IA secret underground passage

three keepers were to have been
murdered in a wholesale Jail delivery
This fact is just made public fol-

of a letter by an inmate complaining
OF brutal beatings and of being iso-
lated from all other prisoners since
last March. The letter is in the
hands of Judge Monaghan and will
be read by members of the grand

day, but did not see the prisoner in
question.
Finds Prisoners Sullen.
The letter was signed by Barney
BaniSh, serving sentence of three
and a half years.
The first intimation that a break
had been planned at the county pris-
on. according to Supt. Heston, was
when seventy inmates refused to take
advantage of their exercise period in
the yard. and instead Of moving about,
stood at sullen and rigid attention in
complete silence.
Sensing something wrong, Supt.
Heston and two keepers descended
TO the underground passage that
night and crawled in the tunnel and
heard the complete plans for the Jail
delivery and the murder of three
Keepers. This conversation among
the inmates, said Heston, showed
that Barney Danish was the real
leader.
Search Leaders, Cells.
Knowing that the murders would
not be attempted with bare fists. a
search was made of the ringleaders
cells. and as Keepers Swanson and
Henry entered Banish'S cell the pris-
uner fought desperately and the keep
ers were compelled to use their fists,
Heston says, in such manner that
Danish received a broken nose and
lost some teeth of which he complains
In his smuggled letter.
After Danish was subdued. said
Heston. long knife with razor edge
was found concealed in his bedding,
and similar weapons We're found IL

CHAPTER XVI
Bonita.

Having exhausted all the resources
of the mountain, such that had interest
for them, Madeline's guests settled
quietly down for rest, which Made
line knew would soon end in desire
for civilized comforts. They were al
most tired Of roughing it. Helen's dis
content manifested itself In her re-
mark, II guess nothing is going to hap
pen, after all"
Madeline awaited their pleasure In
regard to the breaking Of camp; and
meanwhile, as none Of them cared for
more exertion, she took her walks
without them, sometimes accompanied
by one of the cowboys, always by the
stag-hounds. One day, while walking
alone, before she realized 1t she had
gone long way down a dim trail
winding among the rocks. 1t was she
middle of a summer afternoon, and all
about her were shadows Of the crags
crossing the sunlit patches. The quiet
was undisturbed. She went on and on,
not blind to the fact that she was per-
haps going too far from camp, but
Mking 1t because she was sure Of her
way back, and enjoying the wild.
craggy recesses that were new to her.
Finally she came out upon bank that
broke abruptly into beautiful little
GLADE. Here she sat down to rest -
fore undertaking the return trip.
Suddenly Russ, the keener OF the
stag-houndss raised his head and
growled. Madeline feared he might
have scented mountain-lion or Wild
cat. She quieted him and carefully
looked around. The little glade was
open and grassy, with here a pine tree,
there boulder. The outlet seemed to
60 down into wilderness Of canyons
and ridges. Looking in this direction,

a woman coming stealthily along un-
der the pines. Madeline was amazed,
then a little frightened, for that
stealthy walk from tree to tree was
suggestive of secrecy, If nothing worse.
Presently the woman was Joined by
tall man who carried a package,
which he gave to her. They came on
up the glade and appeared to be talk
ing earnestly. In another moment
Madeline recognized Stewart. She had
no greater feeling Of surprise than had
at first been hers. But for the next
moment she scarcely thought at all
merely watched the couple approach
Ing. In fash came back her former
curiosity as to Stewards strange alb
sences from camp, and then with the
return of her doubt of him the recog-
milton Of the woman. The small, dark
head, the brown face, the big eyes
Madeline now saw distinctly-be-
longed to the Mexican girl Bonita.
Stewart had met her there. This was
the secret Of his lonely trips, taken
Madeline. This secluded glade was a
rendezvous. He had her hidden there.
Quietly Madeline arose, with ges-
ture to the dogs, and went back along
the trail toward camp. Succeeding her
surprise was a feeling Of sorrow that
Stewards regeneration had not been
complete. Sorrow gave place to In
sufferable distrust that while she had
been romancing about this cowboy,
dreaming Of her good influence over
him, he had been merely base. Some
how 1t stung her. Stewart had been
nothing to her, she thought. yet she
had been proud of him. She tried to
revolve the thing, to be fair to him,
when every instructive tendency was
to expel him, and all pertaining to him,
sympathy, at extenuation, failed utter
ly before her pride. Exerting her will
power, she dismissed Stewart from her
mind.
Madeline did not think Of him again
till late that afternoon, when. as she
was leaving her tent to Join several of
her guests, Stewart appeared suddenly
In her path.
"Miss Hammond, I saw your tracks
down the trail," he began, eagerly, but
his tone was easy and natural. "Tm
thinking-well, maybe you sure got
the idea"
"I do not wish for an explanation"
interrupted Madeline.
Stewart gave a slight start. His
manner had a semblance of the old,
cool audacity. AS he looked down at
her 1t subtly changed.
What effrontery, Madeline thought,
to face her before her guests with an
explanation Of his conduct! Suddenly
she felt an inward hash of fire that
was pain, 50 strange, so incomprehen-
sible, that her mind whirfed. Then an
ger possessed her, not at Stewart, but
at herself, that anything could rouse
in her a raw emotion. He stood there,
outwardly cool. serene, with level,
naughty eyes upon Stewart; but In
wardly she was burning WIN rage and
shame.
'I'm sure not going to have you
think" He began passionately, but
he broke off. and a slow dull crimson
