leverman. TOO late for him to avert the
disaster, If N were impending from
his action-the chute was coming
down. 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. I'VE must
find him before he is smothered."
There was no need for her to an
swer. Spike spoke for himself. And

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 we're running back to town to re-
port to their employer.

guilty. over their shoulders as if fear
full of immediate apprehension for
their crime, Ward and Adams burst
into Seagrue's room.
Seagrue was in waiting. 1--WE got
Storm" Ward began.
Good" cried Seagrue.
Spike got away"
Seagrue struck his fist into his open
hand. Il 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 IL a further crime were a mere
detail. "I'm going up there tonight"
continued Seagrue, "and | must change
for the evening now. Adams has two
guns. Stop! There they are, on he
table"
Seagrue, a little later, came in
dressed. His tools had made their
preparations and we're dismissed with
the injunction to eat their dinners be-
fore the murder was committed.

Their hurry. however, was too great,
and the very place where they should
have looked, they passed. Even be-
fore they were well out Of the way,
Spike had released his feet and gain
ing the track was running at full
speed back to where Helen was wait
ins beside the Special with her friends.
These latter saw a bareheaded man
dashing 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. 1--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 FASTENED tie 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.
In 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 ii added to the horror of
his situation.
He was hoping it might ttop 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
q rolling slowly and m]onotonously
on until 1t seemed as il the train must
have traversed twice the length of the
switch-the track of which he was ia
miliar with-and the farther he was
pulled, the worse his predicament
looked.
The a rolled slower and slower.
He knew we'll what the engineer was
doing: pulling ahead to spot the last
gondola under the chute. Storm saw,
as the condemned man sees the blade
OIL the guillotine poised above him,
the chute itself come into sight. The
next moment his own gondola drew
under 1t and stopped.
Helen, on the Special, had taken her
place in the cab where she could urge
the engineer to every burst OF speed

the day that the evening festivities
at Helen's home were looked forward
to with pleasurable excitement. 1t
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 big
limousine, turning in from the high
way. was driven rapidly through the
grounds and stopped in front of
Helen's door. The car contained three
men-Seagrue, Ward and Adams.

When Seagrue crossed Helen's
threshold that night. a 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 rayages
made on It by his recent dissipation.

open eyes.
