Rex entered into the spirit of the game With a zest known only to the hunter—an eagerness that is seldom reciprocated by the fugitive, be it man or beast, straining every muscle and nerve to escape.

He kept close at Bludsoe’s heels, and waved the torch above his head so that with the draught caused by this double movement, the flame hiss- ed and roared, and ate deeper into the

Still Jim Bludsoe ran on, and Rex would not allow any man to outdo him in an affair of this kind, no mat- ter where it led. That was the Scotch blood of his way-back ancest- ors again—he owed much that was wholesome in his disposition to those sturdy of brake and fen whom he was descended.

All the while they because the man them experienced an the mysterics terranean passage, on count of their avoiding obstacles he stumbled over, thanks to the light.

Now he could be seen very plainly —Rex even caught the look of dead- ly fear wpon his dark face as he twisted his head around in the en- deaver to discover whether they were still gaining. ;

Ho really felt sorry for the wretch, and yet, knowing what it meant for them should the Zambodi warrior escape to sound the alarm, and arouse the black impis within ten leagues of the sacred crater, he was just as determined as Jim to continue the mad race until it came to its tegitimate conclusion.

Twice he shouted to the fellow to stop and surrender, but his voice sounded like a trumpet blast in that narrow, ragged cleft, and appeared to only inspire additional terror in the fugitive, judging from the fresh spurt he took, fear lending him wings.

Bludsoe was almost ready to hurl his rope—he had begun to swing it around his head as if to give warning to Rex that he might keep his distance.

im such haste while before him yawned Whence arose a weird va- por that looked like a phantom smoke, together with a dull glare as of some fiery furnace far down in the bosom of the earth.

Rex saw and his heart was chilled with horror at the terrible choice thrust upon the fugitive.

To make the leap meant but one chance in ten of his reaching the op-

posite side, such was the width of the awiul chasm from which these

sulphurous fumes drifted, and should failure be his portion his flight to the gates of Hades must be rapid In- deed.

As the black with every

athlete stood there, muscle strained in an- ticipation of the fearful task before him, and with one foot drawn back to give impetus to his leap, he pre- sented a picture young Hastings could never forget to his dying day——a picture that has since graced the walls of a salon and aroused the most intense admiration for the mar- vellous look ol fear and resolution combined upon the black face of the sinewy Zambodi warrior.

Bludsoe was swinging his lariat with increasing power, as though it were his intention to wrap the reck- less spy in its coils ere he had a chance to launch himself forth upon such a haphazard mission.

He was too late to prevent it

Even while Rex was thus speaking the black warrior had been going through the most tremendous con- in an endeavor to maintain

whelmed him.

So he ceased his mad efforts, and toppled over into the abyss, to go plunging dow® into the awful depths

where inortal man could never’ des- cend and live.

But Jim Bludsoe was there, the man who had.handled a lariat since a lad, Jim Bludsoe, who while the

wretched »rave wildly endeavored to

maintain an equilibrium had rushed dangerously near the other edge, and giving his coiled rope a part- ing whirl, flung it out across’ the gulf.

As the man threw up his arms and fell back, Rex saw the noose had settled over his heaa and shoulders.

There was no time to see more, so rapidly did the unlucky devil shoot downward; and yet through the mind of Hastings flashed a sudden intense fear for his companion’s safe- ty, for Tm gim siuasoe heid the other end of the lariat, the quick shock, as the entangled human plum- met reached a perpendicular would be more than apt to drag him over the edge.

The cowboy, was

like this. He realized the even while casting his lariat, and the very instant its . noose settled over the shoulders of the staggering black, by a quick turn he made a couple of turns around a projecting spur of rock that fortune seemed te have placed for just such a purpose.

Then came a thud as of a Strained bass string on a violincello, instant- ly followed by a sharp, whip-like crack. Heavens! the lariat had not been equal to the strain—a sharp odge of rock, almost as keen as a knife blade as they afterwards dis- covered, had severed the _ tense strands—and the wretched athlete had gone down to eternity!

Rex crawled to the edge and look- ed over. What he saw made him sbudder. Far, far below he eeuld discover what looked like a small creek of red and yellow fire, though the clouds of smoke and vapor at times became so dnese as to utterly hide i¢ from mortal vision.

Jim Bludsoe looked grimly disap- pointed and it is to be feared was using some pretty strong language under his breath.

It was not on account of the poof cevil of a black he lamented,but the fact that the major portion of _ his trusty lariat had accompanied the fellow when he made that headlong plunge into the fiery Styx far be low. For a cowboy to be in the wilds without even an apology for a lasso, is something little short of a dire calamity.

At first he vented his abuse upon the rope, and loaded it with all man- ner of opprobrious epithets for prov- ing so treacherous,-until he snatched the torch from the hand of his com- panion and examined the rock around which he had snapped a couple of coils with such instantaneous rapid- ity, when of course he speedily dis- covered the true inwardness connect-

It was time they were getting fur- ther away from that terrible crack in the rocks, for so powerful was the sulphuric gas that crept out of the abyss that it choked them and they were almost overcome. ;

Upon reac@ing the main chamber of the temple, they found their com- panions awaiting their coming with no little anxiety.

They had plunged the treasure into the yawning mouths of the saddle bags, and disposed of the surplus about their persons, so that each and every one had a singularly corpulent appearance. As Rex and his com- panion emerged from the passage, they found Lord Bruno igniting one of Jim’s’ torches, as the flash-light powder had given warning that it Was about to- yield up the ghost, while the professor had crawled __in- side the hideous three-headed image and was Working its four arms, in the endeavor to discover how the fearful groaning sound was _ produc- ed.

Little Phil hovered near Lord Bruno, as usual, while Red Eric had climbed upon one of the idols and was busily engaged in a laudable en- deavor to punch the eyes of the image out, under the impression that they were composed of jewels.

The return of the warriors was greeted in a noisy fashion, for Lord Bruno gave a hearty English cheer, Red Eric waved his hat and let out a genuine whoop- such as was his habit when in mad chase of runaway cattle, and even the French savant worked the arms of the head god from his perch within, with the re-

Christian’s veins and must have been very demoralizing to the ignorant and superstitious fetish worshippers in the long ago.

Lord Bruno had seen enough. Now that Rex declared his mission to the temple satisfied they must quit these strange realms where the relics of a departed race held sway. Besides, Lord Bruno was filled with a most intense anxiety regarding the pros- pects of an interview with the mys- terious white god of the Zambodi.

Mania for Operations

among the Doctors. No Need of the Knife to Cure Pues. A Surer, Cheaper Easier Way, Dr. Chase’s Ointment:

Dread of the surgeon’s knife causes multitudes of people to suffer on year after year with piles, when they could be cured without risk, expense, or dan- ger of an operation by using Dr. Chase's Ointment, the only preparation ! guaranteed to cure any case of itching, bleeding, or protruding piles.

Rev. J. A. Baldwin, Baptist minister, Arkona, Ont., writes:—‘‘ For over twenty years I was 4 great sufferer from itching and protruding piles. I used many remedies and underwent three very painful surgical operations, all without cbtaining any permanent benefit. When about to give up in de- spair I was told to use Dr. Chase’s Oint- ment, and did so, finding relief at once. I used three boxes, and am almost €n- tirely cured. The itching is all gone. I have advised others to use it, believing it would cure them as it has me.
