haggard and worn and weary to the
point of exhaustion, but as soon as he
had been assured of the safety of the

The testimony of the Dead

The Testimony of the Dead.
Just as Helen Illingworth and Win
tiers reached the lower level at the foo
of the mesa, they were joined by Rod
ney.

gineer.
Winters answered as the three bpr
ried along without stopping:

"Was that he?"

1.-THE second blast was slow in going
Off" said Winters; "he went back to
look at it, and got knocked over. 1t
looked pretty bad from the top of the
mesa"
Rodney would not have been human
If he had not felt leap in his breast
at the possibility, but he was too loyal
a friend and too genuinely fond Of
Meade for more than a passing emo
ton, for which he was more than q
little ashamed.
"Let us press on" he urged.
In a few moments they stopped by
the three men. Meade was still I'M
conscious. The big Irishman sat on
the grass with the engineers head on
his knee. The deft-fingered little Ital-
ian was trying to wash the blood away
from the unconscious mans forehead
with a sodden, ragged piece Of cloth.
Meade was unconscious, he was breath
ing heavily. There was a catch in his
respiration. His breath came at irreg-
ular intervals and was labOred as if
painful.
A huge rock had struck him in the
breast. The two men had torn open
his shirt and undershirt. The engi-
neer's chest was bruised and bloody.
Evidently bones had been broken, and
probably serious internal injuries had
resulted. Every breath was an appar-
ent agony, and that the exquisite pain
did not arouse him to consciousness
was evidence Of the terrible nature Of
the injury. A smaller, sharper rock
had cut him across the forehead and
cheek, just missing his right eye. and
they found out afterward that he had
been struck by several other pieces
.dislOdged by the explosion, and that
his body was covered with bruises.
But there was nothing, not even in
the cut ON the forehead, to cause any
great alarm had it not been for the
