HI I HQ I turned as pale as death. His knees swayed beneath him, but he seemed by some supernatural force to move for- ward. Crouching down, he looked through the door of the ruins and into the gloom within. In the light from the fire in the stone chimney he could see a huddled form upon the floor. The life blood still ran from a wound upon her forehead, and her head rested in a pool of blood upon the stones. Her gray, tender eyes were icy with the stare of death, and her withered form could be seen through the rents in her clothing. One arm was bent back in an odd fashion that showed it had been wrenched from the socket by a cruel grasp. The marks of fingers could be seen upon her feeble neck. Towering over her, stood an evil-faced brutefthe murderer. A fiendish smile was upon his sneering lips as he played with his booty, a crucifix which contained three large diamonds. From beneath a great coin-trimmed sombrero his eyes glowed with the blood lust, and when he moved, his silver spurs jingled at the high heels of his riding boots. Two guns swung loosely at his belt and told his business. A shudder ran through the frame of the observant man as he stepped back from the doorway. He had loved his mother dearly, in his own odd way, and now she was murdered. His eyes glowed with hate, and his finger nails cut deep into his palms. Revenge would be his, but not now. His was the cunning and stealth of the red man, and not the bold, fearless methods of the white. The swarthy native drew back with a shudder and disappeared in the sheltering ruins to bide his time. Hours went slowly by, and as the storm passed over, the wan, crescent moon came forth and cast its weird light down upon the ruins. In a small room in the midst of the castle the bandit slept. The moon-light fell through a tiny window upon his face which was bloated from intoxicants. Presently, the shadow of a strange, oddly-shaped creature fell upon him. Slowly the weird. writhing shape came into view, and even more slowly did it move to- ward him. The sticks that held it were moving imperceptibly toward the eyes of the drunken, sleeping thief and mur- derer. Gradually the sticks opened and the tarantula settled upon his eyes. The room was as quiet as only the desert can be. The silence was like the van- guard of death. The murderer moaned and rolled onto his side. Outside, a great sand owl sent its quivering cry across the waste. The moon disappeared behind a cloud, and in the darkness a cold-blooded laugh rang out. The taran- tula's work was done.
