the coming fire. and followed along
down the road which Lenora had
passed. When he came to the first
bend. he could hear the roar of flames
In the trees. A volume of smoke al.
most blinded him; his horse became
wholly unmanageable. He slipped
from the saddle and ran on, staggering

nora was lying In the dust A volume
OF smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was

wrapped 1t around her, beat out the

"You may be that" the man re-

the tent.

begged. i've been listening to every
word. But say. Lenora, just look at
Laura and French!"
They all three peered anxiously out
OF the opening OF the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying large bunch Of wild
flowers. one Of which she was In the
