Quest awoke the next morning,
stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. 1t
was barely six O'Clock. He turned over
and dozed again, looked again at half
past six, and finally, at few minutes
to seven, rose and made a hasty
toilet. Then, In the act of placing his
watch in his waistcoat pocket, he gave
a sudden start. By it's side, half GOV.
cred by the handkerchief which he had
thrown upon the little table. stood a
small black box! For moment he
was motionless. Then he stretched out
his hand, removed the lid and drew
out the usual neatly folded piece of
paper:
Even time fights you. 1t loses that
you may Iose.-The Hands.
Quest for a moment was puzzled.
Then he hurried into the next tent,
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully.
Say, professor, what's the. time by

CHAPTER xxx.

The girl drew low stool over to
Craig's side. He was sitting in a
rough chair tilted back against the
adobe wall Of the saloon.
LAS tired as ever?" she asked, lay
ing her hand upon his for moment.
He turned his head and looked at
her.
Always tired he answered, list
lessly.
She made little grimace.
But you are so strange" she pro-
tested. "Over the hills there are the
steam cars. They would take you to
some of our beautiful cities, where all
is light and gayety. You are safe
here, whatever your troubles may have
been. You say that you have money,
and if you are lonely" she added,
dropping her voice, you need not go
alone"
He patted her hand affectionately,
but there was something a little forced
about the action.
Child" he said, at is so hard to
make you understand. l might lose
myself for few minutes, it is true,
over yonder. Perhaps, even," he add
ed, you might help me to forget. And
then there would be the awakening.
That is always the same. Sometimes
at night l sleep, and when l sleep l
rest, and when my eyes are opened in
the morning the weight comes back
and sits upon my heart, and the
strength seems to pass from my
limbs and the will from my BRAIN"
Her eyes were soft and her voice
shook a little as she leaned towards
him. Something in his helplessness
had kindled the protective spirit in
her.
Has life been so terrible for you?
she whispered Have you left be-
hind-but no! you never could have
been really wicked. You are not very
old, are you? Why do you not stand

erals faced them all With sudden
courage
AS l came in" he explained,
that man had his knife raised to stab
the girl. You don't allow that sort
OF thing, do you, here?"
The two cowboys linked their arms
through Jose's and led him off toward
the door.
The strangers right, Jose" one of
them insisted. You can't carve girl
up in company"
The girl clutched at Craig's arm.
Sit down here, please" she begged
Wait"
She disappeared for a moment and
came back with a glass full of wine,
which she set down on the table
Drink this" she invited. And
thank you for saving me-"
Craig emptied the glass eagerly.
Il just happened to be the first to
see him." he said. They aren't quite
wild enough to allow that here, are
they?"
"Quien sabe? The girls do not like
me! The men do not care" she de-
clared. Jose took me by surprise,
though, or l would have killed him.
But who are you. and where did you
come from?"
Il have just crossed the border" he
replied
She nodded understandingly
Were thew after VOu?'
Yes! with a warrant for my ar
rest!"
She patted his hand
you are safe now" she whispered.
Back in the camp, spirit of deyilry
had entered into Long Jim and his
mates. A tactless remark on the part
of one of the deputies had set alight
the smoldering fire of resentment
which the cowboys had all the time
felt against them. At a word from
Long Jim they were taken by surprise
and tied to the wagon.
The deputies spluttered with rage
and fear. Shot rained about them and
the canvas of the wagon was riddled
Suddenly they all paused to listen
The sound of horses slow football
was heard close at hand. Presently
Quest appeared out of the shadows,
carrying Lenora in his arms. Laura
rushed forward.
"Lenora!" she cried. "Is she hurt?''
Quest laid her tenderly upon the
ground.
I'VE had spill at the bridge" he
explained, quickly. Il don't know
whether Craig loosened the supports.
He got over all right, but it went down
under Lenora, who was following, and
had to get her out of the river
Where's the professor?"
The professor came ambling from
the tent where he had been lying. He
stopped at once over Lenora's still un
conscious form.
Dear mel" he exclaimed. Dear
me! Come, GOMEZ"
He passed his hand over her side
and made brief examination.
Four ribs broken" he pronounced
1T will be week, at any rate, before
we are able to move her. Nothing
more serious, so far as can see, Mr..
Quest, but she'll need rest and all the
comfort we can give her"
Say, that's too bad" Long Jim de.
clared. If you've got to stay around
for a time. though, you can have the
tents. We boys can double up any
where, or bunk on the ground That's
right, amt it," he added, turning
around to the cowboys.

ITALIAN INTERVENTION
NOT imminent At once
Season. Stability of War Situation. and
Approaching Reopening of Cham
Der Make Action Unlikely.

Rome. Feb. 9-The military operations
Of Italy now are terminated but her in
tervention in the struggle except in an
unforeseen contingency. is not immi-
nent. for several reasons:
First, because OF the season
Next. because it does not appear the
general war situation will undergo any
very rapid change.
Last. because Of the approaching re-
opening of the chamber"
Intervention at this junCture, while not
appearing justified sufficiently by OBJ
jective reasons. might be interpreted as
parliamentary device TO evade the deci-
sion Of the House on certain acts OF the
ministry not strictly in harmony with the
attitude Of Italy. considered from the
standpoint Of the different groups Of bel
.ligerents.
\ ministerial crisis does not seem
probable, but can not be left wholly out
of account. The government has in sew
eral ways shown indecision and has
given cause for criticism in its economic
measures, especially in the matter OF
provision of grain and coal. This will
form a subject OF serious discussion IN
the chamber and may even lead to a
party vote.
This is true reading OF the present
situation in Italy.

THOUSANDS WOULD DIE

Thousands OF citizens undoubtedly
would be lynched. burned at the stake

meeting of colOred people last night in

Rev. Mr.. Drew further cited that the
bill had for its object the separation
of the cOlOred from the white people
but held this would be an impossi-
bility. because of the variety of colors
among the COlOrcd people.
Some are brown, some black. and
some white colored people. and nobody

This resolution was offered by Mr.
Drew:
Resolved. that VIC. American citizens
the colOred population of the District,
assembled in a mass meeting believe IL
is the consensus of opinion that We should
put ourselves on record, and oppose the
said bill introduced by Representative
Clark. of Florida. as one of the most
dangerous. unwarranted. and un-Christ-
ian-likc legislations ever introduced in
the Hall of Congress.
That we call upon every Repre-
sentative in Congress to vote against
the inactment of such law. Also we
petition every minister or leader of
the people of color. to write or call
upon their Representatives in Con-
gress, TO do all in his power, to pre-
vent the bill from becoming a law,
which has for its object, to discrim-
mate between races on account of
color Such a law would be the vio-
lation of the fifteenth amendment of
the Constitution of the United States.
and would eventually result in mob
law, race riots. lynChng, numbering
and burning at stake. This would
not only be a humiliation to people
of color. but would be a disgrace.
and cause America TO hang her head
in shame and be scorned by other
nations.
Resolve further, That we solicit
the interest of our daily and weekly
papers, and ask them for a fair play,
which is a matter that concerns all
good citizens"
