VXT HEN Ruth Gallon did not call

~ self unable to locate her
N49N Charles Everett was at a loss
what to do. He had wired Dorr Of his
anxiety about her and had received
word In reply that the young engineer
had received conflicting messages.
Unhappily FOR the girl. Everett was
rallied out OF town. And 50 when he
found himself forced to make hur-
ried trip to San Francisco her predica-
ment became the more pronounced.
The false Everett, George Drake, took
II upon himself to call at the Ritz for
her mail, and, returning with word
that there was none for her. Ruth felt
a strange premonltlon that matters
were not progressing as they should.
Mrs. Darnell found her gazing out of
the drawing room window, huddled In
q pathetic little heap, detection stamp

"Dearse." purred the hostess. "you
look as II you had lost your last friend
on earth Do cheer up. What Is the

Ruth turned her head, but remained
IN the same queer little attitude, reply

was inside. She purchased violets for

she saw a telephone. Intuitively, rath-

10 her amazement she learned that he

Her news was even more startling

Ruth. Quick action was needed, and,
ieaving Ruth in the car with a pre-
lvaricated excuse. the older women was
soon phoning to Drake, telling him to

lWt turned his horse toward Vale
5%H Vista. He felt in his pockets
k7<a to see how much money he
had He discovered that through an
oversight he had put into his pocket
before leaving the Office the last San
Francisco mint check for something
like $1,000. There was besides this a
couple of hundred dollars.
He pulled this out, stared at It. laugh
ed and went on. "Frisco for mine,"
said he.
The evening sun was pouring Q pale
blue light through a high Pacific fog
when John Dorr came to his senses.
Twenty feet away the machine was
smoldering and the smell Of oil ana
varnlsh lay Ike mlasma In the gulch.
He could hardly breathe. He strug-
gled painfully up the slope toward the
T0ad apd then lost consciousness again.
It was only for moment, for Tom
Kane. desert wise, travelling in the cool
Of the evening. stopped his burros at
the top Of the declivity, wondering
what the fire was. He saw that the
bridge was gone. This might be due
to tramps camped in the dry bed Of
the creek, not attending to their blaze.
He led the burros of the road and
down the slope. only to stop with an
exclamation such as he had not used
in years. John Dorr lay there with
his fingers clutched into the gray
marl
He stopped over and saw that the
body, bulking heavily in the misty
light. still held its vital spark.

The cook peered around and then once

OF the young engineer With great ex

nificently. "And you Just leave this
to me. I've been here since the mine
started, and l guess can attend to II

main thing is to find Ruth. know
she's safe, for nobody would hurt that
little girl. But you've got to go to
Frisco and help her. Likely she's
found herself pretty much stranger
I got lost in New Orleans once. and |
reckon Frisco is bigger"
"rll CO." said Dorr promptly. 'I'll

In Harry Wilkerson's dark heart
there was what he might in his twist

His plans were working out to perfec

that all was well and that she would
have news for him in few days. This
meant that she and George Drake had
done their part. But he wondered why
