depthless bog which touches the northwest base of Star Peak. He was not hurrying, having no thought of pursuit. Behind him plodded Leverett, the trap thief, very, very busy with his own ideas.
 To Leverett's repeated requests that Kloon halt and open the packet to |se what 1t contained, Kloon gruffly refused.
 What do we care what's in it?" he said We get ten thousand apiece over our rifles for it from them guys. Amt it a good enough job for you ?'
 "Moybe we make more if we take what's inside 1t for ourselves" argued Leverett. Lets take a peek, any way"
 They plodded on. arguing, toward their rendezvous with Quintanas out post on the edge of Drowned Valley:
 The fourth pretender to the pearls, rubies and great gem called the Flaming Jewel stolen from the young Grand Duchess Theodorica of Et- thonia by Jose Quintana was an un- conscious pretender entirely innocent of the role assigned her by Clinch
 For Eve Strayer had never heard where the packet came from or what it contained. All she knew was that her stepfather had told her that it belonged to her. And the knowledge left her tncurious.
 CHAPTER W.
 Eve slept the sleep of mental and physical exhaustion. Reaction from fear brings a fatigue more profound than that which follows physical overstrain But the healthy mind, like the healthy body, disposes very thoroughly of toxics which arise from terror and exhaustion.
 The girl slept profoundly calmly. Her bruised young mind and body left her undisturbed. There was neither restlessness nor fever. Sleep swept her with its clean, sweet tide, cleansing the superb youth and health of her with the most wonderful balm in the Divine pharmacy.
 She awoke late in the afternoon, opened her aower-blue eyes and saw State Trooper stormont sitting by the window, and gazing out.
 Perhaps Eyes confused senses mis- tookthe young man for a vision; for she lay very still, nor stirred even her little finger.
 After a while Stormont glanced around at her A warm, delicate color stained her skin slowly, evenly, from throat to hair.
 He got up and came over to the bed

How do you feel?" he asked, awk- wardly. Where is dad?" she managed to inquire In a steady voice
 He won't be back ull late. He asked me to stick around-in case you needed anything"
 The girls clear eyes searched his.
 Trooper stormont?"
 Yes, Eve"
 Dads gone after Quinttana.
 'Is he the fellow who misusesd you?" T think so." Who is heo" T don't know"
 "1s he your enemy or your step fathers"
 But the girl shook her head. T can't discuss dads affairs with with"
 With a State Trooper" smiled stormont. That's all right, Eve. You don't have to-
 There was pause; Stormont stood beside the bed, looking down at her with his diffident, boyish smile. And the girl gazed back straight into his eyes-eyes she had so often looked into in her dreams.
 I'm to cook you an egg and bring you some pie" he remarked, still smiling. Did dad say am to stay in bed 2" That was my inference Do you feel very lame and soreo"
 My feet burn"
 You poor kid. Would you let me look at themo I have a first aid packet with me" After moment she nodded and turned her face on the pillow. He drew aside the cover a little, knelt down beside the bed.
 Then he rose and went downstairs to the kitchen. There was hot wa ter in the kettle. He fetched it back, bathed her feet, drew out from cut and scratch the flakes of granite-gr grit and brer- points that still remained there
 From his f1rst-aid packet he took capsule, dissolved it. sterilized the torn skin, then bandaged both feet with a deliciously cool salve, and
 
 Eve had not stirred nor spoken. He washed and dried his hands and came back, drawing his chair nearer to the bedside.
 Sleep, if you feel like it." he said pleasantly.
 As she made no sound or move ment he bent over to see if she had already fallen asleep. And noticed that her flushed cheeks were wet with tears
 Are you suffering?" he asked gently.
 NO. You are so wonderfully
 Why shouldn't I be kind?" he said, amused and touched by the girls emotion.
 T tried to shoot you once. That is why you ought to hate me"
 He began to laugh: "Is that what you're thinking about?"
 "I-never can-forget-"
 Nonsense. We're quits anyway. Do you remember what I did to you?"
 He was thinking of the handcuffs. Then, in her vivid blush he read what she was thinking. And he remem- bered his lips on her palms,
 He, too, now was blushing bril- liantly at memory of that swift sud- den rush of romantic tenderness | which this girl had witnesses that memorable day on Owl Marsh.
