no talk, no cries, no oaths: 1t was a

Then 1t was that Transley remem-

the weapon and fired. The shot went
wild, and the next instant Drazk was
upon him again. In the struggle the
revolver fell from Transley's hand. and
both men began fighting toward it. As
Drazk's fingers clutched 1t Transley
kicked his feet from under him. and
the two went down together. Rolling
about on the rocky floor Of the quarry
they approached, slowly, unconscious

away to the river
On the very edge Transley realized
this new and hideous danger, and
scrambled TO his feet, dragging Drazk
with him. Drazk realized it, too, and
gleefully, tiendishly Joined again in the
combat, deliberately forcing the fight
toward the river.

inwardly. He dropped the boy and, in

Transley was raging as he walked

And now they've taken 1t. By God, If

With every step the wrath and hor-
ror within him grew. He was at the
quarry before he knew 1t. He paused
for a moment to listen Yes, there
were people present. There were
sounds-God, it sounded like a fight

Although Transley had a revolver in
his pocket It was not his customary
weapon. and his thought did not turn
naturally to 1t. In this tremendous
moment he forgot 1t altogether. He
rushed upon his wife's assailant,
clutching him about the throat
With the strength Of a madman
Drazk flung Zen to the ground, where
she fell unconscious at his feet. Then
he tore himself free from Transley's

Wilson approaching at his topmost
speed. Since the night of the storm he
had missed the boy tremendously;
sometimes he had thought that If only
he might have the companionship of
Wilson he could be reconciled to the
loss of Zen. He knew that veto had
been placed on Wilson's visits. and he
bore Zen no i'll will; he felt that he
understood her motives. But now, as
the boy came racing toward him,
Grant felt his heart bouncing about in
an extraordinary manner
why. what's the matter?" Grant
cried, as Wilson drew up beside him.
Has something happened to the pig"
1t was a moment before the boy
could speak.
"A man-ls-hghting my-father-
and shooting at him." he gasped.
And my mother's-dead"
Grant cleared the plow at a bound,

way"
But Grant was already stripping the
harness from Prince. The next mo-
ment he had flung himself upon the
horses back, and, leaving the boy to
follow as he could, was galloping
across the prairie to the quarry trail.
Under his urging the astonished plow
horse developed quite surprising
speed; in a couple Of minutes they
were on the old road to the quarry.
and a moment later horse and rider
dashed into the rock-rimmed cut which
overhung the river.
Grants first glimpse was Of Zen; she
had struggled to her feet; thank God,
she was not dead. Then he saw the
two men by the edge of the cliff !:
Transley he recognized: saw the knife
rise and strike
The blow Grant landed in Drazk's
face sent that gentleman spinning like
top. Like top, too. Drazk wobbIed
at the end Of his spin; wobbled over
the edge Of the precipice, and dropped
out Of sight.
Grant fell on his knees beside the
stricken Transley; leaned over raised
the quivering form in his arms. Zen,
beside him. drew the sorely mangled
head to her breast and whispered
words Of endearmeut into ears soon
closing to all mortal sounds.
