Then Hal drove smart ly around a twist onto an outcrop of Jagged rock In the middle of the road: there was a bump, a crack, and, a ripping sound underneath. and with a lifeless sigh Rasputin rolled to a sedate, silent stop.

I think there may be something wrong with the car," said Kerrigan "Oh." said John. As Hal got out, he said to Kerrl-an, Kerrl-an, "How far d'you make It we've come from the highway T " Bout five miles," said Kerrigan. But It didn't look like the Pennsyl vania station there either, as I re call." "No," said Hal glumly. He squat ted down In the road to look under the car and saw a Jagged plate oi tin hanging ominously, under the front seat "Lord" he murmured and straightened to look back along the road. There lay the battery, In two pieces, near the torn remains of the tin box that had held It up. He walked back to It: It was efficiently wrecked, the bitter water already drunk down by the ground and the plates stuck over with grit Hal nudged a piece of tin with his toe when Kerrigan and Crack came up, saying: "Look at the flimsy thing. Should've noticed Jliat in Detroit 1 s'pose. D n It all, anyway." "It's a wonder that we're alive," said Kerrigan, dropping the dead cigarette end from hla llpa as be raised a fresh one.

"What's It liable to do out here at night?" said HaL "Bain? Get cold?" "Might get a little cooler," said Kerrigan, "but 'twon't rain. Be a line night." "We seem to be assuming we'll be here Into the night," said Hal. "How about bears and tigers?" "ot many," said Kerrigan. Hal looked at him and found his heavy face grave and respectfuL "What's upr "I'm sorry you've got things on your mind," Kerrigan said quietly. Hal took a long breath and smiled at him. "I s'pose that's one thing a mind's for," he said. Then: "I sort of thought I wasn't keeping it from you. And that helps, too. Colonel, I want to ask you about something later later, when If you'll let-'me." Kerrigan's heavy, somehow grace ful hand patted Hal's leg; he glanced off at the layered rampart of rock beyond the tiny railroad line, then down between his knees. "You keep after her," he said. Junes worm plenty. Ana u you want to talk, here I am.' The door on the other side of the car slammed and Barry, with Doc eagerly beside her, came round to them, watching them as if they were a pair of amusing children when they rose before her.

Is It beneath me. or something? some-thing? Wouldn't you shine my shoes If I asked you tor "Of course." "Well, then. Perhaps you didn't know you wear woolen socks, and woolen socks shrink If they're not carefully done." I didn't know that," said Hal. "Tell me more." I d tell you lots more," said Bar ry, "if you'd try to see my meaning, and remember It" "Barry, d'you think I forget any thing you say anything, even the first word you said to me, years ago. when you used to make me mad?" wen, wnat aia 1 say to you first?" said Barry, challenge cheer ing her eyes. "You said We were standing in that place, wherever It was you know that place, and you sald- o, signals off.

"There comes somebody." "It is somebody," Kerrigan mut tered in a moment looking at his watch. "He's been long enough. It's eleven." Impulsively Hal said, "It's not Crack," and wondered why he was so coolly sure. Barry looked around at him slow- solemnly. "How d'you know?" R. Mm.

That it was not merely to be of service he felt certain; cer-tain; yet Crack couldn't be afraid to stay out here. Hal was about to give his offer curt dismissal when Kerrigan said, "Sure, let him go." An authority In Kerrigan's voice subdued Hal's feeling he should do It himself, left him open to the thought of an hour or two with Barry, Crack nnd his covert knowledge, knowl-edge, his Indolent curiosity, removed. re-moved. They had the fella's bag and bis fare; and. . . . "All right," said HaL "If you won't start telegraphing and wag ing for answers again. Now, look." He made notes of what he wanted on the back of an envelope of Kerrigan's, Ker-rigan's, explaining each Item carefully care-fully to Crack. "Got money?" Crack smiled as If Hal's care amused him, and he said, "Yeah more n fifty dollars." "Right," ssld ,Hal. "Keep track of what you spend; and make It fast' aa you can." "Sure." said Crack amiably. He seemed for a moment to speculate on what UlttJcht be thinking of him. Then, moderately embarrassed, he said, "Well so long"; and be atarted back alone the duxty road, hla narrow, graceless figure, Incon gruous and small against the enor moua panorama beyond him.

"Can't say I love him like a brother, but he'll be all right" "Why, d-n him." said Hal sud denly, "it was this morning In Cheyenne he aaked If everything was all right so that we wouldn't get atuck." "Uta a right queer little man." The point la they're past stretch ing. Take my young friend Ireland with you, but let me have him back in good condition. And mind your pup; coyotes'll lead a dog till he's tired and then turn on him." "I wish you'd come," said Barry. "I wish I would," said Kerrigan, "but I won't I'll sit here thinking of old, old brandy, and I'll be younger young-er when you come back. Be off. If you run Into Hostylea, send me a line by one of 'em and I'll be at your side In a twinkling say, an hour and a half.' At the top of a little ridge to the westward,rfrom which they could look down the road where Rasputin waited, and see across to the moun tain range behind which the sun would set they slowed their pace and stopped. "That'a not a long walk," said Barry. "Long enough," said HaL "Rattlesnakes." "Rat-tlesnakes." "Oh, gosh I not really?" said Barry, Bar-ry, moving to him. He watched her without stirring his arms, smiling a little at her and to himself. "No." he said. T Just wanted you to come where I could touch you and then show you I touching the edge of sorrow, then evading It In a little sigh : "now I'm asKing you to let me wasn your socks." Hal and Barry had risen to watch the silent glory of the colora she with her back against him and ber handa clasped over his, the alow rhythm of her breathing under his touch. She took a faltering breath and let It go reluctantly; and Hal, his mouth near the faintly fragrant thicket of half-curls, whispered What?" She turned her head to look at his Hps, then up at his eyes, her look Ing Intimate, expectant; then ahe stood away from him and returned to the fading colors of the western sky. "Beauty " she said; "beauty to last forever, In a few minutes." He pressed her hand before he let It go, watching her. "I s'pose while we can find the way we'd bet ter go back," he said. "Some day. we'll never go back," With a limber bending of her body, she picked up her hat, and It swung between them in her hand as they started down It wasn't cool, but Kerrigan was THE STORY FROM THE OPENING CHAPTER Following- hi father erltlclim or hla Idle Ufa, and withdrawal of financial aislitance, Hal Ireland, ton of a wealthy banker, la practically without funda but with the promise of a altuatlon In San FranrUco, which he muat reach from New York at once.

His grinning llpa were stained at the corners and his bright, empty eyes watched the fire. not any of the three who were near to It "You folks stranded, 'ey?" he said cheerily In a minute. "Looks it," said Kerrigan. "Didn't see a fella go out to the highway and get a lift Into town, did you?" Hal said. "Late this after noon?" "No," said the man. "Last week I seen a feller get a lift out on the road. Coin' west, he was. But I mind these other folks was stranded there over t'other side.
