| Sharply there came to her mind the
question: was she the only one abroad
in this black little world? What OF
the other womanf The one who was
being hunted? Where was shef And
what Of the ghost at her heels?
The car bounded over q railroad
crossing. She recalled the directions
given by the man at the station and
hastily applied the brake. There was
another and more dangerous crossing
hundred yards ahead. She had been
warned particularly to take 1t care
fully. as there was sharp curve In
the road beyond.
Suddenly she damned down the
emergency brake, startled exclama-
ton falling from her lips. Not 20
feet ahead. In the middle OF the road
and directly In line with the light of
the lamps. stood black. motionless
fgure-the figure of woman whose
head was lowered and whose arms
hung Imply at her sides.
The woman in the car bent forward
over the wheel. staring hard. Many
seconds passed. At last the forlorn
object In the roadway lifted her face
and looked vacantly into the glare Of
the lamps. Her eyes we're wide-open.

stiffening lips of Sara Wrandall. Her
fingers frightened on the wheel.
She knew. This was the woman!
The long brown ulster; the limp.
nuttering veil? "A woman about your
size and figure" the sheriff had said.
The figure swayed and then moved
few steps forward. Blinded by the
lights. she bent her head and shielded
her eyes with her hand the better to
glimpse the occupant of the car.
Are you looking for me?" she cried
out shrilly. at the same time spread

Mrs. Wrandall caught her breath.
Her heart began to beat once more.

The unsteady figure advanced. Halt

the spare tires and gazed into the
eyes Of the driver. Their faces were
not more than foot apart, their eyes
were narrowed In tense scrutiny.

recently declared by the official can
vassing board to have been elected to
be coutny commissioner from the
second district by majority of FIVE
votes, Tuesday afternoon through his
attorneys, McLain & Pease of Canon
City and Judge Chas. D. Bradley, fled
his answer IN the county court to the
summons in the contest instituted by
George Columbia. his opponent in the
campaign for the position.
The answer makes a general denial
of the allegations set up in Columbia's
complaint and cites illegal votes cast
for the contestor in various precincts
of the county. In his answer Mr.. Nc
Candless asks that the plaintiffs and
contestor's suit be dismissed out of
court, tnat tne ueleuuant anu contee-
tee do have and recover his costs in
the case. and that the county court to
adjudge that the said defendant and
contestee was duly elected county
commissioner from the second com
missioners district of Fremont county
and is entitled to have the said office.
No time has yet been set by the court
for the hearing of the case, but, in all
probability, trial will not take place
for week or ten days.

At present sixty-four men and eight
teams are employed In connection

Denver G Rio Grande and the Santa

order to build the superstructure a
great amount OF preliminary false
