Quest felt his forehead and found It
damp There were dark rims under
his eyes. Before him was Craig, with
little band around his forehead and
the mirror where they could all see 1t.
The professor stood a little In the
background. Laura and French we're
side by side, gazing with diBtended
eyes at the blank mirror, and Lenora
was doing her best to soothe the ter
rified girl. Twice Quests teeth came
together and once he almost reeled.

the tent

begged. 1--WE been listening to every

Laura and French"
They all three peered anxiously out
Of the opening Of the tent. Laura and
the inspector we're very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying large bunch Of wild
flowers, one Of which she was in the
act OF fastening in French's button

Quest declared. ''He sticks to 1t all
the time He'll win out with Laura
In the end, you mark my words"
We've wired for them to meet

lence. Il only hope they don't let him

Laura glanced Indignantly at him as
they strolled out, and Lenora laughed
softly.

When the inspector returned Quest

Quest did not wait for another word.
He jumped rough bush Of scrub on
the right-hand side, galIoped over the
ground, which was already hot with
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
from right to left like drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Le-

of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. "A twig fell from it as

The professor, who was comfort
ably seated in Quests favorite easy
chair, glanced at his watch and shook
his head.
Il am afraid, my friend" he said,
"that Craig's nerve has failed him. A
