“Oh, Bllir said Jane. “Don’t think
of me—do Just as If I were not here."
She threw her own arms around his
neck, and their lips met again In pas
sionate appeal.
"Then come, Jane. 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«

The heart of the fire was on them.

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

"It was." ahe whispered. “I’ve given
you my trust."
“For all time, Jane?"— : «•.
“For all time, Bill. Nothing shall
ever part us, now."
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

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

—and I’ll see that you don’t”
Van Tambel, quitting the house, rode
with McCrassen, over the hills burned
the day before, to determine what fur
ther measures should be taken to In
sure safety for the ranch buildings.
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.
