 These latter saw a bareheaded man flashing down the track, waving his arms.
 They've got Storm" exclaimed Spike. They carried him off first, to throw him into an ore car. They meant to throw us both in. If they've thrown George into one of those cars, the minute it's loaded, he'll be killed,"
 Helen blanched. To threaten Storms life was to touch her heart. We must get aboard" she cried to those about her, and run the train up to the mine without losing a minute. Hurry" she cried. everybody"
 Rhinelander hastened the excited guests into the cars, signaled the con- ductor and the Special. swiftly gather ing speed. started to catch the freight train at the mine.
 Tn the gondola into which he had been flung. Storm, pounded and shaken over the rough rail joints, gradually recovered consciousness.
 He knew he was in no danger until he should reach the mine, not even then if he were only able to cry out. But struggle as he would, he could not release his hands and feet nor the gag that half choked him. Every movement of the train was so familiar to him that it added to the horror of his situation.
 He was hoping it might stop before 1t should reach the deadly chute. for 1t was this that constituted his peril.
 Revolving rapidly in his mind the features of his situation, he felt the car rolling slowly and monotonously on until it seemed as if the train must have traversed twice the length of the switch-the track Of which he was fla miliar with-and the farther he was pulled, the worse his predicament looked. .
 The car rolled slower and slower lie knew well what the engineer was doing: pulling ahead 10 spot the last gondola under the chute. Storm saw, as the condemned man sees the blade oi the guillotine poised above him. the chute itself come into sight. The next moment his own gondola drew under it and stopped.

happy over the fortunate outcome O. the day that the evening festivities at Helen's home were looked forward to with pleasurable excitement. l. was an open secret among her friends that this occasion was to signalize the public announcement of her engage ment to George Storm.
 The evening assemblage was bril- liant. Not alone with the guests of the day but a second special had come from the city bringing another car of friends and a procession of motor cars brought to the door guests from the neighboring estates.
 In the house, Helen. radiant in eve ming attire, was descending the stairs. Storm waited at the foot to meet her and after receiving her guests she left the scene for a few moments with her lover. The last among the laggards seemed to have arrived when a shts limousine, turning in from the fiIgfi- way, was driven rapidly through the grounds and stopped in front of Helen's door. The car contained three men--Seagrue, Ward and Adams.
 Wait in the garden" was Seagrue's command to his companions T will go in, look the field over and report in Q few minutes"
 When Seagrue crossed Helen's threshold that night, strange feeling came over him. An Oceanside lady. an old acquaintance. was the first to ex- tend greetings. She noticed the strained expression of his face and the ravages made on it by his recent dissipation. She was, indeed. shocked. q haven't seen you for an age" she declared. And you're not looking a bit well. either, I can tell you. Whats the mat. ter?" she demanded. A shudder seemed to pass over him as she spoke. Are you ill?" she asked with wide open eyes.

| dis machine was capable of. "One minute" she reminded him pathetical- ly and more than once, may mean a life very dear to me. Do the very best you can. won't you?" she pleaded.
 Tense and collected under the strain, Helen, staring through the open cab window, had only eyes for the ore cars, which in another moment she saw stood in on the switch with the last gondola spotted for loading under the chute.
 What car had Storm been thrown into? The question racked her nerves and clutched at her heart.
 With Storm still struggling on the ise floor, the foreman of the ore plant. SsSmg Q fresh chew of tobacco. sig lIstsd g core oni" A man below threw keEever ana the jagged quartz rock iaspbled with a roar into the chute

 A cry outside, a woman's voice, hard ly reused him from his stupor. But the next moment he felt a great shock. It seemed as if he were launched srecipi- tately into space; the world was fall ing around him. Overhead. a mighty roar crashed on his hearing-con- sciousness left him.
 What had happened was that Helen, leaping from the gangway of the en- zine almost before the Special. its wheels ground by the brakes, fully stopped, had run swiftly up the switch track beside the gondola in which Storm lay. She had no means Of knowing whether this car contained her lover It was too late to signal the

But at the instant the monster nav was opened and tons of heavy quartz shot into the gondola, Helen, outside the car, turned the dumping key and Storm dropped through the opened car bottom under the trestle. The ore at the same moment was pour ing in at the top.
 When the young engineer returned to consciousness, Helen was raining tears and kisses on his upturned face. He lay under the trestle. freed from the cords that had so nearly caused his death, mine men and the guests of the day crowding around. He stag gered to his feet and greeted his de- liverer.
 They had Spike, too" he said, speaking rapidly to Helen. We must find him before he is smothered."
 There was no need for her to an- swer. Spike spoke for himself. And what want to do," he said with heat, when he had told Storm the story. lis to get that Special back to the bridge and get after the guy that roped me"
 The neighborhood was secured for a sign of their assailants. They found where the taxicab had stood in which Seagrue's pair had come up. But the two had long ago made their escape and were running back to town to re- port to their employer
 Fastening up the stairs. locking guiltily over their shoulders as if fear full of immediate apprehension fer their crime, Ward and Adams burst into Seagrue's room.
 Seagrue was in waiting. We got Storm" Ward began.
 "Good." cried Seagrue.
 Spike got away!"
 Seagrue struck his fist into his open hand. T wanted that fellow worse than the other" he muttered between his teeth. For another moment he stood deep in thought. Then he turned savagely on Ward. If Spike escaped. he will be at Helen's home. We will get him there" Ward nodded as cool ly as if a further crime were a mere detail.

CUTOFF TO SUPERSTITION MINE
Helen Holmes to Drive Last Spike.

At noon today Helen Holmes, daughter of the late General Holmes, assisted by Superintendent A. Rhine lander and Construction Engineer George Storm will drive the spike that marks the completion of the Super Stition cutoff.
 Seagrue read with anger. To his disordered mind, now victimized by drink, it seemed as if the celebration were intended to signalize his own defeat.
 In a furious mood, he struck the bell to summon Adams, his servant. When the latter appeared his master said curtly: Bring Ward here at once," and turned to the decanter that had latterly become his most intimate resource.
 The moment Ward came in with Ad- ans, Seagrue picked up the newspa. per. Look at that" he said, without preliminary words. Ward read the headlines hastily. You see what 8 going on," exclaimed Seagrue, labor ing apparently under excitement. "I want you to get busy"
 ! He spoke the last words in tone that left no doubt of his meaning. And Ward, old in ways of intrigue and crime, looked at him so under standingly that Seagrue had hardly need to add what he did: This is my last chance" he muttered. viciously 'I want them both. Get them. I'll make you rich"
 Ward was quick to assent. He was quick to act. and after conferring hur- riedly on details Seagrue started the two men out. In the street. Ward and Adams boarded a taxicab, gave their orders to the driver and were -whirled rapidly out on the desert.

FIFTEENTH INSTALLMENT
DRIVING THE LAST SPIKE

It was week later that there were social activities again in Helen's home Rhinelander had come down from the mountains with Storm to announce to Helen the completion of the Superstition cutoff, the cause of so much. enmity and bitterness between the rival roads that had striven to achieve its successful building.
 Helen was making ready, when they arrived, to join her two friends, and all returned to the station to take the special train that was to carry them with a party up the line to cele- brate the driving of the last spike a responsibility that Rhinelander had assigned, over all her protests, to Helen herself
 The train, gayly decorated, pulled in early and the party-railroad men. constructionists and personal friends of the getting out on the platform at Signal, gave it for mo ment an air of social gayety. The stop was made only long enough to exchange greetings. and the party. en- larged by the Signal contingent, again boarded the train to continue the jour ney to the cutoff.
 The morning newspapers at Ocean side had contained articles descriptive of the prospective celebration, and it was in one of these that a headline fell under Seagrue's eye as he sat in his living room reading his paper.
