her. He caught at her horses bride.

Another roar, and huge rock top
pied and fell, this time behind, and
smashed into a score of fragments
which went rolling into the chasm be-
low, waking a hundred reverberations
among the hills.
And with that Lee understood the
devilish scheme that was in the work
ing. The dynamiting which he had
heard that afternoon was the prelimi-
nary work of the two men in prepar-
ing their trap; now they had set fuses
among the rocks at the narrowest point
of the trail, with the purpose of blow
ing him to destruction.
And 1t was "a murder plan that
would leave no evidence behind it,
surer and safer than a rifle shot.

sound of the dull roar and the up

Whv "Z" Comes Last

The great ancestor of our letter ''Z'
was drawing representing duck.
Such it was in Egyptian picture writ
ing. The drawing was next modified
to provide a symbol suitable for use
In a running hand (the .hieratic"
form), and later this form became, in
the Phoenician and early Greek alpha
bets, crushed down and compacted un-
til 1t became recognizably like its pres
ent form. With the Phoenicians. q
was the seventh letter of the alpha
bet. and SO 1t remained In the Greek
and early Latin alphabets, but 1t was
dropped from the Latin In the Third
century B. c. Later, when the study
of Greek became fashionable among
the Romans. 2 was restored. but 1t
had lost its place in the Roman alpha
bet and had TO fall In at the tail Of
the procession, where It stu remains.

last, and then We'll have an easy jour-
ney down through the pass"
She started off again, Lee following
some twenty PAGES behind her. But of
sudden Lees horse baked, laid back
his ears and snorted, planted his fore
feet firmly and refused to move.
1t was almost impossible to dis
mount and lead him, for at that point,
the narrowest part of the trail, there
was hardly standing room for man and
beast together. Lee held in the anil
NAL with tight rein, and patted his
quivering TANKS.
He could not understand what had
alarmed it, but now some instinct, per-
haps communicated from the beasts
brain to his, seemed to tell of danger
threatening.
He glanced at the girl, and saw that
she was almost across the danger
zone. He dared not call to her, for
fear of startling her. And, indeed,
there was no reason to call, although
that baseless instinct was now becom-
ing so strong that it almost amounted
to conviction.
He could not see the least cause for
apprehension anywhere. His fears APP
peared absurd; and yet that electric
message of warning went flashing back
and forth between his mind and that
of his frightened mount
Then suddenly there came the roar
of an explosion, muffied underground !;
the next the rocks over his head
seemed to upheave. An enormous
crack appeared in the face of the wall
of solid rock, which trembled and APP
peared to move toward him, as Ii
pushed by gigantic hand; and before
the reverberatiOns had died away Lee
heard a faint, crepitating sound, like
the rustling of paper-the sliding of
the interior strata, one upon another.
A, little avalanche of stones, dis
lodged from the surface, came rush
ing down the face of the cliff midway

CHAPTER w
The Trap Is Sprung

In the morning she greeted him with
forced gaiety. She nodded and smiled
when she came out of her tent.
'Well, we shall ride on together to-
day, / suppose" she said. 81 have told
you that I do not desire your COM
pany, and that your enterprise Is prob
ably a dangerous one. You have taken
the responsibility upon yourself. With

And this time it was the girl who
extended her hand. Lee took 1t and
held it for a moment in his own.

She watched Lees face closely as
she said this But Lee did not reply.

/ journey. 1t was about ten o'clock
when they heard two or three full
reverberations i'm the distance. The
girl, who was riding few yards ahead
of Lee, refined in and stood her horse
upon turfy hillock, waiting for him
to catch up with her.
"What was that?' she asked. look

horse

They were slowly descending toward

traverse precarious defiles, oveIhung
by huge boulders, prismatic from the
corrosion of the season. Underneath
them, at the bottom of long descent,
in places nearly perpendicular, the tor
rent raced among the rocks.

j the air was so calm, the sky so blue,

high overhead, seemed TO have been
pinned against the background of the
blue void.
