We must dash through this pine before that Are you hear roaring catches up to us.’’ •Is that awful roar from a Ore. Bllir •it Is. It’s eur worst danger. Let’s go. Jane.” To cross the wide belt of pine their course lay obliquely downhill. If any thing were needed to spur t^em on, the thunder of the Are sweeping down the forest behind served as a dread warning that they had only minutes left to escape disaster. Halfway down the ridge, Denison paused to rest Jane In his arms. She was panting like an antelope. “Brave girl!“ he murmured. "Not a sob—not a tear—" “But we must hurry. Bill,” she panted. "Oet a little breath for the next run." "Can we make It, Bill, dear?” "We’ve got to moke It,” he muttered •ill save you, Jane, If It’s the last thing I do In life." "Don’t save me unless you save yourself—remember that 1" "Come! We must make the spring —the spring!" The timber was thinning, the ground growing rougher. The frontiersman and cowman who had gone through every adventure that befalls a man In a life of danger and escape made little of Ondlng safe footing from rock to rock. But his charge had a harder time trying to keep her feet and to keep the pace. Denison offered to car ry her. She would not hear of It. He himself saw, before Jane realised It, that the end of her strength wa« a* hand. Striving vainly to keep op. sbe stumbled sod with a little moan fell forward on the ground.

They could no longer hear or think Flame bellied and danced. Tongues of Are licked at their hiding heads. Deni son mechanically dipped water Into Jane’s hair. Consciousness was nearly gone. Only the effort to live and the tierce Instinct to protect the one he loved animated him. With their trial of endurance almost at «n end, a sudden explosion burst in the air above them. Denison, forget ting his caution, opened his eyes in the fear that a tree was falling. His eye balls were scorched In a fraction of a second. He dashed his face back Into the water; hut mischief had been done. At last the terrific outburst abated With the hope of life reanimated, the two rose in the pool In their steaming clothing. Darkness fell from the skv above, but the forest was lighted with smoking and burning tree torches, the afterglow of Its destruction. The two who had passed through and escaped a hideous catastrophe stood clasped In each other's arms thanking" God and dellrouil In a new found, Intimate happiness. “Water!” exclaimed Denlsom ‘Tm perishing, In spite of my cold bath. Aren’t you thirsty?" "Yes, but not suffering. I didn’t have to carry you, you know."

CHAPTER VIII Picking their way haltingly and cau tiously down through smoking pines, dodging burning limbs that snapped and crackled menacingly overhead or crashed to the ground about them, the refugees emerged from the forest and could see that Denison’s ranch build ings had escaped the flamaa. The Instant they reached the ranch house, Denison ran to the well, filled the water bucket, and carried It to Jane. Sitting on the ground, bare headed, they slaked their thirst out of the dipper together. Denison turned to the corral. Jane, who had gone Into the house, had gbt the fire going and was slicing bacon when she heard the clatter of hoofs outside, and angry voices. “Where’s my daughter, you damned scoundrel?" were the first words she made out. The sound of the voice that uttered them sent her running, the knife still In her hand, to the door. Amazed to dumbness, she saw her fa ther and McCrossen in the saddle, fac ing Denison, who stood at the gate of his corral. "Van Tambel,” Denlaon spoke care fully, "you’re too old a man for me to quarrel with. Just remember you’re on my property and kqep a civil tongue in your head. I’ve taken more of your abuse In years gone by than I ought to take. Now put your question civ illy." T don’t want no truck with you. Denison." shouted Van Tambel, rag ing. "Where’s my girl?” McCrossen bad reined about and was starting for tba house. “Swing bark here. MrCronseo.” Denison sang Delightful Modish Models “A Let *f Oee* Timoee Oewe •* That Blais, Van." Mutisms* Me- Cvaaaaw. out sharply, "fllop right where you uro. My rablo a out opr* le public In spect I o* f” T don’t flva • damn for your cabin. There’s Jane,” the fureas*a shouted, standing lo the doorway.” Jane ran ocruoa the yard to the angry men. “Father!“ she cried. “What In the world are you doing here? What brought yon from the hospital?" Her father’s deep set. piggy eyes flashed hla fury on her. “You brought me here," he snapped savagely. "You wench! Living with this man. are you?" "Father!” Outraged womanhood never spoke the word more stlnglngly. "Is it possible you Insult me so vilely be fore you have beard a single word?" she said. “What have I to do with your grudges and quarrels?" Rigid and erect, storming within and striking with white-hot words at her parent’s base Intimation, Jane si lenced the men about her by her out raged dignity. "What shameful words have you heard—and from whotn”—she barely Indicated her father’s companion by a lightning flash of her eye—“that put such vile thoughts Into your head?” She waited for no answer. "I rode to the peak of Gunlock Knob to see how the fire was heading—It has threatened Gunlock Ranch for two days. When I tried to ride down this afternoon, the fire cut me off. I should have been burned to death where I stood on the peak, If Bill Denison hadn’t ridden up through another fire to save me. And now after fighting our way for hours through smoke and flame, he brings me down by the only possible way, to hear me foully insulted by my own father. This la too much!” Van Tambel had not dreamed that a mere Inault—hla usual weapon toward everybody—would arouse anyone, much less his daughter, to such a pitch. Her buttoned blouse, torn rudely open at the neck by a forest branch, and her tie awry, revealed the girlish Ivory of her throat and neck, while her hot words silenced the domineering brute before whose Insolence few men could atand at ease. - "Look here. Janet* bellowed her fa ther la retreat "Yon come out here for year hooJth, didn’t youT T didn’t come out, here to be grossly Insulted," ahe retorted. “Where’a your pony?” “Heavens knows where It Is, or where Bill Denison’s la. I hope they’r* not burned up." “Well, come along home. McCrossen will lend you his horse." "He needn’t. I will walk home Juat as soon as i have cooked some bacon for Bill Denison.” “Come along now.” “Did you hear me? I’ll come home* —each word was defiantly emphasized —“when I have made coffee and cooked bacon for Bill Denison. When yon get home, be kind enough to ask Bull Page to saddle a horse for me and bring It over." With this, Jane walked swiftly hack to the cabin. Van Tambel, In a muttering rage, followed by McCrossen, started home. A slender aupper was at length got together. Then Jane made Denison He back in a chair and submit to cold compresses on his eyes. Waiting for Bull Page proved no hardship, but when the hands of Deni son’s little alarm clock pointed to mid night it dawned on Jane that her re quest had been Ignored and that her father or McCrossen had meant ahe should walk home or compromise her self by staying all night at Denison’s. She boiled a bit Inside when ahe real ized the situation, but prepared to walk. To this Denison would not lis ten. He got up two ponies—he had bat one extra saddle—and, despite her Abjections and protests, Insisted on rid ing home with her. It needed no announcer In the morn ing to tell Jane that her father had come home. She lay, exhausted and with every bone In her body aching, beyond her usual rising time. But there was an unusual scurrying about outside her room. Quong, old and winkled, was the only man of tho household not In the least perturbed by the surprise return of Van TambeL Jane came to the tibia aa her father was leaving It "I want to nee y after breakfast." was the gruff greeting he vonrhaafed Jane.

The two men halted at the foot of Gun- lock Knob. “A lot of good timber gone In that blaze, Van,” muttered McCrossen. Van Tambel was silent for a mo ment. “The ranch ain’t worth as much as It was yesterday, that’s sure,” he said at last. Then after another pause: “I wouldn’t mind the timber If the damned fire had held on till It cleaned out Denison.” Both were looking down on th* neighbor’s ranch.
