Death. Life and the Resurrection.
The man was coming back from one
of his rare visits to the settlements
Ahead of him he drove a train OF

followed with docility the wise old
leader In the advance. The burros
were laden with his supplies for the
approaching winter. The season was
late, the mountains would soon be i'm
passable on account of the SHOWS, in
deed he chose the late season always
for his buying in order that he might
aot be followed. and 1t was his hab-
It to buy In different places at different
years that his repeated and expected
presence at one spot might not arouse
suspicion.
Intercourse with his fellow men was
confined to this yearly visit to q set
Element, and even that was of the
briefest nature. confined always to the
business in hand. Even when busy
in the town he pitched a small tent In
the open on the outskirts and dwelt
apart. No men there in those days
pried into the business Of other men
too closely. Curiosity was neither
safe nor necessary. II he aroused tran
silent interest or speculation It soon
died away. He vanished into the
mountains and as he came no more
to that place. he was soon forgotten.
Withdrawing from his fellow men
and avoiding their society this man
Sas never so satisfied as when alone
IN the silent hills. His heart and spirit
rose with every step he made away
from the main travelled roads or the
more difficult mountain trails.
For several days he journeyed
through the mountains. choosing the
widest and most inaccessible parts
for his going. Amid the canons and

rods away a speck of white cleaned

pool that he knew.

She stood white breast deep In the wa

second he saw what had alarmed her

seen. There were few of those mon
sters still left in the range: he him
self had killed several.
The woman had not seen him. He
was a silent man by long habit. &C
customed to saying nothing. he said
nothing now. But instantly aiming

and perfect mastery Of the weapon.

CHAPTER v (continued).
Suddenly the rolling thunder peals
concentrated, balls of fire leaped out
Of the heavens and struck the noun
tains where she could actually see
them. There were not words to de-
scribe the, tremendous crashings
which seemed to splinter the hills, to
be succeeded by brief periods OF ST.
lence. to be followed by louder and
more terrific detonations.
In one of those appalling alterna-
lions from sound to silence she heard
q human cry-an answering cry to
her own. II came from the hills be-
hind her. 1t must proceed, she
thought, from the man. She could
not meet that man, although she
crayed human companionship as never
befpre, she did not want his. She could
not bear It Better the wrath OF
God, the fury OF the tempest.
Needless Of the sharp note OF warn.
ing, of appeal, in the voice ere It was
drowned by another roll OF thunder.
she plunged on In the darkness. The
canon narrowed here; she made her
way down the lodges, leaping reck-
iessly from rock to rock. slipping,
falling. grazing now one side, now
the other. hurting herself forward with
white face and bruised body and torn
hands and throbbing heart that would
fain burst its bonds. There was once
an ancient legend. a human creature.
menaced by all the furies, pitilessly
pursued by every malefic spirit OF
earth and air; like him this sweet
young girl, innocent. lovely, erstwhile
happy, fed before the storm.
Then the heavens burst. and the
fountains of the great deeps were
broken open and with absolute lit
teralness the floods descended. The
bursting clouds, torn asunder by the
wild winds, driven by the pent-up
lightning within their black and turgid
breasts, disburdened themselves. The
water came down. as II did OF old
when God washed the face OF the
world, In a flood. The narrow OF the
canon was filed ten. twenty, thirty
feet In a moment by the cloud burst.
The black water rolled and foamed.
surging like the rapids at Niagara.
The body Of the girl. utterly unpre-
pared, was caught up In a moment and
flung like bolt from a catapult down
the seething sea filled with the trunks
of the trees and the debris of the
mountains, tossing about humanity in
the wild confusion. She struck out
strongly swimming more because OF
the instinct of life than for any other
reason. A helpless atom In the boil
ing food, growing every minute great
er and greater as the angry skies dis
gorged themselves of their pent-up
torrents upon her devoted head.

The action OF the electric committee
