Rhinelander, Storm and the foreman,
went over to examine the break. All
waited on the old miner for a verdict

made a pretty careful examination and
seemed satisfied there was no danger.

Blasting their way into the wall
where the foreman had indicated, the
men, busted with their work, failed to
notice a gradual weakening of the
tunnel roof. Helen, outside the mine
and occupied with other matters,
heard the blasting within, but gave
the subject no further thought. It was
not until a moment following one OF

flew back and forth. A roundup was
hastily made to determine who had
been caught on the inside. Rhineland-
er and Storm were nowhere to be
found-they had almost certainly been
caught with the crew in the tunnel.
Spasmodic efforts were made to
clear the opening. Men, losing their
heads, rushed hither and thither, &C.

Under the impetus of new hope, the

a bird on wing, Helen shot far out
from the mo~untainside and dropping
at a sharp angle down the line, sped
suspended between heaven and earth.
At a distance on the desert, the
Shay engine Of the Neighbor mire was
toiling slowly along when the engineer
saw the figure of q woman clinging to
the aerial carriage Of the Superstition
mine as it shot through the air down
to the valley. Breathless, he watched
the wild fight, expecting every instant
to see the slender creature let go, to
fall, crusSed, to the rock below her.
But Helen did not let go. Hanging
Oh with a desperation born Of the re-
aliZation hat she must save the i'm
prisoned men, she shot across the dam
gerous declivity from top to bottom
and without mishap, jumped in safety
to the foot of the aerial and dashed
away for help. She ran toward the
little railroad, tagged the engine, got
into the cab, and struggling for breath,
appraised the crew of the accident. The
engineer hurriedly started the engine
back to their own mine. Forcing all
the speed that he could get, and with
Helen urging him to spare no effort,
he made the engine bump along over
the Joints as it never had done before.
A dozen times, before they reached
their destination, 1t seemed as il the
sturdy little machine must turn tur-
tie.
Jumping from the cab the moment
the Shay stopped, Helen told of the
disaster. Men a in from all quar-
tiers. and their foreman-an active
f~ellow-gave directions about getting
the stun they should need to work
with at the cave-in. With the least
possible loss Of time. these neces-
saries were assembled and the train
loaded with nien started back. -
In the interval, the news telephoned

and overcome by the foul air, the men,

Outside, the engine and little train

the men were running up the slope.
The few men attacking the face of
the ~cave-in, now greatly REINFORCED,
worked with desperate energy at the

assumed leadership and organized the
