The big Servian crouched on his knees
near by, his finger on the trigger of

unkempt. The wound in Zmai's scalf
had broken out afresh, and he had
twisted colored handkerchief about it
to stay the bleeding. A hundred yards
away the waterfall splashed down the
defile, and it's faint murmur reached
them. A wild dove rose ahead Of Ar

tense as the horses galloped nearer
The men behind the cedar lined wall
heard only the hollow thump Of hoofs
and Claiborne's voice calling to Arnli

whereabouts.
But the eyes Of the three conspira.
tors were fixed on Armitage. 1t was
his life they sought. The others old
not greatly matter. And so John Ar
mitage rode across the little plain where
the lost legion had camped for a year
at the end Of great war; and as he
rode on the defenders of the bowlder
balricade saw his white face and noted
the. useless arm hanging and swaying
and felt in spite Of themselves the
strength Of his tall, erect figure.
