Quest did not wait for another word.
He jumped rough bush of scrub on
the right-hand side. galloped 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 ard ran on. staggering
from right to left like drunken man.
About forty yards along the road, Le-
nora was lying in the dust. A volume
of smoke rushed over her. The tree
under which she had collapsed was
already afire. A twig fell from it as
Quest staggered up. and her skirt be-
gan to shoulder. He tore off his coat,
wrapped it around her, beat out the
fire which was already blazing at her
feet and snatched her into his arms.
She opened her eyes for moment.
Where are we?" she whispered
"The fire!"
"That's all right" Quest shouted.
"Well be out of it in a moment. Hold
tight to my neck"
Say, that was a. close shave" he
faltered, as he laid Lenora upon the
ground. Another five minutes-well,
we won't talk about it. Let's lift her
on to your horse, Laura, and get back
to the camp"

ST shall not the girl objected. MY
uncle told me, if anything happened
to him, that was to remain here"
"And remain here she shall, as long
as she likes" Mrs. Mallory insisted.
I've given my promise, too, to look
after her, and Mr.. Craig knows that
I am an honest woman"
"You may be that" the man re-
piled, "but it's just as well for you
both to understand this. I'm from the
police and what l say goes. No harm
will come to the girl, Mrs. Malony,
and she shall come back here, but for
the present she is going to accompany
me to headquarters. If you make any
trouble, only have to blow my whis-
tie and / can fill your house with po-
Iicemen."
''Tll CO." the girl whispered.
In silence she put on her hat and
coat, in silence she drove with him
TO the police station, where she was
shown at once into the inspectors Of
fee. The man who had brought her
whispered for a moment or two with
his chief and handed him the paper.
Inspector French read it and whfs-
tied softly. He took up the telephone
by his side.
Say, you've something Of find
here" he remarked to the plain
clothes man. "Put me through to Mr..
Quest, please" he added, speaking
into the receiver.
The two men whispered together.
The girl stole from her place and
turned over rapidly the pages of di-
rectory which was on the round table
before her. She found the "A's" quick
ly. Her eye fell upon the name of
Ashleigh. She repeated the address
to herself and glanced around. The
two men were still whispering. For
the moment she was forgotten. She
stole on tiptoe across the room, ran
down the stone steps and hastened
into the street.

CHAPTER xxxii.

The professor laid down his book
and gazed with an amiable smile to-
wards Quest and Lenora.

"that my little treatise on the fauna Of

who was otherwise none the worse for

the tent.
Don't you believe it, professor" he
begged. 1--WE been listening to every
word. But say, Lenora, Just look at
Laura and French!"
\ They all three peered anxiously out
Of the opening of the tent. Laura and
the inspector were very slowly ap-
preaching the cook wagon. Laura
was carrying a large bunch of wild
flowers, one of which she was in the
act Of fastening in Frenchs button
hole.
THAT fellow French has got grit"
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
Craig" Quest said, after a short ST.

They busted themselves for the next
hour or two, making preparations.
After their evening meal the two men
walked with Lenora and Laura to
their tent.

a long nights Sleep"
That's all very WE'LL" French re.
marked, "but it's only eight o'clock.

softly.

Poor Form of Patriotism.

Never was the constituencies. bri-
gand philosophy Of the pork barrel
statesman set forth more frankly than
by Representative Garner of Texas, in
a speech at the Atascosa fair. With
out a blush he admitted that federal
buildings were being erected in his
district at cost far in excess of &C
tual need. In his own town post
Office is being built for $4,000, when.
he said, a $4,000 building would be
wholly adequate. Nor was he criti-
cizing; he was Dragging. thus: Now
we Democrats are in charge of the
house, and I'll tell you right now when
ever one of those Yankees gets ham

NEGATIVE person, but it's easy to see
that he is far from being happy in
himself. You'll ring when you're

The door was suddenly opened and
Craig entered.

ing cigar, looking across here

obeyed. The girl was the first to
speak.

straight at these windows"
Craig groaned and sank down upon
chair.
Leave us, if you please, Mrs. Ma
lony," he ordered. I'll ring when Tm
ready"
The landlady left the room silently.
The girl came over to her uncle and
threw her arm around his neck.
He patted her head, felt in his pock-
cts and drew out a little paper bag,
from which he shook a bunch of yio-
lets,
How kind you are to mel" she ex-
claimed. "You think of everything!"
He sighed.
''If had had you for a little longer,
Mary" he said, perhaps l should have
been better man. Go to the window,

She crossed the room with light
footsteps. Presently she returned.

Repairing the mistakes of the past
will be the chief obligation of congress
at the session which begins in Decem-
Der. While the last congress enacted
the tariff bill, the banking and cur
rency bill and many other important
measures, the remedial legislation
which is on the cards for the next ses-
sion really is of the utmost impor-
tance, since it involves the safety as
well as the prosperity of the nation
and the more businesslike adjustment
Of legislation hastily enacted in the

In addition to putting the nation in

ness. Revenues must be increased to
meet the deficit in the treasury and to
take care of the ordinary expenses of
the government, and. in addition, a
bond issue must be arranged to take
care of increases in the army and
navy.
Taxation already has reached a
point where it is becoming menace.
Statesmen will be required to enforce
economy and to evolve the least bur
densonne way of financing the needs
of the government Congress also
must look forward to, the time when
the European war will emo and when
the European mills and factories will

to recoup their losses by invading the
American and South American mar
kets.
But the chief duty of congress will
be to repair the mistakes of hastily
considered legislation in the past. For
the welfare of all the people, the next
congress should try to look ahead and
plan carefully over number of years.
SO as to avoid the mistakes of prece-
ding sessions which 1t is now forced

chair, glanced at his watch and shook

The professor rose to his feet,
knocked the ash from his cigar, strug-

Then he waited until Quest had COM
