'ecge grtpred at Davy as drowning nan clutches 6 floating bic of wreck age.
 The interlocked antagonists nurtled leadlOng down the shalt into the fireplace of the gunrOom. It vas due to the fact that Legar's picked assas- sin had landed underneath. and brok- on the force of Davy's fall. that ,hs badly shaken secretary owed his life. At that instant a yOlley of staccatO reports, like those of Q gatling gun going into action smote their ears
 They've stolen the Mercury" cried the frantic millionaire. and if they've stopped to put the Arrow out Of com mission they can show a clean pair oc heels to anything on the lake
 To Enoch Golden's intense relief the machinery of the high-powered Ar row had not been tempered with end soon the chase was on.
 The delicate mechanism of the Mer- cury revolted at the unskilled han ding of her clumsy-ingered engineer. She began to miss badly. while her speed perceptibly diminished. Lezar caught up his glasses and for mo- ment intently studied the on-coming Arrow. which was evidently gaining.
 Then. with a quick twist of the steering wheel. he sent the racing power boat heading directly for the nearest shore. Even as her sharp prov grated over the shelving beach Legar and his villainous crew swarmed over the side. carrying the fettered girl and the burlap sack with them- They scrambled hastily up the em- bankmert of the railroad track skirt ing the lake. just as the enraged father of the abducted girl beached the pulsating Arrow and sprang has tily ashore.
 Hampered by his captive and ths heavy sack of loot. the master scheu- CT realized he could not nope to out strip his opponents by ordinary meth eds Of flight. But the evil genius of the man was equal to the occasion At little distance down the track a dozen Italian laborers were busy re- pairing the roadbed. under the super vision of a burly Irish foreman. The handcar on which these men went to and from their work had been set off 70 one side of the track near where Legar was standing.
 Get that handear back on the rails and be quick about it. came his sharp command to the men. With his bur. den he leaped aboard and was laugh ing at his pursuers as he raced away.
 Just then an automobile Of ancient vintage. driven by a stupid rustic came wheezing up the highway. which paralleled the railroad.
 We want to catch a handcar that just went up the track" shouted Col den. q will pay you S1OO to help us"
 Legar had congratulated himself too soon on the ease of his escape As the handcar started to;ling up a long, gradual grade. he looked back and saw the automobile loaded with armed men in hot pursuit. But he checked his muttered oath as the sputtering car struck the hill. slowed down and finally came to dead stop. The heavy load had proved too much for the time-worn engine. LeEa- could see his opponents getting cut of the balky automobile. which. re- lieved of it's burden. started crawl ing up the hill. with its passengers hurrying behind it.
 Then the handcsr reached the crest of the rise and went rap fly coasting down the incline on the other side. But Legar knew that eventually he must be overtaken. Human sinevs could not prevail against the power driven vehicles of hI enemies.
 At that moment there beat in upon his ears the long-drawn screech Of a locomotive whistlirg for a crossing With look of fendish hate. LeEar stopped and lifted Margery Golden from the rough flooring Of the jolting handcar and dropped her between the glistening rails.
 In a breathing space his victim would be ground to death beneath the ponderous driving wheels of the en- zine rushing down upon her. But in that breathing space an incomprehen- sible thing took place.
 At some distance beyond the foot of the incline the rails. sweeping in s wide curve, around a bend fin the road. were lost to sight. r. so happened that just around this bend the switch irg apparatus used to throw freight trains on to a siding was undergoing certain repairs at the hands of a blue teamed track walker. This man. all unconscious of threatening tragedy. had finished his labors and was wip- ing his grimy hands on a piece of cotton waste Suddenly he became conscious of a motionless figure stand ing beside him.
 As he glanced up he saw the stran- gers face vas covered by a mask. slit by a groSesquely laughing mouth. Without a word this strange figure bent and grasped the long lever con trolling the switch and the train rolled onto the siding
 The half-cOnscious girl felt herself lifted by tender arms and laid on
