speakable and to think of Alan as a
mortal enemy and as one whose death
alone could properly requite the cruel
injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its in
satiable fires, she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong in its object Through
all the remainder of that day of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness of the strong.
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger. for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way of that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her; till then
she was content to bide her hour.
1t befell presently in startling fash
ion; she was not yard behind him
when he vanished abruptly.
But the next moment Judith herself
was trembling on the crumbling brink
of an arroyo of depth and width in
determinable in the obscurity Of the
duststorm. Down this, evidently,
Alan had fallen in his dizzy blindness.
She found him insensible, lying with

The Man In the Shadow.

Two hundred feet, if one, Hopi Jim
fell from the lip of the cliff. Then sud-
denly the thing that had been Hopi
Jim Slade was checked in it's headlong
descent by the outstanding trunk of a
tree, over which it remained, doubled
up, limp, horrible -.
The miniature landslide that had
been caused by his fall went on,
settling gradually as the slope be-
came less sheer. Only part of it,
double handful of pebbles, gained the
bottom of the canyon.
It's muf1ed impact on the ground
round his feet reused the man who
had comprised the bandits death from
the pose he had unconsciously as
sumed on the instant of firing.
He stepped back, and snatched up
a case containing binoculars.
Not before the glasses were adjusted
to his vision did he find time to re-
spond absently to the alarmed and in
sistent inquiries of his two compan-
ions, man of his own age and girl
of some years less, who had been
wakened from their sleep by the re-
port of the rifle.
Now the latter plucked his sleeve,
momentarily DETECTING the glasses
from the object which they were fol-
lowing so sedulously as 1t moved
along the heights; wildly running
horse with a woman bound helpless
upon its back, both sharply in sill
houette against the burning blue.
"Alan!" the girl demanded, what
is it? Why did you fire? Why won't
you answer me? What is it?"
Judith" Alan replied tersely, again
picking up with the glasses the run
away horse that fed so madly along
the perilous and narrow track of the
hill trail.
The name was echoed from two
Threats as Alan swung sharply and
thrust the glasses into the hands of
the girl.
Judith" he affirmed with look of
poignant solicitude. She's roped to
the back of that crazy broncho-help-
less! See for yourself; one false step
suppose a stone turns beneath it's
hoof-she'll be killed."
While the girl focused her glasses
upon that speck that flew against the
sky Alan turned to the two horses

CHAPTER XII.
The Trail Of Flying Hoof.Prints.

The Trail Of Flying Hoof.Prints.
In the still air of that young day the
chill of night fingered stubbornly-
and would until the shadow of the
eastern rampant had crept slowly
down the canyons western wall, tele.
scoped upon itself and vanished, let
ting in the sun to make the place a
pit of torment and of burning.
Refreshed from rest and exhilarated
by this grateful GOODNESS, his horse
responded willingly to the first light
touch Of Alan's spur. In a twnkling
the overnight camp dropped from view
behind the rounded shoulder of hill
side, mesquite-cloaked.
Then from it's first spirited flight
the horse settled down to steady 60
ing heightened its stride, and ran for
leagues with the long, apparently eff
fortress and tireless lope of the plains
bred broncho, ventre-a-terre.
Alan's departure from camp had an
ticipated by a round quarter-hour the
appearance on the upper trail of
friends of the slain bandit, to the
number of four or five, who had both
discovered and recovered his body,
called his death murder and pledged
themselves to its ngement-laying
responsibility for the putative crime
at the door of the man and woman
to be seen in the canyon, Immediately
below the scene of Hopi Jim's fall
Between the moment when -discov-
cry of the men on the ridge trail in
terrupted their simple and hurried
breakfast and that which found Rose
and Barcus mounted on the back of
their own horse and making the best
of their way down the canyon in pur-
suit of Alan, but little time had
elapsed
And even with it's double burden,
their horse made better time upon
the broad lower level than those who
followed the ridge trail. BY mid-morn
ing, when they approached the foot
hills that ran down to the desert, the
pursuit was more than a mile in the
rear and shut off to boot by a mono
lithic hill, while Alan was many
weary mile in advance.
He sat upon his horse, just then, at
standstill upon the summit of round
ed knoll, the Painted hills lifting up
behind him, the desert before unfold
ing like a map-but like a map all
blurred,
Was Judith out there, somewhere,
lost, defenseless, forlorn, impotent to
lift a hand to shield her face from the
blast of that savage sun?
No rest for Alan till he knew
Descending the knoll he refined his
tagging mount back into the trail, fol-
lowing its winding course through the
foothills and round the base of that
monolithic mountain toward the juno
ton with the ridge trail, miles away.
1t approached the hour of noon be-
fore he gained the point where the

an arm bent under him in a pose
frightfully suggestive of dislocation.
Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no
sign to indicate that the movement
had caused him the slightest pain.
There was a slight cut upon his
brow, bruise about his left temple.
She tore linen from her bosom, be-
meath her coarse flannel shirt, and with
sparing aid from the canteen, washed
the cut clean and bandaged 1t.
Then, seeing that the storm held
with fury undated, she rose recon
noitered and returned to exert all her
strength and drag the unconscious
man across the dry bed of that ancient
water-course and under the lee of its
farther bank
There, sitting, she pillowed his
head upon her lap, and bending over
him made her body an additional shell
ter to him from the swirling clouds
of dust.
And for hours on end Judith nursed
him there. scarce daring to move
save to minister to his needs, bathing
his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat.
In the course of the first hour she
was once startled by the spectral WIS.,
ion through the driving sheets of dust
of horse that plodded up the arroyo,
bearing two riders on it's back.
Weary with the weight of its double
burden, it went slowly and passed SO
near to Judith that she was able to
recognize the features of her sister
and Tom Barcus.
Be sure she made never a sign to
catch their attention.
Within the next succeeding hour
the coppery light lost something of
its hot brillance, took on a darker
shade, and then one darker still. Twi-
light stole athwart the desert, turning
its heat to chill its light to violet.
Growing more intense, the cold
eventually reused the sleeping man.
And hardly had his eyes Enclosed
and looked up into the eyes of Judith
bending over him than he started up
and out of her embrace, got INSTEAD
lily upon his feet and after a moment
of pause, watching her rise in turn,
strobe away-or, rather, staggered
with the gesture of exorcism.
Uncomplaining, hugging her new
born humility to her with the ecstasy
of the anchorite his horse-hair shirt,
Judith followed him patiently, at
little distance.
Not far from where he had rested
there was a break in the overhanging
wall of the arroyo. Through this he
scrambled painfully, reaching the level
of the desert only after cruel effort,
the unheeded woman at his heels.
A brief pause there afforded both
time to regain their breath and survey
the desert for signs of assistance: it
offered none other than what they
might accomplish through their own
exertions. For leagues in any quarter
it stretched without break other than
the black cleft of the arroyo, cleaning
a bleached and deathly white in the
moonshine-like the face of frozen
world
With tacit consent both turned that
way, Alan leading, Judith his pertina-
cious shadow, with never a word or
sign between them to prove that either
was aware of the Others company

hobbled near by and Selling saddle
threw it over the back of one.
At this the other man turned to his
side and dropping a OBTAINING hand
upon his arm asked:
What are you going to do?"
Alan shook the hand off and went
on with his self-appointed task.
GO after her, Tom, of course" he
replied. What else? That animal is
crazy, l tell you"
Even So" Tom Barcus argued, you

SYNOPSIS.

The 3 of Hearts is the "death-sign" EN-
ployed by Seneca Urine in the private war
of vengeance which, through the agency
of his daughter Judith, he wages against
Alan Law, son Of the man, now dead, who
was innocently responsible for the acct
dent which rendered Urine helpless Grip
pie. Alan loves and is loved by Rose,
Judith's twin and double. Judith VOWS to
compass his death, but under dramatic
circumstances Alan saves her life and So
unwilingly, wins her love. Thereafter
judith is by turns animated by the new
love, the old hatred, and jealousy Of her
sister. In escaping her persecution, Alan
and Rose and their friend Barcus take
refuge in the Painted Hills-a range of
arid mountains bordering the Arizona
deserts. Judith. while pursuing, suffers
change of heart and warns them in time
to avert an attempt upon their lives. In
return for this she is seized by an outlaw
accomphce and bound helpless to the
back of horse. Alan shoots the accom-
plice and the horse runs away. following
a perilous mountain trail.

time a mighty gust of wind swept
athwart the waste, hot as a furnace
blast. In trice dust enveloped mar
and horse, a sitting cloud of super
heated particles that stung the flesh
like myriad needles. And then dark
ness fell, the twilight of hades, a cop
per-colored pail Nothing remained
visible beyond arms length.
Blinded, half suffocated, unspeak
ably dismayed and bewildered, the
broncho swung round, back to the
blast, and refused to bulge another
inch.
Himself more than half-dazed, but
still bounded by his nightmare vision
of Judith, Alan dismounted to escape
being torn bodily from the saddle by
that hellish sand-blast, and Selling
the bride sought to draw the horse
on with him.
He wasted his strength in that en-
deavor: the animal baked, planted
it's hoofs deep in the sand, stiffened
it's legs and resisted with the stub
bornness of rock; then, of a sudden,
jerked his head smartly, snapped the
bride from his grasp and flung away,
scudding before the storm.
Pursuit was out of the question:
indeed, the bride was barely torn
from his hand before Alan lost sight
of the broncho.
For a moment he stood rooted in
CONSERVATION as in a bog-with an
arm upthrown across his face.
Then the thought of Judith re-
CURED. 49,.
Head Bonded and shoulders rounded,
he began to forge way into the teeth
of the sandstone.
How long he fought on, pitting his
strength against the elements, cannot
be reckoned.
In the end he stumbled blindly down
a slight decline and was abruptly
conscious that he had in some way
found shelter from the full force of the
wind.
He staggered on another yard or
two. breathing more freely, and blum
dered into a rough-ribbed wall of rock
some sporadic outcrop, he under
stood, whose bulk stood between him
and the storm.
He thought to rest for time, until
the storm had spent its greatest
strength but as he laid his shoulder
gratefully against the rock and
scrubbed the dust from his smarting
eyes he saw what he at first conceived
to be hallucination: Judith Urine
standing within yard &C him, alive,
strong, free.
He stared increduiously, saw her
recognize him, open her mouth to
utter wondering cry that was inaudi-
BILE. and come quickly nearer
Alan! You came for me! You fol-
lowed me. through all this"
He threw off her hand with bitter
laugh-that was like the croaking of
raven as it issued from his bone-dry
throat-and in momentary possession
of hysteric madness, reeled away from
the woman and the shelter of the rock
and delivered himself anew to the
mercy of the dust-storm.
