-Four Inen at once advanced upon the de-
fenseless outlaw gambler He read no
mercy in their stern faces, and realized
that he had sealed his own fate by his mis-
deeds He was not the man to die without
a struggle, however.
Back | viii not tamely submit, cried
the revolver prince, waving back the cow
bows with his hand. To the left deep shad-
ows hung, and Revolver Guy saw in that
direction his only hope Of safety.
With quick bound the villain crossed
the circle of freight and disappeared IN the
deep shadows of the gulch.
After him He must not escape =

one breath.
Several cowboys rushed away, and the
sharp crack of reyolvers rang out on the
still night air.
In dashing forward Primrose Pete STUN
bled over an object IN his path. He bent
over it to find the body of a man. He re-
allied that it must be the body Of the gam
bier. His cries caused a cessation of pur-
suit and the cowboys soon gathered about
their leader.
Bring a light, commanded Primrose
Pete.
This order was quickly obeyed, and then
all looked into the face Of Revolver Guy,
which was coursed with blood.
"One of the balls fetched him." said
cowboy at Primrose Petes side.
mo, there's no bullet wound here, said
the yellow-haired sport His skull is
crushed He has met with an accident"
And so it proved.
On examining the rocky side Of the gulch
projecting corner was found that had par
ticles of flesh, blood. and hair clingng to
it. This explained the mystery of the gam
bler's death
He had crushed his head against the
rock in his mad flight for life, and thus
saved his enemies a most disagreeable
work.

be brought against Frisco Matt and his
pards they were permitted to depart in
peace, each one swearing to leave Montana
forever. They promised also to attend the
body of the dead gambler.
Immediately after, the cowboys filed out
Of the gulch on their return to the cattle
range, and this time Nettie and her
mother kept them company. In
Mad Myrtle Primrose Pete had found
a sister whom he had for ten years mouned
as dead. Both had followed the same trail,
and by a wonderful dispensation of proyi-
dence had met in the mountains of Mon
tana to be reunited after a decade Of sep
aration.
Jonathan Skinner went his own way,
after receiving a terrible scoring from Prim-
rose Pete, the cowboy sport.
And now we shall have little more to say.
Primrose Pete continued on to the North
ern Pacific with the women, the mad maid
gallant men acting as guard beyond the
cattle range. Here the league of avengers
was disbanded, and every man went his
way, each one bidding Nina Bardon fare
well with trembling hand and streaming
eyes. They were never to meet again.
Primrose Pete continued in the work of
overseeing the cattle range, and in time he
persuaded Nettie that it was best for her to
share his life. We believe it was love
match in tie tluest sense of the term. Nina
is married also, and has a happy home and
a growing family.
