CHAPTER Nv.
The Masked Voice.

For matter of twelve hours the
fog, leaden, dank, viscous, as ineNor-
able as the dominion of evil, had
wrapped the world in an embrace as
foul and noxious as the coils of soMs
great, gray, Shiny serpent.
Through its sluggish folds the pom
derous, power-impelled lifeboat crept
at a snails pace, its stem parting and
rolling back from either flank heavy
hearted sea of gray.
In the bows a young woman rested
in state of semi-exhaustion, her eyes
closed, he head pillowed on a cork
belt hfe-preserver, her sodden gar-
ments modelled closely to the slender
body that was ever and again shaken
from head to feet with the strength
of long, shuddering respiration.
Seated on the nearest thwart, Alan
Law, chin in hand, watched over the
rest of this woman whom he loved
with a grimly hopeless solicitude. He
was in no happier case than she, so
far as physical comfort went-he was
in worse, since he might not rest.
Premonition of misfortune darkened
his heart with it's impenetra BILE
shadow.
In the stern Tom Barcus presided
morosely over the steering gear; and
Law was no more jealousy heedful Of
his sweetheart than Barcus of the
heavy-duty motor that chugged away
SO purposefully at its business of drip-
ing the boat Observation-Disclosures
Lacking at once a cumpass, all no
ton whatsoever of the suns bearings.
and any immediate hope Of the fog
lifting or chance bringing them either
to land or to rescue by some larger
and less comfcrtless craft, Barcus
steered mainly through force of habit
the saltwater mans instructive feel
ing that no boat under way should
ever in any conceivable circumstance
be without hand at the helm. 1t had
seemed impossible that it could long
escape repetition of the disaster, but
somehow, it always did escape, and
that by a wide margin; never once
had it passed near enough TO another
vessel to see it.
And now for more than an hour the
silence had been uncannily constant,
broken only by the rumble of the mo-
tor, the muted lisp of water slipping
down the side, the suck and gurgle of
the wake.
Forebodings no less portentous than
Laws crawled in the mind of Barcus.
It was as likely as not that the life
boat was travelling straight out to sea.
And gasoline tanks can and oftentmes
do become as empty as an official
weather prophets promise of fair
weather for a holiday.
More than this, Mr.. Barcus was a
confirmed skeptic in respect of ma
rine motors; on terms Of long and
intimate experience with the ways OF

He lifted his gaze
Two men were running along the
cliff-and the man in the lead was
Alan. But his lead was very scant
and the man who pursued was one OF
Judith's, and stuck to the trail like
bloodhound fresh from the leash.
And now the water was at his lipss
Barcus could no more speak without
strangling.
Of sudden he groaned in his hearts
though there was no passable way
down the cliff, still the sight of his
friend alive and unframed had brought
with it thrill of hope; now that hope
died as he saw Alan stumble and cd
to his knees.
Before he could rise the other was
upon him, with the fury Of wolf seek
ing the throat of stag.
For an instant they fought like mad
men; then, in a trice, the sky line
Of the cliff was empty; one or the
other had tripped and fallen over the
brink, and falling had retained hold
Of his enemy and carried him down "a
well.
By no chance, Barcus told himself

Yet, to his amazement, he saw one
man break from the others embrace
and rise. And he who lay still,
crumpled, inhuman heap upon the
sands, was Judith's man.
With violent effort Barcus lifted
his mouth above water and shrieked:

The leland.

The lSiand.
Not more than twenty seconds could
have elapsed before Barcus recovered
from the shock of the motors treach-
cry sufficiently to reverse the wheel,
throttle down the carburetor and jump
out of the engine-pit.
But in that small space of time the
lifeboat and Alan Law had parted COM
pany as definitely as though one Of
them had been levitated bodily to the
far side of the earth.
1t could not have been more than
minute after the accident before
Barcus was guiding the boat over
what, going on his sense Of location
and Judgment of distance, he could
have sworn was the precise spot
where Alan had disappeared, but with
out discovering a sign of him.

Pioneer of San Juan Dies.

Ellory w. Hunt, is dead at Silver
ton, having passed away yesterday
morning from typhoid fever. Mr.
Hunt was one of the San Juan's old
est citizens. He was associated with
Thomas M. Trip, civil and mining
engineer at Howardsville, Colo, as
far back as 1878. In the latter part
of the eighties he made Rico his
home, working at his profession. OF
late years Mr.. Hunt has made Silver
ton his home, being engaged in the
abstract business. Mr.. Hunt was a
very capable engineer and the word
Of honor followed all of his trans
actions. He was most companionable
and his friends were among all class
es. Ellory will be missed. Thus an
other of the San Juan's oldest pio-
meters has passed over the range to
the great beyond.
