Dick had not ridden hundred
yards behind the trotting leaders be-
fore he had sundry painful encoun-

horse missed these by narrow mar
gin. Dicks knees appeared to be in

to lift them high and let his boots
take the onslaught of the spikes.
Ladd pursued a Zigzas course south

the horse a choice of ground. Once
when he, thinking 20 fight his weari-

of the horses in the lead was riderless
Ladd was carrying Mercedes.
1t seemed that hours passed, though
he knew only little time had elapsed,
when once more he threw off the spell
of WEAKNESS. He heard 4 dog bark.
Tall trees lined the open lane down
which he was riding. Presently in the
gray gloom he saw low. square houses
with fiat roofs. Ladd rode on for
perhaps quarter Of Il mile, though
it seemed interminably long to Dick.
A grove of trees doomed dark in the
gray of morning. Ladd entered it and
was lost in the shade. Dick rode on
among the trees. Presently he heard
voices. and soon another house, low
and fiat like the others. but so long
he could not see the farther end, stood
up blacker than the trees. As he dis
mounted, cramped and sore, he could
scarcely stand. Lash came alongside.
He spoke. and someone with big.
hearty voice replied to him. Then it
seemed to Dick that he was led into
blackness like pitch. where, presently,
he felt blankets thrown on him, and
then his drOwsy faculties faded.
