 At times, in moments when the dead. ly thirst which parched his throat ai. lowed him to drink. he saw the one glimmering light, which marked the place where he knew Gallon had gone Miles and hours became Co him as nothing, yet finally through his sharp ened senses he smelled water. and as the sun was rising over San Jacinto mountains he fell face downward into a stream. Some instinct told him that towns were built on bills: that consc- quently to find the town he should go upstream So he struggled, stemming the current dragging his feet his left hand clnched into the folds Of his shirt over the wound In his heart was still smoldering the flame which In the fulness of his physical strength had been hatred of his partner.

 Wilkerson turned over as if once more going to sleep, but his eyes were open, and he saw Gallon marking down some notes on a piece of paper.

'"You arc under arrest.'

Tx | AR away on the same dimly ne desert another man was seek lSTsg7sst ing the same light Thomas GAMJ Gallon had realized that he was a murderer. What would happen to Ruth if he were convicted of killing his partner? This was the thought which drove him on-onward toward the little speck across the mesa. Care less Of the cactus. of the sagebrush. ab- sOlutely unmindfuI of the little gull lies made by last years rains. he tramped steadily onward. and as he did SO there was formulated in his mind a plan not only to save the gold for his daughter. but to save her fathers honor
 It is true of lights and Ideals that the farther you follow them the fainter they grow, and it was with astonish. ment that Thomas Gallon suddenly found himself in the street of Yalle Vista.
 There is a lot of silent influence in the mere sight of closed doors. Gallon looked down the street and every door was closed except one. No hospitality. One single sign showed that law and order, always vigilant, held their sway. He staggered on toward the green light which marked the sheriff's office. In there he found an alert deputy.
 "Who are you|
 'I am Gallon" he said firmly. "The outlaws have got my partner and near ly got mer'
 The deputy looked at him shrewdly a moment and seemed satisfied. An in- staut later he was on his feet, buckllng on his belt and revolver, and in a sec. ond instant he had brushed his way past the old miner and was bawling out into what apparently was a vacant street Gallon dimly heard his call His one thought was to play his part to the end Would these men find by accident his gold? A moment later curtain on the saloon across the street was lowered and the door opened.
 Whats the matterY yelled a half drunken fellow, reelng out
 "Matias is out againw cried the dep uty- "Get the sberif They have got this fellows partner" Then he turned to Gallon authoritatively and said, How much did you haveT
 Nothing" said Gallon. We did not strike anything, but they thought we had"
 But with quick gesture the deputy grasped Gallons wrist and opened his hand disclosing a nugget Where did you get this" he asked.

 "If that's an you had Matias did not get much, and he is considered pret ty smart fellow" was the curt re. sponse. "Here comes the sheriff."

 yet left him breathless. What was the matter2 Then he saw huge columns of smoke pouring out from the after part of the ship. It was not the in- exorable and averaging sea, but fire. He saw the boats go over the side. He saw two men struggling in the tops yet it was dream. His consciousness held but two factB-one the chest that contained the secret of his mine. the other the key that had locked within that strange and alien depository the picture of a little girl.
 Six hours later heavy sea drove a piece of wreckage up the crumbling beach beneath a cun on the Oregon shore. On it was a man-brine drench- ed, almost unconscious, but still able to crawl beyond the reach of the fn- gering breakers. clutching a key. IL was Thomas Gallon.
 He sat down and stared at the burn ing ship be had left Dimly he remem. bered those strange numbers that marked the position of that vessel flaming to destruction far out on the horizon.

 But how to remember them2 How to keep this precious information in his head His groping fingers found the key A moment later he was scratching the numbers on it's soft sur face
 This" he said through his salt parched lips, "ls the master key" He stared up at the blue sky. and then bowed bis head in utter weakness.
 
 "If Wilkerson is alive he knows. Every day is the same. When can I find the secret of The Master EeyY"
 Thomas Gallon then picked up his letter file and duly looked over its contents
 Funny" he thought to himself. "that that engineer thut l wrote to Drake about has not turned up." He fumbled the letter uncertainty, but the name caught his eye-John Dorr
 At that very moment the motor stage chugged slowly into camp, and a tall, heavily built man swung down into the street, suit case in hand He look ed about him with a trained eye He saw the opening Of a mine upon the hill-the trestle crawling toward the dump. the pump house-all the para pheualia Of au active mine, but he also perceived that the stamp mill was silent
 "In bet they've lost the lodeg he thought Co himself He turned to a miner who was passing and asked. Where Is Mir GalonY

 John D0rr straightened himself up and went quietly up the acclivity. until he finally arrived before a typical Call fornia house.

 'Tm John Dorr," he said aWkwardly. ''I came to see Mir. Gallon l am the new mining engineer"
 Ruth looked at him critically. He was nothing like the men she was used to. His clothes were good. He fairly breathed soap and water. and his very apparent strength glOwed be- heath a clear, smooth skin and well limbs. Then she met his eyes in frank admiration.

The Gray Wolf.

AS II CHANGED, Jasper Grierson was
In the act Of concluding long and ap.
parently satisfactory telephone conver-
sation with his agent in Duluth at the
moment when the door of his private
room opened and his daughter en-.
tered.
He hung the receiver on its hook
and was pushing the bracketed tele
phone set aside when Margery crossed
the room swiftly and placed an en-.
velope, the counterpart of the one left
with Raymer, on the desk.
There is your notice to quit" she
said calmly. you threw me down
and gave me the double-cross the other
day, and now I've come back at you"
Another man might have hastened
to meet the crisis. But the gray wolf
was Of a different mettle He let the
envelope lie untouched until after he
had pulled out drawer In the desk,
found his box of cigars, and had lei
surely selected and lighted one Of the
fat black monstrosities. When he tore
the envelope across, the Photographic
print fell out, and he studied 1t care.
fully for many seconds before he read
the accompanying documents. For lit
tie time after he had tossed the pa
pers aside there was silence that
bit. Then he said, slowly:
so that's your raise, is IL? Where
does the game stand, right now7"
you stand to lose"
Again the biting silence; and then:
You don't think I'm fool enough to
give you back your ammunition SO
that you can use 1t on me, do you?"
