We must get to the bottom of this,
Shall we go on In your car. rs we we're
going. and trace the mystery. step by
step, along the road by which this
cart has come? Have you no plan?'
asked the Marchese impatiently. 1--WE
must do something"
"Tve a thOught-nOt a plan. Did
you notice anything peculiar about the
gray leader2"
'Only that he's an unusually good
horse to draw a market-cart. He's
got blood In him."
THAT'S what l meant. He's almost as
mysterious as everything else about
the cart. more like a riding horse than
a cart horse-sOmebody's favorite.
Well, he'll lead the others-and the
cart-back to where he came from
back to where that somebody is wait
ing for him."
Good! !" said the Marchese, thrilling
ut the thought of the danger, the mys-
terry, ahead. Good! But the car"
"Well tow her, lights out, behind the
cart, so that she may make no noise.
You shall sit in her to steer and put
on the brake if necessary. I'll lie low
in the cart, ready for anything with
my revolver"
"We may be going into a den of
thieves and assassinS" said Baria,
cheering up as he prepared to change
places with Race.
IF So" said Christopher, trailing the
ray Of his lantern along the canvas
cover of the cart, ut may not be long
before we get there. Look! here's
the name Of the Owner-or al
legged owner-Ravelli; Valegio. Va
legio's that village, you remember,
whose lights we saw %twinkling far
above us about half an hour ago as
we came down the pass"
Christopher, lying among the egg
boxes, the reins held loosely in his
hand, his revolver ready, let the gray
leader go ut his own pace and in his
own way.
Soon, as he had prophesied, the gray
horse turned without hesitation at u
rough branch road. leading steeply up
hill. Far above hung the lights o.
high Valegio, like a thin crescent made
of yellow stars. But the cart was still
a long distance below the level of the
mountain village when the gray
horse abruptly took another turn.
Confidently he walked through an
open gateway, yawning black in Il
rough stone wall. And in the dark
ness Race was aware that a man had

TEMPERATURE AND TEMPER.

Here Is a good old story that some
body has taken the trouble to dress up
In khaki-or hospital blue:

car, and out came Q strong whit Of
chloroform, which was a relief to their
fearsrsince 1t Is not necessary to drug
the dead. Reaching In. Christopher
took the limp form in his strong arms.
Baria snatched up a leather dispatch
cas- or the floor and shut the door as
noiselessly as he had opened 1t. Then
each Of the young men supported the
girl, taking her between them; and
the darkness Of the night favored their
quickly carried out maneuver.
The door Of Christopher's car stood
open. They flung the dispatch-box in,

bolted 1t, pre-. enting his appearance
They were now all inside the lighted
room, a big farm kitchen with white
washed walls. and only n other door
besides the door of exit.
Christopher and Baria saw them
selves at the mercy Of five young men,
all tall and brOad-shOuldered beyond
the common. and not one beyond the
age of thirty. The woman stood before
the door she had just locked, pale and
trembling.
Are you going to kill themT" she
asked.
I'VE are going to execute them"
answered the Oldest OF the five men,
whose age could not have been much
beyond thirty. "What else? They are
spies, and worse" Then, having quiet
ed the glrl-his young wife, perhaps
in her native tongue, he had begun to
speak again In his own language to
his brothers, when Baria interrupted,
In Italian.
"YOu had better make sure first that
we are spies. My friend can speak
only French and English. He Is an
Englishman, from London I, half Eng
lish, half Italian. His name is Chris
TOPPER Race; l am Lorenzo Arnese,
Marchese Baria, of Venice. We came
here as avengers, not as spies. II
you miss any friends of yours from the
cart you had better question us. Then,
if we see reason to think you as in
noccnt as we are, we will answer. And,
meanwhile, If you doubt our identity,
we have papers as well as an automO-
bile to prove it."
His impudence was impressive. The
men consulted together, asked a few
questions, and got dramatic answers,
with Il description Of the meeting Of
cart and car on the road, and what
mad been found under the canvas
cover. AS he finished Baria showed
the glove and ring, and at the sight Of
them the tide of angry suspicion
turned against him and his friend
again, until Christopher whipped out
the knife which had held the reins fast.
"Tell them where we found it, and
why we came here" he said to Baria.
The men, still guarding their pris-
oners, but no longer wholly antago-
nistic, looked at the knife.
ut Is Russian" commented the eld-
est in a low voice to his comrades.
That one word Russian" spoken In
Italian, was a clue instantly seized by
both Race and Baria. The language
which they had not been able to COM
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-06-28

prehend was Russian. These mems
features were Russian.
"Why did you come to us?" the last
speaker asked, in Italian; and Baria,
prompted now and then by Chris.
TOPPER, explained with perfect frank
ness. "We wanted to know who had
plotted the murder-if murder has
been done-and we thought the quick
est way to find out was to travel with
the cart. But 1t seems that you sus-
pect US, as We suspected yOu."
"If there has been murder, there is
not one of us who would not die to
avenge it," said the eldest of the young
men.
1--WE should like to be with you in
that" said Baria.
IF they have injured her. they shall
pay for 1t sooner or later" exclaimed
another.
"Say to them that, with our motor,
we might help them to pay sooner"
cut In Christopher.
Baria said it. And the mems faces.
fiercely set a few moments ago, sof-
tened to a friendliness that was almost
guileless.
"YOu are brave men. We are sorry
that we threatened you." he said to
Baria. "Your friend understands Ital-
ian, though he does not talk it. We
speak the language, for we are Italians
by birth, every n Of us except me,
the eldest; but when we have private
things to say, we use the tongue of
our parents-Russian."
"WhO Is called Ravelli here, If you
are of Russian parentage?" Baria in
CURED.
"We are known as the brothers Ra-
velli. Our father married an Italian
woTa of that name when our mother
