "To-morrow at noon, remember!" came tbe voice of Blind Nell, echoing and re-ecboipg through the heart aua brain of poor, half fainting Aliaa, as she suffered herself to be led back to prison.
