combat for mastery, struggling in each
others arms threShed out Of thicket
into the open road.
Just how long they struggled is
prOhlematical They were evenly
matched and fought with the skin and
strength Of athletes To whom every
trick Of the wrestler was known. each
determined to beat the other down.
One wore the uniform Of a private OF
the United States army and had any
one obtained clear glimpse Of his
face during these rapid coutortions
and ever changing postures, Adams
would have been recognized for IL was
he. The other mans face was not ex-
posed even TO Adams himself But the
resemblance was to Toxic, who in real.
ity II was. He had lost the card,
evaded his guide and returning TO the
scene ran sQuarely into the coloners
mysterious orderly.
Adams resisted his opponent stub
bornly and valiantly, but by trick
was finally laid low. The noise Of
his fall and the sound OF a pistol shot
occurred simultaneously He lay for
moment stunned When he strug-
gled to his feet he caught sight Of
horse and rider speeding toward cover
and then, blinking his eyes, he found
Pearl Dare confronting him pointing
revolver at his head.
Without removing his eyes from the
barrel OF the weapon. he felt for the

by him like the wind disappearing in
the chapparal before he could draw up
and turn.
When they came again within the
range Of his observation, they were
mere moving specks In the sand glis-
tening under the moonlight.
Whereupon he made discovery. In
the road at his feet he saw something
white. He dismounted and picked 1t
up. 1t was lady's visiting card.
Striking light the man, who was a
Mormon army scout, leaned against
his horse and examined the card close
ly. An exclamation fell from his lips.
He hid the card in a safe place on his
person. remounted and rode of.
Had he fingered in that near neigh
borhood there Is no telling how certain
subsequent events might have arrang-
ed themselves. He would at least have
beheld remarkable sight. For short

shrouded distance, two men In q grim

belt smiling slowly when his hand
came in contact with 1t. Then he
yawned, stretched his limbs and point
edly ignoring her threatening attitude,
beat the dust out of his clothes with
his hat AS he stood upright, the rim
OF blood red sun emerged upon the
horizon and night fled before the rapid
approach Of new day.
"Waal, little lady, w-what hev got
that gun against me flor? You're not
going to s-save my skin one minute
and shoot me t-the next, are your he
asked, perplexed.
II don't know exactly what I'm 60
ing to do with you until ask few
questions" she began sharply, keeping
him covered. "Who was that MANI
"That's what / m-mighty near found
out" he replied, ruefully. II don't
know w-what he was fightin' me fer.
You came Jest in the n-nick of time"
He tapped the belt. "Mebbe this"
Naturally" she replied with irony.
Everybody seems to want that belt
you more than anyone else. Why did
you present me with 1t and while
was asleep steal 1t from me? If 1t Is
true that it belonged to Captain Payne,
which you aver, it must conceal some
mystery in connection with the crime
of which his guilt has never been made
clear to me,-and | am determined to
know its secret !"
He looked at her steadily. "Ths
amt no thine to talk about s-suCh
things"
Don't equivocate" she exclaimed,
irritably. 'If can't make you speak,
| can make you do something else.
Come-the belt-let me have it,"
"Nows not a s-safe time" he rea-
soned He pointed in evaporation to
a cloud of sand just ahead. Come
on !" Grasping her by the arm, he
started to pull her into the bushes.
In an uncomfortable stubbornness
Pearl broke away from him and, be-
fore he knew what she was doing,
faced with rash courage a band Of
armed Granadians swooping down up
on them. She realized her mistake
Immediately But it was too late.
They received the shots from her re-
vOlver much as they would have re-
garded rain of pebbles and before
Adams could interfere they overpOw-
cred and sped away with the girl In
their possession. He plunged headlong,
but uselessly, after them for while.
Then he stopped and swept the horl-
zon with anxious eyes. His express
sion Of alarm instantly changed to an
almost boyish eagerness. For high
over the arid waste in those Grana-
dian dunes among which the marau-
ders disappeared with his ward, he be-
held familiar bird-like shape. An
army air scout was on the hunt for
Pearl
He waved his hat, yelled, mounted
to an elevation and vainly endeavOred
to attract the flyers attention.
The blrd-man had located the raid
ers. Aware only that he had discov-
cred and in turn been discovered by
them and unaware of the imminent
peril to which he was exposing the
colonels daughter Of whom he saw no
trace, he hurtled torrent Of destruc-
ton earthward.
Riders, wild-eyed and pallid with
terror, dashed about heter-skelter,
some toppling. Here and there both
horses and men were stricken down by
the flying death. In twinkling those
escaping had fed the spot.
Then came the climax and Adams

far from felt.

ply.

Into his features there crept the
cunning Of the criminal. He turned
toward her fawning.

Bolero tried to read her thoughts.
'When he returns" She paused
and shrugged.

bandit leader, his eyes cleaning.
"Then, perhaps, l may not be averse
to becoming-your queen. Senior Bo-
lero."
Bolero showed his weak side. ut
ees my pleasure to agree and-remem-
ber,' he replied with sentimental mean
ing.
Bertha laughed and turned to Toxic
who had been listening to their con-
versation in no little wonder.

ship your mistress. win you take
message to her and return telling me
that she has received it? Then she
whispered in his ear. There will be

Toxic gave her a searching glance.

Bertha Immediately wrote her mes
sage on the back of one of her name

An hour later Toxic and compan-
ion, Quilted for long ride, dashed
past the vigilant sentinels of the ca
marilla secluded in the border hills
and struck out for open country, To

wardly for he was blindfolded and tied
In his saddle. His horse was stubborn
and nervous, not accustomed to being
led. They went along several miles,
Toxic knocking about In his seat until
in sheer misery he told the guide to
stop. He could not proceed farther
under such handicap.
While he and the guide were holding
a parley, a bulky looking individual
on powerful horse suddenly appear
ed around a sharp bend in the trail
galloping in their direction. The guide
quickly cut Toko's thongs, removed
his blindfold and released the pony as
the only thing to do If both were to
get away, concealment from the new
conner being impossible.
They urged their animals toward
the approaching horseman and went

When Pearl collected her scattered
wits, she missed the paper at once
and found herself In an automobile
which was racing along a desert trail.
The driver wore wet clothes. On the
floor near her feet wet black muffieE

as the one used on such occasions by
the Silent Menace. Then she caught
sight of her companions face.
"Tokol" she exclaimed in utter as
tonishment; for it was her chauffeur.
Toxic turned a grim visage toward
her.
