Both men glanced once more at
their watches. Then Quest thrust his
back with a 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 cow
boys.
They heard his question indiffer-
emily.
Fifty dollars Quest continued. "to
anyone who can take me by quicker

One of them rose slowly to his feet.
"Waal," he observed, fifty dollars

Fifty dollars for you, them" Quest
replied, as they hurried towards the
horses, and an extra ten II we make

They galloped of into the distance.
The cowboys finished their breakfast
and went 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 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.
FooIsl 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 in
danger, the three men who have gone
off to the depot! If you'll ride after

The Chinaman shook his head. He
glanced at the slip of paper indiffer-
emily and went on with his work.
"No can ride. missee." he said.
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 1t 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

He patted her hand affectionately,
but there was something little forced
about the action.

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 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 man? If you have done
wrong, then very likely people have
done wrong things to 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 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
nere,' she said. "there1l be trouble"
Almost at that moment they all
three entered. Long Jim nodded to
Craig in friendly fashion.
IT'S 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 it over to Craig.
Craig ne announced, "this is a
dispatch which 1 found in Allguez

you, but under the circumstances you
will scarcely wonder that l opened it.
You had better read it."
Craig accepted the cable form and
read 1t through slowly to himself:

A story is going the rounds In
washington about Secretary of the
Navy Daniels which may or may not
reflect credit on that official, accord

have smelled whisky on your breath,

To which the officer is said to have
replied: 81 beg your pardon, Mr.. Sec.
retary. 1t was whisky yesterday. but
1t is gin this morning"
No name has been allowed to leak
