 Judson was out of his dodge hole and fitting from pine to pine on the upper hillside in time to see a man leap from the loading platform at the warehouse end of the building and run for the sheltering shadows of the tim bering at the mine entrance. Follow ing closely upon the heels of their mysterious file leader came the two whose footsteps Judson had been tim ing, and these, too, crossed quickly to the tunnel mouth of the mine and dis appeared within it.
 Judson pursued swiftly and without a moments hesitation. Happily for him, the tunnel was lighted at inter- vals by electric incandescents, their tiny filaments glowing. mistily against the wet and glistening tunnel roof. Going softly. he caught a glimpse of the two men as they passed under one of the lights in the receding tunnel depths, and moment later he could have sworn that third, doubtless the man who had leaped from the loading platform to run and hide in the shad

 A hundred yards deeper into the mountain there was a confirming repe- tition of the fashlight picture for the ex-engineer. The two men, walking rapidly now, one step in advance of the. other, passed under another of the overhead light bulbs. and this time Judson, watching for the third man, saw him quite plainly. The sight gave him start. The third man was tall, and he wore soft hat drawn low over his face.
 "Well, I'll be jiggered." muttered the trailer, pulling his cap down to his ears and quickening his pace of I didn't know better I'd swear that was Hallock again or Hallock's shadder follerin' him at a good long range"
 Judson was puzzled. but he did not let his bewilderment tangle the feet of his principal purpose, which was to keep Flemister and his reluctant accomplice in sight. This purpose was presently defeated in a most singular manner. At the end of one of the longer tunnel levels the ex-engineer saw what appeared to be a wooden bulkhead built across the passage and effectively blocking it. When the two men came to this bulllhead they pass ed through it and disappeared, and the shock of the confined air in the tunnel told of door slammed behind them.
 Judson broke into stumbling run and then stopped short in increasing bewildermrnt. At the slamming of the door the third man had darted forward ont of the shadows to fling himself upon the wooden barrier, beating upon it with his fists and cursing like a madman. Judson saw. understood and acted all with the in- stinetive instantaneousness born of his trade of engine driving. The two men in advance were merely taking the short cut through the mountain to the old workings on the eastern slope. and the door in the bulkhead, which was doubtless one of the air locks in the ventilating system of the mine, had fastened itself automatically after F1emister had released it.
 Judson was a hundred yards down the tunnel. racing like a trained sprinter for the western exit. before he thought to ask himself why the third man was playing the madman before the locked door. But that was R matter negligible to him. His affair was to get out of the mine with the loss of the fewest possible seconds of time-to win out. to climb the ridge and to descend the eastern slope to the old workings before the two plot ters should disappear beyond the hope of rediscovery.
 He did his best, flying down the long tunnel reaches with little regard for the precarfous footing. Then he darted out into the moonlight. But as yet the fierce race was only fairly be- gun.
