In the menntime, Liberty, who had made one effort to escape, when she rode her horse over a declivity, only to he eaptured again by the outlaws, wits blind-folded by Lopez, who paused milli his men at the Forked Trail. Willie doing this Liberty managed to fret her hands. and rt lively time fol- lows for a few moments. She fought with all her strength to break away front her abductor. In the struggle she dropped a small Ametican flag from her corsage and ripping the hand- kerchief from her captor's neck dropped it to the ground. All night long Rutledge and hte men rode, making very slow progress. As the sun hegnn pushing Its nose above the peaked Chihuahuas they errived et the Forked Trails. Old Pedro Was soine distance ahead, and, 1153 he etooped over the road those behind him suddenly heard an ex- clamation of delight. \See see!\ he shouted, as he limped hack to Rutledge. In his hand he car- ried a small silk American flag and a big red handkerehlef. \It looks as though we're on the right road,\ replied Rutledge. Just before midday Rutledge and his men sighted the outlaws. Almost nt the same moment Lopez and his men sttw the diminutive fig- ures of their pursuers ascending a mile or so below them. The leader dismounted and studied a huge rock which overhung them at that point. Then be gave instructions to one of his men, nful leaping into the saddle rode on, _followed by the rest.

Suddenly they heard a terrible, rumbling noise. owl, as they looked up the mammoth rock came tumbling flown the side of the cliff and landed squarely on, their trell. • \Pursuit here, even ou foot, is ime possible.\ said Rutledge. \This rock nuist be blown out of our way.\ Then . he turned to one of his tnen. \Bill go !melt to the hacienda and bring ittigi dynamite nod drills.\ By this time Lopez and Ills btind: \Here Polito, put your mistress on had rearresi it small . level spot, en - that horse with yon.\ direeted Lopez, closed en every side bY`litige bowlders . SECOND EPISODE Riding With Death. The man was Pedro. He had seen the figure of Tienda Berate, creeping cautiously from the rear of the house, where tite Mexicau quarters 'were, closely followed by Lopez, who (-riffled a lailth.r on his shoulder. They did not see him, find he quickly climbed onto the porch and crouched low in the deep shadows be- hind the ivy vine Hutt climbed the trellis -work. to the roof. Pedro had a suspicion that these Mexicans were up to something evil. He saw Lopez place the ladder against tlie roof, and then, without an other word, Tienda began clinibleg it. Presently he heard a noise on the roof, and then, as he partirdly raised himself, he wrts startled to see Tienda descending th'e ladder with the figure of a girl across his shoulder. \The he -dogs:\ he muttered under his breath, and, as the Nlexican reached the ground with bis loaf:, Pe- dro sprang from his hiding -place and closed fiogers around the throat of Tienda. But, he soon relaxed Ills hold.
