CHAPTER III.
A Rescue

d ETH had uttered that one cry only. as man

sat dumbly staring where the two had disap-
peared. Nothing could she see of Van or his
pony A chill Of horror attacked her there in
the blaze of the sun. It was not, even then. 50
much of herself and Elsa she was thinking, two
helpless women, lost in this place of terrible
silence; she was smitten by the fate of their
guide.
Van. for his part, looked about as best he
might, observing his situation comprehen-
sively. He was safe for the moment. The
ledge wherein he was bearing portion of his
weight was narrow and crumbling with old dis
integration. The shrub to which he chung was
as tough as wire cable, and had once been
stoutly rooted in the crevice. Now, however
its hold had been weakened by the heavy
strain upon it-and yet he must continue to
trust part of his weight to its branches!

He deliberately rested and fostered his
breath not trihe of which had been jolted IN
violence from his body. Presently he raised
his voice and called out as cheerfully possible
Ship ahoy! Hullo! Miss Laughing Water!"
For a moment there was no response. Beth
was too utterly overcome to speak. She hardly
dared believe it was his call she heard issuing
up from the tomb. She feared that her hope,
her frantic imagination, her wish to have 1T SO.
had conjured up voice that had no genuine
existence. Her lips moved but made no audi
BILE sound She trembled violently.
Van called again, with more of his natural
power. "Hullo! Hullo. Miss Beth! Are you
up there on the trail?"
"Oh, yes! Oh what shall do!" cried Beth
in sudden outburst of relief and pent-up emo
tons Tell me what to dol"
Van knew she was rather near at hand. The
bridge and trail were certainly no more than
twenty-five feet above his head. He could
make her hear with little effort. :" Brace up and
keep your nerve" he instructed. "Were 0. K,
up to date. Just ride ahead till you come to the
fiat. Let Elsa hold your mare. Can you hear
me distinctly?"
"Oh, yes-yes! Then what next" replied
the worried girl
Van resumed calmly. You'll find raw
hide rope on Elsa's saddle. Come back with
that on foot: then I'll tell you what to do.
Don't try to hurry; take your time and don't
worry" After moment, as he got no reply,
he added, "Have you started!'
Beth had not budged her mare an inch, for
terror of what she must do. She was fortlfying
all her resolution. She answered with genuine
bravery "Yes-I-I'1l do what you say!"
She took up the reins. Her pale face was
set rigidly: but she did not close her eyes to
cross the dizzying brink. The mare went for
ward, and Elsa's bay resumed his patient tag

FOR ten age-long minutes Van waited on his
