StiIl flue;otioning the outcome of
this dubious venture, the stern-facetl
millionaire finally yiclled to Mar

flat-flooted individual shuffled into
view along the dusty road, the visor
of his cap pulled low over his malev
olent blue-jowled face and his beefy
fists jerking uneasily as he walked.
The woman in black turned to her
companions. and, indicating this un
gainly figure, spoke rapidly.
'1 have every reason to believe that
man has kept faith with me, and if I
am right I shall be able in a few min
ultes to place in your hands the proof
of which I spoke. But if there should
be treachery I aish to face it alone.
You will find that the harness room in
the loft of the barn has a strong tdoor
with heavy bolts. Please wait for me
there, and at the first sound of trou

"'This sounds lik' a trap." returned
the millionaire, with emphatic disap

So far everything had gone in ac

feeling that victory was within her

The gunman's words were sudldenly
c!ipp'-d short by the sharp crack of a

a moment he swayed unsteadily on

startled vision of his comlpanion came

alore the highway, the evil face of
Legar plainly discernible as he leaned
far out from the swaying vehicle.

lose'. SuIatIl hling the crimson-stained
paper from under the limp holdy of
the slain gunman, the woman ran
swiftly toward the old barn, reaching
that sanctuary jlust as Legar and his
confederates swarmed out of the
limousine in hot pursuit. Through the
sagging portals and up the rickety
stairs sh .larted. the wa'ftish lack
close at her heels. For a brief instant
she surveyed her surroun,! ngs lie

father had taken refuge in accordance
with her instructions. and she must in
no way jeopardize their safety.
Close by a broken window, over
looking the depths of the rocky
gorge. stood a shabby old-fashioned
trunk. It took but a moment for the
harried fugitive to scramble into that
ancient receptacle. but even as she
lowered the cover Legar and his
benchmen stormed up the narrow
stairs. The quick eye of the master
crook caught the movement of that
closing trunk cover. Grinning with
unholy exultation, he turned to his
unsavory crew of followers.
"Take that trunk and throw it out
