To the girl it was an eternity be- fore the moon peered through the tops of the tangled cedars. Trees and brush began to take shape. Mercedes went on. She found a tiny spring trickling to her right. She wet her lips with its water and followed its course. Scor. she caught the beat of waves. She had come out to the shore of the lake. She cried out with new courage. Her voice rolled over the water to the cove where her brother lay.

The'echo of that cry in the awful stillness decided him to tarry no long- er. He cupped his hands to his light- ed match, and the long fuze began to sputter. The wind at his back was strong and steady. A healthy push, and the raft with its deadly load float- ed away across the silvery water. He did not wait to speculate on the success of its errand. He had had hours of that. Before long he was dashing for the buttes, intent only on reaching the valley. His going brouht no sound to the girl. The mooe had given her her bearings, an keeping ever within sight of the lake, she stumbled to the north, dragging her tired body to new tortures. A glowing pin -point of fire moving across the water caught her attention. Its even, unhurried flight fascinated her. It was beautiful, un- real, ghostly. But as she watched it, the raft moved out of the shadows of the opposite shore into the full light of the moon. She knew ,vhat it was then, even before the wind had sent it close enough to make recognition possible. The truth left her strangely unmoved. She even found herself admiring the cleverness of the men who were re- sponsible for it. They had schemed well to beat Acklin! The never -halting approach of the raft, the black bulk of the mine rising ftom its surface, the glowing fuse held aloft as if it were a light at a masthead, brought no cry from her lips. This was the thing she had come to stop. It carne so close to her that she could hear the sputtering of the fuse. An eddy sr a whim of the wind caught the raft then and sent it away from the shore. She could not swim a stroke. Just what she intended to do she did not know; but she knew she could not reach it, riding along as it was, fifty yards from the bank. She found, however, that she kept abreast of it as she followed the margin of the lake to -ward the dam. This was all very well for a time, but as shs came to a cove that cut back into the hills she began to de- spair. By the time she had got around it, the raft would be far ahead. But without looking back she started on the attempt. She had not made more ,VERY bird lover needs Brock's Famous nook on • Birds, the accepted authority on the care and treatment of birds.

If it bad been a liner making pert the Taft could not have turned more accurately and headed inose directly for the little cove on the shore of which she stood, Mercedes var, toward it. She saw its speed slacken. Then cane a second when it seemed to stand still, The next minute the current was moving it back into the lake.. Without stopping to ask herself what she would do, or how she would get back to the land if she were once on the raft; she jumped for it. The force with which she landed was i n- petus enough • to send it bobbing through the water until the cove was yards behind her. She scrambled to her feet and with her boot -heel ground the coal into ashes. She lurched toward the centre of the logs, her arms lowered to help her- self to a sitting position, when a screpin was wrung from her. The glowing coal that she had stamped into the cedar was gone, but in its place rose a blaze a foot. high! A little trickle of oil had seeped beck to where she had crunched the end of the fuse. The wind had fanned an unseen spark•of life. The flames were mounting higher and higher, senting ..out greedy ton- gues that licked at her bods. In a rage of helpless impotence,•she raised her torn hands and struck and beat the iron thing before her. The cuts on her knuckles and fingers bled afresh, but she was fast losing the power to feel pain. Salty tears ran into the corners of her month. From her lips carne a wild, almost insane cry. • CHAPTER XXVIII. Esteban was coining to the higher ground where his trail turned to the south when he heard a horse whinny. He had to put his hat over his mount's nose to keep him from answering. The other horse called again ; nearer this time. The boy did not wait. He wheeled and galloped back over the path he had just come from. When he had retraced his way some two miles, he turned to scan tho lake far below him. His pulse jumped as he caught sight of the flaming logs; now so near the dam that from where he watched it seemed they must strike any minute. What had gone wrong? What had set them afire? Had his companions been caught by the Double A nien? Esteban moved highed up to wait for the explosion. In the confusion resulting from it he intended to snake another dash for Webster Creek. No meter where Romero and Bodine were they must be counting the seconds even as he. And while he waited the Double A men. from Disaster Peak to the Bull's Head, kept their watch, unaware of the danger that was sweeping down upon them. Kildare alone, of all Ack- lin's riders, moved nervously about. Blaze had not forgotten his talk that morning with Mercedes. Esteban's mysterious trip, coupled with Mor- row's belief that trouble was brewing, seemed to argue more than mere coin- cidence. He was within a quarter of a mile of the water when he caught the first dim reflection of the burning raft. From where he stood the fire seemed to be on the other side of the canon. He could not see the lance itself, but the faint red tinge in the sky moved. By that he knew that something was burning on the water. There wasn't any timber -of any sort east of the dam. He sent My Man into a gallop.. In kaleidoscopic fashion he saw the mine; the petrified girl shielding her face from the flames; the dans twenty yards away. He cupped his hands, and called to her. He did not stop to ask ho* she came there. He only say the leap- ing flames, and guessed the intent of the black thing that bulked r the surface of the raft. Nothing could save the dam. It was doomed! A minute or two, and it would be a1: over. Jumping to her rescue would not help, If he ran out -on the dam both of them would be killed or swept away and drowned. He called to Mercedes; but she barely moved her head. Blaze called again. That voice! It seemed to come from leagues away; a phantom voice! Kildare saw that she dill not move. He cried out again. The wind whip- ped the sound of it behind hint. But the girl looked up. She saw him and raised her hands. Blaze jerked his reata from his .saddle -horn and ran to the very edge of the bank, "Take of your skirt," he cried, "and wet it and wrap it around you. Catch any rope when it chops." Mercedes nodded her stead. The raft was within ten feet of the dam as his reata began to play through his fingers. Seconds—they are hours sometimes —were droning by as his nope circled lower and lower. There wouldnever be time for another trial. He had to make it now! There was n., room for a miss.
