with their own work to do. Shelby
went at his with quiet efficiency. Sc
lectlng two stout limbs. similar in size
and length, he ran these through the
arms Of his strong corduroy jacket,
binding them into position by two
crOss-pieces, hastily prepared. and
lashed firmly with strips torn from his
neckerchief. Macklin, now once again
silent, and motioness, his eyes closed
was lifted gently onto the outspread
cont, his limbs upheld by one Of the
cross-bars, and then the jacket but.
toned securely about him, forming a
swinging cradle finely adapted for the
purpose. Shelby Strengthened up,
quite himself again.
There, that will answer nicely"
he said confidently. at is bound to be
a hard climb but wen take our time
TO It and rest when we are tired. No
one can see us from below after we
once pass the point yonder."
"Is the trail up hill all the way?"
asked the girl, her eyes searching the
steep face OF the bluff
"Yes, pretty sharp at times, but wen
manage. 1t follows deep cleft
through the rocks, and once found can
not be LOST. I'll take this end; that
will give me the most of the weight,
and you lead the way; take 1t slowly
and you'll be all right"
They picked the litter up between
them, Olga relieved to discover how
lightly, thus distributed. her share of
the burden rested upon her She was
able TO advance easily and pick her
way among the rocks without expert
encing great discomfort The weight
of the mans body came far heavier
upon shelby, but the rest and change
had largely restored his strength and
he felt no doubt Of his ability to sus-
tain this end of the burden Unable
TO see just where he was placing his
feet in the stony path, he stumbled
occasionally, causing the wounded
man 10 groan in some sudden spasm
Of pain; yet It was evident he did not
suffer greatly. The trail they followed
had so impressed itself on his memory
that he recalled every turn clearly and
could call out directions to her in a
low voice.
Turn sharply to the right there we
will have to hold the litter higher to
get by that rock; here is the only
point exposed: once in the shadow Of
those trees the way is completely COW
cred. Yes we can move rapidly
around this point; from now on there
are rocks on both sides. Take II easy,
and II you need TO rest say so."

CHAPTER xII-continued.


"And | have given you Try heart
long ago. Kiss me. Tom"
They sat there, closely pressed to-
gether in that narrow space, scarcely
aware any longer Of the danger at
hand, eager only to hear each others
voice. Above the cracllle of the
flames, and the crashing of falling
timbers, they could distinguish the in
termlttent crack of a rifle, and the
echo Of voices calling. Shelby began
TO dig with one band at the pile Of
earth beside him so as to widen the
space between its summit and the
roof The action caused his mind to
revert to the imminent peril of their
situation.
1T will be all over with before day
light" he said soberly; "and that will
be our chance to get out"
How do you suppose Macllin ever
got through there?" she questioned
wonderinGly.
That's what bothers me. Either
he wasn't hurt much, or he had help.
1t is my notion the girl brought him
out in some way. The shooting was
nm act of sudden anger, for which she
was sorry the very next moment. They
may be hiding there now, somewhere
I'm the tunnel"
She lifted herself up and peered
through the opening; the glare of the
flames did not penetrate beyond the
barrier Of earth and she saw nothing
but impenetrable blackness.
"Shall we go, and see?"
mot yet; we are safer here, until
those devils give up. You can hear
their voices yet out there"
They had no way Of telling time,
and the hours dragged The sound of
firing had entirely ceased, and the
shouts of voices died away one after
the other. Shelby waited patiently,
listening for the slightest sound. but,
at last, could restrain himself no
longer.
81 do not know how late 1t is" he
said finally, "yet it must be nearly
morning. Most of those fellows must
be gone. Shall we try our luck. little

rescue would be delayed.

ayes, senOr."
She came over and knelt beside
Macklin, who was moaning slightly,
his head resting on q pillow made by
Shelby's coat. AS she bent over him
his eyes partially opened, but with 40
light of intelligence in them; they
were dull, lusterless.
"Senor senor," she sobbed, pressing
his hand between both her own, 81 am
going to ride for you"
Some angel of mercy must have put
the words on his lips. for certainly he
knew her not yet faint, fitful, there
came from his lips the cry:
"Pancha | want you, Pancha!"
She must have understood, known,
and yet the comfort of that call was
hers.
She looked at him dry-eyed, notion
less; then bent and kissed his lips.
Slowly. regretfully she arose to her
feet, and faced them, her cheeks
white.

vaneed was great relief, while the
sense of action restored their shat.
tered nerves. They encountered no
further obstruction of any kind, but
suddenly reached a sharp turn to-
ward the left. Shelby felt his pass
age around the corner, aware of the
pressure Of Olga's fingers on his
sleeve, but his eyes could perceive
nothing unusual beyond. Yet, with
his first step forward, he came to a
sudden halt.
"Stny where you are, senor," said
a low voice mot move till l speak"
He caught his breath quickly
scarcely daring TO set down an uplifted
foot. There was no doubt who that
was that spoke out of the darkness.
But / am Shelby" he blurted forth
swiftly. "You have no reason to fear

Then we ought to hear any firing
or shouting without. Everything

now"
He sent the Mexican girl on in ad-
vance, and lifted the unconscious
Macklin upon his back, Olga partially
supporting the helpless body. The
wounded man groaned at the first
movement but lapsed Immediately
into silence again. and Shelby moved
slowly forward with his burden along
the dark, narrow passage. II termi-
mated in a small hole, well protected
by covert of brush, through which
the fellow had to be drawn cautious
ly. Once on the outside, under the
cold CLEAN of the stars, they found
themselves protected by the high
banks of a gully, that turned sharply
to the left, connecting with a deeper
ravine. The three clustered close. and
listened but no sound broke the still
ness. Satisfied they were not OBJ
served, Shelby again picked up the
wounded man, and, with Pancha guild
ing, her figure barely discernible in
the gloom, slowly advanced down the
depression.
1t was hard, slow work. as Shelby
had TO carefully pick his way among
the stones, seeking safe resting place
for each foot. They must move noise
lessly. Their only hope lay in the CON
fidence the Indians felt in their death
within the cabin. If they were as
sured as to this, then they had prob
ably scattered. willing TO wait until
morning to search the debris for their
bodies. But this they couldn't know.
As they turned into the ravine they
obtained a glimpse of the burned
cabin. one wall yet stood, ragged
against the sky. and there was a CLEAN
of red embers. Occasionally a gust
of air sent sparks flying upward and
spirals of black smoke were visible.
No moving forms could be perceived
about the ruins, and ii was eviusQfthe

Huddled closely together in the

The way was a rough one, strewn
with stones, but well protected by
high banks, on either side. Pancha
