CHAPTER LII.
A DANGEROUS Connection.

A Dangerous Connection.
There are few drivers of a high
power car who permit themselves re-
straint upon an open road. But the
machine that crept along the avenue
in this sparsely settled portion of sub
urban Los Angeles seemed almost
crippled. Everything passed it-even
horsedrawn vehicles.
And one horse in particular kept al
ways on ahead. This horse was An
nette llington's.
There were four people in this car
and three of them were waiting for
the inevitable to happen. They crept
on and on-always two hundred yards
behind.
All" exclaimed Hernandez finally,
1T eats in"
He was quite right Suddenly the
horse ahead swerved sharply to one
side, violently shook its head and neck
-leaped frantically into the air, and
then, with a violent burst of speed,
tore down the road like fire.
Hernandez increased his speed to
twenty miles-to twenty-five-but the
horse tore on before him. Annette
was riding like the wind-but she had
lost control.
Joe, in the car behind, leaped to
his feet and tried to force his way
from the car. Let me out" he cried,
struggling; Il got her into this, and
I'll get her out"
Hernandez turned to the Brute.
Hold him." he commanded. And the
Brute obeyed.
Inez Castro now was on her feet.
Look ok-look-look," she cried, the
horse is mad-hell kill her-look-.
ah-ah-"
1t was all over. In one final burst
of frenzy the horse had leaped high
in the air, and come down on all fours,
not on the solid road, but in the ditch.
Annette was flung violently from her
steed-and struck the ground with a
thud. The horse, freed of his burden,
sped on-up the road-sped on.
Hernandez stopped his car. Joe
leaped out and ran to Annette.
She's killed" he said.
Hernandez followed him. IF so, we
cannot help it," he returned calmly.
"If she's killed. did it, you black
guard" cried Joe, remorsefully.
Inez bent over the girl. shes not
dead" she said, shes very much
alive. She's only stunned"
Hernandez motioned to the Brute,
sCarry her to the car" he commanded,
And the Brute again obeyed.
Now, slowly" commanded Inez Of
Hernandez, until revive the girl"
They were in open country now
the community was but sparsely set
tied. Hernandez glanced warily from
side to side.
"We must make haste" he mused,
! taking a grass-grown road to the
right.
He stopped the car before a house.
1t was an ordinary dwelling. There
was no sign of life about it. The
grass in the dooryard was a foot high.
Everything appeared unkempt. But
in the parlor window was sign: To
let, furnished. Hernandez stepped in
to the dooryard and peered into the
| windows.
We'll let it rnished-free-for a
! short time" he said.
He forced the door and entered.
"All the comforts of home he said,
smiling, fetch in the girl
Back in the city, Neal, off duty once
again, sought Annette at her hotel.
She's gone again-alone," said Mrs.
Hardin. "she would go. She's so rest
! less she couldn't sit still"
! Neal smiled. He was not worried.
He got a saddle horse and started
! off in the direction taken by Annette,

CHAPTER LIV.
A Piece Of Steel.

Meals first duty was toward An
nette-his second toward Joe. He
carried Joe tenderly to the side OF
the road and left him there, covered
with green boughs. Then he lifted
Annette upon his steed and set off for
help. 1t took time to find a surgeon
time to get car.
Meantime things happened at the
furnished house-the house so swiftly
and violently unfinished by its in
terloping tenants.
Inside the room nothing but a mass
of wreckage was to be seen. But
slowly, painfully, impelled by some
unseen force, this mass of wreckage
slowly rose. Beneath it some giant
writhed and wrigsied.
Finally head appeared-the
Btute's head.
He looked about the room. Moth
ing was to be seen. He peered into
the depths from which he had just
emerged. Then suddenly he saw some
thing.
Seeing-he worked away like mad.
Inside of ten minutes, Inez, in stu
por, was staring at the Brute from
one side of the room-Hernandez from
the other.
Hernandez shook the lethargy from
him. He crawled to lnez.
"Up-up," he cried, tugging at her.
I'VE have no time to lose. Come on,
you beast-come on
Selling them both, tearing at them
frantically, like mad, he sped with
them toward a cluster of trees on the
other side of the road.
In the midst of this dense growth he
had hidden his machine.
Painting with frenzy, his glance ever
over his shoulder, he forced them
into the car, sprang to the wheel,
threw in the clutch, and was off.
1t was three days later on the high
seas. that Hernandez-his other two
companions well hidden in the hold
stole out of the companion way of a
fruit steamer bound for the southern
seas
He glanced cautiously around cor
ner.
The first figure that met his sight
was Neal Hardin-an ensign in the
navy.
What's he doing here?' demanded
Hernandez of himself.
He watched warily. What he saw
disturbed him.
Neal was giving orders to the cap
tain of the ship.
Hernandez looked about him. Sud
denly he darted forward, stopped. and
picked up something from the floor
What is it," queried Inez.
"a piece of STEEL" he said.
That night, we'll muffled, he stole
toward the compass, and concealed his
piece of steel where it would do the
most good-or most harm. as you pre-
fer. No one saw him-no one knew
But on his return, turning corner
he ran full tilt into Ensign Neal Har
din himself. Neal sprang upon the
mufled figure and tore the envelopine
cloak from Hernandez grasp. y
YOU" cried Neal, leaping for Her
nandez. 1--WE got you now"
They struggled like tigers, but Nea
took no chances. This was no tes
bout. He wanted to make sure of hi:
man. He called for help. Help came
A dozen men pounced upon Herman
deZ.
When he was safely chained Nea
rose to his feet.
We've got him." said Neal briefly
He gave an order. Search the ship,
he said.
The ship was searched, and with

"BACKED BY THE u. S. NJ"
CHAPTER LII.
A Thorn in the Flesh.

1t was late at night when Hernandez
and his two companions. Senorita lnezI
Castro and the Brute, crept to the out
skirts of the village of Santa Maria,
and stealthily approached the ram
shackle old hotel For two days they
had kept carefully out of sight.
They had left the dead Ponto to his
fate. He had now become a cipher.
He was food for the jackals and they
left him to the jackals.
Then" said lne% 1t shall be Pom

Hernandez leered at her. What.
does II matter" he returned; what is.
mine is yours, fair lnez-lnez, mine
own"
She crept to him, resting her shoul-
der against his breast.
you mean that, Hernandez" she
queried, a jealous note tinging her
tone. There is no one-there never
shall be one-save lne2?'
Hernandez leered again. Time
and time have | not told you so?'I
he answered. 1--WE are one-as in tho
pns,-so in the prsent-so in the fu-
ture."
Hernandez brushed her gently TO
one side and rose q his feet. War

ness now-and later, happiness. A
whirl of happiness-of worldwide
happiness When am king of a prin-
cipality-and you are queen Come
let us on
Softly he Crept to secluded door
way of the hotel and knocked cautious
ly upon it. 1t was opened in due
course. The frowzled head of sery-
ant thrust itself forth.
"Ah" whispered Hernandez, my
good friend"
He slipped a goodly coin into the
hand of his good friend-and the good
friend became at once a better friend.

dez. Have they gomez

temporary safety, bec.Joned to his two
companions and the three crowded
into the dingy little closet Of the por-

He turned back TO the porter. Tell

Many hours later at Los Angeles,

Spread upon the table were a num-

Among them was locket. Among them
were a patchedtogether parchment
map and a Spanish grant.
The admiral leaned toward the
United States district attorney-the
latter had come down from San Fran

killed her-he must bring her to life
again.
With her in his arms he started up
the lane-whither he knew not.
Suddenly, in the distance, he saw
Neal-on horseback. Welcher broke
into run toward his foster brother.
"She-she lives,' said Joe thickly,
"at any rate-you can tell her-tell
mother-tell yourself-that l brought
her back-to life. That pays up-pays

He fell prone upon the ground.
Neal knelt by his side. Cone" he
said, taking off his hat, gone, An

"Joe-Joe," she cried lis it-true?'
Joe turned away-his chest heaving.

Never mind, Joe, fair one" said
Hernandez, taking from his pocket a
legal document already carefully pre-
pared, I'VE have business at hand.
This document-you should really
know what it contains. 1t is in proper
shape, assure you. A bit soiled PEP

pocket-but well worded. Look-it is
complete. 1t is even acknowledged
before a United States consul in Cen

may be on record somewhere-who

us therefore be complete. Take in
hand a pen, my pretty. Sign your
name, over this erasure-opposite this

I'll never sign," returned Annette.
"You will sign" said Hernandez
evenly. "and you will hand over to us,
all the evidence you have upon your
person. Sign"
NO." said Annette.
"Well and good" went on Herman

hold her firm. Disobey and the lash

coat pocket a piece of cord. He tied
the ends together.
Despite her struggles he fitted this
and thrust into it a piece of wood.
Then he began to twist.
Tell me when you've had enough
he said.
Like a stone from catapult Joe
Welcher hurled himself across the
room and was upon Hernandez in
flash. Under the assault Hernandez
retreated violently to the wall, strik-
ing his head against the mantel.
Are you crazy, you-worm?" cried
Hernandez with snarl.
"Ive-turned," snarled Joe in re-
! turn
Without waiting for breath he flung
himself once more at Hernandez.
Help" cried Hernandez. "lnez-

Inez was a valuable ally. She at
tackled Joe from the rear, and her as
sault was effectual. Her onslaught
was so severe that it caused Joe to re-
treat. He did retreat until he faced

for them. He seized a chair and
whirled it about his head-frenzy lend

With one wild final swing he brought

There was a ripping, tearing, crack

room plunged into semi-darkness.
