The next morning Alice Vincent

much publicity was escorted to the
west-bound train"
None save Brice knew that she was
back the same evening. He met her
In a deserted ranch house at the edge
OF the town.
Her thick hair had been shorn in
close copy Of Jose, and her tattered
suit was exactly like that worn By
her worshiper.
Late that night Jose crept up to
the house. Before she had left, Alice
had asked him to meet her there He
neither knew nor cared what she
wanted. 1t took but a moment to
overpower and bind him, and she
had assumed his personality.
It was she who reported to Anscoe
the next morning, and for two days
she worked about the place and suf-
fered his brutal treatment. Then the
opportunity came.
"You will have to ride out this aft
ernoon," announced Ainscoe, and she
departed to saddle the feet pony that
was Ainscoe's pride.
Bravely she started from town,
and Brice watched her go with anxi-
GUS eyes, Some hint OF her direction
she had gained from Jose, and It was

she. "See for yourself"

Alice was &C scious that his eyes
were not fixed upon the queen OF

snatching the card from him and re-
placing it in the pack. Lets get

Once more she shufled the cards,
and handed the pack to him. As she
did so, he thought that her hand
trembled little.
Norris cut the pack boldly, and
turned up--the queen OF hearts!
The honeymoon had stretched itself
far beyond It's allotted time, when
one day Norris said:

ward the now deserted camp.
Only two men had been left In
charge and these were disposed Of In
short order. Then the police settled
down to wait. All through the night
and the next day they mounted
guard. Then Alice, slipping through
the brush from the lookout point,
brought word that the gang was COM
ing back.
All unsuspecting they rode into the
narrow valley, the PASS to which was
so obscure that few could discover II.
Only the little Mexican boy was wait

rode up.

"that everything is all right. We
held up the men and got the whole
bunch. We have more than 800
ounces of dust. Understand?"
"Si, senor." and the 1.-the figure
slipped away.
Alice had Just reached the corner
of one of the cabins when the police
sprang out with leveled rifles. In
stinctively the bandits hands went
up, but the leader, with curse, shot
straight at the fleeing boy and with
little moan Alice dropped.

She reached up and tore away the

Brice roughly bandagod the wound
and helped Alice on the pony. It was
a rough ride and once or twice she
swayed In the saddle. but at last
they drew up In front of the hotel
where already q knot OF the curious
had gathered.
Medical attendance was obtained
and when Brice came the next morn

"And there is positively no hope
for me?" queried Norris.
Likewise, there's always hope, "
replied Alice. "It springs eternal,
you know"
"Then give me chance!" said
Norris, eagerly. "If it is only one
chance in a hundred I'll take it. for
l am fairly desperate"

Alice. "Why should you single out

heaps of girls who"
But want you," he interrupted.
Alice sat In thoughtful silence for

that in the glorious depths of her

"Who is he writing French tor"

Alice looked cautiously about the

''He was writing to the head of the
Tomton band" she whispered. "He
