port for his foot he drew himself SLOW
ly upward. The slightest slip of hand
! or foot meant instant death now, and
his fingers gripped the stone until
| they grew white and bloodless from
the strain. Slowly he raised HIMSELF,
found another grip and another tiny
support and with an effort that sent
the blood surging to his temples
brought himself gasping one notch
higher. Here again the ascent became
a trifle less precarious for ways, and
another half-hour found him within
few feet of the summit. Here of all
places during the ascent he came the
nearest to plunging the whole distance
to the rocks below but last des-
perate struggle savedk him and weak
and trembling from the supreme eff
fort he threw himself down safely
over the edge. For moment he rest
ed, then cautiously arose and looked
about.

sun was balanced like broad gold
coin poised delicately. It's horizontal
rays swept the plateau upon which no

pursuit scarce vestige remained In
the thin air. Oh, that awful pursuit!
His brain had seethed as a cauldron,
his body reeled like drunken mans,
his numbed limbs responding to the
driving power of his will as mechanic
ally as the unfeeling pistons of ma
chine; the uncanny flying monster
bearing the woman of his heart ever
close before his glazed eyes, while
March, his accursed rival, had ridden
upon his back and borne him down
like an old man Of the sea. At times
it had seemed as though he would go
mad. March! Had he shot him? Yes,
1t dimly seemed to him that he had,
and had left him dead upon the rocks
below. What of It'll Had 1t not been
that he had been compelled to carry
him on his back all day he would have
reached this height an hour before
perhaps would have reached 1t in adj
vance of the flying one and been pre-
pared to meet him as he alighted.
What mattered dead man or two In
a case like this when a dragon was to
be slain and princess-his princess,
to be rescued! He laughed quickly,
sharply, single explosive sound more
like the bark of beast than the
sound of human voice. He turned
and faced the plateau.
Desolation. 1t stretched away in a
broad sweep on either hand, chaotic,
volcanic, numbered with the left over
debris of mountain making-a junk
shop of the unuseable fragments of
creation. Boulders little as pebbles,
huge as houses were strewn on every
side, scattered broadcast grouped In
piles, heaped In monuments. Barren
spaces lay between them. No living
thing invested the solitude save him
self and those to find whom he had so
desperately risked his life in the
ascent. To his disordered mind 1t

he had underestimated the desperation
of the insane mind that lay behind the
leveled weapon. From head to foot
Tolliver quivered like wind
thrummed reed.
Then If you will not listen to me
you shall die like the fool you have
always been" Heavily the weapon
spoke, and Alan Keeling threw up his
hands and came crashing down upon
the rocks, while the other crouching
like a cat over its felled prey watched
him as intently. But no sound came
from the fallen one, no movement. and
thrusting his revolver back into his
pocket he went picking his way over
the jumbled mass, his lips muttering
and face working as his glowing eyes
sought the dizzy way up which he had
pulled himself in that desperate hunt
Of three years before.
