BE kind to her, Alan" she said in
an uncertain voice: "She didn't under
stand and-and l goaded her beyond
endurance, I'm afraid. Forgive me-
but be kind to her alwsys!"
Somehow, blindly. she stumbled out
of the cabin into the open, possessed
by thought whose temptation was
stronger than her powers Of resist
ance. What Rose had failed to &C
complish might now serve to resolve
Judith's problem. . . None, she told
herself, bitterly, would seek to hinder
her But she meant so to arrange the
matter that none should see or sus.
pect and be moved to interfere.
Round the shoulder of the noun
tain, on the road along the edge of the
cliff, she was sure of freedom from
observation.
And yet, such is the inconsistency
of the human animal, the instinct for
self-preservation was stronger than
her purpose: when a touring car swung
round the mountain and shot toward
her, she checked herself hastily and
jumped aside in ample time to escape
being run down.
The next instant the machine was
lurching to a halt and the sonorous
accents of Seneca Urine were saluting
her:
Judith! You here! What the devil!
Where'ye ye been? Where are Mario
phat and Jimmy?"
Digging the nails of her fingers pain
fully into her palms, she breathed
deep, fighting down hysteria, reassert-
ing her self-control in so short a space
of time that her father failed to APP
preciate that there was anything I'M
common in the mind of the girl.
"Where?" he demanded angrily as
she approached the car, where,
want to know, are Marrophat and jim
my? Haven't you seen or heard any
thing of them? They left me at six
o'clock this morning, to go after"
Dead" the girl interrupted, SEN
tentious, cycling him strangely.
Il don't believe it," the old man
screamed, aghast. Il won't believe it.
You're lying to me, you Jade! You're
lying"
Il am not" she broke in coldly. Il
am telling you the plain truth :.

about noon-came up this road shoot
ing over the windshield. 1t was our
lives or theirs. We turned the hydrau-
lie stream on them and washed the car
over the cliff. II you don't believe
me, get somebody to show you their
| faces"
She indicated with a gesture two
forms that lay at a little distance
back from the roadside, motionless
beneath a sheet of canvas-the bodies
of Trine's creatures, recovered by the
mining gang and brought up for a
Christian burial
The last bitter drop that brimmed
his cup of misery was added when
Alan Law himself appeared, leaving
the miners cabin in company with
his betrothed-Rose now soothed and
comforted, smiling through the traces
Of her recent tears as she chung to
her lover, nesting in the hollow of
his arm. ..-
To Alan, on the other hand, this
rencontre seemed to afford nothing
but the pleasantest surprise imagln-
able.
Well" he cried, releasing Rose
and running down to the car Here's
luck! And at the very moment when
was calling my lucky star hard
names! How can / ever reward your
thoughtfulness, Mr.. Urine? 1t beats
me how you do keep track of me this
way-happening along like this every
time l need car the worst way in
the world"
Drive on" Urine screamed to the
chauffeur. Drive on, do you hear?"
But Judith had stepped up on the
running board and was cycling the
driver coldly, with one hand signifi-
cantly resting on the butt of the
weapon at her side. The car remained
at a standstill.
Sulphurous profanity followed,
pungent stream of vituperation that
was checked only by Judlth's inter
ruption: We've had to gag you once
before, you know. If you want another
taste of that-keep on!"
But where's Barcus?". Judith de-
manded when, after helping Rose into
the car and running off to thank their
hosts. Alan returned alone to the car.
Goodness only knows" the young
man answered cheerfully. He would
insist on rambling off down the can
yon in search of an alleged town
where we could hire motor car
somewhere down there. l tried to
make him understand that we had
plenty Of time, but he was mulish as
he generallpis when he gets a foolish
notion into his head. So l daresay
we'll meet him on his way back-or
else asleep somewhere by the road
side!"

CHAPTER LII.
The Last Trump.


Toward the evening Of the third
day following the motor spill, Judith
sat in the deeply recessed window OF
bedchamber on the second floor OF
hotel situated in the heart of Cali.
fornias orange-growing lands.
Behind her Seneca Urine sat, ap-
parently asleep, in a wheeled invalid
chair.
There was no occupant of the room.
Though he had lain nearly two
days in coma, her fathers subsequent
progress toward recovery of his nor
NAL state had been rapid. Now, ac-
cording to council of surgeons and
physicians who had been summoned
to deliberate on his case, he was In
fair way to round out the average
span Of sound mans lifetime. He
had apparently suffered nothing in
consequence of his accident more
serious than prolonged unconscious
ness For the last twenty-four hours
he had been in full possession of his
faculties and (for some reason impos-
sible to Judith to fathom) uncom-
monty cheerful.
From this circumstance she drew
a certain sense of mystified anxiety.
Twice In the course of the morning
she had caught his eye following her
with a CLEAN of sardonic exultancy,
as though he nursed some secret of
extraordinary potentiallties.
And yet (she argued) it was quite
impossible that he should have some
fresh scheme brewing for the assassin
alton of Alan. Not soul had had any
sort Of communication with him since
his recovery but the attending sur
geon, man Of unimpeachable char
acter, a meekmannered trained nurse,
and herself, Judith. Under such cir
cumstances he simply could not have
set new conspiracy afoot.
And yet -. She was oppressed
by great uneasiness.
Perhaps (she reasoned) the wealth
er was responsible for this feeling, in
some measure at least. The day had
been Internationally hot. day with
out a breath of air. Now, as 1t drew
toward It's close, It's heat seemed to be-
como more and more oppressive even
as its light was darkened by por-
tentous phenomenon-a vast pail OF
