“You're a coward, Moran, a white-liy-

Ill get out of here somehow, and
when I do—by Heaven, I'll torner you,

“Still, Lseem to be holding four aces
now,” Moran grinned back at him.
“And the cards gre stacked.”

Left alone, Wade rolled himself a
clgarette™ from his scant hoard of to-
bacco. Already he was hungry, for
deep* shadows in his prison marked
the approach of ‘night, and he had the
appetite of a he Ithy man. The
knowledge that he was to be denie&

; Sea reely enough tebacco left. for a
dozen cigarettes, which was less than
his usual daily allowance.

On searching his pockets, in the
hope of finding a second s: of Dur-
ham, he chanced upon his clasp-knife,
and viewed the find with joy. Tite
thought of using it as a weapon did
not impr¢ss him, for h?§ captors would
‘keep out of reach of such a toy, but
he concluded that he mighty possibly
use it to carve some sort @f foothold
in the rock. The idea of ciitting the
granite was out of the question, but
there might be strata of softer stone
which he could dig into. It was &
forlorn hope, in a forlorn cause, and it
preyed futile. At his first efforg the
knife’s single blade snapped off short,
and he thfew tlre useless, handle away.

Darkness felSome time before the
cool night-air penetrated the fissure;
when it did so the cold seemed like-
ly to be added fo his other physical
discomforts. In ‘the higher’ altitudes
the nights were) distinctly chilly éven
in mid-summer, ang he had gn only a
light outing shirt, ove his waist.)
As the hour grew Tate, the cold in-
ceased in severity until Wade was
forced to walk up |and down his nar-
row prison in the effort to keep warm.
He hag just turnéd to retrace his
steps, On one such occasion, when his
Wars caught the soft pat-pat of a foot-
fall on the ground above. He in-
Stantly became motionless and tense-

: \ly alert, wondering which of his en-

emies was so stealthily returning, and
for wi at reason.

He thought it not “unlikely that
Moran had altered his purpose and
come back to shoot him while he slept.
Braye though he was, the {dea of be-
ing shot down in such a manner made)
his flesh crawl. Stooping, he picked
up a fragment of rock; although he
realized the futility of the weapon, it

vas all he had. Certainly, whoever

prroached was madving with the ut

most stealth, which'argued an attack
of some kind? Drawing back the
hand that held the stone, the cattle-
man shrank into a corner of the fis-
sure ani waited. Against the starlit
sky, he had an excellent view of the
opening aboye him, and possibly by a
lucky throw the stone would serve
@gainst one assailant, at least.

The pat-pat-pat drew nearer and
stopped, gt last, on the extreme edge
of the holt. A low, iong-drawn sniff
showed that this was no human en-
emy. If the sound had been louder,
Wade would have guessed that it wa
moade by a bear; but as it was
guessed the prowler to be a mountain-
lion. He had littlefear of such a
beast; most of them were notorious
cowards unless cornered, and when
presently & pair of glowing eyes peer-
ed down into the fissure, he hurled
the stone at them with all his might.
Jiis aim was evidently true, for with
a snarl of pain the animal~drew back.

But just as amongst the most paci-
fic human races there are some brave
spirits, so amongst the American
lions there are a few Which possess all
the courage of their jungle brothers.
Actuated by; overweening curiosity, or
else by a thirst for blood, the big cat
returned again and again to the edge
ofe the hole. After his first throw
Wade was unable to hit the beast with
a stone, although his efforts had the
tempora) effect of frightening it.
Gradually, fhowever, it grew bolder,
ahd was restrained from spwinging
upon him only, as it seemed, by.some
sixth sense which warned it of the
impossibility of getting. ont of the fis-
sure after once getting in. Baffled
and furldus, the lion sniffed: and
prowled about the rim of the hole un-
til’ the ranchman began to think it
would surely leap upon him.

knife and r this to happen.
The shattered blade would be of lit-

Dorothy obeyed her mother’s wish,]

she was a splendid housekeeper and a
dutiful daughter, but there are limits
to human endurance: She mixed the

digal waste that her mother had ty
