squeezed them lest they somehow
cause her to reveal herself. And
while the horseman approached
on the trail a few feet away, she
wondered if he wouldn't be attract
ed to her by the deafening noise
of her own heart.
The little black boy, Midnight,
saw Jerry Dale ride away from the
Phantom corral holding a woman's
purse. Jerry had muttered some!
thing, but had offered no explana-;
ton. Midnight was left staring
open mouthed. ss
"Bress de Lawd!" Midnight
prayed more to himself than to Di-1
vinity, looking first at the depart
ing Jerry then at the riderless
horse that had trotted in.
All at once, then, he dropped the
horses reins and ran like q black
deer to the main ranch residence.

Mrs. Brazee came to-, the door,

Recent murders in I the Phantom

woman anyway. She grasped the
lad and shook him.. as If in disci-

Little Midnight was alnostshys-
terical and Mrs. Brazee Wasn't
much less so. But she did have
presence of mind enough to- run
through the yard to the smolse- =
house and grab the rope that was.

She never saw the Mexicans any

Sho never saw the MeXlcanS any
more.
She watched and listened and
soon realized they had been
thwarted. She decided to work
cross-country to the Phantom
Ranch road again; it couldn't be
far. But she had to climb a slip
ing ridge and the walking hurt her
feet. She sat down to contrive
make-shift moccasins of her dress
wrapping her pink feet in the
cloth strips she tore-and there OBJ
served also that night was ap-
preaching.
The thought Of darkness encour-
aged her to hurry so that within
half an hour she was back on the
trail. Somehow it was immensely
comforting. Wheel ruts and horses
tracks were visible there; they
meant she was approaching friends,
that the Phantom ranch and it's
people couldn't be so many miles
off. She estimated that she had
ridden at least six or seven of the
IL miles from Blanco when the
Mexicanss had captured her. But
here in the mountain canyons night
was deepening fast.
In little while she was in an
other stream bed, evidently a
branch of the river, walking in it's
soft sand because the ranch trail
was just a few feet away on higher,
ground. The bed was drysnow, but
she saw signs of flooding. Stacks
of driftwood and trash. Water line
on rocks. Smoothly rounded stones
that had been tumbled maybe miles
down the slopes. The canyon soon
turned westward so as to admit a
last Illuminating splash Of day that
tips in theatrical manner and cast
an eerie glow over everything close
at hand. Under other circum-
stances she would have been
thrilled at the extraordinary beau
ty OF it; now she was mainly CRATE
full for the help it gave.
Her progress ended abruptly
when she caught an echo of hoofs.
In an instant her pulse was
throbbing anew. Had the Mexicans
known a short cut? Or did they
have henchmenxin these wi1ds?
Frantic with new fear. Lorena
thought of fleeing up mountain
slope. She knew her feet wouldn't
permit fast travel, though. There
were rocks behind which she could
hide, but she would have to run
nearly a hundred yards to any Of
them now. And the hoof beats
were nearing! !,
From some corner in her brain
came recollection of days on the
seashore, of burying herself in soft
ocean sand. Instantly, therefore,
she lay down ina depression there
in the stream bed and tipped sand
over; herself. Hardly two minutes
were required to be covered. rect
to neck. then she snuggled her race

CHAPTER FIVE

"HOLA!"
The big Mexican shouted it. He
spurred his horse toward the Amer
ican girl, but to his amazement she
instantly disappeared. He and his
companions didn't even have tim
to lift rifles. She just jumped over
. the cliff, crashing through the
green tops of the trees.
There was more shouting and
cursing in Spanish, the big one
again taking command. Horses
could not plunge after the girl be-
cause the river cliff there was
straight up and several feet high.
The leader directed his two men to
go upstream while he turned back.
They all galloped fast for few
hundred yards, then paused to con-
fer again in shouts. The cliff con-
tinued to be steep. There was no
break in it, no way down. The lead
er motioned the others on, and him
self spurred again.
1t was nearly mile down stream
before he was able to slide and
jump his horse from the embank-
ment down to the level Of the river
sand, and even then it was no easy
task either for him or his horse.
The animals right flank skidded
onto a rock, drawing blood. The
! Mexican was torn through a thorny
c1ump Of shrubs and severely
! scratched. These things had not
soothed his temper when he finally
did get through; he set out at once
upstream, muttering anew.
The leader knew that the other
two men would descend somewhere
up the canyon, then turn back to
meet him. Between them would be
the girl again. She was unmounted
this time, and unarmed. But she
might be dead, too, from the daring
leap she had made.
i Lorena, however, was not dead.
She was assuring herself of that
fact Immediately after she struck
the sand5 She needed the assurance,
for her body hurt, her clothing
was torn, and she was frightened
: almost out of. her WITS. But she
managed, to- sit up and brush the
dirt from her face. Some Of it
would not come off easily; some
gratEls;pf the sEiNeEssand seemed inn;

She deserved to be broken and
hurt, but she could rise, and stand,
and even walk. Her knee panied and
her left cheek. probably would be
numb forever after, judging from
the way lit felt now. Blood was
oozing from several scratches. And
a limb or something must have
struck the riE that ached. But she
was alive! And-she even smiled,
moving away in sudden elation.

likely pursue l1erY so she hastened

over her face and drank a little,
too. tllenswaded into the stream. It
wasn't knee deep anywhere, and
the coldness of it felt good.
From Tnidstrean she had a bet
ter view. She saw. that the river
bed was rough and rocky, both up
and down stream; even if her cap
torss did try to follow, they would
have hard going. The canyon
seemed to be growing deeper with
every hundred yards, and there
were many places to hide. No horse
could ever travel there and she had
q head start on the men.

Speculation on Structure.
This Interpretation, 1t was pointed
out by DR.. Struve, opens up difl1cult
problems on the structure of. the
galaxy itself. The spectra Of this
light are those associated with
hydrogen gas and peculiar states Of
oxygen and nitrogen supposedly
caused only by bombardment of
these atoms by extremely short
wavelengths of invisible ultraviolet
light.
THUS" he said, "the ultraviolet
source Of star energy required to
excite the higher atomic levels Of
hydrogen was supposed to become
exhausted In the immediate neigh
borhood Of the hottest stars. It is
now apparent that these lines come
from distances of at least 70 light
years from the exciting stars in the
region of the constellation Orion
and it is probable that in the regions

$50 or more light years from these
stars
Remarkable differences in the ma
ture of this light, he said, are found
in summer and in winter, when dh-
ferent consultations Of stars appear
in the direction Of the Milky Way.
The way Harvard University as
tronomers are attacking the dim
cult problem of counting the stars,
visible and invisible, in the Milky
Way galaxy was described by DR..
Bart J. Box of the Harvard Observa-
tory. In the past, they have been
satisfied with estimates of the total
number and the probable proportion
Of different sizes and types. Now,
in order to get some idea from OBJ
servations taken on the inside of
what the galaxy would look like to
an observer at some remote point in
space, it Is necessary to count them
In all directions from the sun as a
center, and for every section of the
Milky Way.
