Rathway demanded. “I have seen none,” answered Lee, “and, If you remember, I made no guarantee as to It.” “How do I know you haven’t taken Jt^away?” Rathway shouted. ‘‘Ayer you muy have stolen my gold ns you stole my wife.

But the next moment they per ceived that what they had taken for a precipice was a river, inky black, a swift and perfectly soundless stream rushing through the cavern from side to aide of the mountain. 7.
