 troubling to saddle it, lifted the girl to it's back, and placed her there, face upward, catching her hands and feet, as they fell on either flank of the ami mal, with more loops of that unbreak- able rawhide, and deftly placing the master knot of the hitch that bound this human pack well beyond possi- bility of her reach.
 She panted prayer for mercy. He laughed in her face, bent and kissed her brutally, and stepped back laugh ing 10 admire his handiwork
 Thus he stood for an instant be- tween the horse and the edge of the declivity, a fair mark, stark against the sky, for one who stood in the val ley below, holding his rifle with eager fingers, waiting for just such oppor- tunity with the same impatience with which he had waited for it ever since the noise of debris kicked over the edge by the struggling man and woman had drawn his attention to what was going on above.
 Alan pressed the trigger and the shot sounded clear in the morning stiffness, Judith saw a look of az grieved amazement cross the face of Hopi Jim Slade.
 Then he threw his hands out. clawed bindly at the air, staggered, reeled against the horses flank so heavily that it shied in fright, and abruptly shot from sight over the edge of the bluff.

 "Oh, that's the way of it, is it?'

 Contented with the promise of a thousand dollars advance on his con- tract, providing he returned with horses within stipulated time, Mir. Hopi James Shade drfted quietly away into the desert night.

bit of string; and with one more backward glance to make sure she was not watched, approached the brink.
 Hopi Jim was meticulously shorten ing the fuse, Marrophat kneelng by his side.
 In the canyon below the three were within two minutes of the danger point
 It was no trick at all to drop the stone so that it fell within a dozen feet of the leading horseman.
 She saw him rein in suddenly, dis mount, cast look aloft, then dismount and pick up the warning.
 As the others joined him. he de- tached the card and showed it to them
 At the same time Hopi Jim and Mar rophat jumped up and ran back, each seizing and holding his horse by nose and bridle.
 Constrained to do likewise lest she lose her mount, Judith waited with a frightened heart
 The explosion smote dull echoes from the Hanks of the Painted hills, all drowsing in the monday hush: the boulder teetered reluctantly on the brink, then disappeared with a tear ing sound followed by a rush of earth and gravel; a wide gap appeared in the brink of the trail.
 Leaving Marrophat to hold the two frightened horses while the girl soothed her own, the bandit rushed to the edge, threw himself fiat and swore bitterly, with an accent of grievance, as he rose
 From the canyon below a dull noise of galloping hoofs advertised too plain ly the failure of their attempt.
 And Hopi Jim turned back only to find Judith mounted, refining her horse in between him and Marrophat, and prepared to give emphasis to what she had to say with an automatic pistol that nestled snugly in her palm.
 "One moment, Mr. Slade," she sug- gested evenly. Just a moment before you break the sad news to MT. Marro- phat. I've something to say that needs your attention-likewise, your respect. It is this; am parting company with you and Mir Marrophat 1 am riding on toward the west, by this trail. If either of you care to follow me'-the automatic flashed ominously in the -sun glare-"it will be with full knowl- edge of the consequences. MT. Marro- phat will enlighten you if you have any doubt of my ability to take care of myself in such affairs as this If you are well advised, you will turn back and report failure to my father'
 She nodded curtly and swung her horse round.
 And what shall I tell your father from you?" Marrophat demanded sharply.
 What you please, the girl replied, flashing an impish smile oyer-shoulder. But, since when I part company with you, part with him as well-for all of me, you may tell him to go to the deyil!"
 Well" Mr Marrophat admitted con fdentially to Mir Shade, I'm damned''
 And that ain't all," MT. Slade con- fided in Mir. Marrophat, whipping out his own revolver: You're being held up, too. I'll take those guns of your n, friend, and what else you've got about you that's of value, including your hoss and when you get back to old man Trine you can just tell him, with my best compliments, that I've quit the job and lit out after that daughter of hts'n. She's a heap sight more attrac- tive than nineteen thousand dollars, and not half so hard to earn!"

 Keep a civil tongue in your head my mani" Judith counseled, without any show of fear
 At the same time her fathers voice brought her to her senses.

 It was no facile task: Marrophat could not be trusted to work with a single mind because of his infatuation for Judith; Judith could no more be trusted faithfully to serve out her VOW to bring Alan Law to her fathers feet, alive or dead, because-O cruel irony of Fate!-she herself had fallen in love with that same man whose death she had pledged herself to compass. Only when, as now, half mad with jealousy, determined to see Alan dead rather than yield him to the woman he loved, her sister. might Judith be

LONG ISLAND ROADS.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN-Sir. Three
months ago, shortly after the killing OF
former Senator Bailey In an automobile
accident caused by bad roads, THE SUN
printed a letter from me directing atten-
ton TO the wretched condition OF many
of the highways OF Long Island and
saving that such accidents would be in
evitable unless these roads should be put
in proper shape.
This communication elected a prompt
response from some wordy and misin-
formed resident OF Patchogue who denied
that the roads were bad baSing his as
sertion, so IL appears from his printed
letter, upon hearsay simply. The fact was.
and IL, that the roads for miles easterly
and westerly from Patchogue were at the
time. and have been since, so In need OF
repairs as to be positively dangerous.
Al any further evidence OF these condi-
tons Is necessary. witness the dreadful

The perfect solution 81 the problem will
be the building and maintenance of a

people arc confidently looking to him for
