Broad daylight, the top Of a morn
ing as rare as ever broke upon the
north country: Alan Law opening be-
wildered eyes to realize the substance
of dream come true.
True it proved itself, at least. In
part He lay between blankets upon

ed at the small of his back. All else
had been either consumed in the for
est fire or stolen by his Indian guide
who had subsequently died while att
Stempting to murder his employer.
Since that event, the man had sue
ceeded in losing himself completely.
In seeking shelter from the thunder
storm, he had lost touch with his only
known and none too clearly located
landmarks. Then, after night passed
without fire in the lee of ragged
bluff, he had walked to discover the
sun rising in the west and the rest of
the universe sympatheticaIly upside
down; and aimlessly ever since he had
stumbled and blundered in the maze
of those grimly reticent fastnesses, for
the last few hours haunted by fear
OF falling possessed by a mo-
tion that he was dogged by furtive
enemies-and within the last hour the
puppet of blind, witless panic.
But even as he strove to calm him
self and rest, the feeling that some-
thing was peering at him from behind
a mask Of underground grew intoler-
ably acute.
At length he jumped up, glared wild
ly at the spot where that something
no longer was, flung himself fran
ically through the brush in pursuit Of
1t, and-found nothing.
With a great effort he pulled him
self together, clamped his teeth upon
the promise not again to give way to
hallucinations, and turned back to the
clearing.
There, upon the log on which he
had rested, he found-but refused to
believe he saw-a playing card, a
trey Of hearts, face up in the sun
glare
With a gesture of horror, Alan Law
ned the place.
While the sounds OF his fight were
still loud, grinning half-breed guide
stole like shadow to the log, laughed
derisively after the fugitive. picked up
and pocketed the card, and set out
In tireless, cat-footed pursuit.
An hour later, topping ridge Of
rising ground, Alan caught from the
hollow on It's farther side the music Of
clashing waters. Tortured by thirst,
he began at once to descend in reck-
less haste

now and then Of the support of ce-
dar, but these grew ever smaller, and
more widely spaced and were not al
