operation of the plant. II was decided
to make the inspection tomorrow.
1t Is proposed to make an eye esti-

that the coal in the Masland place will
last for at least five months. The rule
of the national fuel admin stration Is
that only eight weeks supply be kept in
one place
TO settle this disputed point Mr.. Mas
land suggested that the officials view the,
factory's coal supply.
The Masand firm contends that II
doesn't have 5000 tons of coal on hand

for its operation is held. Whether Mr..
Kane would seize the coal at the Mas

A led horse, bearing on it's flank the Bar-E brand, was brought up; the saddle was transferred from the wounded animal to the stolen one; and Morton, his hands bound, was hoisted into the saddle. Olga and her captors having now come up, the entire party turned into the canyon. After sn hour of brisk riding the steadily increasing roughness of the country compelled the bandits to slacken their pace to a walk, at which gait they continued until long after darkness had fallen. At last, when Olga and Morton were reeling in their saddles from exhaus- tion, they entered a small, rock-walled valley, through which ran mountain stream, and the leader of the party, drawing rein, gave a signal to dis mount.
 "We're goin' to stop here until morn in'," he said, approaching his two cap tives. Here's a couple of blankets for you. If you don't try to get away you won't be hurt but if you make a break, God help you"
 Do you think there is any chance of our being rescued?" whispered Olga to Morton, as she tried to wrap her aching body in the blanket.
 "They must have started searching for us when we didn't show up at the ranch for supper" he answered gloom fly, but they won't have any means of knowing which way we have gone."
 "Yes, they will" she whispered. T thought of that and, when we returned up the canyon, dropped my handker- chief on the ground without the ban 1dits noticing"
 Good work" commended Morton.
 
 When supper time at the ranch came and went without the return of Olga and Morton, their host became worried, and when darkness fell and there were still no signs of them, his worry changed to downright alarm. He was, in fact, on the point of ordering out searching party when his fears were confirmed by a cowboy who pulled his reeking pony to it's launches before the ranchhouse door.
 "The feller and the girl that's been stayin' here" he began breathlessly.
 "Yes, yes" interrupted Ellsworth. What about them?"

THIRTEENTH INSTALLMENT

The Bar-E ranch, to which Morton and Olga were carried after their res cue from the wrecked aeroplane, a veritable kingdom of the COW, for up- wards of thirty thousand cattle found pasturage on it's half a million acres, which stretched along the Sierran foot hills for nearly three-score miles. Over this great domain the word of Will liam Ellsworth, it's owner, was law, and his cow-punchers saw to it that the law was obeyed. It was amid such surroundings that Olga and Nor ton, after lingering for several days at the gates of death, came back to consciousness.
 'You have had a mighty close call, young woman," said the doctor whom Ellsworth had summoned from the nearest town, thirty miles away, as he sat one morning at Olga's bedside, ''and 's0- has your friend in the other room. Now the best thing for you to do Is to stay right here until you are in shape again. It's a healthy, quiet life, and you will recover much quicker here than you would in the city. Mir. Ellsworth tells me that you are welcome to stay here as long as you wish.'
 Thus it came about that a month after their accident Olga and Morton were still at the Bar-E ranch. Though impatient to resume their search for the lost formula, they realized that strength and that they could not do better than to accept the doctors ad vice to make haste slowly. They were now sufficiently recovered, however, to

In obedience to his orders, Olga and Morton. with their two guards. pushed on up the hill, while the bandits took shelter behind rocks and trees to check the advance of the men of the Bar-E. Just as the prisoners and their guards reached the overhanging crags which marked the entrance to the pass a splutter of rife fire suddenly broke out below them. The cowboys and the bandits were in action. Morton instinctively checked his horse to lis- ten, but the outlaw named Jose tapped that the Fastener moved forward without a word of protest.
 Leaving the pass, their trail now led across the toughest country that Nor ton had ever seen. Jose turned his horse from the trail and, pushing his way through a screen of underbrush, entered a narrow cleft in what ap- peared, from a little distance, to be a solid wall of rock, to emerge, mo- ment later, in a veritable secret val ley. From the top of one of the cliffs a mountain stream tumbled in a series of cascades and waterfalls to the val ley floor, across which it wound and twisted to disappear subterraneously upon the other side. Beside the stream some tents were pitched and beyond them was an open fireplace over which a man was cooking. Instead of dis mounting at the tents, their guards conducted Olga and Morton straight across the little valley toward the cliff on the opposite side. As they ap- preached, Morton noticed, cut in the face of the cliff, a square aperture which resembled the entrance to a small tunnel or to the gallery of a mine. He guessed, and rightly, that it was the entrance to one of those natural cayerns with which the Sier- ras abound and which the bandit lead CT had utilized as habitation. Jose exchanged a few words in Spanish with q fellow-bandit, evidently a sen try. who was lounging at the entrance and, evidently receiving an answer in the affirmative, flung himself from his horse and strode, with dangling spurs, into the cavern. Ogla and Morton. dejectedly sitting their horses, could hear a murmur of voices within but the words were indistinguishable. Presently Jose reappeared accompan- jed by a man who. the captives in- stantly divined, was the outlaw chief himself. They were in the presence

 up the Costilla canyon" the cow boy answered.
 Its Carrillos gang, right enough" said Ellsworth, land it'll take some hard riding if we are going to catch up with them."
 Half an hour later Ellsworth, fol- lowed by a score of cowboys armed 10 the teeth, was clattering up the val ley toward the mouth of the Costilla canyon. At the head of the canyon, however, the pursuers were compelled to pause, for from this point two trails led into the mountains and, in the darkness, 1t was impossible to tell which of them the bandits and their captives had taken. AS they were discussing the question, one of the cowboys spied something white lying on the ground. It was a woman's handkerchief.
 We're on the right trail, boys, cried Ellsworth.
 
 The first faint light of dawn was gliding the peaks of the Sierras when Olga and Morton were roughly awak ened by their captors and ordered to mount. AS the little cavalcade slowly made its way up the trail, which had now become extremely steep, a rifle shot rang out amid the trees below. A second shot followed and then an- other. Five minutes later one of the bandits who had been acting as rear guard came hurrying up. Around his head was twisted a handkerchief on which was a splotch of crimson.
 "The punchers 1" he gasped. They're right behind us-twenty of 'em!"
 The leader of the band ripped out torrent of oaths. "Jose," he called to one of his men, a half-breed of pc culiarly evil appearance. you and Manuel go ahead with the prisoners. If they try to escape or make any trouble. shoot 'em. The rest of us will hold back the punchers until you've got good start"

of the man whose name was a synonym for courage, coolness, cunning and cruelty from one end of California to the other.
 He swept off his hat at sight of Olga.
 "Welcome to my home, dear lady" he cried. land you too, sir," he added, turning to Morton Tt is not often that I have the honor of entertain ing such distinguished visitors. fear that your journey has been a some what trying one. If you will have the kindness to dismount I shall be de- lighted to place such few comforts as possess at your disposal. With your kind permission, madame" and he bowed to Olga with the utmost gall lantry, T will show you to your room, while you, sir," turning to Morton, twill find the necessities of the toilet in the tent yonder."
 Assisting Olga from her horse, he ushered her through the cavern en- trance into huge chamber, some forty feet square, which, by the lavish use
 
 made not only livable but even home like.
 ''I trust that you will honor my mod est quarters by using them as your own," said the bandit. q regret that have no maid to assist you, but this has been, heretofore, a bachelor estab- lishment. I and my men are, however. at your disposal; you have only to command us. After you have re- freshed yourself trust that you will give me your company at lunch"
 "Now, Carrillo," said Morton bluntly, when they had finished their meal, which was served in the open, "how much is it going to cost me to get my freedom?"
 "The discussion of these sordid de tails is most distasteful to me. Mir. Morton" said the outlaw deprecating- ly, "but, if you insist. why-shall we, say ten thousand dollars?" Nonsense" replied Morton, q haven't that much in cash" But you can get it. Mir. Morton you can get It," said Carrillo, sor your friends can get it for you"

"What is it that you would talk, of then?" she asked softly.
 "Of yourself" he whispered. and bent over her. Closer and closer he bent, his eyes ablaze with emotion. As though reciprocating she put her arm about his neck and drew him down until his head rested upon her breast, while her other hand, drawing from its place of concealment the freshly-whetted knife, crept slowly up- ward up up until the glittering blade was poised above his broadcloth-coyered back. Then, just as he pressed his lips against hers in a burst of exhultation.
