'SONNY B.OLD'MAN, believing he
has been defrauded of the Aztec
Mine, takes to 'holding up the mine's
payrolls. JANET LAURIER, ,daugh-

to the Aztec, ;comes'' to MVIoleviile in
an effort to stop Ilolman's activities.
TILFORD, mine superintendent

the bottom of numerous ore thefts,

some of Janet's mine guards, under
orders to capture him. He escapes

horse doctored, intending to give it

Tilford apparently falls in with her

She pressed her hand agoinst her

was silence—silence. And then, dull
and muffled, there was an explosion„
Next a sudden roaring of shots • in
such quick .succession that they se-
emed one continuous detonation. A
long time later, a single shot. Then
silence again.
It lasted for a time that seemed,
anage. Janet closed her eyes un-
able to endure: the emptiness of the
cave ',mouth. She heard 'a yell, a
triumphant yell. Her head jerked
about. Meir on horseback, Garcia's

thoroughly informed about what had

ever faintly , the explosions from
within. They trotted forward with-
out haste. . Janet could not possibly
escape. The canyon ended in iblindly
tumbled rocks.

"I'm -wonderin' if Tilford; hadn't
thought of it," drawled Sonny. He
fell' , silent, watching the tumbled
reeks outside the cavern with a grim
attentiveness.
Janet's eyes were growing ac=
emstorned to the darkness now, and
the darkness' was not complete: Froin
somewhere high above, a little light
trickled in through ' vaguely outlin-
ed crevices.. She' could see the the
cavern was not a hollow in the rock,
but a leanto of stone; formed by one
of the snorster,monollths of the rock
slide landing ' in such a fashion as
to lean against the canyon wall, cies-
ing in a space.. perhaps ten feat by
forty or more, of an irregular shape.
The floor was fairly smooth, of
earth,and there were a few boxes
here and: there and a bunk for Sonny
to sleep on.
These things, though, did not hold.
Janet's eyes. Two crumpled shapes
upon the floor did. She drew in her
breath with a little gasp 'as she
realized ,what they were.
They were a hundred yards away
'and) slie was paralyzed with fright.
The revolver Tilford had given her
came' into her hand seemingly with,
out volition. They were fifty yards
away. Twenty-five—
Sonny's shrill whistle • sounded.
Gunpowder, twirled and streaked for
the cavern opening as Sonny's gun
bellowed. The big stallion crowded
imsrde, the other horse after him:, in-
stinctively fcllcwing any iintion
made by another animal.
"Duck down, ma'am," drawled Son-
ny unsteadily. "The roof drops there."
Janet nearly fell from the big
horse's back as he came to a halt in
what seemed a spacious chamber
"Hy mine guards are following
my trail," Janet brolce in anxiously.
"They'll get rid of the men who are
chasing us if we can elude•them a
iitt]o while longer."
"Yeah?" Sonny's tone was in-
describable. hut it at least implied
doubt. "Only, ma'am, :were Serried
in right now. There ain't any side
ways for us to turn off. We got
to go to my hangout. 'An' this morn -
in', riding back home, I found that
li'l thread I always stretch across
the trail was broke. I hunted for

hombres in my hangout now, wait -

He inspected his revolver thought',
fully. "I'm right much obliged for
Gunpowder," he said abruptly. I
res,'n y' didn't know what yuh was
dein' when yuh rid him this far."
The way swerved sharply here and
they were in a little. canyon with nre-
ciptous sides. practically blocked by
a monster rock slide from above.
Faint yells of rage came from far
behind.
They've found we've gone on,"
said Janet faintly.
"Yes'm" agreed Sonny grimly.
"They have. An' yuh see how, much
cover there is. There's my • hangout.
with Garcia's two hombres waiting
for me to walk in on 'em."
"They'll kill you!"
"That's the object." agreed Son-
ny. "l.Vfabbe they will!"
He rode in a leisurely fashion up
to the very mouth of a cavern' which
yawned at the base of the chaotic
rock fall. He dismounted and seem-
ed to make some minor adjustment
to his saddle. Janet's hand: went to
her throat.
"Please -oh, T don't want you to be
killed)"
Sonny lifted his head and smiled
curiously at her over the neck of his
mount. "Ma°aril," 'he' lsai<i gently,
"I got a lot o' reason to dislikeyoti
an' I ain't got a reason in the world
to love you. But somhow, I kinda
got an idea that there ain't any bul-
lets can kill me until you're safe
again."

through his .Stetson. A little later

MATERIAL THINGS CANNOT ,
ENDURE
We are building an Empire, we are
engaged in the greatest task to
which nsen have ever set their hands
and I would respectfully submit that
no empire can be built, or if built
can long endure, when founded on
material things alone. Immortality
can be won ,only by affairs of the
spirit. It is this simple truth, and
this alone, which leaves no pian in
doubt that the ideals which nourish
and inspire our Empire are the hope
and premise, as they will prove the
salvation of the world. In the early
days cf the world's human history it
is the predatory virtues which tt'i-
uuph; but in the long run it is the
simple virtues that will conquer and
prevail.—Lord Moynihan.
