Go On With the Stofy.
CHAPTER II.

Before midnight Smith struck the
hard forest. Here there was no trail
at all, only spreading outcrop of rock
under dying leaves.
Ahead of him, somewhere in dark
ness-but how far he did not know
Quintana and his people were NOV
ing swiftly On Clinch's dump.
IT may have been an hour later
two hours, pcrhaps-when from far
ahead in the forest came sound
the faint clink of shod heel on
rock.
Now, Smith unslung his pack,
placed it between two rocks where
laurel grew.
Salzar's red bandanna was still
wet, but he tied it across his face,
leaving his eyes exposed. The dead
mans hat fitted him. His own hat
and the extra torch he dropped into
his basket-pack.
Ready, now, he moved swiftly
forward, trailing his rifle And very
soon it became plain to him that
the people ahead were moving with
out much caution, evidently fearing
no unfriendly ear or eye in that see
lion of the wilderness.
To keep in touch with them Smith
FASTENED his pace until he drew near
enough to hear the low murmur Of
their voices.
They were travelling in single file;
he had glimpse of them against
the Ghostly radiance ahead. Indeed,
SC near had he approached that he
could hear the heavy, laborcd breath
ing Of the last man in the file-some
laggard who dragged his feet, plod-
ding on doggedly, painting, muttcr-
ing. Probably the man was Sard.
Already the forest in front was in
vaded by the misty radiance from
the clearing. Through the trees star
light glimmered on water. The per-
fumc of the open land grew in the
night air-the scent of dcw-wct
grass, the smell of still water and
sedgy shores.
Lying fiat behind a rotting log,
Smith could see them all now
spectral shapes against the light
There were five of them at the foy,
est's edge.
They seemed to know what was to
be done and how to do it. Two went

And at the same instant she saw

His rifle stood in the corridor out
side her door. With one bound she
was on the stairs again. There came

caught her on the landing.
Twice she wrenched herself loose
and her fingers almost touched Stor-
mont's rifle; she fought like a cor
nered lynx, tore the handkerchief
from her assailant's face, recognized
Quintana, hurled her very body at
him, eyes flaming small teeth
barred.
Two other men laid hold. In an
other moment she had trippod Quin-
tana, and all four fell, rolling over
and over down the short flight of
stairs, landing in the kitchen, still
fighting.
Here, in darkness she wrigglo1
out, somehow, leaving her blanket
wrapped in their clutches. In an
other instant she was up the stairs
again, only to discover that the rifle

After another silence:

She placed her lips to the door:

For a moment nobody stirred or
spoke. Then Quintana strobe to the
bolted door and struck it with the
butt of his rifle.

acing voice, you listen once to

southwest, shoulder deep in black
berry and sumac. The fifth man
waited for a while, then ran down
across the open pasture.
Scarcely hao he started wien
Smith glidcd t. the wood c 'g'
c,ouchcd, and !, oaod dowl.
Below stood Clinch's Dump, plain
in the starlight, every window dark.
To the west the barn doomed, huge
with its ramshacKe outbuiIding5,
Struggling toward the lake.
Straight down the slope toward the
barn ran the fifth man Of Quintana's
gang, and disappeared among the
outbui'dings.
Smith crouched, listened, searched
the starlight with intent eyes, and
waited.
Until something happened he could
not solve the problem before him.
He could be Ct no use to Eve Straycr
and to Stormont until he found out
what Quintana was going to do.
He could be of little use anyway
unless he got into the house, where
two rifles might hold out against
five.
There was no use in trying to get
TO Ghost Lake for assistance. He
felt that whatever was about to hap
pen would come with a rush. 1t
would be all over before he had gone
five minutes. No; the only thing 20
do was to stay where he was.
As for his pledge to the little
Grand. Duchess, that was always IN
his mind. Sooner or later, somehow,
he was going to make good his
pledge.
He knew that Quintana and his
gang were here to find the Flaming
Jewel.
Had he not encountered Quin-
tana, his own GRAND had been the
same. For Smith had started for
Clinch's prepared to reveal himself
to Stormont, and then, masked to the
eyes-and to save Eve from a broken
heart, and CIinch from States Prison
he had meant to rob the girl at
pistol point.
1t was the only way to save
Clinch; the only way to save the
pride of tAis blindly loyal girl. For
the arrest Of Cljnch meant ruin tc
beth, and Smith realized it thor.
oughly.
A slight sound from one of The
out-houses-a sort of wagon-shed-
attracted his attention. Through the
frost-blighted rag-weeds he peereC
intently, listening.
After a few moments a faint glow
appeared in the shed. There was &
cracking noise. The glow grew

Do you remember the refer

tion of lawyers has handled the

among its clients, dealing out
counsel based on records which
run back for a hundred years or
more. There is no reason why
advertising agencies, too, should
not outlive their founders and the
successors of their founders,
growing wiser with each genera
ton and gathering priceless
possession of recorded expert
ence.
Think of ad advertising agency
in 2020 being able to turn back in
the records to 1920 and say to its
clients:
'In the Fall of 1920 this hap
pened in silk, and this happened
in leather and this happened in
wheat, and the selling problems
which followed were so and so.
The present situation has certain
aspects that are similar; and tbs

ton of that fact"
We are gaining experience; we
are growing more and more val

Advertising Needs Time to

The advertising agency is the
precociOus infant among the pro-
