She was not yet done. Today she hadi marvellous designs. 0n the wall close to her mirror she had tacked a large page trom a woman's mngo seine. and on this page was a love- ly vision at curls. fifteen hundred.i miles north at the sunny Califoru nia studio in which the picture had: been taken.

CHAPTER xx The Willow's back was toward: the door when the Factor from Luci Bain entered the cabin. and tor a. new seconds she did not turn. Hen drst thought was of Pierrot—tor; some reason he had returned. even as this thought came to hard she heard in Bareo’s threat a snarl. that hroughther suddenly to her- feot. facing the door. lic’ragzart had not entered nit-1 prepared. He had lett his pack.‘ his gun. and his heavy coat out-1 side. He was standing with his. back against th9_door—and at No- peese—in her wondertul dress and flowing hair—he was staring as in stunned for a space at what he saw. Fate, or accident. was playyi lug against the Willow now. .it was not‘ s long interval in which their eyes met in that term ble silence—terrible to the girl. Words were unnecessary. At best she understood—understood what her peril had been that day at the atlas of the chasm and in the for» est. when fearlessly she had playw ed with the menace that was con- fronting her now. a breath that was like a sob broke troun her lips. “M‘sieul” she tried to say. But it was only a gasp—an effort. She seemed choking. . Plainly she heard the click or that iron bolt as it locked the door.’ Mc'l‘aggart sdvlnced a step. 1 Only a single step McTaggart.‘ advanced. 0n the iloor Baree had; C remained like a carven thing. H01 ' had not moved. He had not; made a sound but that onei warning snarl—until McTaggarti took the stop. And then. like at ilash.howasupandinirontoti Nepeese. every hair at his body on’ and: and at the fury in his growl Mc’l‘aggart lunged back againsti the barred door. A word from No- peese in that moment, and it would have been over. But an instant was lost—an instant beiore her cry, came. in that moment man's handi and brain worked together ewiiteri than brute understanding: and as; Bares launched himseii at the Fee-i tor’s throat, there came a flash and: a deafening explouon almost in! the Willow's eyes. i ltwasechance shotashotfrom, ' the hip with McTaggart's auto-i matte.

His courage and his determination rose as he saw her body droop a little against the wall. She was powen loss. There was no escape. Piers rot was gone. Bares was dead. He had thought that no living cresmre could move as swiftly as the Willow when his-arms reached out for her. She made no sound as she darted under one of his outs stretched arms. He made a lungs. a brutal grab. and his lingers caught a bit of her hair. He heard the snap at it as she tore herself tree and new to the door.
