FIRE. Yaqui cIrcled close to abysses
which yawned sheer from a level sur
face. and he appeared always to be
turning upon his course to avoid them.
The plateau had now a considerable
dip to the west. Gale marked the
slow heave and ripple of the ocean
of lava to the south. where high.
rounded peaks marked the center Of
this volcanic region. The uneven ma
ture Of the slope westward prevented
any extended view, until suddenly the
fugitIves emerged from rugged
break to come upon a sublime and
awe-insplring spectacle.
They were upon a high point of the
western slope of the plateau. II was
strange to Gale. and perhaps to the
others, to see their guide lead Diablo
along the rim OF the awful crater
Gale looked down into that red chasm
II resembled an inferno The dark
cliffs upon the opposite side were
yelled In blue haze that seemed like
smoke. Here Yaqui was at home. He
moved and looked about him as man
coming at last into his own. Gale
saw him stop and gaze out over that
red-ribbed void TO the GIif.
Gale OWNED that somewhere along
this crater of hell the Yaqul would
make his final stand: and one look
into his strange. inscrutabie eyes
made imagination picture a fitting
doom for the pursuing RoJas.

There appeared to be nothing upon

with set jaw.
"Yes, Thorne. It's Rojas and a
dozen or more" replied Gale, and he
looked up at Mercedes.
She was transformed. She might
have been a medieval princess en-
bodying all the Spanish power and
passion of that time. breathing re-
venge, hate. unquenchable spirit OF
fire. II her beauty had been wonder
full In her helpless and appealing mo-
ments, now, when she looked back
whIte-faced and fiame-eyed. it was
transcendent.
Gale drew long, deep breath. The
mood which had presaged pursuit

Thorne's face corded by black veins.
and his teeth exposed like those of
snarling wolf. These rangers, who
had coolly rfsked death many times.
and had dealt 1t often, were white as
no fear or pain could have made them.
Then. on the moment, YaquI raised his
hand, not clenched or doubled tight
but curled rigid like an eagles claw:
and he shook 1t in strange, slow ges-
ture which was menacing and terrible.
1t was the woman that called TO the
depths of these men. And their pas
sion to kill and to save was surpassed
only by the wild hate which was yet
love, the unfathomable emotion Of
peon slave. Gale marveled at IT,
while he felt his whole being cold and
tense. MS he turned once more TO fol-

Yaqui looked back no more. Mer-
cedes looked back no more. But the
other looked, and the time came when
Gale saw the creeping line Of pur-
suers with naked eyes.
A level line above marked the rim
of the plateau. Sand began to show
in the little lava pits. On and upwnrd
tolled the cavalcade, still very slowly
advancing. At last Yaqui reached the
rim. He stood with his hand on
Blanco Diabio; and both were silhou-
cited against the sky. That was the
outlook for Yaqui. And his great
