in response to the guards summons.

the guard, land I'm not liking the idea
of staying here overtime"
After considering the matter for a
moment the warden decided.
"You can GO" he said to the guard,
land I'll look In once In while until
the relief comes" so saying, the two
officials departed, locking the door be-

her company.
There was a hurried meeting of the
Apaches in the House of Mystery
when Pats men returned from their
trip to the federal prison. The report
of the scouts was eagerly listened to.
"She is confined in the wing that
faces onto the side street. Three win
dows open into the corridor, and our
electric saw will go through the bars
in ten minutes. We can have her out
of there, II luck breaks for us, before
midnight" said one of the Apaches,
who had followed Pat to the Jail.

the jail, and began their work.
Running the wagon close under the
wall Of the prison, the poorly lighted
and practically deserted street gave
an opportunity for the Apaches to use

which Pat was now excitedly waiting
for her rescuers. When the Apaches
began saving the bars of the window,
far above her head, Pat knew what
1t meant.
Having worked their way through
the bars, the Apaches lowered a rope,
which Pat tied under her arms. In a
twinkling the girl was hauled up to
the window and was dragged through

patrol wagon, going out of the prison
yard In answer to a call, dashed
around the corner and nearly collidet
with the rescue wagon.
There was started in q twinkling 9
mad scramble and wild fight between
the Apaches and the police. The up
roar was bound to attract attention
and Pat knew that she must make hel

chance of being again in the tolls. Sht

men and started to run.

cab fitted into her purpose. Hailin
