wall above, the abyss beneath.
The approach Of the Yaqui was like
a slow dark shadow of gloom. If II
seemed SO to the stricken Gale what

peared to sink against the wall. The
Yaqui stole closer and closer. He was
the savage now, and for him the mo-
ment must have been giorified. Gale
saw him gaze up at the great circling
walls Of the crater, then down into the
depths Perhaps the red haze hang
ing above him, or the purple haze be-
low, or the deep caverns in the lava,

his gods to whom he called. Perhaps
he invoked. shadows Of his loved ones
and his race, calling them In this mo-
ment Of vengeance.
Gale heard-ori imagined he heard
that wild, strange Yaqui cry.
Then the Indian stepped close to
Rojas, and bent low, keeping out of
reach. How slow were his motions
Would Yaqui never-never end iti
A wall drifted across the crater
to Gales ears.
Rojas fell backward and plunged
sheer. The bank Of white choyas
cnught him, held him upon their steel
spikes. How long did the dazed Gale
sit there watching Rojas wrestling and
writhing In convulslve frenzy? The
bandit now seemed mad to win the
delayed death.
When be broke free he was a white
patched object no longer human, a
ball of choya burrs, and he slipped of
the bank to shoot down and down into

Gales racked hands.
How horribly plain that fiend's In

but could not. He prayed wildly for
a sudden blindness-to faint as Thorne
had tainted. But he was transfixed to
the spot with eyes that pierced the
red light.
Mercedes was growing weaker

"Oh, Jim Lash, are you deadT' cried
Gale. "Oh, Laddyi :. Oh, Yaqui J.
Suddenly dark form literally fell
down the wall behind the ledge where
RoJas fought the girl. 1t sank In a
heap. then bounded erect.
"Yaquii" screamed Gale, and he
waived his bleeding hands till the
blood bespattered his face. Then he
choked. Utterance became impossible
The Indian bent over Rojas and
flung him against the wall. Mercedes

got up the Indian stood between him

backed the ether way along the mar

was abject, stupefied. Slowly ne
stepped backward.

white CLEAN of knife In Yaqui's
hand. Rojas turned and ran. Yaqui
followed slowly. His figure was dark
and menacing. But he was not In a
hurry. When he passed off the ledge

then for Mercedes Gale held him
back with strong hand, and present

Suddenly harsh, prolonged yells
brought Gale to his feet. Far down
the trails where the crater rims closed
IN the deep fssure he saw moving
forms. They were three In number.
Two of them ran nimbly across the
lava bridge. The third staggered far
behind. 1t was Ladd. He appeared
hard hit. He dragged at the heavy
fiae. which he seemed unable to raise.
The yells- came from him. He was
calling the Yaqui.
