pleaded Harper. Another chance
to get the girl and Captain X"
There followed days of feverish'
energy at the Fuelite plant; and,
at the Offices of the Olympus Com
pany, days of increasing uneasiness.
With,s cancellations from railroads,
steamship companies and big in
dustrial plants pouring in on them,
something drastic had to be done
at once. Judith was summoned.
whats the matter with you and
Harper?" she was asked. Both
of you are much to blame!"
Were doing all in our power"
she replied. And l can report
that tonight we are closing Bottle
Neck Pass, through which all OUT
bound trains from the Fuelite plant
must CO. In addition, by tomor-
row morning the entire available
supply of Fuelite will cease to ex-
ist-the plant will be burned to-
night
Innocent of Black Harper's new
est plan of destruction, Ruth in her
home, discussed with Bruce plans
for charging their activities. There
was plenty of Fuelite, but scar
city of cars-only enough, in fact,
for the shipment that must go out
that night.
cts great that things are going
so fine" Bruce said, land business
is business, but when are we going
to be married."
Gas soon as things are running
smoothly" Ruth promised, "and
the coal people quit annoying US"
Their romantic interlude was in
terrupted by a telephone message
from Captain x informing them
that Black Harper and his gang
had blocked Bottle Neck Pass, but
he had already gathered together
some men and they were at work
clearing the rocks away.
In record time Ruth called her
cowboys together and they raced
for the pass. While the men work.
ed to clear the last huge rock Ruth
ran down the track with lantern
to flag the train. One of Harper's
men, left behind to prevent inter-
ference, sprang at her from behind
a telegraph pole. They grappled
in the path of the oncoming freight.
The mans foot slipped and he fell.
Ruth snatched him from the jaws
of death and the train Numbered
by, getting safely through the pass,
which the men had cleared, -
"She saved my life," Harper's
man told Ruth's crowd of valiant
workers, land I'm going to make
good for that. Harper and the rest
of the gang are settin' the Fuelite
stack on fire.
Filled with dread misgivings at
this stunning news, Ruth and
Bruce led the way to the plant.
From a point of vantage on hill
Harper saw the Remington crowd
coming and, gathering some of his
men, gave them orders to head
them off for at least five minutes
in that time he'd have fixed things
so that the plant would be tied up
for six months!
But Ruth tried a little counter
strategy. Don't do anything but
round up that bunchp she COM
manded her men, who started out
under the leadership of Captain x,
while she and Bruce went on to
the plant. Bruce was the first to
enter the Office of the plant. It
was pitch dark and he struck a
match and was about to light the
lamp when Harper, who had hid
den within, sprung on him. The
advantage was easily Harner's and

tinue forever the use of harmful,

Kellogg IS Bran, cooked and krum-
bled, is a delightful surprise to the
taste-particularly if one has tried
ordinary unpalatable brans. Kellogg's
Bran has a delicious, crisp, nut-like
favor-an exclusive flavor. 1t is most
enjoyable with milk or cream, sprin-
killed. over other cereals or cooked with
hot cereals. Try it in bread, mullins,
griddle cakes and other recipes given
on every package.

cases, with every meal. Kellogg 3 Bran
is made at Battle Greek and sold at all

packages by the leading hotels and
clubs. Ask for it at your restaurant.

Another moment and Black
Harper's vengeance against Ruth
Remington would have been con-
summated, but that moment was
sufficient time for employees OF the
Mercury Iron Works to snatch the
beautiful Miss Remington from
Harper's clutches. They turned
upon her assailant, but Harper be-
leved in running when the running
was good and he get away.
While seeking to evade them,
Harper saw Bruce Burton, who
had come to meet Ruth. Selling a
heavy shovel near at hand, he
swung it and it fell with a terrific
blow on Bruce's head. He sank
to the ground, but pausing to knock
out Bruce resulted in his capture.
The workmen fell upon him with
such a vengeance that the factory
doctor assigned him to the emer-
gency hospital, where he was UNI
der arrest and guarded.
Learning what had occurred to
her confederate, Judith evolved
plan to aid him. AS only the nurse
and doctor were permitted to see
him, she cleverly assumed the role
OF nHrse and secured entrance to
Harper's room, getting rid of bhe
unsuspicious guard by sending him
for cracked ice for her feverish
patient.
Harper's wounds were painful
and his movements slow and lab
ored, but, with Judiths help, he
was finally dressed and, leaning
heavily on her shoulder, he hob
bled down the corridor, every mo-
ment expecting to meet someone
who would stay their fight. But
they reached the outer door in safe
ty and a minute later Judith had
hailed taxi.
In the meantime Ruth had been
having a very satisfactory business
conference with the president of
the Mercury Iron. Works.
II am pleased to report" he adj
vised her, that the tests have been
highly satisfactory and we can use
Fuelite in large quantities. Can
you supply us with all the Fuelite
we need-right away?"
Ruth promised that they could
make immediate shipment of any
amount they would require. Their
business satisfactorily transacted,
Ruth and Bruce prepared to leave,
Ruth expressing a desire to first
see Harper, whom, having caught
red-handed in attempt at murder,
she intended to prosecute to the
limit. She was conducted to the
hospital room and, to their amaze
ment, found him gone. The guard,
with a bowl of cracked ice, dazedly
tried to explain the situation.
Ruth and Bruce rushed to the
entrance and were just in time to
see Judith and Harper disappear
into the taxi and drive off. No
other car In sight, they were I'M
able to give chase.
He'll show up again, never fear"
Bruce spoke from experience. Our
principal object now is to get the
Fuelite orders moving. This is the
big opportunity"
Disregard of his instructions
brought the High Priest of Mahalla
tor Painted Post. and. as soon as
Harper's injuries permitted, he re-
ported to his chief.
"You were given a most imp~r-
tant mission to perform, and you
have failed" the High Priest &C
cused. "Your failure is very seri-
Gus, for it means that the sacred
