To get possession of the missing half of the chart to a mine in the most remote recesses of the Sierras, John Gwyn, a young American mining engineer, starts out alone into the mountains which he well knows are infested with outlaws who are there for the sole purpose of killing him. Gwyn at the point of his pistol forces a secret agent of the Central Powers to tell him the name of the desperado who has the paper and then searches him out and forces him to deliver it up.

By JANE MCLEAN

In the first place, Lii had never
really liked the man. She had sim
ply accepted his attentions and let
it go at that. Hundreds of girls are
doing the same every day. After all,
a man is a man, and means a certain
amount of fun and attention, and if
girl is just fairly attractive a mans
attention will flatter her, and nine
times out of ten she will say yes to
this and that suggestion until it be-
comes the custom for him to occupy
the front parlor with her two nights
a week. Both of the young people
get into a rut and neither likes 10
change things, and SO matters jog
along until something turns up TO
break off the friendship.
Lii had forgotten just how she
happened to go about with Johnny
Dale. But they had met somehow,
and out of chance acquaintance
ship had developed a regular habit.
Neither Lii nor Johnny thought very
much about love. Beyond a few
chance kisses awkwardly stolen at
the door when Johnny was taking
her home, their friendship was free
from love making. Lii hadn't mind
liked the fact that the other girls in
community where men were
scarce, spoke of him as Lil's man,
and 1t was nice to be taken to dances
and to the movies, although in her
| secret heart Lii would have enjoyed
1t just as much with another girl.
There came a time when little
things that Johnny did began to get
on LIS nerves. Perhaps she had
not noticed before or perhaps Johnny
had been more careful, but at any
rate he did have a disagreeable habit
of manicuring his nails in public and
speaking to her carelessly in slang
terms. 1t got so bad that Lii would
exclaim pettishly if any one men,
toned Johnny's name to her, and
the two would frequently wrangle
during one of the weekly calls.
You'd think we had been mar
ried five years or so." Lii exclaimed
one evening after a disagreement.
Johnny had laughed.
That's right" he had retorted.
I'm even getting that hang dog look
that a henpecked husband always
has"
Lii looked at him scornfully, and
her lip curled. Anyone who went
by the name of Johnny could never
expect to go very far In the world
anyway, she reflected. No one ever
referred to him as John. But she
did not put her thoughts into words.
The rut was too deep to climb out
of at present and Lii hadn't had a
sufficient boost.
