At the end he merely said: Al right. Let them come: they will find us ready Die the kid turn up all right3"
 He turned up but he has taken a chill and is burning with fever
 Munro seemed concerned. "He had nothing on but that little gray jacket 1 tried to warm him up with some whisky and supper. l hope he won't be laid up. Well, now, old man, what are you going to do-help us or the dudes?''
 Il can't decide anything tonight. I'm worried about this boy. If he is better ;n the morning I'll have something de- cisive to say to you.'
 'Al right; take your time, only don't take too long. It's up to you to decide Good night Keep me posted on the boys condition.'
 A half hour later Jim Dolan and two or three of his fellow reporters tum- bled in, eager to know what Raymond had seen in the valley.
 To them he said: Boys, haven't a word to say. I'm sorry I can't offer you bed, for Louis, my boy friend, is very sick. Dolan, l wish you would send up the best doctor in Bozle Tell him there's money in it if he comes tonight
 To Matt, Raymond turned. GO on with your meeting without me. can do nothing till this boy lodges this tantly, to meet with the leaders of the neutral party, robbed of half his reso- lution, for he, too, loved the sick lad.
 At 12 o'clock, when some of the men were passing, Raymond went out and called Baker and said in the tone of one who had at last decided on plan of action, T want you to carry message to Boggy and see that it gets there''
 And Baker, having long training as cowboy behind him, accepted his order like soldier.
 The telegram was addressed to the sheriff and read:
 They're on to your box car game. Look out! A PEACE LOVER.
 At 1 o'clock Kelly returned with low ering brow. II wish you'd been there. lad. They're afraid of Munro and vot- ed me down. We are to do nothin'.'
 Raymond. submerged in the rising flood of his anxiety, looked at his part ner duly. Well, perhaps it's better so, Matt. gave my word to Ann that l would care for this boy as if he were my brother, and I'm going to do it. re- gardless of every other consideration. If he grows worse shall send for Ann, and then will have double req son to keep out of the movement"
 Toward daylight Raymond called Kelly. "Send a message to Ann. Louis is a mighty sick boy and needs her care."
