CHAPTER XIX.


The Door Opens, and Closes Again.
In one sense Hampton had greatly
enjoyed Miss Spencer's call. Her
bright, fresh face. her impulsive
speech, her unquestioned beauty. had
had their effect upon him, changing
for the time being the gloomy trend
of his thoughts.
But gradually the slight smile of
amusement faded from his eyes.
Something, which he had supposed
lay securely hidden behind years and
distance, had all at once come back
to haunt him-the unhappy ghost Of
an expiated crime. to do evil to this
girl MAZDA. Two men. at least. knew
sunicient of the past to cause serious
trouble. This effort by slavin to hold
personal communication with the girl
was evidently made for some definite
purpose. Hampton decided to have q
face.to.face interview with the man
himself; he was accustomed to fight
bis battles in the open, and to a finish.
A faint hope, which had been growing
DINNER and DINNER with every pass
Ing year, began to flicker once again
within his heart. He desired to see
this man Murphy, and to learn exactly
what he knew.
He entered the almost deserted sa-
loon opposite the hotel, across the
threshold of which he had not stepped
for two years, and the man behind the
bar glanced up apprehensively.
RED Slavin?" he said. "Well, now.
see here, Hampton, We don't want no
trouble in this shebang."
I'm not here seeking fight, Jim,"
returned the inquirer, genially. II
merely wish to ask Red an unimpor-
tant question or two"
Hes there in the back room, I
reckon, but he's damn liable to take
pot shot at you when you 60 in."
Hampton's genial smile only broad
ened, as he carelessly rolled an un-
light cigar between his lips.
He walked to the door, flung it
swiftly and silently open. and step
ping within, closed it behind him with
his left hand. In the other glittered
the steel-blue barrel of drawn revol-
yer. r.N,T.! ~.
"Slavin, sit down."
The terse, imperative words seemed
fairly to cut the air, and the red
bearded gambler, who had half risen
to his feet, an oath upon his lips, sank
back into his seat, staring at the ap-
partition confronting him as If fasci-
mated.
Put your hands on the table, and
keep them there!" he said. Nov, my
dear friend, have come here in
peace, not war, and take these slight
precautions merely because I have
heard rumor that you have indulged
in a threat or two since we last part
ed, and know something of your i'm
petuous disposition. l regret the ne
cessity, but trust you are resting COM
fortably."
"Oh, 60 to hell!"
"We will consider that proposition
somewhat later" Hampton laid his
hat with calm deliberation on the
table. "No doubt, Mr.. Slavin,-if you
move that hand again I'll fill your sys-
TEN with lead-you experience some
very natural curiosity regarding the
object of my unanticipated, yet hope
no less welcome visit"

CHAPTER Xxx.

Inc NOnOrt8 OF JuOSo IyOCns
Hampton staggered blihdly to his
feet, looking down on the motionless
body. For a moment the room ap-
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
number of men tanning the narrow
doorway, and became aware of their
loud, excited voices.- Back to his be-
numbed brain there came with a rush
the whole soene, the desperation OF
h4s present situation. He had been
found alone with tho dead man. Those
mon, when they came surging in at
traoted by the noise of strife, had
found him lying on slavin. his hand
clvtohing the knife-hilt. He ran his
eyes over their herriaed faces. and
knew instantly they held him the mur-
derer.
The sheck of this discovery steadied
him. He realized the meaning, the
dread, terrible meaning, fer he knew
the west. its fierce. implacable spirit
of vengeance, its mercilsss code Of
lynch.law. The vigilantes of the min
ing camps were to him al old story;
more than once he had witnessed
their work. been cognizant of their
power. This was no time to parley or
g hesitate. He grabbed the loaded
revolver lying upon the floor. and
swung Slavin's discarded belt across
his shoulder.
STAND aside. gentlemen" he COM
manded. '.Step back, and let me
pass!"
They obeyed. He swept them with
watchful eyes. stepped past and slam
med the door behind him. Men were
already beginning to pour into the sa-
loon. uncertain yet Of the facts, and
shouting questions to each other. To
tally ignoring these. Hampton thrust
himself recklessly through the crowd.
Halfway down the broad steps Buck
Mason faced him, in shirt sleeves, his
head uncovered. an ugly as" in his
uplifted hand. Just an instant the
eyes of the two men met, neither
doubted the grim purpose of the other.

Hampton never hesitated. I'm sor.

anybody else mixed up In this fuss.
II you'll promise me chance for my
life. Buck. Ill throw up my hands.
But prefer bullet to mob"
The little marshal was sandy y-haired,
freckle-faced, and all nerve. The
crowd jammed within the Occidental
had already turned and were surging
toward the door. Hampton knew from
long experience what this meant;
these were the quickly infamed CO.
horts of Judge Lynch-they would act
first, and reflect later. His square
jaws set like trap.
"All right. Bob" said the marshal.

So intensely still was 1t, Hampton
could distinguish the faint ticking Of
the watch in his pocket, the hiss Of
the breath between the giants clinch-
ed teeth. No wretch dragged Shrek
ing to the scaffold could have formed
more pitiful sight, but there was no
mercy in the eyes of the man watch
ing him.

gether convulsively, his throat SWELL

belt with your left hand-your left,
said! Drop it on the foor."
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, graspins his pistol-arm at
the wrist, and striving with hairy
hand to get 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
crunch his victim within his vise-like
arms. There was a moment Of su-
perhuman strain, their breathing
mere sobs of exhaustion. then Slavin
slipped, and Hampton succeeded in
wriggling partially free from his death
grip. It was scarcely an instant, yet
it served; for as he bent aside, swing
his burly opponent with him, someone
struck vicious blow at his back; but
the descending knife, missing its
mark. sunk instead deep into Slavin's
breast.
Hampton saw the fash Of a blade, q
portion of an arm, and then the
clutching fingers of Slavin swept him
down. He reached out bljndly as he
fell, his hand closing about the de-
serted knife-hilt. The two crashed
down together upon the floor. the
force of the fall driving the blade
home to the gamblers heart.
