Nina Burr. She was a novice, Ev-
ans saw that, but in her part as the
wife of an inebriate, her rare pathos,
more Of facial expression than enun-
citation, affected Evans powerfully.
The final death of the inebriate amid
the horrors of deIiriUm set Evans to
thinking. The girl left the rehearsal
homeward bound, just in advance of
Evans. She dropped her gloves in
the stage alley without missing
them. Evans restored them to her.
She nodded her thanks brightly, kept
by his side and began a conversation
which was warranted by their being
employed at the same place.
& shall never get ahead inthe pro-
fession," she declared. 81 can't
memorize and the director says my
voice won't do at all"
Evans considered it the sweetest
voice in the world, but did not say
so. To a man who had been Stunned,
to be welcome in such respectable
companionship aroused both appre-
citation and pleasure.
He learned that Miss Burr was
poor and lived with an invalid moth
er. Out of regular work, she had
tried the stage to carry them over a
period of financial stress.
Somehow new interest seemed
to have come into, his life. The next
day he did not take his "bracer1' The

grumbled the actor.

stage" declared Evans.
He was greatly pleased after the
night performance to find Miss Burr
lingering at the stage door. She was
an hOnest-heaTted, sincere little
creature.
"You go my way" she told him,

est regret was evidenced in his ut
terances. There was a sympathetic
pressure to her hand as she babe him
good night.
It was the last night of the week
and the performance was concluded.
Nina was standing talking to the
manager as to continued employ
ment when suddenly Evans sprang
forward. A rOtted tackle had given
way under a strain among the flies.
A heavy piece of framed scenery
came shooting down. On his, higher
shoulders, braced like a gladiator,
Evans caught the lower metal-bOund
edge of the scene.
Back, out Of the way!' he shout
ed, and then as the affrighted Nina
drew out of range of peril he dropped
and the heavy scene held him pinned
to the stage floor.
They got him out from under the
wreck, his collar bone wrenched and
with a broken arm. The manager,
who must bear the responsibility of
the accident, was terribly flustered.
He was for sending his injured en-
ploye to a hospital Nina stepped
to his side.
He saved my life" she said sim
ply. 1T will save you money to have
him nursed at our home"
Racked as was with pain, Evans
gave his little friend a grateful look
and experienced a glow of delight
that brought him to the very TIRES,
hold of love. The manager ordered
a taxicab and left all arrangements
for the comfort of the sufferer to
Nina.
There was a spare room at the
humble home of Nina. Her mother
was able to get about most Of the
time. For a week Evans was con-
fined to indoors. It was a week of
rest, of mental and moral recupera-
ton. Nina and her mother scarcely
knew him when, after his settlement

opened the cover hastily with the other
and flung the fuse down the hatchway.
Madly the two ran from the shack
as fast as they could go.
The second shot had struck Raven
gar in the forehead, inflicting a scalp
wound but glancing off the bone. He
was still alive and breathing heavily.
A CLEAN of light flooded the
cellar as the hatch was raised. Blanca
grasped the shotgun and pointed to-
ward the opening, But the lid fell
down before she could fire, and some
thing same tumbling down the steps.
Blanca heard the outer door slam as
the men hurriedly took their departure.
She lifted the thing she held In her
hand, 1t was kissing. She ran up
to the top of the steps, pushing open
the lid Of the cellar with her free hand.
1t was a stick of dynamite, and the
fuse was nearly burned down.
She hurried toward the door, tug
ging at the fuse.
She raised the stick of dynamite on
high to fling it from her.
AS her hand went back to her shout
der the explosion happened. The room
was filled with smoke; the walls OF the
cabin tottered stood for moment,
and collapsed inwardly. Where had
been the shack was only a heap of
smoking ruins.
From their hiding place the two con.

ton.

His companion, without answering,
clutched him by the arm and pointed.
An automobile had emerged from
among the trees and was standing be-
side the ruined shack. Someone in it

She reached up her hand and took
the key of the paddock from a lumber
Leontine had failed TO see it in her ex-
element She went swiftly to the back
door, unlocked the paddock, and indi-
Gated to LeOntine to 90.
Leonline looked at Blanca in amaze
ment. She could not understand the
motive which prompted this woman,
who had been her and Rayengars bit
terest enemy. However, she gathered
her wits together and went swiftly out.
Hurry upw shouted Bianca's man,
Joe, from the inner room. I'VE got to
revive this guy and give him the third
degree, and then finish him."
Blanca came quietly back, carrying
bottle which she had picked off the
kitchen shelf.
Blanca kneeled over Ravengar and
applied the contents of the bottle to
his forehead. 1t was white vinegar.
and it answered its purpose effectively.
Ravengar stirred, opened his eyes, and
fixed them on Blanca.
Hush" she whispered, laying her
finger on her lips. Can you under
stand what | am saying to you? If so,
make the least nod"
Ravengar nodded.
Your only chance of life is to make
a dive for the cellar as soon as | open
the trap door. Don't stir till then. You
get my meaningY
Again RaVengar nodded.
Blanca turned toward closet which
was in the room, as if with the inten-
ton Of getting something out of 1t. She
hoped, in fact, to find an AK or some
such weapon. But there was something
in the closet better than an aX-and
also worse. 1t was a shotgun but 1t
would require an appreciate moment
to load it, and that was denied her
Holding the shotgun behind the door,
Blanca leaned forward toward the eel
lar door, reached it. and coolIy opened
1t. At the same instant Ravengar, who
had been watching her, gathered all
his strength and leaped from the bed.
His action was so quick and we'll
devised that the two men were com
pletely taken by surprise. Before they
