train going to Las Vegas was standing
on the passenger track. Storm ran to
the caboose and explained his anxiety
to the train crew. who were prompt to
mako ready to aid him. They pulled
out with Storm in the cab to scan the
right OF way.
In Seagrue's machine Lug and Bill
opened Helen's satchel. They found
a big package Of letters, and believed
they had in them the contracts.
Helen, in the rush of cold air, had
begun to revive. AS a precaution to
prevent her giving any alarm-though
machines were sufficiently scarce on
the desert-Lug took Helen's handker-
chief from her satchei, tied it roughly
over her mouth, laid her on the seat,
cautioned her harshiy 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 man down. Indeed, but for
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
the car at his feet. Spike never neg
lected investigating anything that fell
in his way. He picked the handker-
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.
