' He stopped the car before a 6MM.
It was an ordinary dwelling. There
was no sign of life about it. The
grass in the dooryard was a foot high.
Everything appeared unkempt. But
in the parlor window was a sign: To
let, furnished. Hernandet stepped in
|to the dooryard and peered into the
■windows.
"We'll let it furnished —free —for a
short time." he said.
He forced the door and entered.
"All the comforts of home," he said,
smiling, "fetch in the girl."
Back In the city, Neal. off duty once
Again, sought Annette at her hotel.
''She's gone again—alone," said Mrs.
Hardin, "she would go. She's so rest
less she couldn't sit still."
Neal smiled. He was not worried.
He got a saddle horse and started
Mff In the direction taken by Annette.
Back In the deserted furnished
{house Hernandez still looked about
him.
"We can hide here till doomsday,"
lie laughed, "running water, too. Look
4iere. Everything but food —every-
thing. Look —yonder on the mantel—
•even pen and ink. This place was
meant for us." He bowed low. "Ah,
my charming friend Senorita Iling
jton," he said to Annette who had re
covered consciousness and wa3 star
ting about her in astonishment, "you
have had a long sleep—and pleasant
idreams I hope."
He drew down the shades and
(switched on the light.
"See," he added, "you have slept
'till evening—pretty sluggard. And
how is your good health. No bones
broken. That Is well."
Annette did not answer. Suddenly
:she leaped to her feet.
"Joe," she cried, "Joe Welcher—you
here?"
'Tee," returned Hernandet, again
"bowing. "Joe is here —he has always
been here —with us. Joe Is our good
praena. we owe mm much —much."
He turned a sneering smile on Wel
cher. Annette uttered an exclamation.
"Joe —Joe," she cried, "is it —true?"
Joe turned away—hi# chest heaving, i
!his eye* upon the floor. "Aw, I'm no i
jgood," he muttered.
"Never mind, Joe, fair one." said !
'Hernandez. taking from his pocket a
'legal document already carefully pre
pared, "we have business at hand.
1 Ibis document —you should really
know what It contains. It Is in proper
shape. I assure you. A bit soiled per
haps. from long disuse In my breast
pocket—but well worded. Look —It is
complete. It Is even acknowledged
before a United States consul In Cen
tral America—acknowledged by you,
fair one."
"It is not," snapped Annette.
"Fair Inez here," went on Hernan
dez, "signed It Annette Illngton—the
consul was quite satisfied that she
was you. But —I have erased her sig
nature she lackß the cleverness
called forgery. And your signature
roay be on record somewhere —who
"knows. Comparisons are odious. Let
us therefore be complete. Take In
ihand a pen. my pretty. Sign your
name, over this erasure—opposite this
seal."
"I'll never sign," returned Annette.
"You will sign," said Hernandes
•evenly, "and you will hand over to us
all the evidence you have upon your
■person. Sign."
"No," said Annette.
"Well and good," went on Hernan
dez In honeyed accents. "Beast—*
thold her firm. Disobey and the lash
for yours." Hernandez took from his
coat pocket a piece of cord. He tied
,the ends together.
Despite her struggles he fitted this
(noose-like cord over Annette's head
and thrust Into it a piece of wood.
Then he began to twist.
"Tell me when you've had enough,"
lie said.
Like a stone from a catapult Joe
"Welcher hurled himself across the
room and was upon Hernandez In a
fash. Under the assault Hernandez
retreated violently to the wall, strik
ing his head against the mantel.
"Are you crazy, you—worm?" cried
Hernandez with a snarl.
"I've—turned," snarled Joe In re
turn.
Without waiting for breath he flung
himself once more at Hernandez.
"Help!" cried Hernandez. "Inez —
tackle this mosquito."
Inez was a valuable ally. She at
tacked Joe from the rear, and her as
sault was effectual. Her onslaught
was so severe that it caused Joe to re
treat. He did retreat until he faced
them both.
"Now," said Hernandez. And both
descended upon him. Joe was ready
for them. He seized a chair and
•whirled It about his head —frenzy lend
ing him violence and strength.
Jk "Come on!" he cried, "all three of
at once!"
With one wild final swing he brought
the chair crashing down on Hernandez'
head. No, not on Hernandez' head.
It fell short of that, but crashed on
'Something else —the chandelier above
, Hernandez' head.
There was a ripping, tearing, crack
ring sound—and then a crash. Down
icame the chandelier in a tangled heap
(upon the floor.
For one instant ther» was a cessa
tion of hostilities. The shades were
(down—the lights extinguished—the
troom plunged Into semi-darkness.
Annette watched in affright. Sud
denly a strange, familiar odor assailed
•her nostrils.
i "Stop—stop!" she cried.
But none heeded her. The Brute
I*UU held her fast. And Joe, In his new
[and ungovernable frenzy, was once
itnore at It with the chair, clearing a

Inoz and Hernandez before him Into

HIB chair whirling, touched a live
wire—from which the Insulation had
been torn. The wire, recoiling from
the blow, struck a piece of disjointed
gas pipe atill clinging to the celling.
Then —flzz—a spark—a multitude of
sparks. A pause—a second's pause.
And then the whole room, with a
mighty roar, burst Itself out into the
open air.
A horseman, speeding down the
straight road, heard the boom. He saw
the explosion. He spurred his horse.
He reached the wayside lane.
Joe Welcher, his head cut and
bleeding, was the first to revive. His
remorseful frenzy still lent him
Strength and energy. He sprang to
bis feet—looked for 'Annette. He no
ticed nothing else —save that the room
was wrecked.
He found Annette, picked her up
and carried her without. She was
■tunned, but practically unhurt. But
Joe didn't know all this. He had
killed her—he must bring her to life
again.
