others arms, threshed out of thicket
into the open road.
Just how long they struggled is
problematical. They were evenly
matched and fought with the skill 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 contortions
and ever changing postures, Adams
would have been recognized for it was
he. The other mans face was not ex-
posed even to Adams himself. But the
resemblance was to Toxic, who in real
ity it was. He had lost the card,
evaded his guide and returning to the
scene ran squarely into the colonel's
mysterious orderly.
Adams resisted his opponent stub
bornly and valiantly, but by a trick
was finally laid low. The noise of
his fall and the sound Of pistol shot
occurred simultaneously. He lay for
moment stunned. When he strug-
gled to his feet he caught sight of a
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

"A queen?" she emphasized, archly.

"See here!" she dictated. "I have

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

Bertha laughed and turned to Toxic
who had been listening to their con-

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

Do not let him fool you. 1 can tell you
all-and will-soon.
An hour later Toxic and q 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-
kos pony in leash. Toxic rode awk-
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, bulky looking individual
on powerful horse suddenly appear

quickly cut Toko's thongs, removed
his blindfold and released the pony as

Of blood red sun emerged upon the

approach Of a new day.

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 band Of
armed Granadians swooping down up
| on them. She realized her mistake
Immediately. But 1t 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 hori-
zon with anxious eyes. His express
sion Of alarm instantly changed to an
almost boylsh 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

| He waved his hat, yelled, mounted
to an elevation and vainly endeavored
to attract the flyers attention.
The bird-man had located the raid
ers. Aware only that he had discov-

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 helter-skelter,
some toppling. Here and there both
horses and men were stricken down by
the flying death. In twinkliag those
escaping had fled the spot.

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 n 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 Off.
Hnd 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 a remarkable sight. For short

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
hoor near her feet wet black muller
lay. She picked 1t up-recognizing it
as the one used on such occasions by
the Silent Menace. Then she caught
sight OF her companion's face.
