villains into Silver Cliff alive or dead, and
were going to keep our word"
1t was evident that the miners in San Luis
Valley would not feel secure so long as three
such men were in the vicinity, and the wisest
thing they could do was to rid the country of
Tom and his companions, even though con
siderable time and labor were expended in
effecting their purpose
"Fasten the donkeys down by the stream,
and stay here to watch for the boys when
they come over from Silver Cliff. III have to

Tom. Well have plenty of help before morn
ing, and if they shouldn't happen to get here
until after sunset, build fire so they'll know
where to find u.s."
Then Bart left the boys to act as sentinels
as the opening of the ravine, and in few
moments more the discharge of firearms told
that he was showing the road agents that it
would be useless for them to try to escape
from the trap. in which they had voluntarily
placed themselves.
There was no necessity for starting the bea-
con-6re, for half an hour before sunset five
miners appeared in the valley, and the boys
warned Bart of their approach.
"Ride out, and tell them just how we're
fixed here, and ask them to go through the
woods until they have surrounded the road

"'Well, youngsters" said the man who had
acted as master of ceremonies on the day
when they delivered the road agents plunder
in the barroom of the Cliff Hotel, sit seems
that you've struck it rich down this way, SO
I reckon, you've given up catching road
agents, eh?"
"There are three in the rayine now that
we'd like to CATCH" replied Kirk, laughingly,
'and you'll have to help"
Then he told him of Bart's proposition that
they should surround the claim jumpers, and
explained the situation of affairs as well as
he could.
You see to our outfit, and well soon get
care of the scoundrels, and you can tell Bart
that he will hear from us early tomorrow
morning
There was hardly more than sufficient time
before dark for the newcomers to surround the
fortification, and, leaving all their goods on
the ground for the boys to care for, they
started through the woods, each one diseharg-
ing his weapon as signal to Bart that they
had arrived.
By packing the goods onto the burros, the
boys were enabled to carry them all into the
woods where Bart was, at one load, and then
Kirk set about cooking supper, while Dory
stacked the baggage up where it would be
undisturbed until such time as the owners
should come for it.
"We're all right now," said Bart, confident

of either, and during the entire night both
kept watch, not daring even to whisper, lest
the sound of their voices might betray their
whereabouts, and thus tell the road agents
where they might find target for their
bullets.
With the. first light Of morning, the boys
stood watching in anxious expectation the
progress of events for they knew that some
decided action would begin.
That the miners were posted in advantage
GUS positions could be seen when, as one OF
the logs forming the barricade was moved a
little, as if the occupants were about to ven
ture out, seven bullets from as many different
points, sent with unerring aim, struck the
timber, causing the splinters to fly in every
direction.

longer" said Kirk, as he understood that the
road agents were completely hemmed in,

"I expect that's exactly what they would
like to do," said Dory; "but you must remem-
ber that Bart took very good care that they
didn't have the chance. They probably
thought that they numbered as many as
Bart would be likely to bring, and they could
force their way out whenever they wanted to.
They know by this time that they made a
mistake"
Indeed, the road agents were fully aware of
the mistake they had made, as was shown a
few moments later, when white rag, fasten-
ed to the end of a rihe-barrel. was showed up
through the crevices of the barricade.

not be likely to be in danger when the battle
began, started out on the plain once more, in

advanced cautiously, Juntil they thought they
were within half tife-shot of the fortifca-
