To find them not only alive but

loyal soul almost to tears.

awkward pause. The eyes of the four

was adopted-though this was it's re-

in the proposition.

Their banter was not without a

In the course Of the last "a hours
Roses jealousy Of her sisters new
found friendliness with Alan had
become acutely evident. The least
courtesy which circumstances now
and again demanded that he show
Judith or seem boor, was enough
to cloud the countenance Of Alan's
betrothed.
Nor, indeed, was Rose altogether
destitute of plausible excuse for this
feeling. 1t was undeniable that be-
tween Alan and Judith bond Of SYM
pathy had grown out Of the trials and
hardships they had Of late suffered
in common. 1t was undeniable-but
even in his most private thoughts
Alan denied it fercely. Judith, on
the other hand, not only acknowledged
it freely to herself, but secretly de-
rived a strangely sweet and poignant
pleasure from the knowledge that she
loved so madly and hopelessly.
That her love was hopeless she
knew but too we'll. Even though Alan
might not be altogether Indifferent to
her, after all that had passed between
them, his loyalty to Rose was un-
shakable. And not for worlds would
Roses rival have had it otherwise.
She could not have loved him as she
did had he not been so unmovably
true. AS 1t was, since she could not
hope her love might be returned, she
was content to love and to promise
herself that, if opportunity ever Of
tered, she would not prove unready to
sacrifice herself for her love.
And at times she caught herself
praying that such opportunity would

But Tom Barcus hadn't failed to
profit by the warning implicit in Alan's
accident.
Alan. he told himself shrewdly,
would never have run his cycle at so
Yoolhardy pace without good rea-
son; and under the circumstances good
reason was synonymous solely with
pursuit.
He was therefore on the alert, quick
to see the racing automobile when it
came hurting round the bend, and in
the very nick of time grasped Judith's
arm and swung her bodily with him
back out Of harms way, amid the
trees that bordered the inside of the
road.
OF necessity his motorcycle suffered.
Abandoned in the middle Of the road,
it was struck by the buffers Of the
motor car and flung aside as If it had
been nothing more ponderable than a
truss Of straw-landing halfway down
the embankment, a hopeless tangle OF
shattered tubing and twisted wire.
Al first blush the circumstance
seemed surprising, that the car did
not stop. But then Barcus reminded
himself that Marrophat and Jimmy
could not possibly have witnessed the
accident involving Alan and Rose, who,
together with the wreck Of their ma
chine, remained well-cloaked by the
underbrush at the bottom of the can
yon. In all probability, then, the as.
sassins had assumed that Alan had
hurried on; and since their own first
business was concerned exclusively,
with them, they had done likewise,
reasoning that they could return and
deal with his unfortunate friend at
their convenience after overnauling
their quarry, whose life they most
coveted.
AS for Rose and Alan-heaven alone
knew what had happened to them. So
Rarcus set himself to find out what
ever Providence knew without more

least warning came upon Barcus and
Judith, dismounted, Barcus bending
over his cycle and tinkering with its
motor.
For one horripilating instant COLI
sion seemed unavoidable. Barcus and
Judith and the motorcycle occupied
most Of the width Of the road; there
was little room between them and the
declivity, less between them and the
forest. To try to pass them on the
latter side would be only to dash his
brains out against the trees; while to
make the attempt on the outside would
be to risk leaving the road altogether
and dashing off into space
And it was impossible to stop the
cycle-so brief was all his warning.
In desperation Alan chose the outside
OF the road; and for the space of a
single heartbeat thought that he might
possibly make it, but with the next
realized that he would not-seeing the
Iront Wneei swing on over the lip or
the slope.
At this he acted sharply and upon
sheer instinct. AS the cycle left the
road altogether he risked a broken
knee by releasing his grasp of the
handlebars and Strengthening out his
leg and driving it down forcibly
against the roadbed. The effect of this
was to lift him bodily from the sad
die: the machine shot from beneath
him like some strange projectile
hurled from the bore of great gun;
and Rose crashed against him in the
same fraction of a second.
Headlong they plunged as one down
the hillside, struck it's shelving sur
face good twenty feet from the brink

What passed between the trio after
they. disappeared behind that bed

means guess. But that celebration
Of some sort was in progress was evi-
denced by the frequency with which
Marrophat and Jimmy called on the
bar for more liquid refreshment.
And toward midnight one belated
Mesquite paused in the street outside
the Mountain house for one last curl
Gus stare at the lighted windows Of
Mr.. Trine's quarters.
He saw, clearly silhouetted against
the glowing oblong Of the window, the
Mephistophelean profile Of Seneca
Trine, distorted with a grimace of the
cruelest Joy that ever heart of man
conceived. He saw Marrophat ap-
groach his master with a drunken
swagger and a speech which, though
fndistinguishable to the. unseen au-
ditor, unquestionably afforded both Of
the other men ample excuse for &C.

Mr. Marrophat apparently capped the
peak OF jubilation by fumbling in his
coat pocket and bringing forth some
thing which strongly resembled sin

Now when he had contrived to
master his nirth, the cripple made a
gesture which eloQuently abolished
this card. a gesture which said quite
plainly: ""All that is finished. The
thing has served its purpose! To
hell with it,"
Whereupon, with smart jerk Of his
wrist, Mr. Marrophat sent the card
spinning and sailing out through the
open window to lose Itself in the night.

of the road, and flying apart tumbled
their separate ways down the re-
mainder of the drop and into the
friendly shelter of the underbrush.
Something nearly miraculous saved
them whole. Beyond few scratches
and bruises and a severe shaking up,
they escaped unharmed. And they
were picking themselves up and re-
gaining their breath and re-collecting
their scattered wits when, with I'M
petus no less terrific than their own
