CHAPTER LU Meanwhile Bourne had returned to his wheel. His movements were almost apathetic; bnt his eyes, with hawklike keenness, were focused on the Wind pulling past along hie beam. . When the rival ship had shoved her nose half a length ahead of the AfaicTs bow, he flashed into startling action, jerking the signal that sent both his motors roaring into power. As the Maid leaped forward, he spun the wheel, throwing her toward the other boat She twisted; shivered; and the next moment, with her guard-rail almost touching that of the speeding Wind, began to slip backward—five feet, ten; until she reached the counter of the Taku Wind. There she rode steadily without losing another inch. “Doggone!” Harp yelled-exultant-ly. “We’ve hooked his suction wave!” “Shut down that starboard mill, Felix!” Bourne shouted through the tube. “Get to work on it Don’t let the port unit fail me while you’re at it.” Tense, alert, he was watching every move of Page’s craft, maneuvering to hold his place with his single engine. Harp gave a whoop and slapped Shan on the shoulder. “Hah! That will put a crimp in Mr. Cutthroat Page! He’ll have to carry ua along now until we get that starboard mill fixed 1” “Harp!” Bourne cut in sharply, without taking his eyes from the other boat. “Round np the crew. Take them below. Felix is up against a tough job. He’ll need all hands. That starboard unit must be in commission before we reach the Sisters —or the jig’s up. Step lively.” Harp darted from the pilothouse and disappeared. Denny, taut with suspense, stood a few feet behind Bourne, looking through the open windows. She could not tear her gaze from the TantnWind, which Page, in his desperate attempts to shake off the Maid, was sending through every tricky maneuver he knew. But each time, just as some writhing contortion seemed about to accomplish his

purpose. Bourne adroitly matched his move, and kept the Maid!» nose glued to the other ahip’s veering guardrail. The strain was beginning to tell »n Bourne. A trickle of sweat seeped from his temple down the length of his cheek. Seeing it, Denny had a sudden impulse to help him; to fight beside him. But she knew that no one could help him now, except his men working frantically in the engine room. Working against time and the inexorable swiftness of the Taku Wind, drawing them down toward the Sisters. For the first time, the realization of personal danger came to Denny. She knew, in a vague way, that Bourne could slip off the Wind’s suction wave in time to avoid crashing on the Sisters. But, unless his engine were fixed, that would mean the loss of the race. Now, with everything he had in the world staked, he would naturally take chances; desperate chances. He would hang on to the last minute, depending on the repair of the engine. What if Felix failed him—and he hung on too long? “Denny I” She jumped at the tone of command in Bourne’s voice. "In my cabin—a life belt. Put it on.” She leaped to obey. As she was tying the belt about her, she glanced through the back window of Bourne’s cabin—and went cold in the pit of her stomaeh. Men were busy with the lifeboats at the end of the sun deck. Men with tense faces, disordered hair; naked to the waist and blackened with oil. Part of the engine-room crew—standing by. Bourne must have ordered them out the moment she left him. It could mean but one thing—the engine was not yet repaired, but Bourne was going to hang on to the last possible moment; and he realized that he might misjudge that moment Denny’a knees were trembling when she returned to the pilothouse. Her gaze returned to the bow and she smothered a cry. The two boats were sweeping around a bend. Dead ahead, in the middle of the river, -eared tho lofty prow of the first Sister, its knife edge furiously split:ing a billow. At ths same instant, Page swung ths Taku Wind, laying

truck had kept Borger from park Ing In the lot. Clyde Drake, his son, told about the same story. Both said they were threatened. Clyde, however, could not atate that dead horses had been left near the barn during warm weather. During the trial, Prosecutor Voglewede was called away and

his course eo close to the rock that tho Maifs nose, following, was rushing straight at tho granite pyramid. Now Bourne must give np; must slide off that auction wave. Denny held her breath, waiting. But Bourne remained braced at his wheel, hie whole body aeeming to listen for that signal from the engine room; hie white-knuckled hands holding hie boat steady beside the eraft that was drawing him on to destruction. Van Clave stepped quickly into the pilothouse and, without a word, slipped an arm about Denny. She felt hie heartbeats racing “We’re going to crash,” she thought “I must not set like a coward.” Resolutely she kept her eyes on the huge, dark bulk hurling to meet them. But the river, the rock, the green shore beyond, suddenly swam in a blinding blur—a blur that was pierced by a sharp jingle and the clang of a stop signal. The throbbing life of the Maid died to silence. When Denny’s vision cleared, the Maid was grudgingly dropping back off her competitor's suction wave. The Wind, free at last, swung her bow and, emitting three derisive whistles of farewell, shot on downstream, leaving her crippled rival drifting rapidly toward the Sister, twenty yards ahead. “The race is over,” was Denny’s despairing thought; but Bourne’s yank at the bellpull brought a roaring response from the engine room. The Maid surged forward in a magnificent swing that took her flying past tho first Sister ... past the second ... past the third, and into the straightaway below. She was barely two boat-lengths behind the stern of the Taku Wind! “Oh!” cried Denny joyously, looking up at Van Cleve. “They got the engine fixed!” He nodded.

Harp erupted from the forward companionway —an unfamiliar Harp with a blackened face, wearing about the waist only a sleeveless undershirt splotched with oil. His muscular arms were marred by red wales from contact with searing hot metal. He panted into the pilothouse. Bourne flashed him a thin smile. “Good work, old man. And just in the nick of time.”

Harp answered something which Denny failed to eateh; something which caused the captain to frown and nod his agreement In the ensuing silence, Denny kept wondering why the two men seemed so grave. The starboard engine was working as well as ever, so far as she eould tell. The Maid kept on the heels of the Taku Wind, making good time. “Jack will show us how much speed he’s got left in that scow of his now,” Bourne prophesied, as he eased his ship around a boulder. Fulfilling his prediction, black smoke suddenly bloomed from the Wind’s exhaust ports. She drew a little ahead. Bourne increased his speed, keeping up with her but not gaining. The two boats were racing down a tricky stretch of water now—a roaring, swollen river pouring over boulders . . . curling about roeks . . . creaming and rippling over hidden ban. Denny, watching the Maid swing and dart and zigzag on her headlong course, was thankful that Bourne—“swift to see and lightning to act" —seemed equal to any problem of navigation that arose. Ahead, on the Taku Wind, Jack Page was also proving himself a white-water skipper of superb nerve and skill. Once, after the master of the Taku Wind had executed a maneuver which only a split-second timing had made possible, and Bourne had followed him, even Harp grunted hia grudging admiration. Bourne said, “Jack’s a crackerjack riverman. If I only had the engines to race him to tho finish I” Denny glanced at him in quick dismay. Race him to the finish—what did he mean? Was it posisble that they were not going through to the finish, now that both engines were running again? She turned questioningly to Harp. Ho sat humped on the settee, defeat in every line of his sagging figure. Van Cleve, as much at sea in matters of river craft as Denny, took a quick step toward Bourne. “Why,

the prosecution was completed by Nathan C. Nelson. Mr. Nelson, in agreement with the defense attorney, H. R McClenahan, agreed to waive arguments, so the spectators were dismissed from Mr. Kelly's office and the case given to the jury. o Prada In a Good Town — Decatur

i Rev! What’s wrong? Aren’t you i going to race him to the finish?” i Bourne shook his head. “Impossible. That starboard mill—it may ; last an hour more and—it may be only a matter of minutes before the , bearings heat up again and put us i out of commission for good. But i we’ll keep in the game as long as we can.” I Denny gasped. Bourne —beaten already? He knew he had lost, yet he went on playing the hand dealt him by a crooked gambler; playing it with everything in him to the last card? She turned sick. “Great heavens, man!” Amazement and protest rang in Van’s voice. “But Page crippled you before you started! Surely he can’t make this stick? You won’t let him get away with it?” Bourne lifted and lowered his shoulder. “No squawks; no alibis—a condition of the race, Van.” “It’s outrageous! I never heard of anything like it in my life! There must be something you can do, Rev. Something that would give you a chance with that double-crossing sneak!” Bourne maneuvered the speeding Maid around a sweeper, “I might spring a surprise on him if I could overtake him before we reach Moonlight Creek; but I haven’t enough power left in that crippled unit “I know!” shouted Harp, leaping to his feet “The cut-off through the Gateposts! A mile ahead! Once you said a man might make it if he cared to take a chance, Rev. It will bring you out abreast the Wind just above Moonlight Bar!” Bourne seemed to be considering the suggestion. Denny remembered the Gateposts—two rock pillars side by side, almost in midstream Above them the current divided, the regular steamboat channel swinging in a wide arc around a wooded point; the other rushing between the Gateposts, cutting through the point. She leaned forward hopefully, intent on hearing Bourne’s answer amid the thunder of the exhausts. It eame in a lowered tone, evidently not meant for her ears. “That’s out, Harp. I can’t take the risk—with Denny aboard." Her heart turned to ice. Because of her, he was going to lose everything—Lonewater, River House, all that the Keiths and the Bournes had built up in a lifetime! The enormity, the tragedy of it, stunned her for an instant Then she sprang to his side, shoving Van out of her way. “Revelry! The Gateposts! You must go through!” His keen glance brushed her and returned to the river. Without deigning to answer, he concentrated on bis steering. She clutched his arm, crying in desperate earnestness, “You’ve got to take this chance, Revelry! You can’t let Page win everything! Put the Maid through the Gateposts—the river won't fail you! Put her through! I tell you, you must! You mutt!" “Step back out of my way,” he ordered. "I’m running this ship.” “I went!” she refused wildly. "You’re going through! I’ll not stand for your losing everything. You’ll go through, Revelry Bourne, if I have to ram that wheel over myself!” “Calm yourself, Denise." With his eyes on the channel, he tooled the Maid around a foaming boulder and at the same time leaned so close to Denny that his cheek touched hers. Sharp, bitter, his words pierced her brain. “I’ve lost. That’s settled. But you’ve won. There’ll be fifty thousand dollars left—sale of community property. Don’t worry. You’ll get it all—with your freedom." She staggered as if he had struck her. Then a cry of fury and despair broke from her. “Money? You brute! You fool! This is no time to think of money. Don’t you realize what you're losing? Our boat, our river, our home—everything we have in the world! . . . Oh, Revelry—" suddenly she was pleading, wringing her hands—"l can’t bear to lose it—my home, my river. Please—before it’s too late. Do something to save it You can, Revelry. You can do anything. Save it —for us!" “For us?" His voice held • new note. (To be continued) i Com I*ht by Barrett WtHoutbby. DMrttfeM by King rMUirea ByMUat* Tn*
