They peered around n projecting

busily at work at the far end of the
cave. Sneaking inside very quietly
they arrived ut the spot where Ethel
lay bound. and cutting her fetters
John lifted her In his arms and bore
her into the tunnel. There, embracing
her, he spoke softly:
"Wait for me. l am going back

he had reached the Irish woman. She
whispered to him.
BE aisy. They're up to some dirty
wurruck, AIisther 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 q second blow when
the weapon of Davis flashed.

he cried. as he sent bullet through

was upon him. The desperate battle
which followed ragged from wall to

lone man was pulled down, bound and
laid next to Bridget.
By Morgan's direction the men be-

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
of the three fuses would ignite and
explode the mass of death which they
had piled about. Morgan addressed
them.

of rock loosened by the explosion. and
they turned their eyes down into the

Imprisoned in the sliding house
which they knew must in a moment

and be smashed into matchwood on the
rocks at the bottom of the canyon,
John and Rainface clung 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 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.
