But Rathway, clenching nnd un-

proceeded In the direction of the cave.

and the proofs of dynamiting.
"Aye, but the gold—where’s ths

“I have seen none,” answered Lee,

Relighting the candle, he preceded

their ears. By the candle light Lee
aaw freah footprints on the sands.
They were made by a man wearing
moccasins, no doubt Leboeuf. He 'did
not call Pathway's 'attention to them,
and Rathway, absorbed with his eager

swift and perfectly soundless stream
rushing through the cavern from side
to aide of the mountain. 7.
It emerged through a low tunnel In
the rock and disappeared through an

Rathway laughed'like u hyena as
he saw Lee disappear in the swift
waters of the torrent. He spun about
and struck the pistol, from Joyce’s
hands, pulled the ^girl to^ him, and

And J.oyce,. overcome^ by thl* cli- -

He discovered that he -was some

If he carried the girl through the

for the gold, she -might escape hlm.'v
On the otner hand, If he left her in

The only thing for^Rathway to do
Was to remove the gold nnd the girl
