Yet all the time that one sentence was
ringing in her Tongues of
flannel" She kept looking around anx-
iously. Suddenly the road dropped
from a little decline. She was con-
scious of wave of heat. In the dis
lance she could see the smoke rolling
across the open. She touched her
horse with the quirt. The spot which
she must pass to keep on the track to
the depot was scarcely a hundred
yards ahead, but already the fire
seemed to be running like quicksilver
across the ground, licking up the dry
greasewood 9itL indeed a flaming
tongue. She glanced once behind,
warned by the heat. The fire was
closing in upon he. A pun OF smoke
suddenly enveloped her. She coughed.
Her head began TO swim and fit OF
giddiness assailed her. She rocked
in her saddle and the pony came to
sudden standstill. faced by the mass of
rolling smoke and fame.

mel"
The pony reared. She slipped from
the saddle and fell across the track.

He patted her hand affectionately,
but there was something a little forced
about the action.
Child" he said. cit is SO hard to
make you understand. I might lose
myself for a 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 sleep. and when / sleep
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 your"
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
up and be a man7 II you have done
wrong. then very likely people have
done wrong things 10 you. Why should
you brood over these memories?
Why What are you looking at? Who
are these people?"
The professor, with Quest and Long
Jim, suddenly appeared round the cor
ner of the building. They walked
towards Craig. He shrank back in his
place.
IF these are your enemies" the girl
cried, fiercely, remember that they
cannot touch you here. I'll have the
boys out in a minute, if they dare to
try it."
Craig struggled to his feet. He made
no answer. His eyes were fixed upon
the professors. The girl passed her
arm through his and dragged him into
the saloon. They passed Jose in the
doorway. He scoffed at them.
"Say, the boss will fire you, Marta,
If you waste all your time with that
Yankee" he muttered
Marta drew the red rose from the
bosom of her dress and placed 1t in
Craig's buttonhole. Then she led him
without word to a seat.
IF these men try any tricks in
here" she said. "thereIl be trouble"
Almost at that moment they all
three entered. Long Jim nodded to
Craig in friendly fashion.
ITS all right, cookie" he told them.
Don't you look so scared. This is
just bit of parleyvous business,
that's all
The professor held out a piece of
paper. He handed 1t over to Craig.
Craig he announced, this is
dispatch which | found in Allguez
with my letters. It is addressed to
you. but under the circumstances you
will scarcely wonder that / opened it.
You had better read it,"
Craig accepted the cable form and
read it through slowly to himself:
To John Craig, Care Prof Lord Ash-
leigh, Yonkers, New York:
Your sister died today. Her daugh.
ter Mary sails on Tuesday TO join you
in New York. Please meet her.

Craig sat for moment as though
stunned. The girl leaned over towards
him.
Are they trying to take you on a
warrant" she whispered. Remember,

CHAPTER xxx.

The girl drew a low stool over to
Craigs side. He was sitting in a
rough chair tilted back against the
adobe wall of the saloon.
''As tired as ever?" she asked, lay
ing her hand upon his for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at
her.
Always tired" he answered, list
lessly.
She made a little grimace.
But you are so strange" she pro-
tested. "Over the hills there are the
steam cars. They would take you to

They galloped of into the distance.
The cowboys finished their breakfast
and weat off to their work Laura
stole out from her tent and started of
in rather a shamefaced manner for a
walk. Presently Lenora opened her
eyes. She, too. stretched out her
hand for her watch Suddenly she
sat up in bed with a little exclamation.
On the table by her side was a small
black box She took OF the lid with
trembling fingers, drew out a scrap
of paper and read
FooIsl Tongues Of flame will cross
Quests path. He will never reach the
depot alive.
Lenora glanced at Lauras empty
bed. Then she staggered to the open
ing OF the tent.
Laura" she cried
There was no one there The cow
boys had all gone to their work, Laura
had passed out OF sight across the
ridge in the distance. Lenora stag
gered to the cook wagon. where the
Chinese cook was sitting cleaning
plates.
"Listen!" she cried. They are in
danger. the three men who have gone
