once there had come to her the recol-
lection of how the day before she had
saved herself from Mahlin and Sat-
suma.
Listen to me, Hook" she COM
manded. There is no time to find a
rope-we would be dead before you
could get back with one. But you
can get grapevine-a long one, such
as swung across the gulch on-there
are lots Of them in the forest--I saw
them this morning But you must
hurry, Hook hurry or
you will be too late"
Nodding his comprehension of her
plan, the sailor turned and ran toward
the forest.
ut is a splendid idea, dear said
Hope. 1T never occurred to me. II
we are saved it will be due to YOU"
Il hope that he will get back in
time" she remarked, as matter-of.
factly as though there depended upon
his return nothing more important
than a social engagement, but terror
was gnawing at her heart, for she
could feel herself slowly sinking.
The time dragged by. The second.
passed like minutes, and the minutes
seemed like hours Though tormented
by myriads OF insects, they dared moi
stir for fear of fastening the end. Al,
ready the black oozc was above their
hips and was slowly, inexorably
creeping higher.
Dear heart" said Cleo, after long
pause, Gift Hook should not gel
back in time, | want to go down hold
ing your hand. I shall not be fright
ened of death, then"
you dear, brave girl 'groanet
Hope; this is all my fault. l seem tc
have brought you nothing but misery
and trouble"
you have brought me nothing bu
happiness, dear" said Cleo. "Ant
death holds few terrors so long as yo,
are beside me"
But we are not going to die" sh'
exclaimed a moment later, There
Hook and he has the grapevine"
Her quick eye had detected thu
seaman as he emerged from the for
est, and he had, as she said. til,
grapevine; a monster creeper as thicl
as a cable and almost as strong. Ven
turing as far into the marsh as hi
could with safety, Hook coiled thu
giant vine and threw it as cowbo,
throws a lariat.
Take hold of it, Cleo" Hope di
rected, "and hang tight. When
count three Hook is to pull for al
he is worth and you must kick, strug
gle. do everything you can to loosei
yourself"
The seaman, wrapping the vim
around him like the anchor in a tug
of-war, spat on his single hand, and
when Hope gave the signal, threy
every ounce OF his 800 pounds into hi
pull, while at the same time Gle,
struggled frantically to free herself
Slowly, sullenly, reluctantly, tn
marsh monster released its prey an
Hook dragged her to the banks an
safety. To extract Hope was not s.
easy, for, owing to his greater weigh
he had sunk into the bog almost t.
his armpits, but at last, after repeate
attempts, Hook and Cleo succeede
in effecting his rescue.
Late that afternoon mob of cheer
ing townsmen surged up the mai
streets of Santa Eutalia bearing o
its shoulders weary, very mud
stained but very beautiful girl an
two equally weary and mud-staine
men. Cleo Burke, whose mysteriou
disappearance had aroused the Who'll
countryside, whose pictures and de
scription were on the walls of ever
police station and post Office in tn
state, had been found.

Jarvis, I feel as though I were
sinking"
ITS all right, dearest" he an
swered, reassuringly. There's moth
ing to be worried about. Stand per-
fectly still and I'll get you out all
right
But despite his confident tone he
was worried, terribly worried, for he
appreciated that their plight was a
desperate one,
Don't come any farther, Hook" he
called to the seaman, who had started
after them. Were in trouble. Get
back at once or you'll be in trouble
yourself"
Whats the matter. lootenant?"
shouted Hook, as, obeying Hopes
order, he regained the bank. "Are
you in quicksand3"
"I'm afraid So" Hope answered.
1--WE can't move and we seem to be
slowly sinking"
what shall I dor" the sailor
shouted. Shall get some branches2"
II don't think they'll do any good,
Hook came the answer. Were in
too deep. The only way to get us
out is with rope. You'd better hurry
down the valley and see If you can
find help. You may run across a
cowboy with lariat. But you'll have
to hurry or you'll be too late
But to himself Hope said: HE car
never make 1t. We will have sunk
long before he can get back with
help. God-what a death--to die ir
quieksand.'
Keep cheered up, Miss Cleo, and
you, too, lootenant," called Hook, as
he started off on a numbering run
"Ill be back with q rope before you
know I've started"
Suddenly Cleo's young voice rang
out. Hook, Hook" she called wait

Trust Company Protests
On Water Board Charges

The Peters Trust company has pro-
tested to the water board against pay
ing for the standpipes installed on its
property. The water board ordered
that the trust company, as well as
other concerns who have raised the
same objections, must pay up or the
water will be shut off. The shutting
off of the standpipe water supply in
some cases would effect the entire
building, it Is said.

eAAy quest of East 1862, only to
learn that no such number was pub
lishe-. His ingenuity not being great,
he could think Of no means to learn
the address Of the mysterious Mr..
King. So keenly had he been impress
ed with the omniscience of that shad-
owy being who knew all his past that
he feared to inquire Of the eastern ex-
change. His banking account was
growing handsomely, and, above all
things, he dreaded to kill the goose
that laid the golden eggs.
