body. For a moment the room an.
peared to swim before his eyes, and
he clutched at the overturned table
for support. Then, as his senses re.
turned, he perceived the figures of a
number of men jamming the narrow
doorway, and became aware OF their
loud, excited voices Back to his be-
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

dread, terrible meaning, for he knew

Ing camps were to him an old story.
more than once he had witnessed

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

"Slavin," he said at last, his voice
hard, metallic. I've figured it out
and / do know you now, you lying
brute. You are the fellow who swore
you saw me throw away the gun that
did the shooting. and that afterwards

There was the spirit OF murder in
his eyes. and the gambler covered
back before them, trembling like a
child.

Slavin's face was drawn and gray,

to burn their way down into his very

There was an unusual sound behind,
such as a rat might have made, and
Hampton glanced aside apprehensive-
ly. In that single second Slavin was
upon him. grasping his pistol-arm at
the wrist, and striving with hairy
hand to get a deathgrip 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
crunch his victim within his yise-like
arms. There was a moment of su-
perhuman strain, their breathing
mere sobs of exhaustion. Then Slavin
slipped, and Hampton succeeded In |
