rocks. Ahead four horses, covered
with sweat, were painting and heaving
as IL In great distress after their mad
run Aunt Fanny was still moaning
and praying by turns In the bottom Of
the carriage. Darkness was settling
down upon the pass, and objects a hun
dred yards away were swallowed by
the gloom. There was no sound save
the blowing of the tired animals and
the moaning of the old negress. Bever-
lv realized with a sinking heart that
thev were alone and helpless in the
mountains, with night upon them.
She never knew where the strength
and courage came from, but she forced
amen the stubborn coach door and
scrambled to the ground, looking fran
xcally in all directions for a single
sign of hope. In the most despairing
terror she had ever experienced she
started toward the lead horses. hoping
against hope that at least one cf her
men had remained faithful.
A man stepped quietly from the inner
side of the road and advanced with the
uncertain tread of one who Is overcome

and wore an odd, uncouth garb. The
falling light told her that he was not
one of her late protectors. She shrank

to fly to the protecting arms OF hopeless

By this time they had struck ae'
scent in the road and were rushlhs
along at breakneck speed into oppress-

her cries we're falling upon purposeiy

into the seat, weak and terror stricken
If was plain to her that the horses were
not running away, for the man had
been lashing them furiously' Ihere
was but one conclusiOn-he was denp
erately taking her farther into the
mountain Businesses, his purpose
known only to himself. A hundred ter
rors presented themselves to her as
she Law huddled against the side OF the
coach. her eyes closed tightly, her ten
der body tossed furiously about wltI
the SWAY of the vehicle. There was the
fundamental fear that she would be
dashed to death down the side or the
mountain, but apart from this hel
quick brain was evolving all sorts OF
possible endings-none short of abso

Even as she prayed that something
might intervene to check the mad rusf
and to deliver her from the horrors o.
the moment the raucous voice OF tn
driver was heard calling to his horses
and the pace became slower. The aw
full rocking and the jolting grew les
severe, the clatter resolved itself into
broken rumble, and then the coaci
stopped with mighty lurch.

poor Beverly Calhoun, no longer a dis

In alarm.
From far of came the sound OF hre'
arms. A dozen shots were fired ana
reverberated down through the gloomy
pass ahead of the coach.
"They are fighting somewhere In the
hills in front of u.s." answered the now
frightened officer. Turning quickly, ne
saw the deserting horsemen halt, listen

He cried out sharply to the driver;
'Come, there! Turn round! We have

With savage grin. the hitherto
motionless driver hurled some insult

ready following his men, now in full
flight down the road, and settling him
self firmly on the seat, taking a fresh
grip of the reins, he yelled to his
horses, at the same time lashing them
furiously with his whip, and started
the coach ahead at fearful pace. His
only thought was to get away as far
as possible from the Russian officer,
then deliberately desert the coach and
its occupants and take to the hills.
