treason among the Russian soldiers in

AT the other end of the bridge Nan

their perilous ride across the chasm.

to proceed to town, when Causley's
automobile, standing where Nan had
seen it on her trip to the mine, met
their eyes They jumped into it, and
a thrilling race between the engine
and the auto began.
For several miles the race contin-

where the road was unusually close

could do no more. He had already
been running the car at its highest

Suddenly, as Gwyn was strugglins
to urge the motor even faster, Mar
shrieked. There was a terrific explo
sion that shook the ground, and this
engine was enyeloped in smoke. A.
One Lung had cautioned, the steam
in the empty water tank had caused
the boiler to blow out, and it seemed
as Nan and Gwyn looked back, a.

Won Bleck was desperate enough to
meet it.
Drive on" he commanded. More
speed" And Causleys car shot out
from the swiftly descending shadow
as the tree crashed to the ground.
Hogan's brakes were grinding fire
as he drew up with jolt that almost
threw the occupants from the car.
They had escaped death by the
merest fraction, but danger meant
nothing now. The heavy tree lay like
a PROSTATE giant across the path.
Sick with the sense of defeat, Gwyn
watched the approach of the other
cars that had followed from the
wreck Then came a horseman--two
of them. II was a fighting chance at
least. The riders had hardly dis
mounted before Nan and Gwyn were
in the saddles, picking their way over
and between the broken foliage, and
then dashing on up the road. But the
first glimpse they had of the COM
missioner's office was all too con-
vincing that their race had been in
vain. The sheriff's car. with Won
Bleck grinning from the tonneau,
was just rolling off down the street,
and Causley himself stood in the
doorway.

Episode 9-"The Bridge of Death,

AS he spoke, Gwyn pushed the
throttle over to the last notch. The
bordering engine made the bridgo
creak beneath it as 1t tore alony NJ
full speed. In the center it seemed for
moment as though the whole
structure, with the engine. mist

by a miracle, the bridge held
the weight, and the engine emerged
safely from the smoke at the other
end of the bridge.

Look! Look! Stop!" Nan shouted
The chasm bridge. See? They've

Gwyn peered ahead through the
dark of approaching night. Directly
in the center of the track he could
see a great, dark form loom up from
at the end Of chasm bridge nearest
him. Won Bleck and his men had pill
ed lumber and stones over the track.
1t was impossible for him to pass.
and, If he attempted to break through
the blockade, they would be thrown
into the gulley to certain death.
Therewas no alternative; Gwyn shut
off the trottle and threw on the
breaks with jam. The wheels
scraped and the engine slowed and
finally stopped. It was within but a
few feet of the obstruction. The old
cable ferry, which was close enough
to be within plain view, was the first
thing to attract Gwyn attention.
We've got to risk that cable"
Gwyn cried to Nan. IF we don't get
to town everything is off. Are you
willing to try?"
Nan nodded, and Gwyn grabbed
the basket. 1t was rotten, and tore
apart at his first pull. Gwyn threw
all his weight on the rope. If it was
like the basket, there was no hope.
But it heidi Nan grasped it, also,
near Gwyn's hands, and, as they
swung out into space, Won Bleck s
men could be heard coming up the
road toward the engine.

He fairly dragged Nan and Hogan
to the auto, explaining as he went.
Hogan, clear eyed and determined,
took the wheel. 1t was a race for the
greatest prize on earth. They swept
down the road like flying project

as they struck the downgrade and
rushed on. Mans ears hummed and
