The steady stream of thiv light was @ fixed fac tor, being held at such a posit as would cover the greatest amount of the dam face. Now Sim grade, gravel ng plant ite an Gage topped the crunching under his feet, a trifle out of breath with his climb, since the incline itself was a thing of magnificent distances, he saw the searchlight of the power dam begin a performance altogether new in his own experience. ‘The great shaft of light rose up abruptly to a position vertical, a beam of light reaching up in’ aky An Instant, and it began swing from side to side, It swung sharply clear against the bald face of the mountain at the farther end of the dam, It swept down the canyon itself, or to its first great bend.

Which had been more cruel, blindness or vision CHAPTER XXVII The Enemy The night wore on slowly night struck, and the cold of the mountain night had reached its maximum chill. To the ears of the weary patrols there came no sound mauve the continuous complaint of the| waters, a note rising and falling, in-| creasing and decreasing in volume, after the strange fashion of waters carried by the chance vagaries of the air, At times the sound of the river rose to great volume, again it| |died down to a low murmur, the} of a beaten giant protesting against his shackles. Came 2 o'clock in the morning, and the guards walked their beats with the weart ness of men who have fought off sleep for hours. Sim Gage, sleepless | s0 long, was very weary, but he kept about his work At intervals of half mm hour he crunched down the gravel-faced slope! of the bank which ran from the bench level to the foot of the dam. Here he wniked along the level ot the great eddy, along the rocky! shore, examining the fa of the vast concrete wall itself, ing alse } as he always did, with no special purpore, at the face of the wide and| long apron where the waters foamed | over, a few inches deep, white as| milk, day and night. Any attempt at the use of dyna-| mite by any enemy naturally would be made on this lower side of the dam. There were different places which might naturally be used by a |eriminal who had opportunity. One of these, concealed from the chance glance of any fficer, was back under the apron, behind the half- completed side columns of the «pill gate, where a great buttress came out to flank the apron. A charge lexploded here would get at the very |heart of the dam, for it would open the turbine wells and the spillway passage which had been provided for | the controlled outlet. Ragged heaps of native rock lay |along the foot of the dam, flanking | the edge of the great eddy eastward jot the apron. Here often the la borers stood and cast their lines for |the leaping trout, which, wearied by their fruitiess fight at the apro that carried them only up to the in- surmountable obstacle which reach: ed a hundred feet above them, some. times were swept back to seek relief in the gentler waters' of the deep eddy, that swung inshore from the lower end of the apron Sim Gage saw all these scenes, so familiar by this time, as they lay | half revealed under the blaze of the great searchlight, It all seemed safe now, as it always had before. But when at length he turned back to ascend to the upper level, he saw |something which caused him to stop just an instant, and then to spring into action, The power plant proper of the dam was not yet wholly installed, only the dam and turbine-ways be ing completed In the power house itself, a sturdy building of rock which caught hold of the immemo- rial mountain foot beneath it, only a single unit of the dynamos had been installed. ‘This unit had been hooked on, a# the engineers phrased j close, Mid voice | for | escape. jot his Springfield, allowing for he little rock house. ' “Halt! Who goes there?" he call-| ed out in # formula he had learned He got no answer, but be heard a thud as of a body dropping out of the window of the further of the house, against the slope of the wide jdam which lay above it | He ran around the corner of the little building, rifle at the ready, only to see a scrambling figure, bent over, endeavoring to reach the top jof the dam, where the smooth road from «ide to side of the gorge. ‘That way lay no The sentry was acroma yon der, and would soon return, This way, toward the east, a fugitive must go if he would seek any point of emergence from these surround. ings. “Haltt way great ran Halt, there! Halt, or I'l ifire™ cried Gage. “Halt!” He called it out again, once, twice, three times, But the figure, whoever or whatever it was, ran on. It now had reached| the top of the dam, and could be seen with more or leas distinctness, sky lined against the starlight and the gray sky behind it. Sim Gage, old-time hunter, used alt his life to firearms, waa used also to firing at running game. He drew| down now deep into the rear sight the faint light, and held “at the front} edge of the running figure as nearty as he could tell. He fired | twice and three times—rap'—rap!) rap'—the echo came from the n crete—at the figure as it crouched nd stumbled on.

In reality it was a China man, the cook and body-nervant of Waldhorn, engineer the power operations! He was dead. Sim stood looking down at he had done, trying in his fashion of mind to puzzle out what this man had been doing here, and at what slow y | Waldhorn » the | 1 THE SEATTLE STAR .

It was he who had given the searchlight signal and Dorenwald! He cou pled both names now again Sim Gage himself, having a short er distance to go than his comrades left his dead Chinaman, and started after the man higher up. He reach- ed the Waldhorn quarters slightly before the others . He heard the screen door of the log house slam, saw a stout and burly man step out, satchel in hand no man walked hurriedly toward a car which Sim ¢ had not noticed, since there was so much un used machinery about, wheel scrap ers, wagons, plows and the‘like. Now he saw that it was Waldhorn and Waldhorn’s car. He was taking ad vantage of this confusion to make his own escape. This hurrying fle ure halted for @ half instant in the dim light, for each side of him. was coming Sim Gage's summons’ rang Yonder was the man cape. He must not these things came to mind as he half raised his Weapon to hin shoulder, chal lenging again, “Halt!

But even as he did Waldhorn himself had fired with the heavy automatic pistol which he carried, ‘The bullet caught Sim Gage high in the chest, and passed thru, missing the spine by but little, He sprawled forward. Waldhorn’s body was no better than a sieve, for ho received the fire of the entire squad of riflemen who had approached from the other side, and so many bullets struck him, again and again, that they actually held him up from falling for an in stant Now the entire street filled.

All they knew was that the chief engineer had been) killed by the guard. Very weil, but who had shot Scout Gage? Sim Gage, looking up at the sky, felt the great arm of Flaherty, the foreman, under his head. ‘Easy now, lad,” said the bie man. “Basy. Lay down a bit, tll 1 have @ look. Where's the Docther, boys?-—Get him quick. “What's the matter?” Gage. “Lemme up.
