coughing soldier crept up beneath 1t,

CHAPTER XIII.
The Door Closes.

Totally exhausted, the two men
dropped their heavy burden on the
earth. Mason swore as the blood be-
gan dripping again from his wound,
which had been torn afresh in his eff
forts to bear Hampton to safety. Just
below them a mounted trooper caught
sight of them and came forward. He
failed to recognize his officer in the
begrimed person before him, until
called to attention by the voice of
CO mmand
Sims, If there is any water in your
canteen, hand it over. Good; here,
Marshal, use this. Now, Sims, note
what | say carefully, and don't waste
a minute. Tell the first sergeant to
send file of men up here with some
sort of a litter, on the run. Then you
ride to the Herndon house-the yellow
house where the roads fork, you re-
member-and tell Miss Nadia ellis
(don't forget the name) that Mr..
Hampton has been seriously wounded.

Can you remember that?'
Yes, sir"
Then off with you, and don't spare
the horse"
He was gone instantly and Brant
began bathing the pallid, upturned
face.
You'd better lie down. Marshal"
he commanded. You're pretty weak
from loss of blood, and can do all
there is to be done until those fell
lows get here"
In 10 minutes they appeared, and
five minutes later they were toiling
slowly down to the valley, Brant walk
ing beside his still unconscious rival.
Here and there down the street, but
especially about the steps of the Occi-
dental, were gathered the discounted
vigilantes, busily discussing the affair,
and cursing the watchful, silent
guard. AS these caught sight of the
little party approaching there were
shouts of derision. The sight and
sound angered Brant.

confidently, his voice ringing out with

He stepped back, lifted a silver
whistle TO his lips, and sounded one
sharp, clear note. There was a grow

cheer, a crashing through the under
brush. and squad of eager troopers,
half-dressed but with faces glowing
in anticipation of trouble, came gal
