She laughed at him. Her face was

They sat round the opening before
Lenora's tent till the moon was high in
the heavens. Quest, who had been on
the outside of the circle for some little
time, suddenly rose to his feet and
crossed over to the cook wagon. Long
Jim, who was sitting on the steps,
glanced I'D a little Surlily.
"Who's inside there?" Quest asked,
Long Jim removed his pipe from his
teeth.

CHAPTER xxx.

The girl drew a low stool over to
Craig's side. He was sitting in a
rough chair tilted back against the
adobe wall of the saloon.
GAS tired as ever?" she asked, lay
ing her hand upon his for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at
her.

She made a little grimace.

tested. "Over the hills there are the
steam cars. They would take you to

dropping her voice, you need not go

He patted her hand affectionately,
about the action.

then there would be the awakening.
That is always the same. Sometimes
at night 1 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 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
up and be man? If you have done
wrong, then very likely people have
done wrong things to you. Why should
Why What are you looking at? Who
are these peop1e?"
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 it in
Craig's buttonhole. Then she led him
without word to a seat
eff these men try any tricks in

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 a bit Of parleyvous business,

paper. He handed 1T over to Craig.

Craig accepted the cable form and
read it through slowly to himself.

stunned. The girl leaned over towards

They walked outside to the camp,
where the cowboys were finishing

Both men glanced once more at
their watches. Then Quest thrust las
back with little oath.
Our watches have been set back!"
he exclaimed. "The Hands again!"
For a moment they looked at one
another, dumfounded. Then Quest
moved towards the corral.
"Say, is there any quicker way TO
the depot?" he inquired of the c0T,
boys.
They heard his question indiffer-
entity.
Fifty dollars" Quest continued, "to
anyone who can take me by a quicker
route"
One of them rose slowly to his feet.
'Waal," he observed, fifty dollars
would come in kind of handy. Yes,
I reckon can cut off a mile or two for
you"
Fifty dollars for you, then" Quest
replied, as they hurried towards the
horses, "and an extra ten if we make
the train.
They galloped off into the distance.
The cowboys finished their breakfast
and went off to their work. Laura
stole out from her tent and started or
in rather a shamefaced manner for q
walk. Presently Lenora opened her
eyes. She, too, stretched out her
hand for her watch. Suddenly she
sat up in bed with little exclamation.
On the table by her side was a small
black box. She took off the lid with
trembling fingers, drew out a scrap
of paper and read.
Fools! Tongues. Of flame will cross
Quests path. He will never reach the
depot alive.
Lenora glanced at Laura's 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 i'm
danger, the three men who have gone
off to the depot! If you'll ride after
them, will give you hundred dol
lars. Give them this" she added,
holding out the scrap of paper.
The Chinaman shook his head. He
glanced at the slip of paper indiffer-
emily and went on with his work.

Lenora looked around helplessly.
The camp was empty. She staggered
across towards her own horse.
"Come and help me-" she ordered.
The Chinaman came unwillingly.
They found her saddle, but he only
gazed at it in stolid sort Of fashion.
"No can fix" he said. "Missee NO
can ride. Better go back bed"
Lenora pushed him on one side.
With a great effort she managed to
reach her place in the saddle. Then
she turned and, with her face to the
depot, galloped away. The pain was
excruciating. She could only keep

Yet all the time that one sentence was
ringing in her head-"Tongues u

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

/ m The VICTOR comedy Tale Of the c.

When Paul Poiret, the great French
dress designer visited America, he
remarked that he believed the reason
SO many pretty American girls wore
glasses. was to conceal what their
beautiful eyes had to say. Perhaps
that is why Mary Carpenter in the
Victor comedy drama. "The Tale OF
the c." adopted them. 1t was very
lucky for her that Peter Cooper's last
name began with the same letter, or
she might be wearing them still.
Mary's one interest in life was as
tronomy, until she met Peter, and he
had to resort to learned disguise in
order to transfer her interest to him
self.

PAYS ACTORS
TO GET THEIR
EYES BLACKED
Novel Scheme is Adopted by
Director to Get "Pep"
into Picture.

Evidence OF the resourcefulness de-
manded OF motion picture producers
In the making Of their films has Just
come to light at Universal City when
jacques Jaccard, producer OF Uni
versal western features, employed q
new, novel and, it must be admitted,
successful method Of making players
get the spirit OF scene.
In the making OF Across the Rio
Grande," three reel Aim featuring
Harry Carey, Jaccard had occasion to
picture fight between Carey and
several Mexican outlaws. The scene
was rehearsed to Jaccard's huge dis
gust, Carey was willing to fight, but
the Mexicans who had been employed
for the scene somehow seemed to
lack the proper ardor,
Seemed Hopeless.
In vain did he rehearse It. They
did not like the idea Of coming in too
close proximity of Carey's healthy
looking fists. II seemed hopeless for
a time and then Jaccard had a brill
liant idea.
Calling the Mexicans to one side,
he addressed them somewhat as fol-
lows: "You don't seem to have enough
pep for two years ODDS. What / want
Is a fight. Now here's the PROPOSE
ton. Just to show you I'm apprecia-
tive I'll give a dollar to every man
that comes out Of that scene with q
black eye; fifty cents for each EVIL
dence of blood on the countenance of
any Of you and a sliding scale for
minor bruises. Are you on?"
No Picnic.
They were, and what Harry Carey
ran into when the scene was made
was no Sunday school picnic. That
he gave good account Of himself
goes without saying, but let no one
Imagine that he, had very much the
best of the "go."
In fact, when 1t was all over, It was
Jaccard himself who remarked as he
looked Carey over critically, well,
there's one thing I'm glad of and that
b that didn't offer you dollar for
every bruise you got. I'd have been
bankrupt for the next seven years.
However, it's a good scene, Harry, SO
what do we care?"
Carey looked as though he was not
20 sure about that last sentiment, but
he let 1t go at that.
