The girl was silent. He endured her
stare for a long minute, a spark OF
rage kindling to fame the evil old eyes.
Then his one living member that
had power to serve his iron will,
hand like the claw of a bird of prey,
moved toward a row of buttons sunk
in the writing-bed of his desk.

With a quick movement the girl

in her strong fingers. With her other
hand, at the same time, she whipped

took from it a revolver which she
placed at a safe distance.

gesture of his left hand, he began to
curse her

oaths blistered his thin old lips, dedi-

slipped from the room and, closing the
door securely, within another minute

at the canoe on every hand, whose
mad clamor beat back and forth be-
tween the walls of the gorge like vast
bellowings of internal mirth.
He fought like one possessed.
There was never an instant's grace
for judgment or execution; the one
must be synchronous with the other
both instantaneous, or else-destruc-
ton.
The canoe wove this way and that
like an insane shuttle threading some
satanic loom. Now it hesitated, nuz-
cling gigantic boulder over which
the water wove a pale green and
glistening hood, now in the space OF
a heartbeat it shot forward twice its
length through sea of dreaming
waves, now plunged wildly toward
what promised instant humiliation

plunge of paddle, guided by luck or
Instinct or both.
The one ray of hope in Alan's mind
when he surveyed before committing
himself and the woman he loved to
that hideous gauntlet, sprang from
the fact that, however rough, the
rapids were short. Now, when he had
been in their grasp a minute, he
seemed to have been there hours.
His laborings were tremendous, una
belieyable, inspired In the end they
were all but successful. The goal of
safety was within thirty seconds
more of quick, hard work, when Alan's
| paddle broke and the canoe swung
| broadside to boulder, turned turtle
| and precipitated both headlong into
that savage weller.

was fighting like mad thing against
| overwhelming odds. Then, of sud-

mechanically in the smooth water of
a wide pool beyond the lowermost

near by, and Rose supporting herself
with one hand on it.

structions to transfer her hand to his
shoulder, and struck out for the
nearer shore.
Both found footing at the same
time and waded out, to collapse, ex9

Then, with a sickening qualm, Alan
remembered the pursuit. He rose and

view the last swift quarter of the
canoes descent: Judith in the bow,
motionless, rife across her knees, in
the stern an Indian guide kneeling
and fighting the waters with scarcely

Like living thing the canoe
seemed to gather itself together, to

it hurdled the eddy in bound, took
the still water with mighty smash.
and shot downstream at diminished
speed, the Indian furiously backing
water.
AS though that had been the one
moment she had lived for, Judith
lifted her rife and brought it to bear
upon her sister.
