track him down. The conviction haunted him.
 He drew back just in time. There was the sharp crack of rife; bul- let clipped the outer edge of the para pet, and little puff of smoke curled up away to the left and vanished against the leaden sky. Shelby fell flat on his face and crept backward. seeking instinctively the protection of an overhanging rock, his eyes instant ly marking that vague spiral of smoke. He had guessed right. Indian cunning had already learned the truth and had found means of approach unknown even to the Mexican girl. Somewhere in the security of those rocks, keen eyes were watching every movement, savagely eager to end all by some we'll directed shot. Yet, with the chug of the bullet all depression left him. He knew now what he had to face; that narrow platform must be defended. for hours probably, revolvers pitted against rifles; himself alone against an unknown number of assailauts. It

meant caution as well as bravery, the quick wit of a white man outgeneral- ing savage treachery. Even as he rolled over, so as to cautiously lift his head, the "45" was jerked from it's holster and rested ready in his hand. He heard Olga at the cave entrance.
 Stay backp p' he ordered sternly. Don't venture out here yet"
 'sBut what is it? I heard a shot"
 '.Yes; they have found LIS all right. Hand me another gun: may need it. Did Macklin have one?'
 ''Yes; it is still at his belt"
 "Get 1t, and with whatever cart ridges he may have. This is going to be fight at short range How is the fellow?"
 TT am sure he must be dying. Tom," she said breathlessly. He scarcely breathes any more. Isn't there any way I can help?"
 "Only by doing what I asked; get his gun. This is bound to be some fight. I don't know how many are out there; the bird who shot at me is be- hind that rock wonder; he's Indian all right; you can glimpse his scalplock just over the edge. If he would only shove his nut up about half an inch more I'd show him that '45' ain't such bad weapon, when you know how to use it.'
 He advanced, his revolver barrel across the top, and lay motionless, sighting along the smooth steel.
 Now, boy, you do that again. Cant make out exactly where have gone, can you? Well, you are going to find out in about minute" His grip frightened. "Ah! there you are''
 His finger pressed the trigger, send ing forth squirt of flame. brawny red arm was flung up, the hand grip ping at the rock for support; then a rife went crashing down into the chasm and the next instant an Indian striking narrow ledge and bouncing off into space. Three shots answered the crack of the revolver, so swiftly as to seem echoes, the bullets striking the solid rock wall, one, crushed out of all shape, dropping directly in front of Olga, crouching in the entrance. Shelby laughed. but with eyes stern and watehful

The remembrance of the scene just witnessed could not be east off. He had no reason to question the truth of that occasion and it had impressed him strongly. Macklin was evidently dying; was already beyond help. Any breath might prove to be his last, and it was even then too late for any doctor to save him. But would Pancha return in time to assist them? Would she bring sufficient help with her? In spite of the ominous quiet below he felt no faith that Indian Joe would so easily abandon their trail. He was not that kind Something would assuredly arouse his suspicion that they had not perished in the flames. Indeed, that could be easily ascertained by search of the debris. . and the perturbed rarchman was far from being satisfied that Pancha alone knew of this secret trail. Why. Macklin stated he had himself been up as far as the cave; and it was scarcely

would lose every bequest he made if
she remarked
She is in love with Laurence Tren-
with a poor man. Her fortune has
been swept away during the absence

hesitancy and when in the midst of

"FRoM THE GROUND UP"

Tom Moore, with his ineradicable,
jolly smile, is coming to the Grand
theatre, December 81 and 2S, in a
delightful Rupert Hughes comedy,
From the Ground Up that was
produced by Goldwyn. In this photo
play, Mr. Moore begins life as a ditch
digger in an excavation for a bust
ness building. AS man with no
cares and happy nature that keeps
his either singing or playing his
harmoniea, the lowly hero arouses
the envy of the rich and care-worn
builder. His daughter, too, on a visit
TO the site of the new building. is
attracted to the happy spirit in the
ditch He gives her his harmoniea
as sure cure for all the ills of the
world. She puts a bill into his hand
and drives off. Thereafter his pride
gives him an ambition-to return
that money.
When the building becomes too
great an undertaking for the builder,
and his fortune is lost, the ditch
digger has already risen TO posi-
ton of semi-responsibilty. Two or
three times he encounters the beau
tiful daughter, (played by Helene
chadwick) but is never able to re-
turn payment for his receipt for
happiness. Now the fortunes of the
ditch digger and the formerly
wealthy builder are reversed; but il
is the former who seeks out the
latter.
