activity held sway y y X
What's that? 7" Dick was
pointing straight before him.
"Old mine entrance, ;"
Lanier answered. "God
help us if they We gone in
there! !"
They stood, a detected
trio, at the mouth Of the
shaft. In the dry dust be-
fore the opening were the
! tracks. they had hoped they
would not find, scuffle of
shoes and the fresh imprint
of a small bare foot.
Well?" said Dick. He
stepped forward.
Lanier pulled him back.
Like looking for a needle
in haystack, " he told him,
soberly. 81 played in these

ing Felicia and the boy, yet
hidden, he hoped, beyond
danger Of detection.
AS the sun rose higher
and higher on the morning
Of the abduction, he had
paced more and more
neryously the veranda of
the hotel, glowering darkly
at the bright surface of the
lake before him. Where
were they, with his boy?
What had happened?
A car drove up and a fat
man, purple and perspiring,
emerged. Brett moved
eagerly to meet him. Like
conspirators, they moved
away from the hotel, seek
ing solitude for their conf
dences.
Brett's face darkened as
he listened to the report of
his detective.
Fools! Idiots! F" He
found little consolation in
the fact that his two hired
gunmen had landed in the
Reno Jail, paying the price
for their bungling.
Tim gonna call back to
the works" " the fat man ex-
planned. "They re expect
ing more dope on the old
guy that took the kid"
land they'd better get
it!" Brett muttered, saw
agely. He scowled. "Well,
we II let the boy go for the
moment. Perhaps it's just
as well-let my wife think
I'm frightened off and out
of the country" His eyes
glittered. You're to re-
port every move she makes,
understand" he ordered.
:: " And watch this >Stuyesant.

"What we call a Desert
Rat" the detective reported

jamas, with dirty bare feet
treading the path where
ladies in velvet and bustles
once walked proudly, where
Grant commanded an army
against the Indians.
ALEX -
The boy looked up at
Dick without recognizing
him but the old man smiled
"a smile of exhaustion and
of relief.
"You know this boy?"
Overtaxed by his flight with
the boy on his back, the
Desert Rat swayed dizzily.
Dick and J. b. supported
him, guided him to the di-
lapidated hotel of this lost
community. Alex rode
proudly behind on Sam
Lanier's S broad shoulders.
Telephone first to the
Hodges" Put Felicia on
the wire, please" " Dick com
manded DIR. Tom, excitedly.
Then the boys voice.

wire, Felicia had. tainted.
+ Revived by coffee and
food, the Desert Rat re-
counted his story, but in the
light of the boys adoring
admiration, he needed no
words to justify himself be-
fore these men.
The police car came tear
ing along from Reno and
the five of them climbed
into it, speeding back out of
this suspended patch of
things to the twentieth cen
tury.
With her son in her arms
and her shining eyes on
Dick S face, Felicia had no
thought of anything else in
the world. That Brett still
was taking an active part in
her affairs was a possibility
beyond her comprehension.
She believed he had gone
back to New York.

Lanier nodded shortly. Il
suppose there 5 always one
chance. - But his voice i'm
piled little hope and it was
a detected group that started
down the mountain side.
Lanier tried to Tighten the
spirits of his companions
with bits of local history,

left in those mines, he
told them, "but try to get
it out! At 5000 feet, they

Grass draped the broken
sills and ledges of white

grotesquely on crumbling
foundations. Their footsteps

realized he was in pursuit
and turned on him, it was
too late; they swung about
to stare into his hastily
drawn gun-and held up
their hands.
Back toward Jumbo Trail,
then down the road, Dick
marched the hulking figures,
until-affer what seemed an
7eternity-Lanier, j. B., and
a police driver appeared,
speeding from Reno.
But to catch up with the
mysterious old man and the
boy proved much more diff
sficult task. The kidnapers,
3sullen in their handouts,
knew no more of his identity
than did the others, So,
leaving them for the police
chauffeur to take back to
Jail, Lanier, j. B. and Dick
started up the treacherous

that the Wahabi are provoking war
with Great Britain.
The provocative activity of the
British imperialists against the
tribes can be seen in the following
figures: From October, 1925, until
March. 1929, no less than 68 raids
on Wahabi territory took place dur
ing the course of which 81 Waha-
bites were killed and booty carried
off by the raiders amounting to
1914 camels and $500 sheep. From
June, 1928, on, there were "a raids
on Wahabi territory, as a result of
which SO Wahabi were killed and
5,066 camels and 5000 sheep were
carried off. In other words, the
provocations are increasing in num-
Der and intensity and the only con-
clusion to be drawn is that Great
Britain is deliberately trying to
pick a quarrel with the Nejd in or
der to launch general attack upon
Ibn Saud.
