CHAPTER XII.

a THOUGH the cyclone in which
n Gordon Kelly was caught
passed several miles to the
West of the bungalow where Mildred
Deery lived, that young woman was
terrified by the electrical storm that
pervaded the whole mountain section.
Gordon did not call on the telephone
that night as was his custom and she
was disappointed, but concluded that
the storm put the line out Of order,
The first she knew that anything had
happened to Gordon was shortly after
sunrise next morning when Steve ar
rived at the bungalow in a car, Slip
ping on a kimuno, Mildred went to
her bedroom window and demanded
to know what was wanted. Steve
asked If his master was there. On
being told that he was not, Steve
related to Mildred how they had gone
together to repair one of the tele-
phone instruments, that he had been
sent back for tool, that cyclone

had swept close to where he had left
his master and that when he returned
to the spot Gordon had disappeared.
Fearing his master had been caught
in the cyclone, Steve had hurried back
to the mansion and searching parties
were sent out. They worked until
late in the night without success. On
the chance that Gordon might be at
the bungalow Git turned out that the
telephone between the mansion and
the bungalow was out of order) Steve
had driven there in the car to make
inquiries.
Mildred was almost frantic when
Steve finished his story.

morning to find him?" she cried.

outside the doorsill she saw a piece OF
paper under a stone. She seized it and
read the note Gordon had written to
her on the first night of his captivity.
She uttered a glad cry and rushed into
the house to tell her mother. Return

CHAPTER XIII.
The Confession.

Burke was a persistent man, and
he had set himself to getting the muir
derer of Griggs. Fooled in his efforts
thus far by the opposition of Mary
he now gave himself over to careful
thought as to a means of procedure
that might offer the best possibilities
of success. His beetling brows were
drawn in a frown Of perplexity for a
full quarter of an hour, while he rest
ed motionless in his chair an unlight-
ed cigar between his lips Then, at
last, his face cleared; a grin of sat
isfaction twisted his heavy mouth,
and he smote the desk joyously.

He pressed the button call and or

usual to him in his work.

And, when he had been answered in
the negative: "Or that we've got
Chicago Red and Dacey here?"
NO" Cassidy replied. He hasn't
been spoken to since We made the
collar. He seems worried" the
detective volunteered.
Burkes broad jowls shook from the
force with which ne snapped his jaws
together.
Burke Reflected.

regarded Cassidy speculatively. DO

A Wild Ride.

At last when his horse seemed
about to drop from exhaustion, Cain
allowed him to come to walk. He
slipped from the saddle and, secur-
ing the strips Of leather that dan
gled from the bit, he tied a knot in
them ana then stopped to listen. At
first he could hear no sound, but soon,
in the stiffness Of the night he heard
the four distinct hoOfbeats Of a walk
ing horse. The black bearded man
was in close pursuit but he, too, was
giving his horse breathing spell.
Cain vaulted in the saddle and forced
his horse to tho iimi.
1t seemed to Cain as If the race
would never end, but at last he heard
the screech of a locomotive and he
knew he was quite near the railroad.
But a moment later he heard the clat-
ter Of hoofs behind him. He drew
his knife from his pocket opened 1t
and cruelty jabbed the ribs and quiv-
ering TANKS of his horse. The ami
NAL, ready to drop from fatigue
sprang forward under the pain. Cain
saw the flashing headlight Of the To-

the crossing. Horses and horsemen
were nearing the track. Cain made
one supreme effort to get his mount

Despite the roar Of the passing train,
he heard the pounding of horses hoots

sat dumfounded. She rose swiftly,
and went to the nearest window, and,
with a pun at the cord, sent the shade

Dan, Take Her Back.

The doorman appeared with that
automatic precision which made him
valuable In his position, and the In
spector hailed the ready presence
with a feeling of profound relief.
Dan, take her back" he said, fee
bly,.
Mary was smiling still as she went
to the door. But she could not resist
the impulse toward retort
"Oh, yes" she said, suavely; you
were right on the level with me,
weren't you, Burke? Nobody here but
you and mel" The words came in a
sing-song Of mockery.
The Inspector had nothing in the
way of answer-only sat motionless
until the door closed after her. Then,
left alone, his sole audible comment

Gains horse probably knew the way

At any rate, the man had no means
of guiding the animal and was
forced to let the brute take his own
course, as the ends of the bride were
dangling from the bit. He urged him

One glance was enough. Cain re-
turned to the beating Of his horse
with redoubled vigor.
Night was coming on and soon 1t
was so dark that Cain could hardly
see his hand before him. But the
horse kept plunging ahead, urged by
the frightened rider. Cain feared to
stop and listen. He feared to turn
his horse aside and let his pursuer

There was another whose spirit was

once again he was beaten at his own

had no defense to offer. He did not

time in framing an answer to Cain

The rest Of the journey was made
