He found himself out in the rain, scanning the trampled soll by light of his lamp, and discerned tracks which the drizzle had not yet erased. He reasoned mechanically that the two riders could have no great start of him, so gtrode out beyond the house to see If they had gone farther into the hills, There were no tracks here, therefore they must have doubled back toward town pit did not occur to him that they might have left the beaten path and followed down the little creek to the river; but, replacing the light where Ké had found it, he remounted and lashed his horse into a stiff canter up toward the divide that lay between bim and the city, The story was grow- log plainer to him, though as yet he could not piece it all together. Its possibilities stabbed Lim with such worror that he cried out aloud and beat his steed Into faster time with both hands and feet. To think of those two 'uffians fighting over this girl as though the were the spoils of pillage! He fhen passed on. Glenister"s plan was to go straight to the Northern and from there to track down its owner relentlessly, but In order to reach the place his course led him past the office of Dunham & Struve. This brought back to his mind the man dying out there ten miles at his back. The scantiest humanity de: manded that assistance be sent at once. Yet he dared not give word | openly, thus betraying his presence, for | it was necessary that he maintain his{| liberty during the next rat all haz | | ards.

It was of wood and giass, the panes clouded and opaque to a height of some six feet: but, stepping upon a chair, he peered info the room beyond. A man knelt in a litter of papers before the open safe, its drawers and compartments remov- ed and their contents scattered. The watcher lowered himself. drew his gun ard laid soft hand upon the doorknob, turning the latch with firm fingers. His vengeance had come to meet him. After lying in wait during the long night, certain that the vigilantes would spring his trap, McNamara was as- tounded at news of the battle at the Midas and of Glenister's success. He stormed and cursed his men as cow- ards. The judge became greatly exer- cised over this pew development, which, coupled with his night of long anxiety, reduced him to a'pitiful hys- teria. / BAKING POWDIR DORCHESTER, MASS. MONTREAL, CAN.

And yet, who of those who had known he Kid in the past would dream that tis vileness was so utter as this?

Even the unwelcome speculation upon his physical handicap offered re- lief, however, from the agony which fed upon him whenever he thought of Helen in the gambler's bands. Mean- while the horse, groaning at his mas- ter's. violence, plunged onward toward the roofs of Nome, now growing gray in the first dawn, It seemed years since Roy had seen the sunlight, for this night, burdened with suspense, had been endlessly long. His body was faint beneath the strain, and yet he rode on and on, tired, dog- ged, stony, his eyes set toward the sea, bis mind a storm of formless, whirling thoughts, beneath which was an unde- viating, implacable determination, He knew now that he had sacrificed all hope of the Midas, and likewise the hope of Helen was gone; in fact, he began to realize dimly tbat from the beginning he had never had the possi- bility of winning her, that she had never been destined for him and that his love for her had been sent as a light by which he was to find himself. He had failed everywhere; he had be- come an outlaw; he had fought and | gone down, certain only of his recti- tode and the mastery of his unruly spirit. Now the hour had come when he would perform his last mission, de- | satisfaction | riving therefrom that which the gods could not deny. would have his vengeance.

Once I get my band on the ringleader, the rest may riot and be damned." Although he bad made less display than had the judge, the receiver was no less worried about Helen, of whom no news came. His jealousy, fanned to red heat by the discovery of her earlier defection, was enhanced four- fold by the thought of this last adven tare. Something told him there was treachery afoot. and when she did pot return at dawn he began to fear that she had cast in her lot with the riot- ers. This aroused a perfect delirium of doubt and anger till he reasoned further that Struve, having gone with her, must also be a traitor. He recog- nized the menace in this fact, knowing the man's venality, so began to reckon carefully its significance. What conld Struve do? Wht proof had he? Me- Namara started and, seizing his hat, hurried straight to the lawyer's office and let himself in with the key be car- ried. It was light enough for him to decipher the characters on the safe lock as be turned the combination, so he set to work scanning tbe endless bundles within, hoping tbat after all the man had taken with him no inerim- inating evidence. Once the searcher paused at some fancied sound, but when nothing came of it drew his re- volver and laid it before him just in- side the safe door and close beneath his hard, continuing to run through the documents while his uneasiness in creased. He had been engaged so for some time when he heard the faintest creak at his back, too slight to alarm and just sufficient to break his tension and cause him to jerk his head about Framed In the open door stood Roy Glenister watching him. McNamara's astonishment was so genuine that he leaped to his, feet, faced about, and prompted by a secre tive instinct swung to the safe door as though to guard its contents. He had acted upon the impulse before realiz ing that his weapon wai inside and that now, although the door was net locked, it would require that one dan- gerous, yes, fatal second to open it. The two men stared at each other for a time, silent and malignant, their glances meeting like blades; in the old- er man's face a look of defiance, in the Younger's a dogged and grim purposed enmity.
