breath to Plummer's faltering recital
of the events of the morning.
''Are you sure it was my sonny
Ned?" he moaned.
Il never saw him BEFORE Mr.. Har-

The wooden shutter behind them

Moreno's voice, tremulous with. SYM
pathy and distress, fell upon their ears
''Senor Harvey, my heart bleeds for

''God of heaven! And your men have

''All but Feeny here"

Yes, but stop one moment now and

crumpled page while Feeny held the
light. Feverishly Harvey examined

Then in less than a minute even the
galloping hoofs had muffled their dull
thunder in the darkness and distance.
With wild dread squirting him on, the
father was gone to the rescue of his
children. leaving old Plummer and his
faithful sergeant shocked and nerveless
at the ranch.

And presently, faint and far, some-

south, voice replied:
Down hyar. Something's coming

Surely enough. Probably quarter
mile away dim light as of swing
ing lantern could be seen following the
winding of the rough and rock ribbed
road. Then came the click of ironshod
hoofs, the crack of the long mule whip,
and resonant imprecation in Spanish
leveled at the invisible draft ami

southwark path, Sergeant Wing soon
reached the roadside, and there found
Pike in converse with brace of horse
men.
