With Heese- nan shaken off the trail Hank leads his . gang to an isolated canyon.

The problem now is to get Helen out of the wild, roug:.. country, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. .~ INSTALMENT 27, "Are we safe her2?" she asked. "God only knows! 1 think so--I hope so. It's a lonely desert. Our enemies have gone the other way. They know they nearly wiped out Hays, and they'll try again with rein- forcements. They knew Hays had a fortune in cash--and you." To his concern and discomfiture she ate very little. She tried only to fail. But she did drink coffee, "you'll pick up," he said hopefully. 'Sleep, though, is more necessary than food." . "Jim, 1 can't pull off my boots," she said later. "Please help me." _ She was sitting on the bed when Jim took hold of the boot she elevated. "Look to sce if you have any blis- ters," he said. "I'll bathe your feet in a little cold water and salt." Bringing a pan of water, he knelt before her. "Don't stand on ceremony, Helen. Stick "out your foot. . ." She put out her small feet. Jim Jost no time in pressing them down into cold, salt water. Then he rub- bed her feet until they were red. "Put your stockings back on and sleep in your clothes," he said. "Be- fore you crawl in, I'll bring a hot store." : "00000!" She stretched out with a "slow, final movement and pulled the blankets up under her chin. Almost instantly she fell asleep with the flickering firelight upon her face. 5 . : Jim walked out to .find the horses cloge to camp and making out fairly well on the grass. He patrolled his beat between the flickering fire and the sleeping girl, heedless of the rain, : And after that when he slept it was with one eye open. Toward dawn he got up and rolled his bed. The air was raw and cold, Llowing a fine rain in his face. By the time breakfast was cooking daylight had broken. Finding a thin, flat rock Jim placed Helen's break- fast upon it and carried it to her bedside. Then he called her. "I've brought some food and strong coffee," he said. Jim repaired to his own breakfast, after which he wrapped up biscuits and meat to take on the day's ride. She pulled on her boots, and crawl- ing out and straightening up with slow, painful effort she asked for a little hot water.. Jim fetched it.

"Eat. be on us soon." Late in the afternoon there was a momentary brightening of massed clouds in the west. They rode down out of these low gravel hills that had limited their sight, into a long, green, winding A red river, surely the Dirty Devil, ran, ridged and frothy, under valley. a steep wall of earth. 41 can't hang on--longer," faltered Helen, faintly.

So-Jim rode on, aware thai her collapse and the terrible nature of the desert and another storm at hand | were wearing away even his indomit- able spirit. Ragged, red bluff stood up all along his right, with acres of loose rock ready to slide, They swung in trail passed around the corner. "Whoa, Bay," called Jim, hauling up to wait for the gray. "I don't like this place. Don't look, Helen." As she made no reply Jim leaned back to get a glimpse of her face. Asleep! - nt "Come on, Gray," he called to the horse behind, and to Bay: "Steady, it| child of the hideous Dirty Devil. .It Why didn't you He knotted her reins and dropped the loop over the pommel of her saddle. Then he lifted her off her horse onto behind the bluff, and then out again to the higher and narrower bank upon which the old old fellow, Jf that narrows round there you want to step sure," It did narrow. Eight feet, six feet --less! crumbling away, But the pack horses had gone round. Suddenly Jim encountéred a still narrower point, scarcely five wide. The edge had freshly crumbled. It was crumbling now. He knew horses with wid2 packs had safely passed there. 'He went on, Jim felt him sink. . One hind foot had crushed out a section of earth, letting him down.® But with a snort he plunged ahead to wider trail, Jim's heart had leaped to his throat. He heard thud of hoofs behind, a heavy, sliddery rumble. Looking back he saw the gray horse leap from a section of wall, beginning to gap out- wards to solid ground éhead. Next instant six feet of the trail, close up to the bluff, slid down in an avalanche, "Close shave for us all!" cried Jim, huskily. . d Right at his fect a red torrent rush- ed with a wrestling, clashing sound from out a deep-walled gorge of splin- tered, rocking walls, This was' a tributary, a vicious barred Jim's progress. Thirty paces to the fore, on the widest part of the bank, stood the pack horses. Jim forced his startled gaze to the rear. No rider would ever come or go that way again. The rain had slackened. - The girl, stirring in his arms, roused him out of his bewilderment. g He rode on to a huge section of cliff 'wall which had fallen from above and now leaned at an angle over the trail. It appeared to be a safe retreat. Jim dismounted carefully with Helen and, stooping as he moved un- der the leaning rock, he set her down on dry dust. "Is. it the end for us?" He did not answer. Folding the slicker into a pillow he laid her head back upon it. Scrambling up, he re- moved the saddle from Bay and drop- ped it under the shelter. Then, lead- ing the horse, he stepped forward to where the gray and the pack animals had halted. The instinct of the horses had guided them to halt behind the only safe spot on the unsafe bank. Jim removed their packs, leaving the sad- dles on. Without hesitation he pour- ed out all of the grain, about two quarts "for each horse. Lastly he jammed the packs under the edge of the boulders and left the horses free to take care of themselves. i "If that storm breaks over the head of this gorge we're lost," soliloquized Jim, in dark 'solemnity. Gloomy, weighed down by inscrutable events, he hurried back to the shelving rock. He dreaded the coming hours--the night--the--he knew not what. Jim removed his slicker and folded it into a long pad. As he crept closer the girl stirred again and spoke. He thought she asked if he was there. He placed the slicker in the best avail- able place and covered that with the drier of the two saddle blankets, He pulled 'the saddle closer. Then he lifted the girl over his lap and covered her with the dry blanket. He leaned back against the stone with her head on his. shoulder and his arm support- ing her. It was not only that he wanted to keep her dry and warm: he had to have her in his arms while he waited for the nameless terror he : Keep 1000S CRD BAST CAKES handy in your kitchen SWEET ROLLS i by made with Royal Yeast Cakes (overnight dough method) rise overnight, 8 ii In the evening dissolve 1 Royal Yeast Cake in 4 c. of tepld water, Scald and cool 2 c. milk, add 2 thsp. butter and 2 tbsp. lard, 2tbsp. sugar in and 1 tsp. salt.

Out upon the level desert it would have been serious for travelers; here in this gorge it was a maelstrom. Jim did not expect to live to hear it pass away. { Yet he did. And then began the aftermath of a flood let loose upon such unstable 'earth. The waterfall gradually rose to a thundering, con- tinuous erash. It dominated for a while, until the thousand streams from above poured over the rims to deaden all, to completely deafen Jim. A sheet_of water, sliding over the rock, hid the opaque blackness from Jim's eyes. Any moment now a flood would rise over the bank, and when it did it meant to climb higher with the girl, to front the hurtling rocks and slipping sides, and fight till the bitter end. . But many_. changes as the hours brought, that flood did not rise above the bank, Jim saw the sheet of water fall and the black space of gorge again, He heard the avalanches "and the great single boulders come down, and the furious backlash of the torrent below, and the lessening roar of the waterfall," (To Be Continued.) = | meds TAAIOARIDL | Yo.
