on the passenger track. Storm ran to
the caboose and explained his anxiety
to the train crew, who were prompt to
make ready to aid him. They pulled
out with Storm in the cab to scan the
right of way.

Helen, in the rush of cold air, had

prevent her giving any alarm-though

chief from her satchel, tied it roughly
over her mouth, laid her on the seat,
cautioned her harshly and covered
her with steamer rug.
Travelling at breakneck pace over
the broad expanse of sand, the car
was entering Las Vegas, when, Cross
ing one of the village streets without
lessening speed, the driver almost
knocked a man down. Indeed, but for
a smart jump, the pedestrian would
have been killed. He turned with a
suppressed curse and looked angrily
after the car that had so nearly struck
him. The occupants he did not recog-
nize; they shot by too fast. But a
handkerchief had CHANGED to fall from

chief up and walked on, still at inter-
walls looking back.
Seagrue was in his rooms, waiting
impatiently for the return of the car.
When it did at last skid wildly around
the corner travelling at a reckless pace.
Seagrue ran downstairs and hurried
the men to get Helen quickly inside.
Spike at this juncture was crossing a
vacant lot. He looked again at the
handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes
turned once more in the direction OF
the machine. He saw that the party
had stopped before building appear
ing to Spikes eyes somewhat familiar.
The next moment the men lifted what
seemed heavy burden from the ma
chine. Helen had been gagged again
and was helpless. But despite her be-
ing wrapped in the rug, Spike got,
from what he saw the whole story
they had Helen. A sudden rage stirred
him, and, throwing caution to the
winds, he dashed across the open lot
toward the alley.

Spikes battered features
Seagrue had brought to the desert
with him from his camp two rogues
whose names had gradually been re-
duced by bad spelling and hard knocks
to "Bill' and Lug" The pair were
in his rooms with him when he asked
whether Spike had come on the pas
senger train.
Bill was looking from the window at
the moment and answered, THAT looks
like Spike down street, now"
In few moments more Spike had
found his way to the rendezvous. Sea-
grue, impatient as always, demanded
to know as soon as he entered the
room what had kept him. Spike told
his story, or at least such part Of it as
he deemed it wise to tell, and, turning
the tables on Seagrue, asked what was
up. Seagrue told him of the right-of-
way contracts expected the following
day by Rhinelander.

registered an oath with his threat "Tll

Leave me out of the job" growled
Spike bluntly.
Seagrue sprang to his feet-he was
a powerful man-and grappled with
the convict The two struggled. Not
a word was spoken. Only the grunt-
ing and gasping Of a life-and-death
grapple, the slipping, gripping and
scuf1ling Of two enraged men, with Lug
and Bill looking on, broke the silence
of the room Spike gradually bore his
enemy backward and downward. Lug
and Bill jumped in to help Seagrue.
Spike, shaking himself free from the
three, whirled into a corner and caught
up chair. Lug jumped for a gun.
Spike, with the strength of giant,
smashed the heavy chair across the
table, shivering it to splinters and,
raising a piece of it as club, sprang
for the door. It'll brain the one that

Helen, next morning in her Office,
was getting ready to take the train.
Seagrue overnight had outlined his
scheme to his two men, and, directing
them how to work, told them that after
they had secured Helen he would pick
them up with his automobile at Mile
Post 149. With this understanding, he

make the hind end of the observa

party of people came out on The oh.
servation platform, and the two men
skunk around to the other side of the
train.
AS soon as they had got their bear
ings, Lug, taking a coil of rope that
Bill had brought, threw it over the
top of the car, where it caught and
hung on one of the gas cocks. Test
ing the rope carefully, the two be-
came satisfied it would hold and, one
following the other, they climbed from
below to the top of the train. When
the train reached Arden station they
were relieved to see the people at the
end of the car leave, and when the
train was once more under way and
the station disappeared from view

Helen and Storm bent over Spike.
He lay dazed. When he was able to
help himself little and with their
aid could rise to his feet, they sup
ported him downstairs.
Their enemies were nowhere to be
seen. But in the roadway stood Sea-
grue's machine. No member of the
party had scruple about confiscating
it. Spike and Storm, together, soon
mad the engine turning and they put
Helen in on the seat where she had
SO lately lain helpless, and drove back
with her to Rhinelander's camp, where
they found him anxiously awaiting
news of his endangered protegee.
He greeted the sight Of Helen with
rejoicing, but his features darkened
when his eyes fell on the redoubtable
Spike. Helen and Storm, enjoying the
mystery of the situation, allowed the
amazement on Rhinelander's face to
grow, as he looked from them to Spike,
and from Spike to Helen and Storm
for an explanation.
Yes cried Helen, laughing at her
foster uncle, Il know it looks strange,
to see us three in friendly company,
doesn't it? But we're friends-aren't

of the car. Inside, Helen was reading
quietly when Lug's hand, holding a
handkerchief saturated with chioro-
form, was thrust through the window
and despite her struggles Helen soon
was overpowered.
With a quick word to Bill, above,
Lug scrambled into the car He placed
Helen, now unconscious, in sitting
position and ran to the hind end to
look for the machine It had over
hauled the train and was speeding be-
side it along the highway. Lug waved
to the driver to come on. Returning
to the car, he motioned to Bill to help
him carry Helen out. The two men

chine, but this he discovered would
never do-the distance was too great.
Bill, an old sailor, came to the res
cue with another arrangement. In a
jiffy he had dashed Helen into kind
of cradle in the middle of the long
rope, and, throwing one end to the
driver, shouted to him to make it fast.
The latter, when he caught the line,
hitched it to the side of his car, and
with the motor and the train still at
high speed, Lug, on the rope, went
hand over hand down to the motorcar.
lLoosening the hitch, he then drew in
the rope, while Bill, on the platform,
carefully paid out and Helen was
transferred, uninjured, from the train
to the machine.
Once within the motorcar, Helen
was unceremoniously dropped to the
bottom and left there, while the ma
chine was turned around and her cap
tors whisked back for Las Vegas with
her.
Storm, by this time, had left the con-
struction camp and was waiting at
Baird for the train bearing Helen. The
train drew in and stopped. To Storms
