CHAPTER XIII.
The Fuaitives.

He led the way, finding little difn-
Guilty in crawling over the mound OF

cool darkness into which they ad-
yanced was a great relief, while the
sense of action restored their shat
tered nerves. They encountered no
further obstruction of any kind, put

ward the left. Shelby felt his pass
age around the corner, aware OF the
pressure of Olga's fingers on MS
sleeve. but his eyes could perceive
nothing unusual beyond. Yet, WIN
his first step forward, he came to
sudden halt.
"Stay where, you are, senor," SAID
a low voice, mot a move till speak.
He caught his breath quickly,
scarcely daring to set down an uplitteu
foot There was no doubt who that
was that spoke out of the darkness.
'But I am Shelby" he blurted fortn
swiftly. "You have no reason to rear
me-"
"Shelbyl How you come here? You
found the trap? And-and is she with
you?"
.Yes senorita, An accident re-
yealed to us a way out. 1t was you'

not killed."
A moment there was silence; then

Then we ought to hear any firing
or shouting without. Everything
seems quiet. Let's make the effort
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. 1t terml-
mated In a small hole, well protected
by a 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 deeper
ravine. The three clustered close, and
listened, but no sound broke the still
ness. Satisfied they were not oo-
served, Shelby again picked up the
wounded man, and, with Pamela guild
ing, her figure barely discernible In
the gloom, slowly advanced down the
depression.
1t was hard, Flow work, as Shelby
had to carefully pick his way among
the stones, seeking a safe resting place
for each foot They must move noise
lessly. Their only hope lay in the con-
fdence 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

obtained a glimpse Of the burned

of red embers. Occasionally gust
of air sent sparks flying upward and
spirals of black smoke were visible.
No moving forms could be perceived
about the ruins, and it was evident the
spot was still in a condition to render
exploration impossible.
Huddled closely together in the
shelter of the rocks the fugitiyes
stared across the open space at the
red CLEAN. The Mexican girl had
lifted herself upon projecting stone,
and was searching the shadows with
keen eyes.
"Where do we go% Shelby ques-

no other safe place."

He paused suddenly. what kind Of a

"He tall, scrawny, red whiskers."
"Then l got him; plugged the fellow
through the arm. He won't want any
more for awhile. Come, let's move
on" he added impatiently. TITS do

at that fire, and it is no light load

The way was a rough one, strewn
with stones, but well protected by
high banks, on either side. Pancha
seemingly knew every inch Of it, for
she advanced confidently, selecting the

of the cleft, where it terminated at
the bank Of the creek.
The light from the slowly CRAVING
sky overhead scarcely penetrated the
depths of the ra7ine, and to the bur
den of carrying Che heavy body of
Macklln was added the WEAKNESS of
the frequent stumbling over the stones
with which the path was strewn. Olga,

threatened every moment to overcome
her, bore her share Of the burden with

Bone Dry Law Likely Tested
 By Higher Court

Sooner or later the United States supreme court will be asked to pass upon the cOnsti nationality of the Alaska bone dry law. It will be claimed that that the federal VolStea act su- percedeS the Territorial Alaska bone dry law.
 It is possible that, growing out of the recent raids on Gas tinue channel, the first atlacl: may be made against the Alas Sa bone dry law in the district court
 In liquor case brought be fore him Judge Robert w. Jen, nings, who recently was sue ceeded by Judge Thomas N. Reed. Jennings decided that the Alaska bone dry law was constitutional. An appeal was taken to the circuit court & tee circuit court upheld the opinion by two of the judgesconfirm- ing and the other judge dis, >enting Judge Ross, in mi nOrlty report, held that the Vol stead act superseded the terri. lOrial act.
 No appeal was taken to the court.
 The Alaska bone dry law is more strict than the federal act. and does not permit any kind of home brew. In this respect. as we'll as in some others, it is said to be in conflict to the federal act. Juneau attorn. eys are digging into the quest ion and preliminary skirmishex lave already taken place.

million bushels of wheat have been

which stands on the basic principle
that it shall market 100 per cent OF

This is the organization which IN

resulted in formation of the U. S.

for optional pooling.
