At daybreak they pulled up their anchors, and went in search of the de¬ pressions of which the professor had spoken. So accurate was his topo¬ graphic knowledge and so great his skill, that late in the afternoon they saw a tall chimney projecting above the water a little ahead. “There’s all that remains of Pueblo,” said Professor Pludder. They anchored again that night, and the next day, cautiously approaching a bluff that arose precipitously from the water, their hearts were glad¬ dened by the sight of three men, standing on a bluff? excitedly beckon¬ ing to them, and shouting at the top of their voices.

The girl’ uttered a cry, and sped through the doorway. For a moment the psychologist stood watching the greeting of the lovers. He turned back then to the sullen prisoners. ! “But it’s some advance, isn’t it, Rentland,” he asked, “not to have to ,try such poor devils alone; but, at ,last, to capture the man who makes .the millions and pays them the pennies—the man higher up?” The End
