mean, don't get one for me. I'm stopping here"
But" Alan started to protest
She gave him pause with weary gesture
"Peasel It's no good arguing Mr. Law: I've
made up my mind can be most helpful here, by
my fathers side.' she asserted, and nodded at
Urine with significant smile that maddened him.
He needs me-and no harm can come to me- I'm
pretty well able TO take care of myself"
At this the innocent bystander breathed UNI
heard but fervent little prayer of thanksgiving,
whose spirit he doubted not shared by Alan.
For it stuck in the memory of Barcus that their
friend the prospector (whOse shack had sheltered
Rose and Barcus after their transit of the desert
and prior to the man-made avalanche which had
afforded this temporary immunity from pursuit.
had mentioned in the hearing Of Rose the fact that
his string of burros limited to three.
This then, must have been the nub of the lovers
quarrel; Roses insistence that Judith be left be-
hind Alan's reluctance to consent to this lest he
convict himself of the charge of rank ingratitude
remembering the great service his erstwhile antag
onist had done him.
II only Judith might not find cause to change
her mind
He set himself sedulously to divert Judith with
the magic of his conversational powers-an OFFER
ing indirerently received He was still blithey
gossiping when Judith flung away to her sisters
side.
The ensuing quarrel seemed but the more por-
tentous in view of the restraint imposed upon
themselves by both parties thereto.

when the tinkle Of mule-bes sounded down the

the canyon. to either side of the wagon-trail In
twinkling she had lost herself to view in their
labyrinthine shadows
The remainder of that business was transacted
rapidly enough. There were no preparations to be
made; once Alan had ridden up with his three
burros, nothing remained but to mount and make
off without delay.
Before morning they all riding like
many hypnotized subjects, fatigue bearing so
heavily all their senses that none spoke or
cared to speak. Barcus often caught himself
nodding in the saddle that he had little doubt he
slept through long stretches of that perious way.
Broad daylight surprised them in this state, Still
stubbornly travelling; and shortly afterward showed

the sheds and tethered the burros out Of sight
when Alan collapsed as if drugged. while Barcus
who had elected himself to keep the first watch
and purpOsed doing it in a sitting position, with
his back against the door-iamb. felt sleep over
coming him like dense, dark cloud.
III-THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH
Awakening befe Mr. Barcus in a fashion sufh
GENTLY sharp and startling to render him indifer
ent to the beneficial effects OF some eight hours
of dreamess slumber
He discovered himself lying fiat on his face with
somebody's ineonsderate, heavy hand purposey
grinding the said face into the aged and splntery
planks of the shed flooring At the same time
other hands were busy binding his together
by the wrists and lashing the same to the small
of his back by means of a cord passed round his
middle While his natural II somewhat spasmodic
efforts to kick we're sadly hampered by the fact
that his ankles had already been secured by means
of half dozen halfhtches and square knot.
His hands attended to- his head was released
Promptly he lifted It and essayed a yell effort
rendered abortive by the gag that was thrust be
tween his teeth the instant his Jaws opened.
Then he heard a laugh, a cold and mirthless
chuckle
Now the blood of Thomas Barcus ran cold Cor he
thought it did; which amounts to much the same
thing. For if his senses had played fair the
laugh he had heard was the laugh Of Mr.. Mario
phat head-devil in the service Of Seneca Urine.
He twisted his head to one side and glancing
the other way at the cost of splinter in his nose
the effort was repaid by the discovery Of Rose
Urine in plight like unto his Own-wrists and ankles
bound, gagged into the bargain-the width OF the
shed between them
But Of Alan Law, no sign
The heart of Mr.. Barcus checked momentarily;
he shut his eyes and shivered in uncomfortable
seizure OF dread
Then, tormented beyond endurance by the fears
he suffered for the safety of his friend. he began
to wriggle and squirm like a crippled snake, pain
fully nching his way across the floor toward Rose
with what design, heaven alone knowsl Dimly
his mental vision comprehended the bare POSSIBLE
iy of his being able, with his fast-numbing fingers,
to work loose the knots at Roses wrists; but deep
in his heart he knew this to be nothing but the
forlornest of hopes
With infinite pains he had contriyed to bridge
the distance by half possibly not quite so much,
when a dark body put the sunlight of the open
doorway into temporary eclipse Another followed
it. Boots dumped heavily on the flooring The
laugh sounded again. apparently in ironic appre-
citation of Mr.. Barcus efforts Two pairs of hands
seized him. one beneath the shoulders. the other
beneath the knees and he was lugged laboriously

lance, and deposited unceremoniously within a few
feet of the mouth Of the abandoned mine
Then he was left to himself once more but only
for a few moments; the interval ended when the
two appeared again. this time bringing Rose In
similar fashion.
Not until she had been put down beside him did
he discover that Alan likewise captive
trussed TO a tree at some distance.
The remaining arrangements OF their captors
were swiftly and deity contaminated, though their
design remained obscure TO Mr.. Barcns until he,
after Rose. dumped like bale into a huge
bucket, and therein by means Of rope and windlass
lowered 10 the bottom Of the shaft-a descent, he
estimated shrewdly, Of something like a hundred
feet
hideous screeching followed, the protests Of
rusty and greaseess machinery Twisting his
neck, Barcus saw the dim opening Of the shaft

These ceased-and the silence was broken by
Alans voice.
"Barcusi"
The latter gruntsd soulfully by way Of answer:
he could do no more.
I've worked my gag loose" Alan pursued in a
hurried whisper, "but my hands are tied behind
my back Are yours? Grunt once for YES"
Dutifully Barcus grunted a solitary grunt
Then roll over on your face and give me
chance at your bonds with my teeth I ought to be
able to work them free that way. given time i"
Soon all were free Of their bonds Alan was
first to speak.
"Barcus-old mani"
"Yes?"
Did you notice what that BLACKBOARD had fixed
up?'
What do you mean?"

Thoughtfuly Mr. Barcus returned his attention
to the lovers.

opinion. II not an argument acute enough to
deserve the name Of quarrel but undoubtedly the
two we're at odds upon some queston-Rose in

This last gave way in the end, shrugged returned
to the car.
I'm going back up the trail" he announced, and
hesitated oddly.
Feeling the need of some little exercise no
doubt Barcus suggested.

began to explain, ignoring the interruption

This was simply a spot where the trail came
abruptly to an end side of a cleft In the
hills quite thirty feet wide and several hundred IN

Alan tested the bridge cautiously. Il bore him
He returned, helped Rose to cross, and with her

in his hands and aided by a Barcus unaffectedly
