There they must fight it out face to

erous attack. He would give Pierre
an equal chance, but it must be a
fight to the death.
If Dufour had won the girl fairly
Jean would have acquiesced. But
Nanette and he had been engaged so
long, and Dufour had known it, and
he had stolen her. Jean could I'M
derstand what pressure he might
have used, when she had only dod-

His anger rose into fierce fame as
he pursued his way.
Night fell before more than half of
the 40 miles was accomplished. Jean
dismounted and scooped out shelter
in the deep snow beside the stream.
He was not sorry for the opportunity
to nurse his wrath. He crept inside,
turning his pony loose, for the
weather was warm enough for the
little, half-savage creature to take
care of itself, and Jean knew that it
would not stray far from him.
He wrapped himself in his furs and
lay down. But his mind would not
let him forget his grief and rage in
the temporary relief of sleep. He
had dreamed so long of the day when
Nanette was to be his wife, and now
his dream was ended and his life was
shattered.

The frightened animal regained it's

He caught the horses. Then he

John Haynes had fulfilled all the
purposes which had inspired him
when he made his escape from the
state penitentiary at Nokomis Falls.
By means of the powerful gyroscope
which he had invented, he hunted
down those enemies who had flung
him into prison upon a trumped-up
charge; he had discovered the wife
and daughter who had been torn from
him. and he had placed them in each
others arms. Then, since his wife,
believing him dead, had married
again, and because the stains Of blood
which he had shed in the accomplish
ment of his revenge lay on his SOUL
he did not dare reveal himself TO the
woman to whom he was still legally
bound, but made his way to a remote
corner of the United States and hid
there, under an assumed name.

His rest was not destined to be a

but he could not cross those boun-

him. At first he laughed at the fu-

stop him, when, at a rate of speed
incredibly swifter than that of the
fastest train, be could dash through
them on the roads?
Then. all at once, he understood the

gasoline to replenish his engine
Geared though the gyroscope was to

the motor needed fuel. And there
was no gasoline within this region;
no automobile came there; 1t was a

mountains and valleys In which few
