They entered the cabin to be greet
ed by the others, who pressing around
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 a 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 Ethel's room opened
and she came silently forth, grave
smile upon her face. Touching her
lips with finger to command the 81
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.
'Ethelv' he cried. Springing up lie
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

ing away from her lover she threw
herself into the old mans arms. "And
all this while we thought you dead"

her. ~" ~
"While as a matter of fact I have
been very much alive through all these
things that have happened. I put
John and Hawk to the test, and the

ever beneath the mountain"
John wrung Carr's hand until tears
of pain streamed down the old miners
cheeks.

Turning quickly from him, Davis
slipped his arm around the waist of
the girl.
'Here is my treasure" he said
smilingly.

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
narrow ledge just beneath the over
hang of the cliff.
"Come down. Hurry!" he called
Obeying. Lowering themselves through
the 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
it should come roaring down. A 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.
SLOW about the gold?" he demand
ed. The Hawk laughed.
'HThe gold is safe enough. Well get
it later. We might as well be getting
away from here"
AS they got into their saddles pre-
paratory to riding away, Morgan,
glancing 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 go
back and look for him. At once they
wheeled their horses and started off
OH 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. gall
Looping up, ran to the door just as the
approaching man leaped from the sad
die. Greatly agitated he called to her.

With a cry Of alarm the girl whirl-
ed and went running into the house.
A moment later she appeared with
Bridget, the girl bearing a rifle and
pistol; the cook a 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
across his brow as he strove to fresh
en- his memory.
ST seem to know you,", he said
slowly, land yet your name" A
smile crossed the face of their savior.

cabin and look after the woman
folks" he interrupted. "As 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 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 wicked oath.
course 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 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-
preach Of the Spiders gang, ran from
the trail and climbed to little ledge
over which a 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
TO shelter. A careful scanning of the
situation convincing the Spider that
an attack from above the ledge might
be successful, he dispatched two men
to make a detour and get above it,
while he and the rest kept up their
fire. One of their bullets, glancing
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

| two engineers joined them, and 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. I 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
one hand, he can watch it. You two
engineers can cover the vine-screened
entrance, and Blackie and l will enter

plan, for it is a good one. / think I
can help in my own way" AS all
agreed they started CT, 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

peared as suddenly as it had come at

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.
h 9Th get you anyway, you traitor"
he cried, as he sent 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 INT 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

explode the mass of death which they
had piled about. Morgan addressed
them.

beat it this way which leads to the
cabin and safety. After it is all over,
we'll come back for the treasure"
One by one the three death fuses
were fired. The Hawk and others,
pausing for a moment at the tunnel
mouth to watch the sparks creep on,
ieered 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 it's way to the dynamite, and re-
CARELESS of burnt flesh pressed his
bonds upon it.
AS the retreating gang was about to
pass around q 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.
init 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 slam
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, q 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 q 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 q quick glance about which took
in her surroundings, she picked it up.
Out Of the mine shaft John, the her
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.
