CHAPTER II.
The Ambush.

Alaire Austin, like most normal
women, had surprising amount of
endurance, both nervous and muscu-
lar, but, having drawn heavily against
her reserve force, she paid the penalty.
During the early hougs Of the night
she slept hardly at all; as soon as her
bodily discomfort began to decrease
her mind became unruly, and it was
not until nearly dawn that She dropped
off into complete Inconsistencies. She
was awakened by sunbeam which
pierced her leafy shelter.
1t was still early; the sun had just
cleared the valleys rim and the ground
was damp with dew. Somewhere near
by an unfamiliar bird was sweetly
trilling. Alaire listened dreamily I'M

familiar cowboy song, then she I at

David Law was watering his horse,
grooming the animal meanwhile with
burlap cloth. It was beautiful
blood-bay mare, and as the woman
looked it lifted its head, then with
wet, trembling muzzle scaressed its
owners cheek. Undoubtedly this at
tention was meant for kiss, and was
as daintily conferred as any woman's
favor. 1t brought a reward in lump
of sugar.
"Good morning" said Mrs. Austin.
Law lifted his hat in a graceful sa-
lutte as he approached around the edge
of the pool, his spurs jingling musical
ly. The mare followed.

kATMA| VOLCANO FRAUGHT WITH
 DANGER
(By Associated Press)


 KODIAK, April 30. Recent visit to Katmai volcano, which lies eighty miles north of here, have convinced those making the trip that it will be some time before the worlds greatest volcano will be listed as a regular ex- hibit for tourists. The situation around the crater is a little too realis- tic and fraught with danger.
 Mud flows, unannounced floods of frightful proportions, landslides and occasional gusts of gas are constantly occurring and three groups of craters surrounding the king of all modern craters take turns at steaming.
 Katmai is of the explosive type of crater and presents few of the char acteristics shown by the Hawaiian vol canoes, there being no lava in sight. The original eruption was a series of cannon like reports by which so vast a mass of matter was hurled skyward that the atmosphere over the whole surface of the earth was affected. This material was hurled out in the form of gas filled pumice, lighter than water.
 An idea of the extent of the erup- ton in distances is gained by the fol- lowing comparison. Had the eruption occurred in the loop district of Chi cago the whole city would have been buried under from 15 to 25 feet of ash and it would have been six months before anyone could approach nearer than Evanston.
 There would have been a foot of ashes at Springfield, H., and an inch at Cairo, while the explosions would have been heard in New York and Philadelphia and fine dust and fumes would have been noted in New Or leans.
 Katmai canyon, at the foot of the crater was so filled with ashes by the original eruption that vast lake was formed in the upper reaches of the stream. Last spring this dam broke and precipitated a flood so vast that the high water mark shows it to have been fifteen feet deep where the val ly is five miles wide. The remaining dposit of water soaked pumice, many feet in depth, actually is flowing sea ward as mass with a slow glacier like motion. It is like quicksand and dangerous to cross. Cold bay, 25 miles south of the crater, has been filled for several miles out from the original shore line by pumice brought down by the streams.
 Among the phenomena noted as a result of the eruption Is that pumice dust blowing from the sunny side of the slopes in the spring has covered snow drifts remaining on the north slopes so deep as to keep it from melt ing all summer. Thus layers of snow and pumice are accommodating in the northern valleys, which may remain for years.
 The sharp pumice particles blown about by the wind cut weird designs in the dead trees and brush and have
