own heart hurt me,
"oh, nay love! Ny love!" My nus

Katherine interrupted us SHARPLY:
"For heavens sake get out OF here
so / can put some buds on!p
Bob carried me outside OF Rather
inc Miller's door and We kissed again
as,Sye stood near the chimney where
hung the rope ladder! Bob told me,
hurTledly, what had happened; That
silly old airplane Of mine was respon-
sible for the discovery of the outlaws
hiding place.! The search party had
watched it when made my forced
! landing and had sent out scouts 70 TO-
cate It and to rescue the pilot II he
we're living or identity him-a9d bury
him-lf he were dead,
The scouts were Indians and their
sharp eyes had deserted Don Manuel
and Certeis, miles away, as they came
TO the camp from the station. The In
dians trailed the bandit leader, keep
ling themselves concealed. They saw
| Manuel return the salute Of his OUT
posts in the mountain passes. Then
they captured the outposts and pur-
sued Don Manuel, and watched him
disappear in the mountain side!
After that, the descent of MorrisonSS
gang on the camp vas easy, swift and
sure
Bob whispered the story to me with
his arms around as We waited for
Miss Miller. tFromthe big bunk room
came much profanity at intervals.
Each yolley of swearing indicated, Bob
said, the recovery Of another bandit
from the gassing. 1t was a natural
reaction to the ropes he found him
self rolled up in.
"Why were not Katherine and 1
gassed with the othsrs?" asked
"L0oks to me as If this chimney
saved you-it carried the fumes away
from your door"
"Bob," / exclaimed, "Certels is
here! Have you got him? And Don
Manuel! The chief"
Cant say replied Bob, Guess
I'd better find out! You stay in there
with Miss Miller"
Bob was gone q long time. Hisre-
port, when he returned, was:
They're goneI didn't want to get
Certeis-remember he's Chrys' hus-
band-but the chisll Darn the luck!
They escaped because they did not
bunk with the mep-How was TO-
know the leader was a Spanish duke2"
