He discovered the trap too late
to avoid it. One glimpse he hao
of a atrip of blue sky beyond the
opening, then came the freezing
realization that the trail droppec

glimpse of that awful depth a
they went over and knew thai
the drop was at least a thousand
feet.
-He brought up so unexpectedly
that he Jell to his hands and
knees. He had landed on a ledge
so narrow that even now his left
foot hung over its ede. There
was a niche to his right and he
tbrew himself into It and presseu
a Kama t the hard rock until It hurt.
The cold sweat broke out, and he
huddled there rigidly without dar

The reason one of those bullets
hadn't hit him came to him as
clearly as though it were In printed
words for him to read. It wasn't
poor shooting; It was exceptionally
good shooting. They had driven
him Into the trap much as a wild
horse is driven Into a blind corral,
forcing him on with their rifles,
preventing his turning to right or
left, careful not to mark him with
a bullet. Very careful! A bullet
hole would have been evidence of
murder; a mangled body at the bot
tom of a thousand-foot cliff could
only be the result of an accident.
He heard voices and movement
above him. They seemed very
close.
"Rep anvthlnff?"
'Naw. Yeah I Yeaht Down
there through the trees. Hoss, ain't
it?"
"Yeah. Can't see Tyler, but he
must be somewnere arouna mere
what's left of him."
"Thought I saw him Jump Just
as he went over."
"He did Jump; but It was too
late. He went over, all right. Too
bad. ain t nr There was mockery
In the voice.
"Yeah. Awful bad. You know.
there oughta be a sign here at
the jumpin'-off place to warn all
snoopers like him."
They laughed callously and Jeff
heard the crunch of their boots
as they moved away from the
edge of the cliff.
On his hands and knees he crawl

law that the edue over which he
had fallen was not more than ten
feet above his head when he stood
erect. Ten feet, but It might Just
kb well have been as many miles,
for the rock face was eroded as
smooth as glass. There was but
aoe way out and that was by rope.
And that meant somebody interest
ed enough In his welfare to lower
that rope and then drag him over
(he edge.
He cupped his hands and shouted
aiore In desperation than in any
hope of hearing a reply. Then he
tot up so suddenly that he nearlv
lost his balance and fell off the
ledge. From the distance had come
a faint answer.
He called again at the top of
his lungs, and now he distinctly
heard the carrying cry, "Jeffl" The
pitch and timbre of that voice
Ihrllled him to the toes.

herself into his arms, her hands
clutching at his coat, her head
buried against his breast. Jeff

He was thanking God, not for his
miraculous escape, but for the mem
