this paragraph:

ers to guard the down-mountain side
Of the highway. All at once one Of
the huge guard rocks heaved itself
from it's place to come tumbling over
and down the declivity, timed as If by
some calculating agency to reach the
lower tangent coincidentally with the
racing roadster.
Fortunately, Markham was one Of
those drivers whose reactions in an
emergency are so instantaneous as to
seem purely automatic. He did the
only thing there was to do-released
the brakes and damned the foot throt-
tie open to its limit.
It was all over in a moment. With
only fraction of second to spare at
the point Of intersection, but that frac-
ton on the side of safety, the flying
car shot fairly under the hurtling
menace and went racing on to the
next doubling curve.
1t was not until the car shot out
upon the valley level that Lands re-
laxed drawing long breath and say

busy just then to figure out what 1t

Lands said quietly. "If they are the

'em. They can't go on to wherever
they're going without passing us, and

Lands of his discovery. Vaguely

By this time the road had left the
narrow valley Of the Pannikin. Know
ing from the itinerary in the route
book that there were hazards ahead
on the descent to the Red desert edge
mining town Of Copah, and hoping to
be able to have daylight for the nego-
tiating Of them, Markham did not
spare the car on the way up. Neverthe-
less, it was coming on dusk when they
found themselves entering upon the
hazardous descent, with the lights of
Copah winking in the distance.

indeed to the first Thanksgiving in

First Thanksgiving Feast.
The picture Of that first Thanksgiv-
ing feast celebrated in Plymouth on
the thirteenth day of December, 1921,
Is striking one. Imagine the block
house standing out stark and alone in
the great wilderness. Its rough walls,
crude furniture and huge fireplaces-
the Thanksgiving table of long narrow
boards, perhaps not more than three
feet wide, supported at either end by
trestles.
If this first Thanksgiving feast was
served in dishes, they were made Of
square blocks of wood about ten to
twelve inches square and three to four
inches deep, followed down into a sort
of bowl. Nor was there one Of these

caused several men working in his

pile of hay they had raked up, ready
to be loaded on truck, was seen to
rise in the air and sail along for
some distance, apparently without
any reason. The haypile was car

EYES, but nothing in the wide world
to connect the wrecking with these
men we're chasing. Why would a
trio of bank burglars, if that's what
they are, pass up all the chances in
six or seven hundred miles and go
streaking off up here in these noun
tains?"
'Just So" said Markham with a
short laugh. 1T isn't decent But
there Is something else I'd like to
know. What has become of Candy
and the Lawsons?"
This question was answered late in
the afternoon, as they were running
down the valley of the Panniken
toward Copah-still gaining upon the
Fleetwing, as they learned by inquiry
as they had come along. 1t was at
water tank station on the Pacific
Southwestern that they first heard Of
the Nordyke limousine. 1t was ahead
of them; had apparently been ahead
all day. They had stopped at filling
station to get gas, and to ask about
the Fleetwing, and the gas man
grinned.

Markham was putting the gears in

him to ask another question of the
gas man.

anybody elseY
The man scratched his head as if
trying to remember. Suddenly he
looked up with the wide-mouthed grin
again in place. "Why, yes-come to
think. Wanted to know if anybody
else had been along askin' about the
Eight; two fellers, he said, but he
couldn't tell me what kind of car
they'd be drivin'."
1t was Lands who spoke first when
the two were once more on their
way.
''Wally, how is Bert Candy mixed
up in this thing?" he demanded.
''What is his connection with these

on us?"
