He found himself staring up into
the black void above him, wherein
the dim. grotesQue shape of the
punka flapped solemnly and silent
ly back and forth, like some queer
bird O. night. The window at his
bedside was an opalescent square
filled with the glamour Of the
stars, and with the pale promise of
the dawn. 1t seemed that breath
of GOODNESS was stirring feebly,
tentatively, over the sterile, arid
face of the earth. But Rand would
not have sworn to it.
Of one thing alone was he sure:
that another being moved in the
darkened obscurity of his room;
that some man, stealthily and for
no good purpose, was creeping, a
step at time, across the floor to-
ward the bed, holding hard his
breath for fear that even it's slight
sound might betray his presence
and unmask his. purpose.

face, has returned to his home ant

hospital. where he was taken fol

and was much surprised when in

It is claimed that Gmmye went to
the Mitchell house in a hack with
a woman, and that after they went
to the room the woman and an
other man soon emerged and hur-
ried away. After that Gmmye was
heard moaning and investigation
found him cut and bleeding. The
last he remembers was that he had
money. When searched in the

Hinton assured him.
Rand assembled to Wheelock's
room, found the latters trunk
packed and locked, in the middle
of the floor, and, with Hinton's
assistance, removed it to the hall

fulness for the coming rest, he I'M

Wheelock, he considered. had

sonal comfort The bed Rand was
resting upon was one calculated to
afford the maximum of GOODNESS
and ease in a climate such as is
Nampa's; and above it punka
swayed ceaselessly throughout the
night, deriving it's motive power
from a noiseless clockwork motor.
Withal, and oddly enough, not
withstanding his great bodily ia
tigue, Rrand was slow to sleep. He

livion; but it came not for hours.
His nerves, overstrained by his

To this must be added the influ-
ence of the unfamiliar atmosphere
of the desert. Rand had travelled
far and long, but the desert was
new and strange to him; and all

from Pullman car windows.
Now the spirit of it entered into
his soul; and, to tell the truth, 1t
awed the young man more than a
trifle. The strained, tense silence,
Ibreathless and everlasting, rang in
his ears more impressively than
would have the thunder of great

live in.
The red moon had glided beneath
the horizon, and Nampa was
wrapped in unoroken darkness, ere
Rand at last dropped off into an
uneasy slumber.
How long that held him he would
have been at loss to guess, but 1t
ended with a curious, unreal sensa-
