PAGE SIX A RAPID-FIRE tYSOPSlftr The Montana Kid and Motto Rubrie have been ad mitted to the tort 01 Duraya liroi.ofl Information furnllhed Montana by Roetta. They want to Mtenl the emerald crown of Our Lady, which General Eitroda hat taken from the church, and return It. Ae they hana outetde the pen eral'e window, however, the'l hear Roetta betray them to the general. It ho hitetlee out at Ml apartment to ere that Rol( cett lately home. Chapter SS EXPLOSION Rl'BRIZ and Montana stood again In the bedroom of the general, ,and the bandit wasted one moment 'to any to bis friend: "There la your lesson! If you muat have women, give thera your hand but only with gold In It. Glre trust to them and you give It to the wind!" "We hare work to do." aald the Kid through hla teeth. And he went atralght for the cloaet In which they had found the aafe of Ignaelo Estrada. The teeth of Mon tana were atll! Bet bard and some thlng that waa not quite a amlle kept lifting bla lip a trifle. When they were Inside the cloaet, Rubrii could hear hla friend hum ming that old. old aong: "Love la not happiness." Rubrls hlmse.f Joined In the hum ming, very softly. The two of them fell to work with the skill of old practitioners. Suppose a sound aa of two Im mense hands clapped together, In such a fashion that the air la not struck out flattings, In a thunder clap. Suppose a pair of huge doors hurled down on a thick carpet. Imagine a quivering shock that runs through a balldlng and seems to come from any direction at all the sides, the bottom, the top. That waa what the eiploslon was like In Fort Duraya. Nearly every soul In the big building heard It or felt It, for it waa almost more to be felt than to be heard. A good many thought that It was a aevere earth quake. Most men looked at one another, startled, and muttered, "There'a something wrong!" There wore very few who could guess that It waa ac tually an explosion. The general, Ignaelo Estrada, was one of these. He had brought Roslta to the gate of the fort, on his arm, so that she bad nothing to do except to saunter down the short slope to wards the lights of the town. . In front of the entire guard at the gate, he leaned and kissed the girl. She received that caress on a brow of stone, and the general would not have been surprised If he had heard a snicker from one of the men. "Well, Roslta," ho said to her, "one of these days you will like mo better." "I shall pray," sho answored. She looked right back nt him. He did not know whether to curse her htsolence or damn her stupidity. Then he de cided that he would do neither, but begin to use all of his brains In the study of her. For one thing, she had taken on additional algnlllcauce, simply be cause be knew that she had seen El Keed face to face, perhaps had smiled and laughed with that fan tastic adventurer. She startled the good general aa though he bad dis covered. In some plain, drab woman of middle age, the widow of a great man. FOR Kl Keed waa great In the eyes of General Estrada. In part the greatness was based upon a mystery. Estrada could understand why men should dare greatly for great (re wards, but to ride Into danger mere ly for the sake of danger's face was an absurdity and a madness. TheBe were the thoughts that wcro working In the mind of the governor as he said goocl-liy to the girl, and at that moment he heard from somewhere Inside the tort or was It not from the ground beneath him? that soft, thick, muffled ex plosion. He started. He looked wild ly at Roslta. "What la it?" she asked him. "El Keed 1 think, El Keed!" salt) the governor. "Inside the fort?" she gasped. "Still Inside the tort?" She even made a pace or two In pursuit of the general, but Estrada waa mnking oft at full speed, shout ing to the officer of the gate: "Sound the alarm! Every man at his post! Sound the alarm!" That was why Montana and Ru brlx did not have much time. They had watched the Are run down the fuse under the door of the closet. They had heard the very light crackling and spitting sound which the fuse made. They lay flat on the floor in a corner of the bedroom and waited. All sound ended. AND BABY MAY LK OAKLAND.

I "The cursed fuse was wet It was ruined!" growled Rubrii. "That dog of an Ofiate shall learn what it la to give me false material!" Then the explosion came. It blew the door of the closet shuddering open. An Invisible puff, as it were, of thick, strange-smelling air rolled out to them, and the flame lumped 1 wildly In the lamp and almost went out. When they got Into the closet they found the door of the safe open and hanging by only one hinge! Well, let them take this much good fortune almost tor granted since they were not yet clear ot the fort! Even If the emerald crown were In their hands, they had not gained it until they were out of Fort Duraya. That waa why they aald nothing when from the second or third drawer they opened they took a soft wrapping of chamois. It tell open In their banda and they saw the green glinting of the emeralds, like the eyes of cats when a torch reflects from them by night Then they heard the shrill neigh ing of the alarm bugle that waB blowing from the gate of the tort and causing the echoing of tram pling feet to sound In Immediate an swer from tno Darracus ana an through the big building. "Now for the last step!" said Rubrlz. E TOOK one half of the broken crown and gave the other to his friend. "Ay," said Montana. "One of us may stick In the trap. Take some of this stuff." He had picked two soft, heavy little bngs of gold, out of another drawer ot the safe. Rubrlz dropped one Into a pocket of hla trousers. Montana put the little ten-pound weight Inside his coat. 'The best way Is right back to the postorn by which we came in. Fol low me there, Rubrlz." "Back the same way? They will have It crowded with armed men." "1 tell you that's the safest chance." "Montana, It Is no chance at all!" They were In the bedroom of the governor again. They wore In the closet opposite to that which had held the safe, and while Rubrlz com pleted his costume by huddling swiftly Into a white shirt which he snatched from a shelf, Montana picked a groat cloak from Its hanger and flung It around his shoulders. They sprang out again Into the open room. "Rubrlz, I tell you 1 have a lucky ' feeling. Come with me tonight!" "In the name ot God. Montana quickly! to mo!" A voice called out dlBlnnlly. Then a door opened and thcro was a sud den rushing of footfalls. close at hand, at the very entranco to the bedchamber. Montana, springing for the door that led Into the llttlo sldo corridor, could not believe himself when he saw Rubrlz rush straight forward to encountor this overwhelming dan ger. Well, mere physical resistance could not be In the head of the Mexican. He must have thought out some cunning device. So Montana went rapidly through the corridor. He came out cautious ly Into the officers' mess-hall. Two or three chairs were overturned. He found hlmsolf, against his own be lief, pausing to finish off a brimming glass ot wine. Out, after all, the matter ot a few seconds here and there would be ot no Importance. He might as well pause tor a clgaret. It would even help him. Considering this, he actually light ed a smoke and then wont on again. The bugles were stlil going, the sound penetrating the thick walls dimly, entering the mind like per sistent needles ot thought But not even the thickness ot the walls could keep out the damned rattling and clamoring and crazy rhythms ot the alarm bells. The building seemed to tremble as the sounds found physical root In the foundations ot the old tort And a crazy panic ran out through the blood of Montana and into his brain. He took hold of that panic with his hands, so to speak, and cast It out of his breast. His hat was well over his hend, well down on the forehead. The flap ot the cloak would cover most ot the rest ot his face. And hlufl would have to do the rest Muff no wider than the edge ot a knife. (Copyright, laJ.

Working In Switzerland. Steinach has, according to the newspaper, ex tended the fertility of cattle long past the normal period by his In jections with the result that the pro geny of valuable animals haa been Increased. Hope was held out that his sys tem could be applied to humans without technical difficulties. The chemical used Is called "Progy non" and It can be used on males as well as females. It was described as artificially compounded hormones which heretofore have been produced only by living organisms.
