"Then, let's go back and try the 9TH

A gray CLEAN Of light struck the
steps from above, recognized instantly
as a reflection of day, as though some
cover had been uplifted connecting
this underground labyrinth with the
clear sky. A dim shadow touched the
illumined rocks for a brief moment,
moving shadow uncertain in it's out
lines, grOtesQue, shapeless; and then
the daylight vanished as suddenly as
it dawned. The two guards below
came to their feel, rigid in the glow
of the lantern, their faces turned up

the last few steps and joined them.

turning suspiciOusly, but the man had
already seemingly lost interest, and
his head again dropped. She stepped
within.
1t was dingy dark once she had
crossed the threshold, yet enough OF
light flickered in through the doorway
to enable her to perceive the few ar
ticles Of furniture. The room itself
was small one, but contained a
roughly constructed wooden bed, two
stools, and a square table of unplaned
boards. Against the wall in corner
leaned a short-barreled gun, a canvas
bag draped over it's muzzle.
She had no opportunity to observe
more. To her ears there came the
sound of a blow in the room she had
just left, a grOan, the dull thud of a
body striking the floor, accompanied
by a Spanish oath, and a shutting OF
feet. She sprang back into the open
doorway, startled, certain only of some
catastrophe, her fingers gripping hard
on the revolver.

the window. Even as she caught this
movement, too dazed for the instant to
act, the injured man struggled up on
one elbow, and, with all the force he
possessed, hurled the knife straight
at the fleeing figure. 1t flashed through
the air, a savage CLEAN of steel, barely
missing Mendez' shoulder, and buried
itself in a log, quivering from the force
of impact. With a yell of derision, his
hands still bound, the desperate fugi-
tive cast himself head-first through the
opening. Without aim, scarcely aware
of what she did, the girl flung up her
weapon and fred. With revolver yet
smoking she rushed forward to look
without. Rolling over and over on the
ground, his face covered with blood,
Mendez was seeking to round the cor
ner of the cabin, to get beyond range.
Again she pulled the trigger the pow

and binding her. When she could see
once more, he was gone, but men were
leaping out through the door of the
clubhouse, shouting in excitement.
One of these caught sight of her.
and fired, the bullet chugging into the
end of log, so closely it caught a
strand of her hair, but, before another
shot could follow, she had seized the
shutter, and closed the opening, driv-
ing the latch fast with the revolver
butt. She was cool enough now, every
nerve on edge, realizing fully the dam
ger of their position. All the blood of
a fighting race surged through her
veins, and she was conscious of no
fear, only of a wild exultation, a.
strange desire to win. AS she turned

CHAPTER Xii.
A DANGEROUS Prisoner.

He was tall and thin, wearing a
wide cloak about his shoulders, and
high hat with broad brim. Even at
that distance it could be seen that his
long hair was gray, and that heavy
mustache, snOw-white, made more no
ticeable the thin features of his face.
He looked at the two men clos ly,
and his voice easily reached the ears
of the listeners.
''Who posted you here?p
GUAM Cateras, senor," answered
one.

"That then will account for the I'M

planned. "Her eyes as blue as the

"Caramba! this is all pleasant
enough. 1 will pay my respects to
the lady, and there is no time like
the present"
He turned away, thumbing his
mustache, quite pleased with his con-
ceit, but one of the men stopped him
with question.
"We remain here, senorP

smiling, "and if the Senior Cateras
passes, you can tell him that 1 visit

Joy"
The girl drew Cavendish back hur-
'iedly, her mind working in a flash of
inspiration.
Quick" she breathed in his ear.
There is a niche where we can hide
a few yards back. If he follows the
other wall he might pass, and not
notice."
"But he goes to your cell; it's Pas

Mendez came down the black pas
sage evidently in rare good humor,
humming a tune, with one hand
pressed upon the wall to better guide
his movements. The girl stood erect,
the revolver gripped in one hand, the
other pressing back her companion
into the recess. She had lost all sense
of fear in the determination to act
better risk all than surrender with
out a struggle. Mendez fumbled along
the wall. stumbled over some slight
projection and swore; another step,
and his cropping hand would touch
her. He never took the step, but was
whirled against the side wall, with
the cold barrel of a revolver pressed
against his cheek. A stern, sibilant
whisper held him mOtiOnless.

your hands-quick !"

which impressed him.

The girl nodded.
"Mr. Cavendlsh," she said with wom-
anly courage, "you will not find me
wanting. / am ready for anything,
even shooting. do hope you're a good
shot"
Cavendish smiled.
Il have had some experience" he
said
"Then," the girl added, "you had
better take the revolver"
'All right then; I'll go first, and you
follow as close as possible, There
mustn't be the slightest sound made"
Cavendish thrust his head cautious
ly through the door, the revolver
gripped in his hand; Miss Donovan,
struggling to keep her nerves steady,
touched the coat of her companion,
fearful of being alone. The passage
way was dark, except for the little
bars of light streaming out through
the Sits in the stone above the cell
doors. These, however, were sufficient
to convince Cavendish that no guards
were in the immediate neighbOrhOOd.
He felt the grip of the girls fingers on
his coat, and reached back to clasp her
hand.
"All clear" he whispered. "Hurry,
and let's get this door closed"
They advanced slowly, keeping
closely against the wall, and testing
the floor cautiously before venturing
step. A few yards plunged them
into total darkness, and, although
Cavendish had been conducted along
there a prisoner, he retained small
recollection of the nature of the pas.

Their progress was slow but silent,
neither venturing to exchange speech,
but with ears anxiously strained to
catch the least sound. Stella was
conscious of the loud. beating of her
heart, the Slight rasping of Cavendish's
feet on the rock floor. The slightest
noise seemed magnified The grade
rose sharply, until it became almost
a climb, yet the floor had evidently
been leveled, and there were no OBJ
structions to add to the difficulty of
advance. Then the passage swerved
rather sharply to the right, and Cav
endish leading, halted to peer about
the corner. An instant they both re-
manned mOtiOnless, and then, seeing
and hearing nothing, she could re
strain her tmpatience no longer.
"What is it2" she questioned. ais
there something wrOng?"
He reached back and drew her
closer, without answering, until her
eyes also we're able to look around

seemed a long distance up that mar

the light so dim and Pickering as to
scarcely reveal even its immediate
surroundings; yet from that distance,
her eyes accustomed to the dense
gloom, she could distinguish enough to
