Apart from the amusements, conven-

the magnificent state buildings, the Elk

seeing. The giant exhibit palaces, the

 Where's Laura" he asked, "and the inspector?" She smiled and pointed to the ris- ing ground behind them. In the faint moonlight two forms were just visi- bie.
 Quest smiled.

 She laughed at him. Her face was little drawn with pain, but her eyes were very soft.

 He held her hand for a moment.

CHAPTER xxx.

Quest awoke the next morning, stretched out his hand and glanced at the watch by the side of the bed. It was barely six o'clock. He turned over and dozed again, looked again at half past six. and finally, at a few minutes to seven, rose and made a nasty toilet. Then, in the act of placing his a sudden start. By its side, half cov- cred by the handkerchief which he had thrown upon the little table, stood a small black box! For a moment he was motionless. Then he stretched out his hand, removed the lid and drew out the usual neatly folded piece of paper:
 Even time fights you. 1t loses that you may lose.-The Hands.
 Quest for a moment was puzzled. Then he hurried into the next tent, where the professor was sleeping peacefully.
 Say. professor. what's the time by your watch?" Quest asked. shaking him gently.
 The professor sat up and drew his chronometer from under his pillow.
 Seven o'clock" he replied; five minutes past, maybe"
 Quest nodded.
 That seems all right" he declared. "I'll explain later. professor"
 He hurried out into French's tent and found the inspector just drawing on his shoes.

 Three minutes past seven, or whereabouts" French replied. yawn- ing. I'm coming right along. We've got lots of time. Three-ouarters of

The girl drew low stool over to Craig's side. He was sitting in a rough chair tilted back against the adobe wall of the saloon.
 As tired as ever?" she asked, lay ing her hand upon his for moment.
 He turned his head and looked at her.
 Always tired" he answered. list lessly.
 She made little grimace.

an hour ought to do it, the boys s~y.A They walked outside to the camp, where the cowboys were finishing their breakfast
 Say, boss" one of them called out, you're not making that 8:30 train to New York?'
 Why not?" Quest asked. quickly. Its only three-quarters of an hours ride, is it?"
 Maybe not" the other replied. but as it's eight now, your chances ain't looking lively. Kind of overslept, haven't you?"
 Both men glanced once more at their watches Then Quest thrust his back with 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- ently.
 Fifty dollars" Quest continued, "to anyone who can take me by quicker route"
 One of them rose slowly to his feet.
 "Waal," he observed, fifty dollars would come in kind of handy. Yes. reckon l can cut off mile or two for you"
 Fifty dollars for you, then,' Quest replied, as they hurried towards the horses, and an extra ten if we make the train.
 They galloped off 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 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 scrap of paper and read. Fools! Tongues of flame will cross Guests path. He will never reach tho depot alive.
 Lenora glanced at Lauras empty bed. Then she staggered to the open ing of the tent. "Laurai" she cried. There was no one there. The cow boys had all gone to their work Laura had passed out of sight across the ] .N& gered to the cook wagon, where the | Chinese cook was sitting cleaning plates.
 "Listeni" she cried. They are in danger the three men who have gone off to the depot! If you'll ride after them, ! will give you hundred dol lars. Give them this" she added, holding out the scrap of paper.
 The Chinaman shook his head. He glanced at the slip of paper indiffer- ently and went on with his work.
 No can ride. missee" he said.
 Lenora looked around helplessl!. 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 it 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.
 Child" he said it is so hard to make you understand. I might lose myself for a few minutes, it is true, over wonder. Perhaps, even," he add ed, you might help me to forget And then there would be the awakening. That is always the same. Sometimes at night I sleep, and when I sleep I rest, and when my eyes are opened in the morning the weight comes back and sits upon my heart, and the strength seems to pass from my limbs and the will from my brain." Her eyes were soft and her voice shook a 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 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.
 "1f 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, "there'l be trouble" Almost at that moment they all three entered. Long Jim nodded to Craig Tn friendly fashion
 It's all right. cookie" he told them. Don't you look so scared. This is just q pit of parleyvous business, that's all ''
 The professor held out a piece or paper. He handed It over to Craig. Craig, he announced. this is dispatch which 1 found in Allguez with my letters It is addressed to you, but under the circumstances you will scarcely wonder that opened it. You had better read it. Craig accepted the cable form and read it through slowly to himself. To John Craig, Care Prof Lord Ash leigh, Yonkers, New York: Your sister died today.

Suddenly the road dropped from a little decline. She was con- scious of wave of heat. In the dis. tance she could see the smoke rolling across the open. She touched her horse with the Quirt. The spot which she must pass to keep on the track to the depot was scarcely hundred yards ahead, but already the fire seemed to be running like quicksilver across the ground, licking up the dry greasewood with indeed . flaming tongue.
