right foolishness in the head! sup

Don't be an asst" Alan responded
temporarily, gathering the reins to-

to the stirrup. who warned US yes
terday in time to prevent our being
crushed by that rock? Judith! Why
was she separated from Marrophat
and the others-alone up there when
that beast sneaked up behind hero,
l saw him saw it all-and grabbed
her and roped her to that bronco-if
1t wasn't because she had broken with
them for good and all and started to
fight on our side?"
You're raving," Barcus commented
in hopeless tone. He looked to the
girl. "Rose-Miss Trine-reason with
this mailman"
Dropping the glasses, the girl came
swiftly and confidently to her lovers
side, lifting her lips to his.
Co. sweetheart" she told him.
Save her if you cant"
Did you dream for an instant Rose
would see her own sister carried to
her death if anything could be done
to avert it-no matter what we may
have suffered at Judith's hands?"
With an indignant grunt, but con-
siderate none the less, Mr.. Barcus
caught up the glasses and turned his
back.

to ignore the hand Alan offered him
from the saddle. I've got no patience
with you But go!" he insisted,
of a sudden selling the hand and
pressing it fervently. and God go
with you, my friend!"
Then hoofbeats drumming on the
hard-packed earth of the canyon trail
struck a hundred echoes from it's
rugged, rocky walls.
Mr.. Barcus showed Rose Urine
face almost ludicrous with it's an
guished smile that was intended to
seem reassuring.
Lets look sharp and follow him
as quick as may be-" he urged Light

two trails Joined and struck out across
the desert. And here he discovered
what he thought indisputable indica-
ton that the fright of Judith's horse
had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion
of returning through the hills by the
ridge-trail, he turned and swung away
at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho, delivering himself into
the pitiless embrace of that implaca-
BILE wilderness of sun and sand.
At long intervals he would check
the broncho and, Keeling in his saddle,
endeavor to sweep the desert with his
binoculars.
And toward the middle of the after
noon he fancied that something re-
warded one such effort; something
for an instant swan athwart the field
of the glasses: something that seemed
to move like a weary horse with a
human figure bound to its back.
But now the phenomena were dis
cernible which, had he been more des-
ert wise, would have made him pause
and think before he ventured farther
from those hills, already beyond
reach as they were.
His first appreciated warning came
when the surface of the desert seemed
to lift and shake like the top of a
