We sat firm, clinging as we could, al
we must. Fulano dashed along the re-
sounding pass.
Armstrong pressed after-the gaunt
white horse struggled to emulate his
leader. Presently we lost them behind
the curves of the alley. No other horse
that ever lived could have held with the
black in that headlong gallop to save.
Over the slippery rocks, over the
sheeny pavement, plunging through thu
loose stones, staggering over the barri-
cades, leaping the arroyo. down, up, ON,
always on-on went the horse, we cling
ing as we might.
1t seemed one beat of time, it seemed
an eternity, when between the ring Of
the hoofs l heard Brent whisper in my
ear:
"We are there"
The crags flung apart, right and left.
saw a sylvan glade. / saw the CLEAN OF
gushing water.
Fulano dashed on, uncontrollable!
There they were-the murderers.
Arrived but one moment!
The lady still bound to that pack mule
branded A &. A.
Murker just beginning to unsaddle.
Larrap not dismounted, in chase Of the
other animals as they strayed to Craze.
The men heard the tramp and saw Us
as we sprang into the glade.
Both my hands were at the bride.
Brent, grasping my waist with one
arm, was awkward with his pistol.
Murker saw us first. He snatched his
sixshooter and fired.
Brent shook with spasm. His pistol
arm dropped.
Before the murderer could cock again,
Fnlano was upon him!
He was ridden down. He was beaten,
trampled down upon the grass-crushed,
| abolished.
We disentangled ourselves from the
melee.
Where was the other?
The coward, without firing shot, was
squirting Armstrong; fathead horss
blindly up the canyon, whence we had
issued.
We turned to Murker.
Fulano was mp again and stood there
shuddering. But the man?
A hoof had battered in the top of his
skull; blood was gushing from his month;
his ribs were broken; all his body was .
trodden. massacred carcass. ,ea
He breathed once as we lifted him.
Then a tranquil, childlike look stole
over his face-that well known look Of
the weary body, thankful that the turbu-
lent soul has gone. Murker was dead.
Fulano, and not we, had been exesa-
| toner. His was the stain of blood.

~ am shot," gssped Brent, and sank
down fainting.
Which first? the lady or my friend,
slain perhaps for her sake?
"Her! see to her!" he moaned.
/ unbound her from the saddle. I
could not utter word for pity. She es-
sayed to speak, but her lips only moved.
She could not change her look. So many
hours hardening herself to repel, shS
could not soften yet, even to accept my
offices with smile Of gratitude, She
was cruelty cramped by her lashings to
the rough pack saddle, rudely cushioned
with blankets. But the horror had not
maddened her; the torture had not
broken her; the dread of worse had not
slain her. She was still unblenching
and indomitable. And still she seemed
to rule her fate with quiet, steady eyes
gray eyes with violet lights.
l carried her few steps tn the side OF
a jubilant fountain lifting beneath
rock, and left her there to nature, kind
lest leech.
Then took a cup of that brilliant
water to my friend, my brother.
81 can die now" he said feebly.
"There is no death in you. You have
won the right to live. Keep brave
heart. DRINK
And in that exquisite spot, that fair
glade of the sparkling fountains, l gave
the noble fellow long drafts of sweet
refreshment. The rescued lady trailed
herself across the grass and knelt beside
us. My horse, still heaving with his
honorable gallop, dropped his head over
the group. A picture to be remembered!
