"She was wild with fear when she ran from the wagon, and she would grow wilder. Before morning came she was a maniac, but 1 doubt if she lived to see another day." "Indians?" gasped Bess. No wolves.

One united effort would heave it out of tho opening.

"What do yon think is behind the stone?" asked Joe. "A cave of some Bort." "And what shall we liiul in the cave?" asked Hnrkins. "The shriveled bodies of dead Aztecs. That lost race always buried their dead in caves, and when the pluce would hold no more it was walled up. I have helped to open three or four." "But why go to all this trouble to open a cave of bone and dust?" petulant ly queried Harking. "As the Indian of today places the property of the dead warrior beside him that he may have an ounit in me nappy land beyond, so the Aztecs placed the wealth of their dead beside them in these caves. I have seen many orna ments of gold and silver which came from such caves." "Then let us to work!" exclaimed Joe aa he seized a bar. "We shall find a cave of dead if not a cave of gold." added Hnrkins. The bars were inserted on the left hand side of the stone, each man drew a long breath and at the word each throw his weight on his lever. The stone trem i bled, moved forward, hung a moment and then fell to the earth with a heavy thud, and an opening appeared into which a horse could almost have walked. jerrn to mmseir: "These outlaws want me to help find Vie gold, but what will happen then?

Well it was for the girl and the wagon men that Taylor had been kept in igno rance of her rescue and arrival. Had the renegades known she was in cainp they would have shed blood to recapture her.
