Slowly and painfully these four toiled along an
obscure trail that followed the windngs OF the lit
tie river, until q branch struck into the main
stream and so discovered to them yet another trail
leading into the westward canyon.
Then again slowly and painfully they plodded on
following bndly another trail blazed by Fates as
blind they.
Above them. on the road they had aban doned, the
crimson racer doubled back to the point where II

Bioodhounds could not have settled down upon

The sun was high and blazing above the canyon
when the pursuit came within rife shot OF the
chase.
The spiteful crack reused the quartet from a
pause OF lethargc dismay due to tardy appreciation
of the fact that they had penetrated witlessly al
most TO the end of a blind alley.
A hasty council of war armed Alan with Judiths
revolver and posted him behind q bowlder COM
handing the approaches to the chasm. The
weapon q powerful .45, had a range sufficient to
numb the impetuosty Of the assassins and keep
them under cover and out OF sight of the desperate
essays the fusitiVes were making to compass an

fugitves should be hitched up in pairs against any

But his confidence demonstrated to be pre-

Round the swelling bosom of a wooded mountain

But Tom Barcus hadn't failed to profit by the
warning implicit in Alans accident
He was therefore the alert, quick to see the

At FIRST blush the circumstance seemed surpris.

reminded himself that Marrophat and Jimmy could
not possibly have witnessed the accident involving
Alan and Rose. who together with the wreck OF
their machine remained wellcloaked by the under
brush at the bottom OF the canyon. In all proba-
bility, then, the assassins had assumed that Alan
had hurried on; and since their own fret business
was concerned exclusively with them. they had
done likewise.
AS for Rose and Alan-heaven alone knew what
had happened TO them. So Barcus set himself to
find out whatever Providence knew without more
delay.
To find them not only alive but practically un-
seathed affected that loyal soul almost to tears.
But when congratulations had been mutually en-.

The dead they sleep so deep,
 The dead they lie so still, l wonder that another man
 May look on them, and kill. The dead they lie so pale,
 The dead they stare so deep. wonder that an emperor
 May look on them, and sleep. Their hands are emptiness,
 No dream is in their heart. Their eyes are like deserted rooms From which the guest departs. The living are so fair
 So smiling and so strong But dead men lie like broken lutes Whose dying stays song. Oh, will there come a time
 Beneath some shining king, When we shall arm for liying's sake And turn from numbering? The dead they lie so wan,
 So empty of all breath wonder that a living world
 Can make means of Death. Dana Burnet, in New York Evening Sun. n
