In the Clutch.


During the first five minutes of his
frenzy Alan, little better than an In
sane man, ran, frantically along the
gently rising and fairly level floor Of
the gulch, striving with every nerve
and muscle to keep pace with the crea-
ture above, calling Doris by name,
shouting hoarsely at her captor, who
still shielding himself behind the 9TH
er, gazed silently back at him from
over the top Of her head as he tapped
himself further and further into the
distance in a half backwards, half
sidewise flight. Then with the gradual
return OF reason as his wind began
to desert him Me realized the utter fu-
tility OF so exhausting himself that he
could no longer pursue. and with an
effort fought himself back to self-con-
troll and logical reasoning. He glanced
back, Tolliver, staring fixedly upward,
was just coming up on a painting run
and would have passed him without
speaking or slackening his pace had
not March seized him as he was going
by. The look upon Clay's face caused

spine. = Tolliver!" he cried sharply.

half comprehend what the other was

side by side they logged along. March
spoke as best he could between
breaths AZ
1T is unspeakably horrible, but we
must keep our senses If wei would do
our best. And we must work together
land coolly If we would hope to save
her. We must keep on as rapidly as
we can without exhausting ourselves.
and manage somehow to keep him In
sight. He is pretty heavily burdened
and I don't believe he can go far with
out stopping to rest. We must not
run ourselves into the blind staggers
at the outset, for once out of our sight
we would stand little chance Of find
ing him again. Neither would it do
any good for one of us to go back for
help, for all the aeroplanes are away.
What is to be done must be done by
us. And may the good Lord give us
strength" Tolliver not answering and
making no sign that he had heard was
keeping about a yard in advance. q

sharply. Despite their efforts they
had lost sight OF the creature for a few
moments during the climb. but as they
