I was getting to feel something ilk© con tempt for my intended father-in-law It is not easy to respect a man who, under whatever stress of circumstances, allows another man to make a slave of him, "It was that fellow Slurk, and he de serves a good horsewhipping for it!' 1 re plied Birchmore, thrusting his hands resolutely into his pockets. "1 think he deserves at least that," 1 rejoined, with* a significant laugh, "and whenever you're inclined to operate on him I'll stand by you." Mr. Birchmore said no more, and we went down stairs in silence. Kate was already seated in the carriage Slurk was on the box, with a large basket con taining our provisions for the day be side him. Mr. Birchmore and 1 took om places—one of us, at least, with a heavy heart. The landlord stood at the door and nodded us a surly farewell "Where is Christina?" I asked him. "She has gone to the town to sell eggs; did the Herr want anything?" "I should liked to have sent for a screwdriver, but probably I can get one ou our way back," was my answer, and with that we drove away, In about half an hour, proceeding by J unfrequented roads, we came in sight of Kohlstein. It was a vast four sided mass of gray rock, seamed with doepi clefts and fissures running horizontally and vertically, so that it appeared to have been built of gigantic blocks of stone. It was considerably over one hundred feet in sheer height, and it stood upon a rising ground of shifting sand. Slender trees grew here and there, out of the crevices of its headlong sides and straggled nakedly along its level summit, outlined against the Bky, It was an ideal place for a robber strong hold; impregnable, certainly, to any at«i tack save that of the heavest modern artillery. ; "We must get out and walk from here," remarked Mr. Birchmore. "There's only one way of getting to the top, and that's on the other side. I have got a touch of my rheumatics today and hardly think I shall be able to do the Climbing. 1 However, that needn't interfere with, you young people, of course." : I exchanged a covert look with Kate as I helped her to descend from the car riage, and she pressed my hand and smiled. 1 admired her courage as much as I lamented the apparent lack of it in her father. The horse having been un harnessed and tethered where some cool grass grew beside a stream, we struck off across the sandy upland; Slurk car rying the big basket, Mr. Birchmore walking with a rather feeble step near him, and Kate and lin front. It was an even hotter day than yesterday, and the tramp was a wearisome on©. By the time we arrived at the foot of the Stein, we were quite ready to rest a few minutes in the shadow of the rock, for | coolness and breath, "No, I can't do it!" said Mr. Birch more, wiping his forehead and glancing hopelessly up at the narrow white foot path that seemed to mount almost straight upward to the distant summit. "Just leave me here, with a few sand wiches and a bottle of hock, and I shall do very comfortably till you come back." It was certainly very arduous work clambering up that ladderlike path, and I doubt whether Kate's determina tion and mind would have held out had the motive which urged us been merely one of curiosity. But the top was gained at last, and we threw ourselves down on the dry grass to rest "and to be fanned by the welcome breeze that blew there, Slurk placed the basket in a little hoi low whtere some bushes kept off the di rect rays of the sun and stretched him self at full length beside it. "Now let us walk about," suggested "Kate, at length, in an undertone; "we must see what there is to be seen," We had already arranged all the steps by which we were to proceed to the achievement of our purpose and we felt that the sooner it was ended now the better. The surface on which we stood, though preserving a general level, was full of irregularities and uneven ( ness; it was overgrown with low bushes and parched grass, with perhaps half a dozen starved and meager trees. Here and there the naked rock jutted forth from the thin soil, crumbling and weather worn, its surface stained in places with dry lichens. The entire table was scarcely two-thirds of an acre in area; and a more forlorn and uncon genial spot it would be hard to find, even in the midst of summer. The cave in which the robbers lived was somewhere lower down; we had passed its entrance on our way up; but it was here proba bly, that an outlook was kept over the country, to spy out the approach of vic tims or of enemies. It struck me that it ( was hardly worth while to be a bandit, if one must put up with such bleak and unattractive duarters in which to carry on the business. Kate and I wandered over this barren summit hand in hand. The moment was now very near that was to make a great change in the world for both of us. We felt, somehow, as if we were taking leave of a certain part of oar lives then. At least I remember gazing out across the wide expanse of sunlight country that stretched far away on every side and wondering whether it would look the same an hour hence. Slurk all the while lay beside Ms basket and appeared to be asleep. We came to the brow of a sort of shelf or shallow declivity, descending which we found ourselves on a lower level by some sis or seven feet; and so much of the area as lay behind us ceased to be visible. Advancing a few paces farther, we paused abruptly on the edge of a dark, profound cleft, which gaped right at our feet, It was so narrow that ono might easily leap across it at its widest part; but it was so deep that, for all that I could see, it might descend to the very base of the Stein. Peering down ward earnestly, however, my eyes, be coming accustomed to the gloom, could dimly discern what seemed to be a bot tom at a depth of not more than twenty feet. "It's an awful thing to do, after all!" I murmured, after a long inspection, looking up at Kate. "Are you ready?" was all her answer. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
