EPISODE IS
FATE'S VERDICT

Imprisoned in the sliding house
which they knew must in a moment
more topple from the verge of the cliff
and be smashed into matchwood on the
rocks at the bottom of the canyon
John and Rainface chung to whatever
object was handiest. When the shack
was momentarily checked at the brink
by the stump, and while the Spider
was creeping forward to fasten the
rope around the obstruction that it
might be jerked away and the building
permitted to fall, the pair within seized
the brief moment of respite to tear
one of the loosely fastened planks from
the floor.
AS they made the opening they heard
their names called from below and
glanced down. But a short distance
below they saw the upturned face of
the old hermit who was standing upon
a narrow ledge just beneath the over
hang of the cliff.
"COme down. Hurry!' he called
seftly, and the pair lost no time in
Obeying. Lowering themselves through
dhe opening made by the removed
board they dropped to the ledge, be-
ing caught as they fell by the one who
stood below. Safe once more, they
crowded themselves against the face
of the cliff to escape, if possible, be-
ing dashed into the depths by the
structure just above their heads when
Ht chouId como roor;nu down mo-
ment later it swept by them, brushing
their bodies in it's descent.
From the lip of the cliff the Spider
pointed down into the depths at the
splintered remnants of what once had
been the shack. Then he turned to
Morgan.
"How about the gold?" he demand
ed. The Hawk laughed.
'The gold is safe enough. Wen get
1t later. We might as well be getting
away from here"
AS they got into their saddles pre-
paratory to riding away, Morgan
CHANGING over his men, noticed the alb
sence of the assayer. Not wishing the
inmates of the home house alarmed
as yet, he decided that they should &c
back and look for him. At once they
wheeled their horses and started of
on a lope.
Their pursuit was fruitless. The
man of whom they were in search, hav'
ing become suspicious of the gang
through the inadvertent remark OF
Morgan, had taken advantage of their
excitement in the battle about the
house and mounting his horse sour
ried back in the direction of the main
cabin. Ethel, hearing him come gal
loping up, ran to the door just as the
approaching man leaped from the sad
die. Greatly agitated he called to her
They've got Mr. Davis trapped in 8

They entered the cabin to be greet
them eagerly inquired for news of the
missing girl. Too heartbroken TO
speak, Davis indicated by a gesture
of hopelessness that she was lost;
then seating himself in chair he
closed his eyes as his chin fell heav-
lily upon his breast. Mortified and also
deeply sympathetic the others drew
silently away from the suffering one.
The door of Ethers room opened
and she came silently forth. a grave
smile upon her face. Touching her
lips with finger to command the ST.
lence of the astonished party, she
crept noiselessly up behind the silent
ly suffering one and covered his eyes
with her hands. And beneath that
well-known touch Johns heart first
stopped, then leaped like bounded
rubber ball.
ETHEL" he cried. Springing up he
folded her in his arms.
The girl, presently lifting her head
from his shoulder, saw the hermit.
stared at him, then uttered a glad cry.
Daddy! It's Daddy Carr!' Break
ing away from her lover she threw
herself into the old mans arms. "And
all this while we thought you dead"
The ex-hermit beamed down upon
her.
'While as matter of fact I have
been very much alive through all these
things that have happened. / put
John and Hawk to the test, and the
right one is here alive and safe. The
other, with his crimes, is buried for
ever beneath the mountain"
John wrung Carr's hand until tears
of pain streamed down the old miners
cheeks.
$50 it was you who was helping us
all the time!" Managing to release
his half-crushed fingers, the prOspec-
tor laid them fondly upon the young
mans shoulder.
"Yes, my boy, and now Wen work
the mine as planned. The poor shall
benefit. There is treasure enough for
all, and as for you, john"
Turning quickly from him, Davis
slipped his arm around the waist of
the girl.
"Here is my treasure" he said
smilingly.

his help would be accepted, than the
two engineers Joined them, and a coun-
Gil of war was at once called. John
spoke.
"Of course the first thing to do is
to get Ethel and Bridget out of their
clutches. / have barricaded the mine
entrance through the tunnel yonder,
and as they have left the assayer be-
hind and he seems to be able TO use

plan, for it is a good one. / think |
can help in my own way" AS all
agreed they started off, leaving the
hermit, Rainface and the asSayer, who
was now slowly approaching, behind.
John and Blackie reached the top
Of the rock overlooking the ledge
which gave entrance to the mine.
Making a rope fast they began the de-
scent, Davis first, the other man fol-
lowing him. AS the latter landed the
Spiders face, unseen by John, APP
peared at the entrance, but disap-
peared as suddenly as it had come at
gesture from his confederate. Ar
rived upon the ledge they pursued
their way along it, Blackie now in adj
vance.
They peered around a projecting
rock and caught sight of the villains
busily at work at the far end of the
cave. Sneaking inside very quietly
they arrived at the spot where Ethel
lay bound and cutting her letters
John lifted her in his arms and bore
her into the tunnel. There, embracing
her, he spoke softly:
"Wait for me. i am going back
after Bridget" A moment later and
he had reached the Irish woman. She
whispered to him.
"Be aisy. They're up to some dirty
wurruck, Misther john"
At that instant the gun butt of the
treacherous Blackie falling upon the
head of the bending man, he dropped
heavily to the floor. In an instant he
was upon his feet, his revolver in his
hand. The traitor was already in the
act of delivering a second blow when
the weapon of Davis flashed.
It'll get you anyway, you traitor,
he cried, as he sent a bullet through
the would-be assassin's body. But be-
fore he could repeat the shot the gang
was upon him. The desperate battle
which followed ragged from wall to
wall of the cave, but eventually the
lone man was pulled down, bound and
laid next to Bridget.
By Morgan's direction the men be-
gan bringing boxes of explosives, dy-
Mantle cartridges and TINT with
long fuses, which they piled up be-
tween John and the tunnel through
! which he had come Next, they ran
three lines of fuse to the pile, one
along the ground, another along the
wall about waist high, and the third
as high as they could reach. Either
of the three fuses would ignite and
explode the mass of death which they
had piled about. Morgan addressed
j them.

beat it this way which leads to the
cabin and safety. After it is all over,
we'l come back for the treasure"
One by one the three death fuses
pausing for moment at the tunnel
mouth to watch the sparks creep on,
jeered the two bound victims whom
they were leaving behind to be blown
TO atoms. With a final curse upon
them, Morgan led his companions
through the tunnel toward the house.
AS they started, John rolling over and
over, held his wrists to the streak of
fire that was creeping along the floor
on its way to the dynamite, and re-
gardless of burnt flesh pressed his
bonds upon it.
As the retreating gang was about to
pass around bend in the tunnel
which would afford them safety from
the forthcoming blast, door in the
roof flew open, and throwing their
eyes upward they saw themselves
covered by four heavy revolvers, two
in the hands each of the hermit and
Rainface. With death from the black
muzzles staring them in the face and
the rapidly burning fuses at their
backs, they threw up their hands with
wild cries for mercy. Grimly the her
NIT called to John, who with his
bonds burned through now sprang to
his feet.
"Pass up that woman-quick."
Raising Bridget in his arms Davis
showed her through the trap, an in
slant later following her and SIAM
ming the door shut.
With their only hope lying in ex-
tinguishing the racing fuses, the out
laws rushed madly back; stamping,
tearing at the walls, impeding each
others efforts, fighting savagely
among themselves.
Ethel, having regained the ledge,
heard the wild yells of the impris-
oned outlaws and paused in wonder
ment. AS she did so there was roar
that shook the mountain to it's founda-
ton, binding flash and stream OF
fire and smoke that shot from the
opening and far out across the val
ley. In it's midst she saw the body OF
the Spider spinning in the air and
with O shudder watched it as it made
it's flight to the jagged rocks far be-
low. The next instant some object
fell at her feet, and with little cry
of fright she sprang back. 1t was a
rope blown there by the blast, and
with quick glance about which took
in her surroundings, she picked 1t up

nit, Bridget and Rainface emerged to
be greeted by the assayer and the
engineers. Davis rushed eagerly for
ward.
"Where is Ethel?" he demanded AS
none answered, he pushed them aside
and went hurrying away.
''Then she must be where | left her
on the ledge" Running to the spot,
he found the rope which he and
Blackie had used still hanging there,
and descended, followed by Rainface,
who had closely pursued him. There
they tried the entrance, but it was
blocked forever by the huge masses
of rock loosened by the explosion, and
they turned their eyes down into the
valley. Far below upon the rocks they
made out the broken remains of what
once had been the Spider.
Plunged into the depths of despair,
the pair slowly pursued their home
ward way.

house and are trying to shove it over
the cliff"
With cry of alarm the girl whirl-
ed and went running into the house.
A moment later she appeared with
Bridget, the girl bearing rifle and
pistol; the cook double-barreled saw
ed-Off shotgun. Calling to the man
that they could make better time over
the ridge on foot, he turned his horse
loose and fell in at their sides. Run
ming as fast as they could they mount
ed the trail.
As the house went laundering down
into space, John turned to the hermit
and thrust out his hand.
''We have to thank you for our lives,
sir. | had thought that you were the
author of all this deviltry, but it seems
was grievously mistaken" Grimly
the Indian smiled.
"No. Him good man. Morgan and
Spider-they all devil"
Keenly Davis surveyed their res
cuer up and down, running his hand
en- his memory.
ST seem to know you," he said
slowly, land yet your name" A
smile crossed the face of their savior.
81 think we had best go back to the
cabin and look after the woman
folks" he interrupted. GAS for my
name, there is time enough for that"
Thought of possible danger to Ethel
spurred Davis into instant acquies-
cence.
AS they emerged from the valley
near the cabin, a low exclamation
from the hermit caused them to look
back. Morgan and his gang were al
ready in sight and headed for them,
and at once they broke into a, run.
Dashing into the cabin, John called
loudly for Ethel but no reply came,
and a quick search revealed the emp
tineSs of the house. Hastily barring
the doors they made ready for the at
tack which they knew would soon fol-
low.
Morgan at sight of the assayer's
horse and the running three, turned
to the Spider with a wicked oath.
"Curse them, they have gotten
away again. 1t surely beats me. And
that fool assayer has joined them.
Take half the men and ride back. We
may bag something" The Spider
with a command to a number of the
miners, went riding away at their
head, while the Hawk and his party
dismounted. Taking advantage of
whatever shelter they could find they
opened fire upon the house.
Ethel and her party hearing the ap-
proach of the Spiders gang, ran from
the trail and climbed to little ledge
over which brow of the cliff dropped.
AS the approaching party opened fire
upon them, they threw themselves fiat
upon the rock and returned it, and the
aSsailants, seeing the impOssibility of
rushing the place, scattered and took

situation convincing the Spider that
an attack from above the ledge might
be successful, he dispatched two men
TO make detour and get above it,
while he and the rest kept up their
fire. One of their bullets, CHANGING
from a rock, pierced the assayer's
arm and his weapon dropped. In an
instant the Irish woman had dropped
her formidable gun, seized the wound

eel man and dragged him into recess
where she began bandaging it.
The girl, her ammunition exhausted.
turned into the niche where her com
paniOnS were in order to secure an
other weapon. As she did so, one of
the men whom the Spider had COM
missioned for the attack from above,
dropped upon the shelf before them.
Before he could regain his poise.
Bridget with wild Celtic war cry,
was upon him. Locking her mighty
arms about his waist she hurled him
bodily over the edge, watching him as
he went crashing down. When he was
no longer to be seen, she faced about
and saw her sawed-off gun where she
had dropped it when the assayer had
been hit. Slowly she picked it up.
"Bedad. 1 clane forgot it, she
muttered.
But her moment of triumph was
short lived. Even as she spoke a Sec
ond form dropped heavily upon her
head and she fell stunned upon the
ledge, and before the girl could reload
her weapon the outlaw had disarmed
her. Covering the wounded man, their
captOr uttered a triumphant yell, and
at that signal the Spider and his fol-
lowers came swarming over the ledge.
Quickly the three prisoners were
bound, after which they were marched
back along the ridge at the muzzles
of their captOrs' weapons.
Brought before Morgan, the cap
tives were ordered to halt. The Hawk
turned to the girl.
Its open war from now on. If
you viii join my side I'll marry you
after l get rid of that cursed Davis.
II not - His further remarks were
cut short by a volley from above.
From the sawmil where they had
been inspecting the machinery, the
two engineers had heard the shots and
rushed out. A glance at the group
below enlightened them as to the real
situation, and without hesitation they
opened fire upon the outlaw gang.
Back out of range darted the Hawk,
dragging EIDol alter Illll. NOlCC
arose in sharp command.
'To the mine, everybody. We have
cot the woman, and they will have to
come to our terms" As they started
away Blackie approached him and
whispered in his ear, and with ges-
ture of assent Morgan summoned the
Spider before them.
'.All right" he returned. "But don't
involve the woman. / can use her"
AS the party started toward the
mine, Blackie, who had Jagged behind,
turned his back upon them and broke
into a wild run toward the cabin, wav-
ing his handkerchief on high as he
/ leaped from rock to rock and with
Morgan and the Spider sending their
bullets about him as closely as they
dared without danger of doing him
harm. The party within the cabin
seeing this play and believing that the
approaching man was endeavoring TO
escape, threw open the door and adj
mitted him into their midst. Breath
lessly the new arrival sank upon a
chair.
"Ihey are going into the mine with
the woman. | won't stand for that
rough stuff. If you viii have me
