With masculne fatuity ha let himself believe before she went away Ithat a man can got more work done with,, his goddess afar than when Cupid has a desk in Ins office. It did not tako more than thirty-six hours to turn separation into bereavement; not more than forty-eight to utTHO.shrdlu hr more than forty-eight to turn his "freedom for work" into slavery to the ndget3. The office, instead of a refuge, became a prison to him. He preferred to be at home, where the air was tinctured, the walla vital with memories of Her. However, he made a pretense of sticking to the grind, and it was not until the Thurs day on which his chartings snowed Pauline would arrive at Rockvale that he actually quit and went home.

As he sat in the great leather chair and unfolded a news taper, the portrait cf Pauline smiled bright- y 4awn..&LJum in seemwg camaraderie. .At . lis side stood the Mummy so intimately Associated with her and his dead foster lather's strange vision from the tomb. Harry began to read, but he was still nor ms to the point of excitement, and his Noughts wandered from the words. He was uddenly conscious of another presence in he room. He let the paper Jail and gaied Intently at the portrait lie had not looked toward the Mummy, nor seen that from the ancient casement of death the dead had stepped to guide him. But a moment later, Harry Marvin sprang excitedly from the chair and fairly leaped towards the picture. From somewhere out ot the dim air ot the library a hand had reached and touched his. It had touched his shoulder and then, with a commanding finger, had pointed upward at the picture on the wait The Mummy It has warned again," gasped Harry. "Polly, Polly!" he cried to the portrait.

Have a ma chine ready for me In fifteen minutes," Even Bemis's constitutional aversion to haste concealed itself in the fiery vigor of Harry's orders. He sped into the hall, call ing to the valet, as Harry picked up a tele phone - "Hello, this ts H. B. Marvin. I want our Private car attached to the Chicago flyer," tie said.

A law yer tells Owen that he would have per manent charge of Pauline's estate If some thing should happen to her before mar rlage. Hicks, a racetrack man, and Owen conspire to kill Pauline. The preceding chapters have dealt with the many efforts, . of the two to accomplish this. In Pauline's latest adventure she goes West to visit friends. Owen and Hicks have her atolen by villainous gunmen who thruat her into a cave to die. A tribe of Ir.diana living near the eavs are awaiting the appearance of a queen, who It haa been predicted, will appear from the earth and lead them In victorious war against the whites. How Pauline escapes from the cave and Is. mistaken for this pro phetess Is told in ths following Instalment. As be reached the door ot the machine, a messenger boy turned up the steps. Harry called to him, took the telegram and read Mrs. Haines' message: "Pauline kidnapped; come at once." With a muffled ejaculation, he dropped the slip of paper and sprang into the car, which in ten minutes pulled up to the station just as the disgruntled, but curious trainmen were coupling the luxurious Marvlnia to the eignteen-nour express, Owen coming quietly down the steps ot the Marvin house, picked up the telegram which Harry had let fall. Reading it. he smiled, and he was still smiling when an other messenger boy followed him to the door. Owen took the second message and the smile broadened into an ugly grin as he read: , Raymond Owen, Fifth avenue. New Tork. All's well. Hicks. These were the things that were happen ing in New York at the moment when Pauline emerged from her prison-cave. As the thrilled and frightened Indian lay prostrate at her feet, he might well have believed her to be some creature from an other world. Her face was very pale and round It fell In tumultuous glory the cascades ot her golden 'hairHer dress w'aS"torntd shreds by the Jsgged rocks and there was blood upon the delicate hands that she held out in pleading to the only living thing she saw the redman. He did not move. She stepped nearer and, stooping, gently touched his shoulder. At the touch be trembled like a leaf, but raiBed his head and looked at her with ter ror and awe and adoration in his eyes. "Won't you help met I have been a pris oner in the cave. I must find Mr. Haines .Haines, do you hear? or go to Rockvale Rockvale," she repeated, hoping that the names at least he might understand. He motioned questioningly toward his horse, and. at her nod, he sprang up and brought the animal to her side. Helping her to mount,, he took the bridle and began to lead the way into the thickly wooded hills The journey was slow and arduous, but it was not long. Darkness had not yet fallen when the hill trail dipped into a valley, and Pauline's weary, hopeful eyes looked down upon a village on the plain. The hope vanished quickly as the realized that the houses of the village were toupees and that the forms that moved among them were the forms of braves and squaws. An Indian boy of perhaps twelve years sprang suddenly from a thicket beside the trail, gave one glance at ber, and, with a shriek, set oft at full speed toward the teepees. Pauline could hear his cries still echoing back as be ran into the village. Suddenly through the mist of misery and weariness that dimmed her eyes, she saw scores of dark faces moving about her. Cries sounded and resounded from the hills. Tom toms were beating. She became aware that the Indiana worn rv White Queenwore a mien ot pride and tri umph, even as he bow ed low before Pauline. But of all the red folk In Bhl-wah-kl Tillage, Big Smoke was un doubtedly the most amased at the fulfil ment of bis prophecy. The braves who were ' assigned to lift Paul ine from ber horse and bear her Into the Chiefs teepee were sur prised that one Im mortal should be so weak as to almost fall Into their arms, so weary as to be scarce ly able to walk. ' But Pauline, sealed upon s blgh pile of furs with in the teepee, whero Ihe weird light of fire fell upon her pallid features and her flow Ing hair, presented ft picture strange and marvellous enough to tho eavsge eye. Tbey gathered around her, Ked Snake and tbo medicine maa In the centre of the adobe, the loser chiefs be hind them, an". In en- mi a .'1 Stone ot Death. other circle the ranks of the braves. Even In her utter exhaustion, the savage solemnity of the gathering fascinated Pa line. Had she been left alone she would have sunk into deep sleep upon the piled furs,' but this low muttering, grim-visaged assemblage of the red men forced her to re- ' spectful attention. That they honored her, she understood; but she saw, too, that, the Indians were all armed and some of them were painted. As Red Snake arose to ad dress the tribe a menacing murmur filled the teepee and the young chiefs whetted their knives upon the ground. Red Snake's harangue, unintelligible to Pauline, had an electrical effect upon the In-, dians. Frequently as he spoke he turned toward her and always when he did so he bent his head upon his breast and raised his mighty anna in token of submission to a power mightier than his own. As he finished, Pauline arose, swaying a little from her great weakness. She shook vher head in token that she did not under stand. Her outstretched, pleading hands bewildered, but Bubdued the warlike assem bly. - Red Snake called a ringing summons, and from the rear circle of the audience shuf fled forward the strangest man Pauline had ever seen. His undsrsized, stooping form was garbed In a miner's cast-off red shirt, a ranchman's ex-trousers, a pair of tattered moccasins and. a much-dented derby hat, with a lone feather in the band of it. It was White Man's Hat, a halt-breed Interpre ter. As he approached, cringing and bowing, Pauline noted that a penetrating, not un- kindly eye alenmed from under his brushy ,'brow, scrutinizing her in flashes between his obesances. Unlike the other Indiana, ne was not afraid to look the Great White Queen in the face, as ha solemnly repeated the last words of Red Snake: . "According to the prophecy, you have come from the heart of the world to lead us against those who steal our land." raj'.lne stood lor a moment in compiio wrth? gathering, flnshed upon her mind, sne iook a step forward, speaking in earnest proiesi. Rut. she BDoke only to the Chief, for the Indians had broken all restraint and were crushing their way out of the teepee, with cries and brandishing of weapons. They swept the little interpreter with them. And Red Snake saw in Pauline's look and tone of appeal only the pleading ot a wronged goddess for vengeance upon her enemies.- He called the women of his household, who shyly led the Queen away. .... Darkness had fallen as the women glided ahead of her to a spot outside tho main vil lage, where a spacious teepee had been erected apart. Only a peaceful moon and a firmament glittering with stars lighted . their path. But from the town behind came terrifying yells, the rattle of tom-toms and occasionally a rifle shot as the braves pre pared their spirits for the test of battle. Pauline found her new home laden with all the luxuries and sacred relics of the tribe. There were rugs richer than those in the Chief's house; tbo walla weru festooned with strung beads, and on the large, low couch of bear skins lay the most splendid of Indian raiment. The women, with hetter understanding than men of the earthly needs of Immortals, made her He down, whilo they bathed her aching temples and wounded hnnds, re placed her torn garments with a gorgeous blanket robe and smoothed her flying tres ses Into long comfortable braids. Other women came bringing food fish, blackened by the open flnme, but fresh and - veet; venison and cakes ot meal and mrly berries. And there was n pipe and a pouch of agency tobacco with which the goddess might soothe the hours before re pose should she feel inclined. Pauline ate eagerly while the women looked on in silent approval. When she had finished, she arose smiling and and signed to them that she would rest. They left soft ly, and neither the exciting recollections of the day's adventures nor the tumult ot the braves outbids could hold her for a moment longer from the blessedness of Bleep. She slept far into the next morning. But so did the village, for the Indians had rev elled themselves to exhaustion the night be- adventure not to find ft trfrlll in being thus translated from civilised women to savage, from hungering captive to reigning queen, from queen to angel all in twenty-four hours. Finding herself feared, she could quiet bar own alarm Red Snake's call was formal and politely brief. He brouaht with him the amusing In terpreter to inquire if the Spirit bad found comfort In the hospitality of bis people, and more particularly If the war dance of the preceding night had given her satisfaction. Pauline replied, with gracious solemnity, that ber Spirit bad found good repose and bad been comforted by the pleasant muslo of the warriors. "And when will the White Queen lead us against our enemies the men ot her own color, but not of ber kind?" Inquired the Chief with almost child like eagerness. , Pauline hesitated an Instsnt after the In terpreter repeated the question. Then, re covering beaself, she answered gravely: "To-day. ked Snake, the Queen rests from iier long Journey out of the Happy Hunting Ground. To-morrow also. Upon the next dav. perhaps, aha will lead the warriors." The little Interpreter's keen -eyes flashed andnratandlngly as he left out the word "perhaps" In repeating ber answer. Red Snake was elnted. He msOe pro found salutations, promised thst the wr party would do ber honor, tad hastened twsy to annour"") the news. The Interpreter lingered, pretending to smooth the door rug.

' "Of course," she whispered, stepping to his side. "I am not a Queen not a Spirit. I do not know why they believe I am. 3u I ' must get away to Rockvale, to Mr. Haines's ranch, to the white people any where. You will help me?" He loked at her pityingly now. He had believed that she was an accomplice ot the medicine man In a shrewd fraud, and he had merely wanted to share the joke, risky as it was. To find her an accidental and unwilling monarch struck him dumb. "That Is very hard," he said slowly. -Look I" He parted the folds of the teepee door curtain so that she looked out toward the village. Three women Bat next the door and beyond were groups of braves, still in thetr war paint, some conversing, some stalwart and still. They seemed to be doing nothing in particular. "Well?" questioned Pauline. Ho led her across the teepeo to a narrow slit Ih the rear curtain. Trough this she peered as she had peered through the door and saw exactly what she had seen through the door women crouching at their tasks in the near foreground, an armed circlet of warriors beyond. Now she understood. "I am a prisoner then?" "They will guard you night and day." "Why?" "It was prophesied that a Grent White Queen would come to lead them to battle. You have come, as the prophet said, and you have promised to lead them to battle. Above all, be proud, and not afraid." The Interpreter hesitated a moment "There was another White Queen whose coming was prophesied many hundreds of years ago," he said. "She came. 8he led the Indians to victory over other Indians and then ehe vanished In the strangest way. I would tell you of It but I am afraid. They say her spirit Is alwaya near. Some day you may know how ehe vanished." Before she could speak again, he had glided out ot the teepee. Five days after the disappearance of Pan line, the express stopped again at Rockvale station. Thla time the news bad been her alded by the word all down the line that the express was carrying the private car Mar tinis with young H. B. Marvin himself sbonrd. As Harry swung from the rear step to the dingy platform, there were many curious eyes to observe his arrival, but the watchers were mostly women and children. The men ot Rockvale were stUl out on the long bunt for Pauline. Harry, ready dressed for the occasion, m riding suit and puttees, hurried first to the station telephone. Bike bad got Mrs. Haines on the wire as soon as the smoke ot the express had been sighted ten miles away. But all she could tell Harry was that there was nothing to tell. His lips were set in ft hard line as be bung up the re ceiver. He asked ft few hasty questions of Bikes, hurried aeross to the little hotel, paid for ft room and-hired a horse. Blankets and provisions strapped behind, be was out and away up the road to the mountains within an hour. And while he urged his sturdy little mount to better speed on bis uncharted Journey, Pauline, not twenty miles away, eras preparing for the last Journey she might ever make. The blow had fallen. Her royal place, ber Immortal power bad vanished. The Indians had permitted one postpone ment ot the day of battle. She had said that the Spirits had spoken to her and warood against bloodshed upon that day. It should be the second day thereafter the Spirits bsd said. The Indians were disap pointed, but they bowed to the edict . The morrow passed quietly, but on the r.ext daythe fifth of ber royal captivity ste wae pompously summoned from ber bouse by tho assembled chiefs la battle paint and feathers. She triod to whisper through the doorway that the Spirits had forbidden again, but Red Snake answered: "You are greater than all other Spirits; you will lead us to-day!" "Tell them." said Pauline 'to the Interpre ter, "that the White Queen does not lead to-day 1" Red Snake's swarthy face turned black with anger as he heard the answer. Ho harangued the chiefs, then turned to Pau line: '"Daughter of the Earth Twice our war riors have been ready for battle and you would not lead them. To-day you must go before the Oracle and prove your immor tality. The Oracle will tell." The warriors departed; only the little in Urpreter remained. "What does it mean?'" cried Pauline. "It is the race with the Great Death Stone," he answered, and his own voice trembled. "But." he whispered, "I will ride. I will try to find help. Wait," He slipped under the back ot the teepee. Unseen by the excited Indians, he made his way to the line ot ponies, with lariats and rifle swung from their saddles. He picked one and, mounting, rode slowly out ot the village, speaking here and there to the braves he met Pauline, left alone, fell upon her knees and prayed. Harry met Haines and two of bis posBe on the road to the mountains. They were on their way back to a general rendezvous ordered by the Sheriff. Haines and Harry shook hands silently. BuWHarry did not join them. He would be at the meeting place in the morning, he said, but to-day and to-night he would ride just ride. Haines saw that the boy needed to gallop off a case of overwrought nerves. He let him go. Mile after mile the little mustang put be hind him while the sun was still high. On the slope ot a, hill they came to a cross roads, and Harry, riding almost blindly, reined to the right The pony swerved wildly to the left Harry turned to face the Mummy! The mummy In its reincarnated form of the beautiful maiden seen by old Mr. Marvin in bla library bad appeared again In Montana wSMerness. Harry gave the frightened horse its head. A half mile farther on the animal stopped and sniffed the wind. At tho same instant Harry heard a foeble shout from the road. He dismounted and led the pony forward to where a weirdly garbed little balfbreed lay on the ground holding the bridle of the borse that had thrown him. "Ankle gone," explained the little man. "Riding for help, I was. You ride now. White, girl they're klling ber- up there now." ' "White glrlf Where? Talk fast, nan." "Two miles over the mountain and down to the valley straight ahead. You go1 to the botom of the valley, not to the top not where the Indians are. Climb tree; take my rope; It's the only chance now." Harry caught the colled lariat from the other's saddle and rode aa he had never rid den In his life before. All waa vague la bis mind, except that she wss near, she was tn peril, and be must reach her. What the peril was, he could only guess. He touched spurs to the willing little horse and Its every fiber was strslned to the chase. How, by road and trail, he ever reached the Valley ot the Death Stone Harry never knew. Perhaps chance, perhaps some In visible courier guided him to the lonely spot After long, bard riding be waa at tracted by the low rumble ot many voices lifted In ft sort of chsnt Following the voices, be came to th toot of ft steep el lit elde where ft long trench, partly of natural formation, partly hewn from the stone, made chuie or runway from mountain top to valley. 1 He looked tip the runway to where, at Its upper end. ft motley band of Indians were engated la some weird worship. He started bla borse up the steep In the ehelter ot the woods. He came to spot where ft bugs tree limb crossed the runway, and tho little) halfbreed's words camo to him. "Climb the tree; it la the only chance." As he pondered what to do he was gal vanised to decision by a commotion above him. From the midst ot the Indian group emerged two giant braves. They were carrying a white woman between them. They placed her in the runway. Her golden hair, unbound, floated on the wind. It waa Pauline. Harry choked back a cry, and, now, with' grim speed, be threw aside his rifle, caught the lariat and, swinging up ths tree, crawled swiftly out on the overhanging limb. Concealed by the foliage he waited, A rifle cracked, and, for the first time, Harry saw that at the top ot the runway, behind Pauline, there stood a mighty, . . boulder, almost perfectly round, the diame ter of which about five feet fitted .the trench so well that it could roll In It like a ball in a bowling gutter. None even among the Indians knew bow many times the Stone of Death bad rolled and been dragged back again to the) top of the cliff. The stains upon it ware many, but unnumbered. Upon its surface was written In blood the doom of the false prophets and pretending Immortals. None) had ever won in the race with the Deatlt Stone. . j The crack of. the rifle was the signal for a group ot red men to press behind the stone to free It on its fearful course. It was also the signal for Pauline to run. Her hair streamed wildly in the wind as she sped, like a frightened deer, down the) , deadly path. The rifle Bounded again and the Indiana heaved the stone into the trench. It rumbled as it came on. It gained upon the fleeing girl. They had planned to pro- i long the torture by giving her a hopelesa . lead. Dancing, gesticulating, shouting, the In', dians watched the race. Only one watcher ' was silent and motionless. Hidden by th i leaves he braced himself upon the tree limb. For the first moments after the rock was released he had turned sick and dizzy. Now. 1 as they came nearthe thing relentless, but inanimate pursuing the thing helpless, beau tiful and most precious to him ot all things In the world he was cold and nerveless. Not the quiver of a muscle hindered the desperate task that he had set himself. A moment later be was sobbing like a child as he half dragged, bait carried Taul lne to his waiting borse. By the maglo of luck, by the mystery of a protecting Fate. the lariat noose had fallen about the shoul ders ot the fleeing glrL To the amased and terrified Indians up the cliff she had seemed ' to soar suddenly, splrlt-Uke, out of tho trench and to vanish In the foliage of tho tree, while the boulder thundered on, , cheated of tta prey. But quickly out of tho woods upon th open plain below appeared a rider with a woman's form clasped before him on the ssddle. The baffled Indians scurried tor, their horses. They reached the valley. They gained upon the burdened horseman and bis tired horse. They Bred as they rode, th.) bullets spitting venomously la the dust around Harry and Pauline. The pony stumbled. Harry Jerked It up and It struggled bravely on, but the cries behind sounded louder. ' ' The bullets bit nearer. Suddenly the firing Increased. There were more cries. And Harry, relnln.v, the pony saw, galloping over the ridge to the westward, the full posse of Hal Haines. They fired as they came. Tbey out between blm and the Indians.
