Sanchez faced about with one spring, gnarling, a weapon'in either hand In the terrible ‘silence they could hear something heavy floundering in the bushes, choking, moaning, thud- ding on the ground Sanchez began to creep back; Sard, more dead than alive, crawled at his heels Presently they saw Quintana, walist deep in juniper, looking down at something And when they drew closer they saw Georgiades lying on his back under a cedar, the whole front of his shirt from chest to belly a sopping mess of blood. There seemed no need of explana- tion. The dead Greek lay there where he had not been expected, and his two pistols lay beside him where they had fallen. Sanchez looked stealthily at tana, who said softly “Bien sure. pocket, I believe.” Sanchez laid a cool hand on the dead man's heart; then, satisfied, rummaged until he found Georgiades’ share of the loot Sard, hurriedly displaying a pair of clean but shaky hands, made the division. When the three men had siliently Jocketed what was allotted to each, Quintana pushed curiously at the dead man with the toe of his shoe “Peste!” he remarked. “1 had pla for security, a ver' large dia- mon’ in nfy-pistol barrel.

Sunchez shook his head with a slight sneer: “We wait—if you want your diamond, mon capitaine.” Quintana hesitated, then made a grimace and shook his head. “No.” he said, ‘“he‘ has Let him digest. Allons! March!™ But after they had gone on—two hundred yards, perhaps—Sanchez stopped. “Well?” inquired Quintana.

Banchez.” Sard gazed at Sanchez out of sick- ened eyes. “You keep away from me until you've washed yourself,”" he burst out, revolted. “Dcn’t you come near me il you're clean!™ Quintana laughed and seated him- self. Sanchez, with a hang-dog glance at him, turned and sneaked back on the trail they had traversed. Before he was out of sight Sard saw thim fish out a Spanish knife from his hip pocket and unclasp it. Sanchez made no effort to find them. They had been gone half an hour before he had finished the busi- pess that had turned him back As he stood there, clothing, and washing what he could of the ominous stains from sleeve and shoe, very far away to the north he heard a curions noise—a far, faint sound such as he never before had heard. It it were a voice of any sort there was nothing human about it i Probably some sort of unknown bird. Y Perhaps a bird of prey That was natural, considering the at- traction that Georglades would have for such creatures. If it were a bird it must be a large thought. Because there was a certain volume to the cry. Per- haps it was a beast, after all Some unknown beast of the forest Sanchez was suddenly afraid Scarcely knowing what he was doing he beggn to run along the edge of the bog. ; He was tired, or thought he was. but the alarming sounds were filling his ears now; the entire forest seemed Rheuma Conquers Rheumatism People who have heen rheumatic | sufferers for years—yes, even so crip- pled that they were unable to help themselves——have been brought back to robnst health through the mighty power of Rheuma Rheuma acts with speed: it often brings in a few days the relief you have longed for.

Half a mile down the turbulent outlet of Star Pond-—where a great sheet of green water pours thirty feet into the foam below—and | spinning, dipping, diving, bobbing up like a lost log after the drive, the body of Senor Sanchez danced all alone in the wilderness, spilling from ! soggy pockets diamonds, sapphires, | rubies, emeralds, into crystal caves where only the shadows of slim trout stirred. Very far away to the eastward Quintana stood listening, clutching Sard by one sleeve to silence him i Presently he said: *“My frien’, somebody is hunting with houn's in this fores’ | “Don’t leave me!" gasped the ter-| rified diamond broker, “I don't | know where to go—" | Quintana faced him abruptiy—with | tossing SANCHEZ TURNED ABOUT AND SNEAKED BACK ON THE TRAIL | THEY HAD TRAVERSED. a terrifying smile and glimmer of‘ white teeth-—and shoved a pistol into the fold of fat beneath Sard's double chin “You hear those dogs? well; T also. un now, 1 say to you run ver’ damn quick. He! Houp! Allez vous en! Beat cet!" He struck Sard a stinging blow on his fleshy ear with the pistol barrel, and Sard gave a muffled shriek which was more like the squeak of a fright- ened animal. “My God, Quintana-—" he sobbed Th Quintana’s eyes blazed murder: and Sard turned and ran lumbering through the thicket like a stampeded ox, crashing on and amid withered brake, white birch scrub and brier, not knowing whither he was headed, crazed with terror. Sard could not run very far. He could scarcely stand when he pulled up and clung to the trunk of a tree. More dead than alive he embraced the tree, gulping horribly for air, every fat-incrusted organ laboring, his senses swimming. And now, directly ahead, he saw clear gray sky low through the trees. The wood's edge! He began to run. As he emerged from the edge of the woods, waist-deep in brush ahd weeds, wide before his blood-shot eyes spread Star Pond, FEven in%hie half-stupified brain there was memory enough left for! recognition. He remembered the lake. His gaze traveled to the westward; and he saw Clinch’s Dump standing below, stark, | silent, the doors swinging open in the wind And after a long while he ventured to waddle nearer, slinking through brush and frosted weed, creeping be- hind boulders, edging always closer to that silent house where nothing moved except the wild-blown door. | And now, at last, he set a furtive foot upon the threshold, tip-toed in, peered here and there, sidled to the dining room, peered in | When, at length, Emanue! Sard dis- covered that Clinch's Dump was ten- | antless, he made straight for the pantry.
