"Oh, but I will—aye, more. Til take
it. A dozen will do no h:irm. nnd no
scream from those lips will be heard.
You may as well be nice, my beauty."
r She was against the wall, helpless,
and the grip of his hands was like
steel. His breath was on her cheek;
his eyes burning with lust gazing
straight Into her own. Slowly, remorse
lessly, he bent her head backward un
til she feared tier neck would snap.
Into her terror-strluken mind leaped
the sudden conclusion that resistance
with this beast was futile; she must
outwit him with her bruins. Suddenly
relaxing herself, she slipped to the
granite floor on her knees.
"Please, please.' she begged. "I
give In, sem r, I give in."'
But as she spoke her right hand
closed about a square jagged bit of
rock.
"So. my pretty." sneered Caterns,
"you have learned tlmt Juan Cateras
is not a man to trifle with. It Is well."
And, releasitig his ^rip upon her, he
allowed the girl to rise.
As she stood there in the half light,
her pray eyes tlasning. her young
bosom rising and fulling, she was a
vaguely defined but alluring figure. So
Juan Cateras thought, and he took a
step nearer, his thick, red lips curling
with lust, eager to claim their rich re
ward. As they came closer Stella
Donovan stiffened.
"Look, senor," she whispered—"be
hind you!"
The Mexican in his eagerness was
off his guard. He turned to look, and
at that instant the girl drew back her
sturdy army and tnen brought it for
ward again witn ail her vigor. Cluk!
She heard the rock sound against her
oppressor's head, heard a low moan
escape his lips, and saw him sink slow
ly to the floor at her tvet.
The nest instant she was besldy him.
In terror lest she had killed him; but
a hurried glance, supplemented by her
fingers which reached for his pulse,
assured her that she hail only s«unned
her assailant. Witn deft hands tlmt
worked speedily In the darkness she
unstrapped from around his waist the
belt with its thirty-six cartridges and
revolver, then pulled from his pocket
the keys, not only to her cell, but, she
judged, to others.
The feel of their bronze coldness in
her hot hands brought a cpilck message
to her brain: beyond a question cf
doubt the missing Cavendish was con
cealed in one of the dark, dauk cell?
in the immediate vicinage. If not ac
tually in this same passage, then iu
another one perhaps not greatly dis
tant
Reaching beneath tier enter sKiri,
she jorkeil loose her white petticoat,
and then began tearing it into long
strips which she knotted together.
This doue. she bound Junn Cat eras,
hand and foot, and, with some diffi
culty. turned him over on his face
after fir-t thrusring into hi- half-open
mouth a gag, which she had fashioned
from stray ends of the providential
petticoat.
Then leaping to her feet and strap
ping the ammunition belt and revolver
about her waist, she stole oji tiptoe to
the doorway and peered out; the si
lent. cavernous passage was empty.
Llthelv, tike a young panther, she
slipped out of the cell and began mak
ing down, the passageway to a spot of
light which she judged to be Its open
ing. She had scarcely gone ten feet,
however, before she stopped short—
somewhere in the dark she heard a
voice.
What was to be done? Her temples
throbbed as the voices sounded nearer.
Then it came home to her—why not try
one of the other cells? Suiting action
to the thought, she stepped quietly
from the niche In the wall, moved
noiselessly along Its surface, and came
at length to another dungeon similar
to the one she had occupied, except
that it h'ad no window in Its oaken
door, fumbling with the bunch of
fifty fdd million dollars in the
North to build a railway to In
terior Alaska. Many have claimedl

Keys, sue iook the uisi one a»Ou!4S
which her fingers fell and thrust it I
hurriedly Into tlie lock. She strug
gled with it—turnlHH It first to the
left iind then to the right. The foot
steps were sounding nearer and near
er every minute, the voices were grow
ing louder.
Frantic, she gave tlie key a final des
perate twist, and a? a sigh of relief
escaped her lips the door swung open.
Slipping through the aperture, she
closed it softly after her and, panting
from excitement and her exertions,
turned and faced the recesses of her
hiding-place.
It was black, pitch-black, except for
n lone ray of light that struggled In be
tween the- heavy door and its* casing,
but ns Stella Donovan stood there in
the gloom she was aware that she was
not the only occupant of the cell. She
crouched back, gripped in the hands of
I another fear, hut the next moment her
alarm was lessened somewhat by the
sound of a soft, well-modulated voire.
"Who's that?" It said fainti;.
Then followed the repeated scratch
ing of a wet match, a flame of yellow
Ifcht. which was Immediately carried
to a short tallow candle, and in the
aura of Its sickly flame Stella Dono
van saw the face of a man with long,
unkempt beard and feverish eyes that j
stared at her as though she were an 1
apparition.
• As her eyes became more accus
tomed to the light she saw that the
stranger was a man of approximately
thirty, of good robust health. His hair
was sandy of color and thin, and his I
heard, which was of the same hue. had
evidently gone untrimmed for days,
i perhaps weeks; yet for all of his un
kempt appearance, for all the strange
ness of his presence there, he was a
gentleman, that was plain. And as
she scrutinized him Miss Donovan
thought she beheld a mild similarity in
the contour of the man's head, the
shape of his face, the lines of his body, !
to the man who several weeks be
fore. she had seen lying dead upon the |
floor of his rooms in the Waldron
I apartments.
"My God!" he cried In a high voice,
"I—I thought I was seeing things. Tnu
arc really a woman—and alive?"
Miss Donovan hesitated a moment
before she answered, wondering
whether to tell him of her narrow es
cape. This she decided to do.
"Alive, but only by luck," she said
in a friendly voice, and then recounted
the insults of Cateras. her struggle I
with him. and capture of his cartridge
belt and revolver, and how finally she
I had left hlr'u bound and gagged in the
| adjoining ceil. The man listened at
J tentively, though his mind seemed
slow to grasp d tails.
"But." he Insisted, unable to clear
his brain, "why are you here? Surely
you are not one of this gang of out
laws?"
"I am a prisoner. That is true of
you also, Is it not?"
' "Yes. I—I am & prisoner, although
I do not in the least know why. When
did you come?"
"Not more than two hours ago. Two
men brought me across the desert from
Haskell."
j "I do not know how f came. I was
i on the platform of an observation cat
i the last I remember," his utterance
j slow, as though his mind struggled
; with a vague memory, "talking with a
I gentleman whom I had met on the
iiraUi. There—there must have been
an accident, I think. for I never knew
anything more nntll I woke up here."
"Do you recall the name of the
man you were conversing with on the
observation car?"
He pressed his hnnd against his fore
head, a wrinkle appearing straight be
tween his eyes.
"I've tried to remember that," he
admitted regretfully, "but It doesn't
quite come to me."
"Was It Beaton?"
"Yes. Why, how strange I Of course,
he was Edward Beaton of New York.
He told me he was a broker. Why,
how did you know?" —
"It Is not so Rtrange," she said* at
last, "for your disappearance Is Indi
rectly the occasion of my being here
also. I believe I can even call you by
name. You are Mr. Cavendish?"
"Yes," he admitted, his hands grip
ping the bact of the bench nervously,
his eyes filled with amazement. "But
—but 1 do not know you."
"For the best of reasons," she an
swered smilingly, advancing and ex
tending her hand—"because we have
never met before. I am Stella Dono
van, a newspaper woman. Your
.strange disappearance about a month
ago aroused considerable Interest, and
I chanced to be detailed on the case.
M.v investigations led me to visit Has
kell, where unfortunately my mission
became known to those who were re
sponsible for your imprisonment here.
So, to keep me quiet, I was also ab
ducted and brought to this place."
"You—you mean It was not an acci
dent—that I was brought here pur
posely?"
"Exactly; you were traiiea irom
New York by a gang of thieves having
confederates In this country. I am un
able to give you all the details; but
this man Beaton, whom you met on the
train, Is a notorious gunman and
gambler, nis being on the same train
with you wus a part of a well-laid
plan, and I have no doubt but what he
deliberately slugged you while you
two wero aloue on the observation
platform."
"But—but," he stammered, "what
was his object? Why did those people
scheme to get me?"
"As I told you, Mr. Cavendish, I do
not know all the details, but I think
these men—one of whom Is a lawyer—
planned to gain possession of your for
tune, possibly by means of a fbrged
will; and. In order to accomplish this,
It was necessary to get you out of the
way. If either of us can escape from
this place we shall be In time to foil
them completely."
Tie sank down on the bench and
buried his face in his bands, thorough
ly unnerved. The girl iooked at him
a moment In silence, then touched his
shoulder.
"Look here, Mr. Cavendish," she said
firmly, "there is no use losing your
nerve. Surely there must be some way
of getting out of here. For one, I am
going to try."
"Miss Donrfvan," he said with grav
ity, "we are in the hands of desperate
men. We will have to take desperate

measures to outwit them, anil we will
have to make desperate breaks to ob
tain our freedom."
The girl nodded.
"Mr. Cavendish," she said with wom
anly courage, "you will not find me
wanting. I ara ready for anything,
even shooting. I do hope you're a good
shot."
Cavendish smiled.
"I have had some experience," he
said.
"Then," the girl added, "you had
better take the revolve:*."
"All right then; I'll go first, and you
follow as close as possible. There
mustn't lie the slightest sound made."
Cavendish thrust his head cautious
ly through the door, the revolver
gripped in his hand; Miss Donovan,
struggling to keep her nerves steady,
touched the coat of her companion,
fearful of being alone. The passage
way was dark, except for the little
bars of light streaming out through
the slits In the stone above the cell
doors. These, however, were sufficient
to convince Cavendish that no guards
were in the immediate neighborhood.
He felt the grip of the girl's fingers on
his coat, and reached back to clasp her
hand.
"All clear," he whispered. "Hurry,
and let's get this door closed."
