Hampton glanced aside apprehensive-

upon him, grasping his pistol-arm at
the wrist, and striving with hairy
hand to get a death-grip about his
throat. Twice Hampton's left drove
straight out into that red, gloating
face, and then the giants crushing
weight bore him backward. He fought
savagely, silently, his slender figure
like steel, but Slavin got his grip at
last, and with giant strength began to

body. For moment the room ap-

he clutched at the overturned table

turned, he perceived the figures of

numbed brain there came with a rush
the whole scene, the desperation of
his present situation. He had been
found alone with the dead man. Those
men, when they came surging in at

found him lying on Slavin, his hand
clutching the knife-hilt. He ran his
eyes over their Mortified faces, and
knew instantly they held him the MUIR

The shock of this discovery steadied
him. He realized the meaning, the
dread, terrible meaning, for he knew
of vengeance, its merciless code Of
lynch-law. The vigilantes of the min

more than once he had witnessed

to hesitate. He grabbed the loaded
revolver lying upon the floor, and
swung S1avin's discarded belt across
his shoulder.

The big gambler was thinking hard

thought in his life before. He knew
Hampton would kill him if he needed
to do so, but he likewise realized that
he was not likely to fire until he had
gained the information he was seek
ing. If he only knew how much infor-
nation the other possessed it would
be easy enough. AS he did not, he
must WELD his weapon blindly.

"Slavin," he said at last, his voice
hard, metallic. I've figured it out,

There was the spirit of murder in
his eyes, and the gambler covered

Slavin's face was drawn and gray,

upon his forehead, but he could Meth

those remorseless eyes, which seemed
to burn their way down into his very
