as often he caught himself IN time.
AS on the outward race, Patricia was
looking straight ahead and giving the
little car every throb of speed there
was in it. None the less, he could see
that she had it under perfect control.
What happened came with the sud
denness of the thunderc1ap following
the bolt that strikes near at hand.
The approach to the mouth of ShOnoho
canyon was.down long incline with
gentle curve near the bottom to hide
the canyon entrance until they were
wfthiny hundred yards of it. Blount
had a momemtary glimpse Of some
barrier-a tree, he took it to be
lying across the tnain road. Seeing 1T,
he realized in the same instant that
Patricia was neither releasing the
clutch nor applying the brakes After
that there was barely time to snap the
switch and to throw the heavy glass
wind shield down before the devas-
tatingAcrash came.

are faring and sensitive. The mouth
is perfectly formed and of a substan-
tial size, and the line of the jaw is
beautifully rounded.
According to a recent interview
with Princess Cecile, she owes her
splendid health-and therefore, since
beauty is the result of healthier
beauty, to the great amount of time
spent in exercise. Her interests are
varied and manifold. She is out doors
a great deal, and the chubby, sturdy
youngster in her arms is ample testi-
mony to the effect that she carries
her good-sense living into the nur-
sery.
Her hair is another one of her great
beauties. 1t has been said that the
reason for this lies in the fact that

which his two companions were al
ready urging their mounts. Two sec
cnds later the big car had stopped at
the tree barrier, and six men with
Winchesters were popping the halt Sig
nal at the flying highwaymen. 1t was
speedily effective, and when the game
was bagged the senator swung down
from the driving seat Of the big italian
car and gave his orders briefly.
'HTake these fellows up yonder to the
hotel at the canyon head and see that
they're kept out Of mischief till to-
morrow night, Granger" he said, sim
CLING out the leader of his tonneau
squad. Then tell the gentleman you'll
find bossing things up there that the
Jig is up and he may as well come to
the city. He'll find me at the Inter
Mountain when he wants to talk it
over.''
A little engineering feat, made posi-
BILE by the big cars towrope, soon
cleared the way, and when the great
ear, with the two women in the ton
neau and Evan in the seat beside his
father, was devouring the miles in the
straightaway race to the city the
young man said what was due.
ST was blaming you for the tree and

davits away from me-" was what he
broke the humming silence to say, and
the senator nodded.
'T guess it was pretty lucky we had
our ears to the cut-in on McV1ckar's
| private wire up yonder at WartTace,"
he said, but that was all that he said.
The courthouse clock was just strik-
ing when the huge touring car, with
its radiator sizzling hot, came to a
Etand before the entrance to Judge
Hemingway's chambers.
you're still in time, son. said the
senator quietly.
But Evan B1ount made no move to
| get out of the car.
"Was jumping at CONCLUSIONS, dad p
he asked half shamefacedly,
"a little that way-just a little that
way" was the gentle reply. 'You see,
Gryson did sure enough turn traitor
this morning when he gave you those
afhdavits. He'd had a quarrel with
Mr.. McVickar. Every one of those
crooked names means a vote for your
railroad, son. That was why I told
you you'd better not boiler out about
| It. It was against your own side"
Evan Blount's hesitation might have
been measured by a clock tick.
Then there is all the more reason
Why he began, but his father was
once more putting the clutch in.
mo-" he interrupted, still in the
same gentle tone; don't let's jump at
any more conclusions, Evan. Wait
just a little while. There's more to
come-and shouldn't be surprised if
it came before dinner time"
It did come before dinner time-came
