Alan denied it fiercely. Judith, on
the other hand, not only acknowledged
it freely to herself. but secretly de-
rived a strangely sweet and poignant
pleasure from the knowledge that she
loved so madly and hopelessly.
That her love was hopeless she
knew but too well. Even though Alan
might not be altogether Indifferent to
her after all that had passed between
them, his loyalty to Rose was un-
shakable. And not for worlds would

them was, If anything. faster than
Alan's. just as the racing automobile
was faster than either.
Alan kept his gaze steadfast to the
road before them. daring not once to
look up and round or back.
So sinuous and meandering was its
course indeed, that Alan seldom could
see a hundred yards of it ahead. but

And thus catastrophe befeil
Round the swelling bosom Of 4 woor'

sion seemed unavoidable. Barcus and
Judith and the motorcycle occupied
most Of the width of the road; there
was little room between them and the
declivity. less between them and the
forest. To try to pass them on the
latter side would be only to dash his
brains out against the trees; While to
make the attempt on the outside would
be to risk leaving the road altogether
and dashing Off into space {.
And it was impossible to stop the
cycle-so brief was all his warning.
In desperation Alan chose the outside
OF the road; and for the space OF a.
single heartbeat thought that he might
possibly make it, but with the next

front wheel swing off over the lip of

In this business Fortune smiled upon

A broad roadway ran along the top
of the precipice. turning of at a
little distance to the right, to descend
the mountainside. And just beyond
this turning Providence had chosen
to locate the camp OF hydraulic min

Alans appearance at the top. in
fact, was coincident with the arrival
at that point of half dozen excited
miners; and he had no more than

But Tom Rarcus hadn't failed to
