The Gorge had hecome as narrow as

The gorge had become as narrow as
a hall bedroom, and the rush Of the
black torrent toward the falls terrific.
1t whirled Lee around and around like
a ball. The line of white was coming
nearer with awful rapidity. Lee saw
the figure on the edge Of 1t, tossing its
arms as it raced along the brink, but
If 1t was shouting now, Its voice was
indistinguishable in the roar of the
torrent.
Great fallen rocks lined the banks.
Lee grasped at them as he was swept
by, but they always eluded him, al
ways the current carried him away.
Now he seemed poised upon the brink
of the tumbiing cataract. He grasped
at a rock projecting u of mid-stream,
missed it.
Something descended over his head,
checking him. He seemed to float still
in the current, which boiled about
and past him. He reached out to the
rock, found it, chung there. He reached
I'D one arm and found that he was
enveloped In the folds of a long fish.
ing net. He saw Leboeuf upon the
brink, not ten feet distant. The man
was shouting, but Lee could not dis
tinguish q word. He was pointing
toward the shore, to the rock. Lee
let himself go.
The great shoulders and arms
strained themselves upon the net
against the torrent. Completely en-
meshed, Lee felt himself being slowly
drawn, like a gigantic fish, toward the
bank. There was one instant when
the force Of the current seemed to be
pulling old Leboeuf into the stream.
The huge body bent like a bow, there
was an instant of suspense, Their
slowly the great shoulders swung back,
and Lee grasped the rocky ledge
through the folds of the net. He felt
himself raised to the rock rim, felt
Leboeuf's arms about him, and col
lapsed into Inconsistencies.

the interior. uttered a shout and
leaped toward the obscurity Of the OPP
nosite wall. In another moment he
had returned, dragging with him a
large sack, from whose mouth tiny
yellow particles exuded.
As If unconscious of the presence of
Lee and Joyce. he kneeled down, and,
muttering feverishly, began untying the
cord about the sacks mouth. The gap
ing sides disclosed a pit OF gold.
Gold in fine dust, gold in nuggets.
Railway plunged his arms within the
sack up to the elbows, chuckling and
mumbling. There was a fortune In
that bag, the accumulation of old
Pelly's years Of nocturnal labors. 1t
was impossible to estimate it, but it
would make its possessor a very rich
man for life.
well, I'm glad you've got it," said
Lee.
But he was thinking bitterly of
Joyce's loss.
He turned away. Suddenly some in
stinct caused him to duck and spin
around. The fash of flame spurted al
most into his face. He heard Joyce's
cry ring through the cavern.
Railway had pulled a second PTS
toll from his clothes and fred at Lee
at five or six feet distance.
The bullet Clipped a silver of gran
lite from the wall behind his head.
At the same instant Lee saw Joyce
aim her automatic and fire deliberately
at Railway.
But of course no discharge followed
the pulling of the trigger. Lee had
known the automatic was empty,
though it had not seemed necessary to
warn Joyce.
AS he sprang forward, Pathway
brought the butt of the weapon smash
ing down upon Lees forehead.
Lee dropped foolishly upon his
knees: he saw Railways face, con
vulsed with fury, over him; Rath-
ways arm, yellow with gold dust
raised to strike again. Lee leaned
backward, overbalanced, fell into the
stream.
He saw Joyce run forward and
grasp at him as he was swept past,
Railway graphing with her
then he was In the whirling current,
and Joyce and Railway and the cav
ern vanished as swiftly as a picture
on the screen.
Lee was only dimly conscious OF
what was happening to him, for his
senses reeled under Railways blow,
and it was only an intense effort of
the will that enabled him to keep his
above the water. He had a vague
consciousness that he was being
whirled through the depths of the
mountain in complete darkness. The

rock roof swept his hair, and the
rock walls on his two sides formed
a sort of hydraulic tube against which
the stream tossed and buffeted him,
hurting him from side to side in its
fury.
And ever the stream grew swifter,
and ever that ominOus roaring sounded
louder in his ears.
The river was carrying him toward
some subterranean waterfall. Half
conscious. Lee visualized death among
the grinding rocks-death in that
viscous blackness that no ray of sun
light had ever Illuminated.
He knew in a dim way that this was
the end, and resistance being impos-
sible, resigned himself to the rush of
the waters, gasping in a few mouth
fuls of air whenever it was possible.
The tunnel was growing still mar
rover, and now the roaring sounded
in his ears like thunder. The rock
roof dipped to the water. Lee drew
in one last breath. He went under.
he flung up his arms, and his fingers
scraped the roof-then touched only
emptiness. The current hurled him to
the surface again. He opened his
eyes.
Starlight overhead, appearing be
tween high, precipitous walls, that
seemed to scrape the sky. A narrow
gorge, through which the current
whirled him still more furiouSly. In
the distance a line of white, the boil
ing of the torrent about the rocks Of
the falls.
I~nvoluntarily a great cry of anguish
broke from Lees throat. Again and
again it broke forth, the spontaneous
protest of the body against inevitable
destruction.
Upon the brink of the gorge, which
had a tiny ledge Of rock or underclin
beside the water, a beacon fire leaped
Into view, far away. Silhouetted
against 1t was the black figure Of q
man. Lee fancicd that he shouted In
answer. His head was growing clearer
now.

Lee pushed the stone back, lay
down on the ground, and, after show
ing the girl how to elevate 1t from be-
meath, descended. When his feet were
on the first rung of the ladder, he lit
the candle. Ia a moment Joyce APP
peared, and then Railway behind her,
clinging to the opening and looking
down with uneasy suspicion.
"Hold tight to the rocks" Lee
called. "It's slippery, and II you lose
your hold there's a deadly drop below"
He led the way down, shifting the
candle from hand to hand alternately
as he descended, to illuminate the way
for Joyce, until he reached the bottom
orihce. Then he began slowly to COM
plete the descent, i~nstructlng Joyce
where to put her hands and feet, guild
ing her, and bracing himself against
the cliff, ready to sustain her weight
in case Of a slip. However, all three
reached the floor of the gorge without
accident.
Railway muttered, looking about
him. In the moonlight Lee saw that
he was dripping with perspiration. Hs
was trembling with excitement.
Lee said eight fatal words: "Ths
rock marks the entrance to the tunnel"
Railway looked at II and nodded.
Il had some diffculty in finding IL
before" Leo added. He turned to the
xirl. Joyce dear, I'm going to show

No one would think of looking for 1t
there, and to hoist 1t into the motor
boat would be a matter Of only a
minute or two.
Looking into the boat, he saw that
Kramer had placed the drum of gaso-
line In 1t, as he had ordered.
Railway chuckled. Joyce, the boat
and the gold-and Estelle awayi What
more was needed?
A few hours delay, until the men
were stupefied with whisky, then
One minutes start was all he
needed. Then he was safe. He could
make Lake Misquash in three days.
There, In the far north, at the last
outpost of the Free Traders, III by
the half-breed whom he supplied per-
iodically with hooch for sale, he
would remain with Joyce, safe against
pursuit through the long winter. In
any event 1t was not likely that the
gang would have the enterprise to
follow him.
In spring Joyce and he would move
south by other trails. By spring the
girl would have forgotten Anderson. ~

son How long would she be thinking
OF him? Weeks, perhaps.
His suspicious Of Joyce and Ander-
son dashed him, and he ragged all the
afternoon, abusing his men, and CIV
inr them unheard Of tasks. He had
the boats cleaned, the engine over
hauled, a drum of gasoline placed In
the motor boat. He sent some food
TO Joyce. The men grumbled and
went about their work sullenly.
Railway fancied he saw looks pass
ing between them, as If they had
some secret understanding. BE be-
lieved they were eonspiring against
him. And where the devil was Bs-
telle?
In spite Of the hate that he now felt
for her, he turned to her In his
thoughts in time of difficulty. Curse
the woman She was getting too
strong a hold on himi He must send
her packing.
His desire for Joyce was a constant
goad to him. But he was still afraid
of her. He must give her time to
weaken. 1t was not dark enough.
And he had not drunk enough.
At nightfa1 the men began a ca
rousal, gathering in a hollow between
the huts, protected by a skin roof and
sides, but open in front, where a huge
fire was kindled. Usually Railway
kept liquor from them, except when on
long journeys and for the weekly de-
bauch which he permitted, but now
they were openly defying his rigid
rule. The possession of the gold had
disintegrated everything
For Railway, too. He cared no
longer. The drunken his followers
became, the better for the plans that
were %condensing in his mind.
AS he passed, one of the men de-
family held up a bottle, an act that
would have brought swift physical re-
tribution under other circumstances
A. man at his side dashed it out OF his
hand, whispering in his ear. The bottle
smashed. and the spirit ran out on
the ground. PATHWAY affected not to
notice the incident.
Another man, staggering out of O.
hut, lurched past him with a num-
bled gibe. Railway affected not to
notice that either. Let the fools
their halter
He went into his own hut and swal-
lowed a cupful of whisky. 1t helped
to steady his nerves. He crossed the
neck and made his way to the hut
where Joyce was. 1t was nearly dark
now, and through the darkness he
could see her sitting where he had
left her, her hands folded in her lap.
Fear of her sprang up in him again,
and with the fear unreasoning fury.
Hate and love left him neutral for the
moment, so strongly they contested
within him.
The girl did not turn her head, and
he steered a wide courS of the bed,
edging sidewise toward the sack of
gold dust. Picking it up, he made his
way quickly outside. With a great
effort he managed to hoist it upon
his back, and, staggering along, al
most bent double by his burden, he
made mis- way among the reeds until
he reached the shore of the lake, a
few yards from where the motor boat
lay beached at the end of the broken
parapet.
He laid the bag down in the swamp,
He felt more at case now.

PICKETINC ship
Both Give Aid to the
Seanen of Greece
Especial to the paiIy Worker

NEW YORK CITY, Dec. 6.-The
owners of the Greek steamer Edison,
which the l. W. w. Marine Transport
Workers and Greek members of the
Workers Communist Party are
picketing, may not be able to get the
ship away from the dock at 39th st.
Brooklyn when she is scheduled to
sail today.
The crew, it seems, is part naval
men and part civilian, and it is the
civilian section which is striking, as
the whole line is called on strike by
the Greek unions.
International Solidarity.
The Marine Transport Workers Of
the I. w. w. have, therefore, nothing
to do with making the demands, but
are showing a fine sense of interna-
tional solidarity by furnishing pickets
from the l. w. w. to strip the ship of
crew and prevent another crew ship
ping on as far as they are able.
This international solidarity to con-
sist of boycott and picketing, was
voted on favorably at the Manhattan
branch of the M. T. w. No. $40, on
Nov. %, after report of the whole line
being struck by the seamen's union

Picketing squads of thirty or forty,
made up of l. w, w. seamen and

been on the picket line, although
some have been beaten and searched
by the police. The incident as whole
illustrates the spirit of International

Fight for Freedom
lspeeIaI 70 The paIIy workerl

BRUSSELS, Belgium, CBy maiD -
In the closing sessions OF the Inter
parliamentary Communist Congress
here, the question Of Alsace-Lorraine
occupied the major part Of the time.
The French and German delegations
pledged each other to fight in their
respective parliaments for freeing OF
Alsace-Lorraine from imperialist oD-
preston.
In the name OF the workers Of
Alsace and Lorraine Comrade Huber
welcomed the decision OF the Comm
tern to bring before the congress.
Comrade TRENT then read a declare
ton in the name Of the French delega-
ton in favor Of the autonomy Of Al
SAGE and Lorraine, il necessary com
plete independence, the right OF self
determination for the people Of Alsace
and Lorraine and if necessary a COM
plete separation from France.
In the name of the German delega-
ton Comrade Stoecker then read a
declaration to the effect that the Ger
man Communists would work together
with the French Communists in sup
port of the workers and peasants OF
Alsace and Lorraine against all forms
of imperialist oppression. Attic the
German Communists support the at
tempts of the toilers IN Alsace and
Lorraine for autonomy, they never
theless expect that the workers and
peasants of Alsace and Lorraine viii
arrive ever more and more to the
conclusion that their real freedom
can only be brought about by the pro
letarian revolution and by an alliance
with the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics of Europe.
A resolution against the pact OF
Locarno was then adopted. The reso-
luton will be read in all parliaments
as the Communist declaration. Further
resolutions adopted were for the eight
hour day and for the autonomy and
