tightly bound, into the car. -One of
tlieni sat on each side of hint; Buck
took the wheel. He seized the, clutch,'
threw 'the car into 'gear, and they
started oft' down the -road at high
speed,
Buck was a 'reckless • driver. He
•
kept accelerationg the e s
sed
of the
car to its utmost. Snorting and rac-
ing furiously, they approached the. old
wooden bridge across the rive'•'. The,
warning sign on ,thebridge approach
read `Danger -;Speed limit over
bridges eight' miles per, hour,
Buck did not heed the: sign. He was
going at more than sixty miles an
- hour, andkept right an. The shaky
wooden bridge trembled and groaned
as the +`Heavy car plunged onto it .at
that veocity. As the car reached the
middle there was a •sonud'of•snopping
timbers, a crash. The old wooden
structure collapsed, dropping the car-
eening car into the water :below.
There' was one nearby, watching,
who saw the accident. It was. Komi,
the aid Yaqui chief,
Elle saw the men' struggling in the
water, each man for himself; to dis-
entang e.themsolves from the" wreck-
age. Then he easy three of them,
swimming desperately for the shore.
In the midst' of the circling ripples,
left by the plunge of the automobile,
she -suddenly saw a fourth head rise
to the surface, sputtering,_ then sink
again.
Komi ran to the end of the remains
of the bridge, watched for his head to
rise ,again, then lave in and swam
swiftly td the spot. Just as the head

Taggaat,' with half an ear, veiling
her interest in it.
Taggart went on:,
"I am afraid you will have to take

Mary showed signs of breaking
down under the burden of her
troubles - T allied her,:.
patted her,
app,or, and said: •
''There, there, Mary, we'll get you
out of all these troubles. Just depend

bent over'. her, his 'arm about her
shoulders and said: "And you know
why,-,Mary—because of what 1 have
been telling you day after day new—"
his voice` dropped -to a whisper as he
bent -close to her ear—"because 1 love
you."
He pressed her band, then rose and
spolce out loud again:
"Right now I'm working up the ap-
peal in your father's case, ' I shall
demand a new trial, and I think we
can get the verdict reversed and have
your father liberated." He beamed
upon her, with the.most winning smile
he could suntmon to his lips.

with surprise, and a pparrntT.ehock,
and he exclaimed:
"Good God, is that true?"
Inwardly be was exulting, but he
concealed his elation and affected a
tragic air. Mary eyed him with cur-
ious expectancy. After Iistehing a
minute or two more he hung up the
receiver and turned tie her. Stella
was now listening intently also.
Taggart he"ntated, , thinking, and
finally said slowly: '
"Mary—that was lav+ami, the - Old
Yaqui chief.' Hes been the
to
reach you with word that—thst—"
he paused that; the full effect of his
words -aright burst upon her—"that
O Itourke -is dead! he finally bon-
eluded. "
Mary, stunned, wild-eyed, useable
and• unwkilitng. to _relieve her ears,
slowly rose from her chair and stared
at Taggart,'
"Dee.d?" She repeated as in a trance.
"Terence O'RoatIce—dead."
Uncomprehendingly she .stared be.
fore her, a tragic figure. -Taggart
supported herin his arms. and tried
to explain.- Suddenly the full signifi-
cance of the words came, to her in a
flash. Uttering a pitiful cry she col-
lapsed in a dead -swoon,
Taggart, reclining her. into a 'chair,
signalled to Stella, who had been tak-
ing m the scene with interested eyes
and ears,, tobring,tvater.
Stella applied a wet hn.ndkerh.ief
to Mary's brow, and as she'redtved,
and Taggart •triedto
both Stella a gf; art con-
sole her with effected sympathy, Mary.
ignoring their words again r.alized.
what Taggart had told her, and broke
into agonized bobbing finally, con-
trolling herself with difficulty and at-
temptingt to regain her poise, she look-
ed 'at
ook-ed'at Taggart with tear-filled, eyes,
and faltered:
"What shall I do? I have no one,
soW—no one—but you."
Taggart's eyes gleamed covetously,
and he put his arm around the strick-
en girl and tried'. td comfort hoe..
Secretly ire was gloating in the satie-
faction, •that he was now ^ the sole
friend she"could turn to.
"I'm sorry, for your sake, that this
has happened, -Mary," he lied. "But'
you will; -find that 1,'dnr a friend you
can rely -upon, and as, you know, I am
only too glad'to.._do.everything in my
power for you."
Mary ' finally `sat up, still weeping,
trying to compose herself.
"I am stunned,-overwhelmed—there
are so many things," she said;. "Daddy
in prison -Terence dead --the ranch
slipping from us -my money gone-
oh, it seems so hopeless. I don't know
what to do." '
"Come, come, Mary," Taggart said
solicitously, "You're simply all un-
strung now. Go to the Bar M with

There was no breath st'frrieg in Ter.

Buck approached, kicked hint with his
foot, to turn him over. The limp body
rolled over, and lay still.
Komi spoke again:
"Leave binn body with Komi,
please," he said. "ITim's father Rennet
friend-llomi bury hint—where his
father sleeps." '
"No harm in that, I guess,",Buck
said grimly, Corning to his fellows.

The dripping men. separated, Buck
going his own way in a different di -

Komi watched carefully till all van-

Terenceis body, cut the rope which
bound his hands, worked his arias
vigorously, then bent over and listen-
eo to his heart.
"Maybe yet," he muttered "maybe

With renewed teat he started work-

tion.
