gray as dust Slack up on the ropest" he commanded horseIy. March them down to Pizen; they can tell their story there"
 Falling behind the mob, which was moving away like many jointed crea- ture, Merrill saw an opportunity to pause in shadow and let them all proceed without him.
 She has come to hunt me up." he muttered. "But-Im ashamed to let her know me-now."
 The crowd of men with the captives had scattered when Merrill came to Pizen Spring, the town on the edge of the mines in the mountains and the cattle ranges in the valley.
 The three men had been able to prove themselves miners and entirely inno- cent of the crime for which they came so near losing their lives.
 The girl. who had fallen in with the miners by chance, had come to Pizen in search of her brother. Her name was Maggie Drew. Her stepfather, she said. had been dead a year; her mother was i'll; the work of the ranch had devolved upon herself. She had heard that Bronson Drew, her brother was in Nicoll Valley, and now that the step parent was alive no longer, she had hopes that if she could find him he would willingly go back to the place She had come in the dress of a boy because of its convenience and It's suit ability to her purpose. She had never seen nor heard from this brother du- ring more than seven years of his ab- Sence.
 As Merrill started to walk to his cabin that evening a man stepped out in the path before him. Evening" he said, and made to pass.
 "Evening. Bronson Drew" replied the man.
 He turned sharply Who told you that? Who are your he demanded The voice sounded half familiar, but he could not recognize the bearded face in the shadow.
 Don't say a word" replied the stranger Come here a little and I'll tell you something about your sister. It's something you'll be glad to know.
 There was ample acknowledgment of the name of Drew and his kinship with the girl in 'FMerrilPs" silent compliance with the mans request He was on the alert for any suspi- cious movement. but he was entirely unprepared for a ruffian who glided be- hind them at the corner and dealt him blow on the back of the head with a clubbed revolver He sank without a sound to the earth.
 When he regalned his senses, Drew found himself lying on the dusty floor of a cabin. Dawn had broken. but the place was dark. He failed to recognize anything familiar. even as the light in creased dull pain was throbbing al the base of his brain. At length the door was opened; the man who had brought him to the place came quietly in.
 Good morning, Bronson" said the man, as he noted the two brilliant eyes regarding his face Didn't know me did you, when we met last night?' Everything came back to the wound ed man in a flash. He knew his as- sajlant now-his step-father's son. Charlie Marshall. the creature who had broken up the home, He could make no reply, gagged and powerless as he was.
 Don't be a cur. speak up to your brother taunted Marshall, grinning with delight. Cant you get up and break my Jaw like you did before! No? Now that's a pity The man who was bound could see behind the scared and bearded face and he discovered again the malicious countenance of the boy he had met when his mother married Caleb Mar shall and plunged them all in trouble. Again he listened to the sneering taunts heaped by the interloper on his | mother, his sister and himself; again l he resented the intrusion of this hu- man brute; again he fought the fight in which he nearly killed the fellow | for an unbearable insult to Maggie His blood" surged hotly as he under ] went again the rage which on that oc-
