"I bed ofrou both, let dogs delight, to bark arfjd bite!-" ? He soi no further: Judith's ears ?rare ar quick es his own; she, too, had caught the son nd ot bells behind the base of the hill. And of a sudden without' another word, she turned and dung away into the heavy thickets ol undergrowth that masked all the can yon, to either side of the wagon-trail In a twinkling sbo had lost herself to view tar their labyrinthine shadowns. The remainder of that businessmm transacted rapidly-enough.

Barcos so often caught him self nodding In the saddle that he had little -doubt he slept through long stretches of that perious way. Broad daylight surprised them in this state, still stubbornly traveling, and shortly afterward showed them one place so perilous that it shocked them temporarily awake. This was simply a spot where the trail came abruptly to an end on one side of a clef In the hills quite thirty feet wide an*, several hundred In depth and was continued on the farther side, the chasm being spanned by a bridge of the simplest character. Alan tested the bridge cautiously. It bore him. He returned, helped Rose to cross, and with her once safely landed on the farther side, took his. life In his hands and, aided by Bar olin unaffectedly afflicted with qualms, somehow or other (neither ever knew precisely how) persuaded the burros to cross. After (hst, though the way grew moro broad and easy and even show ed symptoms of a decline, they had not strength enough left to 'sustain through another hour. And what they thought good fortuno opportunely at this pass, brought them to a clearng ' dotted with the buildings of an abandoned - copper mine. Not a soul was in evidence, but the rude structures offered shelter for beast as well as msn. Barely had they made Rose as:.comfortable as might be upon the'rough plank floor ing of one of tbe sheds and tethered the burros out of sight when Alan collapsed as if drugged, while Barcus, who bad elected himself to keep the first wstch and purposed doing it in a sitting position, with kia back against the door-jamb, felt sleep over coming him like a dense, dark cloud. IH-THE BOWELS OP THE BARTH Awakening befell Mr. Barcus In a fashion sufficiently' sharp and start ling to render hhni indifferent to the beneficial effects'of some eight hours of dreamless slumber. He -discovered himself lying flat on bis face, witta' somebody's inconsider ate heavy hand purposely, grinding the said face into the aged and-.splin tery planks of the shed flooring. At the L.The Aefengswrita of/Tboii4 Calore '.Vii same time other hands were busy bind ing his uwn together r- the wrist? and lashing V the same the small ot his hack by means .of a cord passed rom* his middle. w^lfcJxis natural if somewhat' spasmodic efforts to kick j were sadly hamper?*! by the fact that his snklcs bad already, beer secured hy means of half a dosen half-hitches and a squ*ra#knot. His hands attended to. his head waa released. Promptly he Hf ed lt and es sayed a yell; au effort rendered abor tive by the gag that was thrust be tween hts teeth' the instant hts jaws opened. Thea hs heard a laugh, a cold and mirthless chuckle. Now tho blood of Thomas Barcus ran cold (or he thought lt did; which amounts to much the sams thing.) For it bis censes had played fair, the laugh ho bad heard was the taugh of Mr. Marropbaqt. head-devil in the service of Seneca Trtn*.. Hotwlsted his head to one eldo and glancing along the Moor, saw nothing hut tts wall. Twisted the other way, at the cost of a splinter In bis noes.-, the effort was repaid by the discovery of Rose Triae tn plight like unto his own-"' wrists and ankles bound, gag' ged into the bargain- the width of the shed between them. But of Alan Law, no a?gn. The heart of Mr. Barons cheesed {momentarily; he shat his eyes ene Jshivered, th an uncontrollable eew uro of dread. Thea,, tormented beyond endurance by the fears bo suffered fur the safety loi hi* friend, be began ?xiwriggle ami ,? equino like a crippled snake, pata-j r [fully inching bis way ocrosa the floor 1 11 toward Kcwe--with what design, he*< 1 vea alone knows? Dimly nia mental vision comprehended the bare possi bility of hie being able, with his fast numbing fingers, to work loose the knots at HOBO'S wrists; but deep in hlB beert ho knew this to be tu tl? in JJ but the forlornest hope. With infinite pains he h?d contrived fb bridge the distune, by bali, rr pos sibly not quite so much, when a tn.rk Jbody put the sunlight ot the open ?doorway into temporary eclipse. An? ?other followed lt Boote clumped hen* Jvlly on the dooring. The laugh sound led again, apparently in irouic appre ciation of Mr. Bamis' eMorts. Two 1 karls of hands seized hiru, one beneath { ?the shoulders, the other beneatb the' |knees, and he waa lugged laboriously ut into the sunlight, carried a con iderable distance, and deposited un eremonlously within a few feet of the ?mouth of the abandoned mine. Then be waa left to himself once ?/nore, but Only for a few momenta; the~| nterval ended when the two appeared [again, thia time bringing Rose in alm iar fashion. Not until she ii ad been put down beside bim did he discover that Alan was likewise a captive- truased to tree at some distance. Tho remaining arrangements ot heir captivity were swiftly and deftly consummated, though their design re mained obscuro to Mr. Barcus until e, after Rose, was dumped like a ale into a huge bucket, and therein y means of rope .and windless lower d to the bottom Of the shaft- a des l?e eatlmated shrewdly, of some thing like a hundred feet: A hideous schrgeching'followed, the rotests of rusty and gresseless ma hinery. Twisting his neck, Harcus saw ?the dim opening of the abaft slowly closing, as If a curtain Were being lrawn down over it Jimmy was clea ng bulkhead door, leaving them eflo * iiy prisoners, beyond human aid, here in that everlasting black hole, With a final squeal sud thump the lulkhead aettled Into position. A con uslon of remote sounds thereafter in Heated that Jimmy (with, perhaps, Vlarrophats assistance) was. making he bulkhead faat beyond* question ?jvedging and blocking it with timbers 'era ?wjrsiy and Deftly Consuria?i4ti?i.; These ceased -and the silence:Was 1 m broken by Alan's voice. . et "BarcUai" , The latter grunted soulfully by way Sh ? answer; he could do no more.: "I've worked my gig loose." Alan '# ursed In a hurried ?'Maper, "but my bil ands aro tied behind tay back. Are tn ours? Omnt once for 'yes'." Dutifully Barcus grunted a s?litas*} h mat K "Then.rdU over, kn your face and rive me a chance at your bonds with D ny teeth, t ought to be able to work ? bern free that wsyj idven time."

A ticklish business, that- groping heir way through blackness so ipaque that lt Eeemed as palpable ss i pool of Ink. And haste was indicat ?d; They stubbled on with what (an ion was possible against pitfalls . gingerly scramble. Then an elbow a the tunnel- sensed rather tuan elt or seen'- cut them off from di rect Communication with the bulk tead. and at the Bame time opened up ? shaft of daylight, striking down brough that pitchy darkness like a olumn of fine gold. Cries of Joy, amazement, incredulty hoking in their throats, they stum ped forward, gained the spot inime lately below theshaft, loked upward azzled, to see blue skies like a coin a heaven's minting far above them, t the end of a long and almost per pendicular tunnel, wide enough tb ermit the passable of a man's body, nd lined with wodden ladders. The end of the lowermost ladder ung within easy reach from the oor of the tunnel. But even as Alan lifted his bands o grasp the bottom rung the open - tig at the top of the shaft was tem orarily obscured. Thrilled with apprehenslon,Jio hesl ated: Marrophat was up there, he Ittle doubted; hardly like'that one 9 overlook the hitter shaft 'In pre ening the'tunnel to ho a living smb. I ' ? .

Even hough ho were shot dead on emerg ig from the shaft, it were better than 3 die down there, Uko a* rat in a trap. He had climbed not more than half dozen rungs when a voice hailed rom above: "Law- Ob, Mister Law, I soy don't ome up- here's a, present for you." Pausing without answer, he look il op. A few dropB bf water spatter d bis face, like heavy rain. Almost urned ia tel y the blue <~.ky was per tinently eclipsed: a .eavy cascade t water, almost a solid column, shot own the shaft with terri file force, lan sought vainly *s '?

Bo re be know lt, his grasp had been renched away from the ladders arid i was shooting feet first back into e tunnel. >. Half-drowned and wholly dazed. V felt himself picked up and drag id away from the waterfall. Then, as* his senses cleared, he com .ehended the fact that the tunnel as already filling; that where they oed lt was already * ankle deep; hile the water continued to fall ttbout hint of letup. IV-FLOOD AND FIRE Screaming to make himself heard tove the roar 'of the deluge, Barcas immered in Alan's esr: "That dev?! He's found the resar cir- opened the slueegates- turn ! lt into th? shaft!

J He was decidedly of the opinion that it were better to be extinguished once a<d for all time, in the space ot als ?<cond, annihilated by an explosion, | tl than to die ?'.us lingeringly. On this consideration, he drew Rose with him, back to the buUtheaa. When they had been some fifteen o minutes beside the bulkhead, the wa- o ter mounted the head of a slight nae o perbapa ten feet behind thora, and e poured down In ever deeper volume o to back up against the barrier. Tn fifteen minutes lt had reached their china. And they stood with heads against the roof of the tunnel. Holding Roae close to him. Alan kissed her Ups, that were as cold as death. Then, fumbling under water, be found the hand of the man at his side. Tho water lapped bia lipa like a blind band. . . . In the tunnel that branced off from the main abaft, beyond the bulkhead, some thirty minutes before thia june ture, a candle had guttered in its atick, left carelessly thrust into the wall by Marrophat's lieutenant, and guttering had dropped a flaming wick into lit tle heap of bone-dry debris. This last Flamed, licked hungrily at the timber ing that upheld the walls of the tun nel. The timbering caught Dre with out delsy. In a apace of time incredible the flamea were spreading right and left, the tunnel was a vault of blister ing fury. S As Alan said his last mute fare well to Roae and Harcus, the fire spread out In the bottom of the shaft ind Invaded the powder room. Alan had guessed aright at Marro phat's design; the keg of blasting powder wss leas than an eighth full; ita explosion could not possibly have lffected the cave In Alan bad at first 'eared. But what Marrophat bad overlooked NUB the proximity to the keg of some nicks'of dynamite, masked by a film >f earth that had fallen from the mumbling walla.
