He thought he was still conscious, for his heavy eyelids quivered, but ne lay there, a dead weight. Swiftly, cautiously, Sherwin wound the rope around his bjdy and made it secure under the armpits, balancing himself on a foothold so narrow that a touch might hurl him down. Then, grasping the slack of the rope, he began to climb. The ledge seemed a thousand feet above him, but, at last, he lay on Its brink, gasping. He heard sounds now other than the cataract, the crashing of boughs, voices! He took no heed of them, for, as he rose to his feet, he saw the tree that supported Stenhart go down and the motionless body swing out on the end of the rope. Sherwin H t n f braced himself and began to haul him up by main strength. Slowly, aurely, he drew his enemy out of the abyss, steadied him at the edge of the rock, brought him safe over and laid him down. His own muscles ached and his head swam, but Stenhart still breathed. He opened his eyes and looked up in Sherwins face. Sheer terror leaped into his eyes, but he was spent, helpless; his white lips moved, but only one word came in a whisper. Water! A mountain spring was trickling close at hand, and Sherwin cupped the water in his hands and wet his face and lips, and again Stenhart tried to speak; but, as his rescuer bent to listen, heavy hands fell upon him and there was a shout of triumph. Get him, sheriff!" Sherwin, on his knees beside the injured man,, looked up to find the posse closing in. He shook off the man who had grasped him and rose to his feet just as Jim Keller panted up the trail. Hold on, Cutler! Jim cried, that man saved Stenhart I saw him at the risk of his own life! Aint taking no chances, Mr. Keller. Here you, Adams, you handcuff him; hes the man were after!" Sherwin offered no resistance; he submitted with an iron composure. He had thrown away his liberty to save Stenhart I reckon he can walk, after all, said the sheriff. How you feeling now, Mr. Stenhart? Stenhart tried to stand upright, but his eyes had met Sherwins and his mouth went dry. He wet his Ups, shaking all over. Wed better carry him, said Jim. Cheer up, old chap, youre sound, no bones broken! I can walk, said Stenhart thickly, leaning heavily on Jim. The ledge is mighty narrow; can you manage without help. Mr. Keller? The sheriff was solicitous for the man who had helped him make his capture. Oh, well do! Jim threw a supporting arm around Stenhart. It was on the tip of his tongue to tell the men to go ahead with the prisoner and bring help from the ranch and a car for the injured man, but he remembered Jane; he must go first himself. The thought impelled Jim to look back at Sherwin, and some- thing in his white face made him recoil at the sight of his bound hands. He beckoned Cutler to him. Is it necessary I mean, those handcuffs? By Jove, I saw what he ma; hes a brave man! The sheriff nodded grimly. Cant take chances, Mr. Keller, hes a swore he was goin to kill Stenhart I aint so d clear mnt what he meant to do with him anyways he had him all trussed up with that rope! They began the descent slowly. Jim, supporting Stenhart, went ahead; behind came the sheriff, men the men bringing Sherwin.

The sheriff came next; Sherwin, he knew, was last with his guards. Overhead the trees locked their branches now, and a dense thicket surrounded them. They could hear the cataract less distinctly, but the rush of wind in the tree-top- s made a tumult. Jim, steadying Stenhart, spoke slowly in his ear. I saw you you and Sherwin, he said quietly. I was out in the road; theres an opening in the trees one glimpses the ravine. How did you come to fall in that way. Max?" Stenhart roused himself; he lifted his head and tried to meet Jims questioning eyes, but he wavered and gasped. I he was going to kill me! he said weakly; that was it. I remember now, Sherwin was going to kill me. Stenhart passed his hand over his eyes with a groping gesture. I cant understand it, he muttered; he was going to kill me he hates me!
