lhis:" and he jumps from the seat and. under an electric light in wide part of the tunnel where the motor has halted, he proceeds to examine it, with the air of one who desires to impress all benolders with his deep knowledge of electrical mechanics. There was light enough at this point to make any slight repairs, providing poor Cuabba was competent to do so. But an intimate knowledge of the mecha nism of street pianos is hardly of avail in repairing balky electric motors.
 Do be careful" cautions Esther. "If anything should happen to you I would never forgive myself! I have heard of men being killed tampering with electric wires. And look." And Esther pointed to sign at the side where new heading from the main tunnel was evidently being driven. For there. plain in the light from the over head incandescent bulb, a dingy yet plain sign of warning that read Danger! Blast ready!" Near it a small black box from which a plunger protruded and to which coils of insulated wire were attached.
 Even to Esther's inexperienced eyes the purpose of the grim looking little box and the coils was apparent. It was mechanism to set off a blast, and the blast. the sign warned ready.
 Qua5ba realized the fact well Esther and redoubled his efforts to locate the cause of the trouble in the motor and to get out of the danger zone The young girl and the poor hunchback, fleeing from the danger of human enemies. in danger of ann!hilating death in the de- serted mine tunnel at this point. But such a death Esther did not dread she dreaded the worst fate that might come to her if she fell again into the hands of Blair Stan ley.
 For Luke Lowell, brutal as he was, Esther had not the fear she had of Blair. Her old association and authority Luke as the daughter, as she was supposed to be, of Hagar, the queen who ruled the Romany people with strong decision, Esther knew would make the gypsy hesitate in any evil intent he might have toward her. Esther knew, too, that Luke, for all his brutishness. had ever been at

 While Quabba fused and perspired in his inexperienced efforts to rene ly CT find cause of the baking rf the motor Esther sat list ening with str thing to the weird and eerie subterranean sounds of the ceaseles5 dripping of the water from the mine roof and the occasional rattle and fall of loos- ened earth and rocks in the dark depths of the tunnel.

srunts and straning efforts, from the dan gerous spot near the set blast and it's warning sign.
 Pushing and panting. he showed the heavy little machine over the water covered tracks a hundred yards more down the tun- mel. Then he rushed back under the cleo tric light by the set blast and seizing the blast battery by it's leather handle and uncoiling the loops of wire, the other ends of which were fastened deep down in the blast holes to the detonator in the dyna- mite, Quabba slipped back through the darkness and called to Esther in a tense whisper to come around behi r. the shield ing bulk of the motor with him. From the blast battery box he carried traled the length of wire that would carry the vital spark of the forces of destruction.
 Now Blair Stanley and Luke Lowell had located them by the single light upon the electric niotar They pressed forward with exultant shouts; then, just as they reached the wide space where the blast was set at the new heading, Quabba, a hundred yards away and shielded with Esther behind the motor. drove the plunger of the battery down swift and hard.
 There deafening boom ana crash. a burst of fire, the sound of showering rocks, a heavy fall of earth and debris that seemed to heave out and groan and rattle and settle-then a choking fog of blast smoke and silence:
 Whatever had been the matter with the motor, the shock and jar of the explosion had settled the 1oosened wire back in place to a proper contact, for when, shaking with fright and excitement, Quabba had dragged Esther aboard the motor again and turned the lever the little machine moved forward like a living thing, slowly at first and then. gaining speed, glided smoothly and swiftly out of the smoke and and on swifter faster until the hunchback and the trem- bling girl a of freS air outside blow upon them and saw a glean1 of daylight and sped and out from the dank mouth of the mine into Gods good sunlight,

Then there came through the darkness iron. far off behind them the sound of foot falls through the water that covered the tunnel floor. Like moving stars in the distant darkness she saw the lights of the candies borne by the relentless pursuing Luke and Blair. She knew it must be them. for the mine and all its workings had been as deserted as a place of the dead.
 They coming, Quabba!" she cried ' What shall we do?"
 The hunchback's usual kindly face took or a set expression of murderous deter imitation strange to Esther's eyes.
 This time I kill them!" he exclaimed. " Wait; you see"
 Leaving his task of searching for the trouble in the mechanism of the motor. Cuabba slipped around to the back of it and pushed the little machine, with many

motor and drove back resolutely into the mine depths to find the men whom Esther ana Quabba told of, dead alive.
 They returned at nghtfall having cleared away the debris of the blast, but finding no trace of Luke Lowell and Blair Stanley. The wicked have luck alike with the good. At the edge of the blast Blair Stanley had been struck down and hurt slightly, and Luke had borne him back through the choking smoke all the weary way whence they had come, until they, too reached daylight and safety, as Esther and Quabba had reached it. but on the far side of the mountain mine.
 That night by the fire in the office shack of the mine boss Esther and Quabba told again such parts of their story as they cared to tell to the rough but sympathetic new found friends around them. Esther told of her search for Arthur, calling him

The mine foreman and his wife joined with the throng of miners that surged around the motor and the strange pair that drove it-a pallid gypsy hunch- back and a half-fainting girl with Q face like a flower.
