tent next door caught fire, the wind
blew the cinders about, and they fell
on other shacks, and the devouring
terror spread rapidly to the south
ward. famed by the brisk wind
southwark to the guncotton factory.
The bright glare of the burning
town lighted up the figure OF a limp
ing traveller, who stopped now and
then TO gaze back at it with a grunt
of satisfaction.
Harrison Grant and the captain
abandoned their crossexamination in
the greater need Of helping fight the
FIRE that had broken out in HopeweIl.
II took no trained mind TO grasp the
peril that threatened the town. All
its little population was out and hght-
ing, but they were powerless. The
elements were fighting against them,
and the lack Of proper IRE protection.
Minna the maid was handcuffed and
turned over to an officer, while Grant
hurried away with the captain.
Where is the powder house," he
shouted at him above the rising con-
fusion, and the captain called back:
The nearest ones at the quarry"
Good, take me to it."
Grant could see that Hopewen was
doomed. The flames leaped onward
frightened mobs fought at the banks
to recover their savings. looters ap-
peared, and added their terror to that
OF the flames as they rushed on to
what seemed the inevitable doom OF
the thing that had given Hopewen
its life-the guncotton plant
Grants Plan TO Save Factory.
Grant racing toward the powder
house with a growing army OF men
following him. shouted orders as he
went. He had reached the door and
unlocked it. Appointing several men
hastily to accompany him he rushed
in.
Get the dynamite and detonators,"
he ordered.
With quick precision the men leap
ed TO obey him. and then followed
him back again 10 the scene of con-
migration. The flames were gaining
swift Roadway. Lives had been lost
where people in frantic endeavor to
save their few possessions had
braved the fiery terror

part

ed, dashing among them as they
struggled TO obey his orders.

The fire is catching up to US. How's

Above the roar OF the steadily ap-
preaching flames the answer came
back.

about this gun"
Dollings drove the car into Hone
well with Dixie Mason holding the re,
volver. Circling through the IRE
devastated city, they reached the
group Of cheering men Just as the
ditch had been blown up that saved
the guncotton plant.
Above the roar OF the men Harrf
son Grant heard a shrin little voice
that made his heart backfire for an
instant.
"oh. Harrison Grant!" He turned
and looked up into the glad eyes OF
Dixie Mason. See what I've brought
you.' she said. pointing at the cring-
ing figure OF the now completely cow
ed Dollings.
Grant walked up to the car with a
smile at Dixie. Dollings drew back
with snarl OF hatred as Grant
touched him on the shoulder,

would not have been in vain"

frantic citizens.

part OF the distance. The car had

full conclusion, her heart sank at the
sound Of a whistlinE rush OF ar from
the rear wheel
Dixie Mason Captures DOIlInEs.
At the sound OF cracking in the
bushes Dixie turned apprehensively.
The haggard figure OF a man which
dragged itself into a road was one
to inspire horror. He stared wildly
for a moment and then lurched for
ward toward her. Dixie instructive
~ reached for the heavy wrench for
protection but he shook his head.
II won't hurt you" he called hoarse-
ly. I'm in trouble. I want you to
take me to Richmond. little girl"
Dixie shook her head. I'm not
going to Richmond"
But you can" His voice rose in the
intensity OF his plea. "A hundred dol
lars II you Will ktA lhCTN- Gan
wait for trains. I'll raise the price.
A hundred and fifty II you'll get me
there"
Dixie leaned over and stared at him
for a moment by the glow OF the su-
tomobile lights. Surely she had seen
this man before, despite the haggard
appearance, the roughness. the dirt
and CRIME and blood-stained band
ages. Was this Dollings, the sancti-
monious undertaken of Exeter? A
recognition of him lighted her eyes
for a moment.
Dixie turned to the machine.
II can't hurry-and put this tire on
too"
Then you'll take me to Richmond"
"If you can help me get this tire
on"
IT can't help much, but can hold
the tire for you"
Dixie nodded. She rolled out the
extra tire and the work progressed.
Now and then Dixie reached in her
pocket, and one less intent on the
work in hand would have caught the
sound OF a racheted surface being
opened. But Dollings' senses dulled
by pain and anxiety did not notice.
The tire was on the wheel. Dixie
rolled out the old tire to place 1t in
position and gave 1t to Dollings to
hold. He leaned on II, his gaze
turned up the road toward the burn ,
ing town. Dixie gazed up toward the
rising column OF smoke and sparks, !
too. and thought of the destruction |
and suffering and sorrow 1t meant |
Then very quietly she crept forward |
toward Dollings. His hands rested |
close together on the tire. He was |
not noticing her. She leaned over the |
tire and with a sharp snap slipped |
the handouts about his wrists. |
Dollings sprang at her with q snarl,
but faced the stseling glitter OF a
revolver.

chiner" she ordered tersely.
He hesitated- go on" she urged,
