ing, creeping. now stopping, now
creeping, stopping, creeping.
All at once the gun play began
again, sharp, quick, from the Spring,
from the sheds. The blot lay perfect
ly still for moment-waiting, watch
ing. The pluclly little rifle was silent.
But so it had been before. Quarter
length, half, whole length, cautiously
with frequent stops, eyes so steely, so
intent-could it be possible that this
gun was really silenced-out Of the
race? 1t would not do to trust too
much. The blot waited, scarcely
breathed, crept forward again.
A sudden bright light flashed up
through the darkness under the unpro-
tected wall to Mary's left. Almost
simultaneously a kindred light sprang
into being from the region of the cat
tle-sheds. The men down there had
been waiting for this signal. 1t
meant that for some reason the second
effort to creep up unobserved to fire
the house had been successful. The
flare grew and spread. 1t became a
glare.
When the whole cabin seemed to be
in flames save the door-the dry, rude
boarding had caught and burned like
paper-when the heat had become I'M
bearable, Williston held out his hand
to his daughter silently. AS silently
she put her hand, her left hand, in
his; nor did Williston notice that it
was her left, nor how Imply her right
arm hung to her side. In the glare,
her face shone colorless, but her dark
eyes were stars. Her head was held
high. With firm step, Williston ad-
vanced to the door. Deliberately he
unbarred it, as deliberately threw it
open and stepped over the threshold
They We're covered on the instant by
four rifles
Drop your guns," called the chief,
roughly. Then the desperadoes moved
up.
Il take it that l am the one
wanted" said Williston.
His voice was calm and scholarly
once more. In the uselessness of
further struggle, it had lost the sharp
incisiveness that had been the call to

CHAPTER K.
In Which the x Y z Figures Some
what Mysteriously.


Jim Munson, riding his pony over
the home trail at slow walk, drooped
sleepily in his saddle. 1t was not a
weirdly late bedtime, half-past ten,
maybe, but he would have been sleep
ing soundly u good hour or more had
this not been his night to go to town
If he chose. He had chosen. He
would not have missed his chance for
good deal. But his dissipation had
been light. The boss never tolerated
much along that line. He had drunk
with some congenial cronies from the
Circle h outfit complimentary to the
future well-being and increasing
wealth of this already well-known and
fiourishing cattle ranch. OF course
he must drink return compliment
TO the same rose-colored prosperity
for the Three Bars, which he did and
sighed for more. That made two, and
two were the limit, and here was the
limit overreached already; for there
had always to be last little com
forter to keep him from nodding in his
saddle.
1t was sleepy night, cool and soft
and still. He could walk his horse all
the way if he wanted to. There was
no haste. The boys would all be in
bed. They would not even wait up for
the mail, knowing his, Jims, innate
aversion to hurry. Had he not been
so drowsy, he would like to have sung
bit; but it required a little too much
effort He would just plod along.
Must all be in bed at Williston's-
no light anywhere. A little short of
where the Williston branch left the
main trail he half paused. If it were
not so late he would ride up and give
them hail. But of course they were
asleep. Everything seemed still and
dark about the premises. He would
just plod along.
Hello, there! Where'd you come
FROM" he cried of a sudden, and be-
fore he had had time to carry his re-
solve into action.
A man on horseback had drawn rein
directly in front of him. Jim blinked
with the suddenness of the shock.
Might ask you the same question"
responded the other with an easy
laugh. I'm for town to see the doc
tor about my little girl. Been puny
for a week"
"Oh! Where you from?" asked jim,
with the courteous interest of his
kind.
New man on the X Y e." answered
the other, lightly. Must be gittin' on.
Worried about my baby girl"
He touched spurs to his horse and
was off with friendly $50 long" over
his shoulder.
Jim rode on thoughtfully.
Now don't it beat the devil" he
was thinking, how that there cow
puncher struck this trail comm from
X Y with the X Y z clean t. other
side O town? Yep it beats the devil,
for a fac. He must be a ridin' for
his health. 1t beats the devil" This
last was long drawn out. He rode
little farther ut beats the devil" he
thought again-the wonder of it was
waking him up-"how that blamed
fool could a struck this here trail
goin' for doc"
At the branch road he stopped ir.
resolutely.

action. If one must die it is good to
die after brave fight. One is never
a coward then. Williston's face wore
an almost exalted look.
my daughter is free to go?" he
asked his first words having met
with no response. Better, much bet
ter, for the make of a man like Willis
ton to die in the dignity of silence,
but for Mary's sake he parleyed.
Il guess mott" responded the leader,
curtly. 'If pulin idiot hadn't missed
the broad side of you-as pretty a
mark this side heaven as man could
want-then we might talk about the
girl. She's showed up too damned
much like a man now to let her loose"
His big, shufIling form lounged in
his saddle. He raised his rifle with
every appearance of lazy Indifference.
They were to be shot down where
they stood, now, right on the thres-
hold of their burning homestead. Will
liston bowed his head to the newt
able for a moment; then raised it
proudly to meet the inevitable

clear. At the very moment the lead
er's hawk eye had swept the sight, his
rifle arm had twitched uncertainty,
then fallen nerveless to his side, while
his bullet, playing a faltering and
discordant second to the first true
shot, tore up the ground in front of
him and swerved harmlessly to one
side. Instantly the widest confusion
reigned-shouts, curses, the plunging
of horses mingled with the sharp
scrack of firearms. The shooting was
wild. The surprise was too COM
plete for the outlaws to recover at
once. They had heard no sound of ap-
preaching hoof-beats. The roaring
flames licking up the dry timber and
rendering the surrounding darkness
the blacker for the contrast had been
of saving grace to the besiegers after
all.
In a moment the desperadoes raj
lied. They closed in and imposed a
cursing, malignant wall between the
rescuers and the blazing door of the
shanty and what stood and lay before
1t. Mary had sunk down at her fathers
feet and had no cognizance of the
fierce though brief conflict that en-
sued.
Presently she was dragged roughly
to her feet. A big, muscular arm had
heavy grasp of her.
Make sure of the girl, Red!" COM
manded a sharp voice near, and it was
gone out into the night.
Afterward she heard-oh, many,
many times in the night Watches
the eerie galloping of horses hoofs,
growing fainter and ever fainter,
heard it above the medley of tramp
ling horses and yelling men, and knew

As her strained sight stared out in
to the darkness it was borne to her
fntuitively, it may be, that something
was creeping up on her. She could
see nothing and yet knew it to be
true. Every fiber of her being tingled
with the certainty of it. 1t was COM
ing closer and closer. She felt it like
an actual presence. Her eyes shifted
here, there-swept her half-circle
searchingly-stared and stared. Still
nothing moved. And yet the nearness
of some unseen thing grew more and
more palpable. If she could not see
it soon she must scream aloud. She
hrcathed in little quickened gasps.
Soon, very soon, she would scream.

1ne completeness of the surprise
