larger within than at the entrance.
She Insisted there was no danger, and
the silence seemed to prove the place
contained no Inhabitant. Doubtless
the open shelf of rock would be ex-
posed to view from the valley below
with the first Hush of day. To avoid
"discovery lie must creep In out of
•Ight.
Tills was accomplished without dif-
ficulty. tbe door being fairly level, and
the roof rising so that he could almost
stand erect. Shelby explored every
Inch of the space, knife In hand, and
not entirely satisfied until the task
was completed. It was only a box of
■ place, less than fifteen feet long,

"Where lire you taking met To
Olgn."
"No, senor; not now. I must leave
you In safety first. I.ater 1 bring her
to you. Why you ask? Ton not trust
me?"
"Yes, I trust you, I'ancha; but Isn't
tt better that I understand the plan?
Then we can work together."
She drew In a quick breath Impa-
tiently, her fingers clutching at his
aleeve.
"Diosl this Is not time to stand
and talk, senor," she burst forth, "yet
listen. If not do otherwise. There Is no
time left tonight In which to escape.
I must be hack In the house la-fore
Indian Joe wnkes, or iny brother re-
turns. AI1 I can hope to do' Is hide
you where you not be found. Then
we must plan what Is best to do."
"You know where she Is?"
"SI. senor; I know; yet eet will not
be easy to get her away. She Is nol
left unwatched, and nothing can he
dose tonight. I must watch and wall.
Eet will only he safe when Senor
Macklln and my brother are both
tway."
"You mean that I am to hide out
yonder somewhere until you are
ready?" lie questioned. "Is thai the
scheme?"
"There Is no other thing possible.
Kven that may fall. Senor. do not he
a fool." she urged earnestly. "I know
the danger of all this; you not realize
even yet what eel means to be a pris-
oner In Wolves' hole. These men keel;
It Is their only law. I risk my life to
do this, and there Is but one chance
of success. Alone, unaided, you can
never get out of here—never. Why?
you ask. Because, senor, every pass
I* under guard; tlie.v are never lefl
open."
"Then how are we to go?"
"Along a path known only to my-
self and one other, senor. A young
Indian found eet by accident and con-
fided his secret ta me! He come, and
went that way for a year, but no one
else know. Once he took uie half way
to top; eet Is rough, yet can be fol-
lowed. Now you see I am right?"
"1 have no choice; I owe you my
life already."
"Then do as I soy, senor. I will
leave you where you can never be
found. I have food here In this sack.
You must wnll there hidden until I
come. Eet may be a day, two days,
three days; that make no difference.
Ton have my pledge that I will bring
her. I do not lie. Then you will do
this, as I say?"
"Tea, Pancha."
"Gracias! eet will lie at night when
we come, and you will have to climb
those rocks In the dark. Tou will need
stout hearts for thai trip; but eet Is
better to risk than stay here an' die,
senor. Now I tell you—Indian Joe
wHl believe yon found that knife, and
cut your way out alone; he will try to
follow, an' he Is like wolf on the trail.
He will not believe you can get away;
my brother Is great tracker, an' they
fhlnk eet easy to run you down. Me
fool them, senor."
"But how? they will surely see
your footprints."
"Mine!" she laughed softly
rock of the wall, t mere crevice, so
concealed by tangled shrubbery as to
be Invisible even in daylight. How she
had recognized the spot In that dark-
ness was a mystery; through the sense
of feeling probably, for her bands In-
stantly parted the Interlaced branches,
and she crept through them with Shel-
by, on .Ills hands and knees, close be-
hind. They emerged Into a gulch, as
though some giant ax of the gods had
cleaved the very face of the cliff, a
gulch dry, scarcely four feel In width,
rock walled on either side, and almost
a tunnel because of stunted growth,
where dwarf ouks had found some
lodgment in cracks and crevices. Pan-
cha stopped, breathing heavily from
the exertion of the climb.
"Tou go on alone from here, senor,"
she Instructed, tbe words panting he-

night previous continued upward—
was, perhaps, that secret passageway
which Pancha bad said led finally to
the top of the gorge, and along which
she planned to guide their future es-
cape. Beyond the outer edge of the
shelf there was nothing but sky visl- 1
ble, and. believing the coping would j
conceal his movements from observa-
tion below', Shelby pushed bis way out |
through the opening, nnd crept on
hands and knees to \s*here he cautious-
ly could gaze over.
He was higher up on the cliff than
he had previously realized, although
Its precipitous front yet towered men-
acingly above. The view below was
like that of a distant picture. Its de-
tails indistinct. He felt no longer nny
special fear of being observed, how-
ever, and leaned far enough forward
to see clearly up and down the broad
valley. His position lay somewhat re-
moved, around the angle of a side

rock had been burled together, leaving

to ever know them, senor—see; eet Is
man's boot I wear, and scarcely have
•tepped off solid rock. Now we go to
the stream yonder, and Then wade up
through the water. There will he no
trail. Let us not wait, senor."
The man followed without a word,
tombing her with one hand In guid
•nca They were upon a crest of solid
rock, worn smooth by the ages, and so
advanced unchecked for a hundred
feet, until the ridge suddenly term;-
nated at the hank of a narrow stream.
A single step, and both were standing
In the water, and she had grasped bis
hand.
"Eet Is swift, but not deep," she
said confidently. "I have waded eet
many a time. We muat hurry."
He took the bag of provisions and
swuug It across one shoulder nnd to-
gether they began plowing their way
through the downward rush of water.
It was tiresome, hut they plunged
steadily forwurd. finding the bottom
firm. Shelby did not know how far
they advanced, nor could he tell. In
th« darkness, the exact nature of their
sarroundlngs. His Impression was
thaf they were penetrating a narrow
aide ravine, between great overshad-
owing masses of outcropping stone,
which Intensified the gloom. Every
step took them higher above the floor
of the Hole, and, at times the stream
became a veritable torrent, against
which they scarcely could make prog
ress. The girl kept close to the rocks
on the right, and struggled forward
bravely, never loosening her grasp on
hla hand. Meeting as he must the
stronger sweep of the current, Shelby
felt the strain, and was glad when she
Anally came to a halt
"Bet's here," she snld, "a few steps
Bore, and I leave you. The greatest
dauger Is my not getting back in
Ttere was an opening In the solid
tween her lips. "There Is nothing to
do but follow the gulch. A hundred
yards and there Is an opening at the
right, 11 small cave. Tou will feel eet
with your hand. Tou need have no
fear to enter, and no one cun ever find
you there. That is where you will
wait until I come."
Shelby tried in vain to distinguish
her outlines; he could only be sure of
her presence by tbe voice.
"Do not use any fire," she went on
warnlngl.v, "or show yourself by day-
light. They will seek you, and watch
these cliffs. Eet may be several days
before I will dare act; you must be
patient. When we come I will bring
arms, but I didn't dure touch nny to-
night."
"Tou will not tell me where my wife
Is being held?"
"What good, senor! Tou could aid
her not at all. There is no grent harm
Not | coming to her yet. Sncrlsta I why you
there, nnd Shelby, dragging after him
the bag of provisions, removed Ills
coat. A few moments later he rolled
It Into the form of a pillow, nnd lay
down, sin ring up at the hlnck vault.
He could think now. recall all that
had occurred so swiftly, and weave
this nnd that together. He had acted
recklessly; there was no doubt of
that. No one but a blind fool would
have ever ventured alone Into this
plnce to free a prisoner. He should
have ridden to Ponca. nnd called upon
his friends for help; perhaps lie might
even have been able to obtain the
services of a troop of cavalrymen from
the fort down below—the major knew
lilm and would believe his story. Why
hadn't he done this? Why had he been
so rash, and bull-headed? The an-
swer flashed into his mind, as though
some voice had spoken—It was love
of Olgn Carlyn I He knew It Instant-
ly ; made no further effort to deceive
himself. Lying there In that black
silence, staring blindly upward, he saw
the woman again as plainly as though
In the flesh—saw her. and knew that
he loved her. Her eyes smiled at him,
with such wistfiilness In their depths;
there was nothing sullen about her ex-
pression any longer; she was all wom-
an. and—he loved her.
He covered his eyes with an arm,
and rolled over. God I wasn't there
anything lie could do but wait? lie
felt wild to act; to accomplish some-
thing; to strike some definite blow In
her behalf. His wife! She was his
wife—Olga Carlyn! It meant much to
him now. How deathly still It was;
how terribly dark. He felt hot and
stifled there In the cave, yet did not
move, or change IiIb position, nnd so
he finally fell asleep.
OHAPTER X.
The Darkness of the Cabin.
It was broad daylight—a dull gray
within the small cave, but bright sun-
shine without—when Shelby aroused
himself, nnd looked about In an in-
atnnt of bewilderment. As the truth
of his situation reasserted itself, he
sat up, conscious of stiffness In every
Joint, yet reinvigorated by several
hours of rest. He faced a day of In-
activity, a hard demand upon n man
of his temperament, and he was as
slow as possible over a meager break-
fast, his eyes continually wandering
toward the narrow opening, as his
mind again reviewed the occurrences
of the day before.
Finally, unable to resist the tempta-
tion longer, lie ventured to thrust his
head through the entrance to learu
something more definite as to his sur-
roundings. All he could perceive was
the shelf of rock, with a considerable
coping about Its outer edge, together
with a few feet of the descending
trail. On the other hand a new cleft
entire course of the Cottonwood, or
even discern the waterfall benenth
which he had entered the Hole. Tet
he had a glimpse of that main stream,
could pick out what he believed to be
the log house from which lie had es-
caped, while, within n grove so as to
be scarcely distinguishable, appeared
the roof of another, smaller building.
He would not have noticed tills, but
for a thin spiral of smoke arising from
the chimney. Pancha had said the
place where Olgn wns confined was
visible from this spot. Could tills be
It? He stared down a long while, but
without reward.

worry about her? I bring her with
me; did I not promise?"
"Tes, I trust you. Pancha," he said
warmly, "and will do just what you
say. Hut—but. don't you understand?
If I knew where she was I would feel
better."
She laughed almost scornfully.
"Bah! what the difference, senor?
Tou not know If I told you. But 'tla
not fnr away; perhaps by daylight
yo« might see eet fVom up there; a log
j house nil alone under the bluff. Tet
J you lie hid, senor, and trust all to me."
j "1 have promised that,"
i "Good, senor; 1 will go."
She drew her hnnd away, and he
j knew she was gone, although no move-
' raent of her figure could be dlstln-
J gulshed. Shelby swung the bag of
| provisions ngaln to his shoulder, nnd
began feeling Ills way blindly forward.
He had retained the knife, with
which lie had effected escape from the
cabin, and. although the point of the
blade bad been broken, he did not feel
entirely unarmed. There was no pos-
sibility for I1I111 to lose the way, the
unbroken walls shutting him tightly
In, so that even the star-decked sky
was invisible, while the path he must
follow led almost dizzily upward. It
was boulder strewn, and he fell twice,
yet tolled steadily on. never permit-
ting his blind to leave the guldunce of
the wnll to the right, nnd carefully
testing the placing of each foot In
fenr of some pitfall. He could neither
Judge time nor distance, yet It was
long before light came Into the sky,
when he filially clambered over a rock
barrier at^oss the path, and came
upon a shelf of stone, the left wall of
this strange cavern abruptly disap-
pearing. fearful of what precipice
might yawn there, as soon as he again
nttuiiied his feet Shelby flattened him-
self against the one rock front renmin-
