continued to walk. Road, hills. desert, all had
disappeared. To go onward was madness; to
remain seemed certain death. Despair and
horror together gripped Beth by the heart.
There was nothing in the world she could do but
to close her ewes and double above the saddle

With hideous crash the flying roof was hurled
against desert planted pinnacle OF rock not
far away. The wooden wings split upon the
immovable obstruction, and on they went as
before.
The pony had disappeared in panic that
nothing could have allayed. The storm pail
swallowed her instantly. Beth could not have
seen her had she halted rod away. Her eyes
had been opened for half moment only before
she was flung to the earth. She was rolling
now and for the moment was utterly powerless
to rise or to halt her locomotion.
When she presently grasped at little gray

CHAPTER XIV.
A Timely Deliyerance

HOW long she lay there, Beth could never
- have known. 1t seemed time intermin-
able with the horror of the storm in all the
universe. 1t was certainly more than an hour
before the end began to come. Then clouds
and the blizzard of sand and dust, together
with all the mighty roaring, appeared to be
hurled across the armament by the final gust
of fury and swept from the visible world into
outer space.
Only a brisk half-gale remained in the wake
of the huger disturbance. The sky and atmos-
phere cleared together. The sun shone forth as
before, but near the mountain horizon When
even the clean wind too had gone, trailing be-
hind its lawess brother the desert calm became
as absolute as Beth had beheld it in the morn
ing.
She crept from her shelter and looked about
the plain Her eyes were red and smarting.
She was busted through and through. In all
the broad gray expanse there not sign OF
ANYTHING alive Her horse had vanished; she
was lost in the desert, and the night was COM

Deliverance from the storm. or perhaps the
storm S very rage, had brought her a species of
calm The fear she had was a dull, persistent
dread an all pervading horror of her situation,
too large to be acute. Nevertheless, she deter
mined to seek the road with all possible haste
and make her way on foot, as far possible,
toward the Starlight highway and its possible
traffic.
She was stiff from her ride and her cramped
position on the earth. She started off some
what helplessly, where she felt sure the road
must be.
She found no road Her direction may have
been wrong. Possibly the storm of wind had
swept away the wagon tracks; for they had
been faint 1t had been only half road for
several miles. Her heart sank, utterly. She
became confused as to which way she had
travelled. Toward a pass in the hills where she
felt she must have come, she FASTENED with
new accession of alarm
She was presently convinced that she had
