We have too many citizens telling us
what is wrong with America; so have
shown girl discovering many more
things which are right with it. What
price, though. she paid for her stupid
blindness - all the thrills of life may
be found in American adventures.
Christophine's discovery of Amer
ica after long residence in Europe is
the basic idea of the serial, but it is
not the whole story. The love-triangle
of Christophine. wealthy Marcia and
an Italian prince from Omaha; the
likeable. crap-shooting Texan, Jack
Tower, who tries to win Marcia's
love; the mystery of the Duchess's
stolen jewel; the exciting police search
for Christophine as she jumps from
city to city; what happens when they
finally catch up with her - these form
the plot of Nina Wilcox Putnam's
newest and most sparkling serial.
And throughout is generously inter-
spersed the inimitable Nina Wilcox
Putnam humor. There is action; there
is pathos; there is love - tender and
romantic love. wise-cracking yet sim
cere love; there is scintillating writing,
life-like characters, originality of
incident and plot.

said II don't like their looks. Suppose
we go out through the back way
They're watching for me?"
They're staying for something.
They might have been waiting for
me-" Wharton answered. Looks
something as though they'd been
tipped off"
Dick thought of that letter he had
sent to Frank Perkett. The exigencies
OF haste had prevented him from put
ting it in code. but he had most GER
tainly blundered in not finding out
more about the man to whom he was
entrusting the message before starting
it on its way.
Wharton led the way, walking like
some stalking cat. moving with
smooth silence through the moon
light. Dick heard the grind of a
starting motor. Then car throbbed
into life and ran toward them, run
ming without lights.
Virginia Dame opened the door and
said simply, "All set?"
Dick climbed in beside her.
II wasn't certain that you'd show
up." he said.
PLEASE don't talk about it," she
said. Il was swept off my feet can't
begin to tell you how I've hated my

Dick ignored Wharton's presence
He leaned toward Virginia Dame as
the car struck the main roadway

myself plain. l want an opportunity
to tell you exactly what you've come
to mean to me. think I'm entitled
to that, am l not?"
She didn't have an opportunity to
answer the question. Tom Wharton,
leaning forward from the back seat,
his lips very close to Dicks ear. said:
You're coming along on this trip
as lawyer. You'll have to do legal
work. You'll get good fee, and that's
the end of it,"
Dick turned about in the seat, so he
could face the hostile features of the
man behind him.
II don't know as this is any of your
business" he remarked
Please" Virginia Dame pleaded,
please don't say anything more
about it"
Dick turned from Wharton's hostile
eyes. saw the quiver of her lips in the
light from the dash. He put his hand
on hers and said. I'll do as you wish

culiar metallic ping as the leaden
missiles struck home.
Almost from the start. Dick out
distanced his pursuers Their horses
were fatigued from the sprinting gal
lop, and while they gained for the first
few yards. the roaring truck soon left
them behind in cloud of dust.
Dick drove the truck directly back
to the gate of the Flying-M. He
jumped from it, ran to the place
where he had tied his horse. The
animal was still there. Dick jumped to
the saddle. and swung the animal in
detour, away from the road. but
toward town. He removed the mask
from his face, and thrust it into his
hip pocket.
He had but little fear of immediate
pursuit. His horse was relatively fresh,
and was galloping easily over the sur
face of the desert. The horses of the
FlyingM outfit were fatigued, and.
as long as Dick kept to the desert and
away from the road, the automobiles
of the Flying-M outfit would be use
less. The gold would of course be dis
covered by daylight. might even be
discovered when the moon rode
higher in the heavens; but it would
take careful. painstaking search of
miles of country to locate it. and
valuable time would be wasted, be-
cause the men would ally pre-
sumo it had been thrown off somewhere
on that wide circle the truck had made
away from the roadway.
BY daylight Dick knew that every
thing would be won or lost.
Dick fought his way through the
throngs of people jostling about the
sidewalks and climbed to his Office
Here in Quartzburg there was no news
of the robbery. The Flying-M boys
had naturally elected to solve their
own problems without calling the law
to their aid. Once in his Office, Dick
took from locked closet his rifle.

bag in which had been wrapped some
signalling rockets.
1t was five minutes before one
o'clock when he heard steps on the
stairs. and Tom Wharton. flinging
open the door. stood on the threshold.
one hand at his hip, peering into the
darkened room.
Dick Galt?"
"Okay," Dick said in low voice
Come on" Wharton said. we
drive out the road piece and then
pick up broncs. They're already
staked out"
Dick followed the man down the
stairs.

wheel should disclose the fact that
the truck had been brought to stop
at that particular place.
For some two miles, Dick raced the
gravelly desert He swung the car
from the road. and drove it in wide
circle over the hard surface. He knew
that the moonlight was sufficient to
show his pursuers where the truck had
turned off from the road. but he was
able to make such wide circle that he
brought the truck to within hundred
yards OF the road at point nearly a
quarter of mile from the place where
he had left it. Here the truck was pro-
tected from view by a clump of smoke
trees. and Dick shut off the motor and
switched out the lights.
He had not long to wait.
He heard the roar of machine,
saw the headlights grow in size as the
car roared along the dusty road. 1t
flashed past Dick at speed of some
sixty miles an hour, the driver fighting
the steering wheel. two men clinging
to the robe rail in the tonneau of the
car. The machine was going too fast to
enable the driver to look at tracks.
Dick continued to wait.
Some five minutes later, he heard
the beat of galloping hoofs, and COM
pact body of horsemen swept into
view. riding at gallop. casting
grotesque shadows in the moonlight
as they swung about the turns in the
road.
These were the men who would be
watching the trail. and Dick turned
on the ignition switch of the truck and
held his foot just above the starter,
waiting, praying that the truck would
respond. Three or four of the horse
men swept on by, but one of the men
spotted the place where the tracks
turned off. He gave a shout.
Dick slammed his foot down on the
starter. The motor throbbed into in
slant life. Dick let back the clutch.
The high-powered truck crashed for
ward and through the thicket OF smoke
trees, roaring toward the road. The
men swung their galloping horses
about. turning them with that deft
quickness which characterizes skill
full cowpuncher upon a well-trained
cattle animal.
Dicks truck hit the road. He turned
it back toward the Flying-M Ranch,
giving it all the speed it had.
The distance was too great for

the subject as the best conversation
outlet to lessen the tension.

land, we'd have tried to swing a pul

doing that if we'd struck up a motto
saying 'HeiS was iillic lIltIt
wouldn't we?"
Dick recognized the logic of hi |
position and slowly nodded.
Virginia Daine drove the car with
the deft touch of an expert. Twicd
they passed mounted men gallopind
along the road.
The Flying-M boys seem to be on
the prod tonight" Wharton remarked
lingering a six-shooter which he held
in his lap.
Dick gave a mere nod. He knew
that these men were out searching fon
the place where the gold bars had
been dumped.
Wonder what they're doing"
Virginia Dame said musingly. Its
swell break for us if they're off the
ranch"
Much farther?" Dick asked.
Less than two hundred yards" I"
she told him, putting her foot on the
brake pedal.
Virginia Dame swung the car from
the road out into the desert. dropped
down into barranca. and as she
switched off the motor, Dick heard the
whinny of a horse. Wharton opened
the door, led the way to the three
horses. He looked suspiciously at
Dicks canvas bag.
What you got in the bag?"
Something" Dick said, which
may help us hold possession of the
mining claim
"All right. throw it on your bronc.
It's the one you mastered the other
day. He won't like it, but he'll re-
member your hand on the reins
Let's CO."
Dick swung into the saddle. Whar-
ton took the lead. They galloped
away through the desert night, the|
shadows thrown by the moon Skim
ming along beside them over the|
desert like inky companions.
Despite the danger. Dick gave him
