lighting the lamp on the table. THE
skeetersll eat us alive"
Williston stepped to the door. Just
a moment he stood there in the door
way, the light streaming out into the
night, tall, thoughtful, no weakling in
spite of many failures and many mis-
takes. A fair mark he made outlined
against the brightly lighted room. 1t
was quiet. Not even coyote shrilled.
And while he stood there looking up
at the calm stars, a sudden sharp re-
port rang out and the sacred peace of
G..d, written in the serenity of still
SKINNER nights, was desecrated. Hiss
ing and ominous, the bullet sang past
Williston's head, perilously near, and
lodged in the opposite wall. At that
moment the light was blown out. A
great presence of mind had come to
Mary in the time of imminent dan
ger"
Good, my dear" cried Williston in
low tones. Quick as flash the door
a second shot fell foul of it.
"Oh. my father" cried Mary, crop
ing her way to his side
Hush. my dear, They missed me
clean. Don't lose your nerve, Mary.
They won't find it so easy after ALL"
There had been no third shot A
profound silence followed the second
Tbara Of
or man. Whence, then, the shots?
One man. maybe, creeping up like
some foul beast of prey to strike in
the dark. Was he still lurking near,
abiding another opportunity?
1t took but a moment for Williston
to have the rifles cooked and ready.
Mary took her own from him with a
hand that trembled ever so slightly.
What will you do, father?" she
asked, holding her rifle lovingly and
thanking God in swift. uniformed
thought for every rattlesnake or other
noXious creature whose life she had
put out while doing her mans work of
riding the range-work which had Civ.
en- her not only mans courage, but a
mans skill as well
Take the back window, girl" he
answered briefly. "I'll take the front.
Stand to the side. Get used to the
starlight and shoot every shadow you
see. especially If 1t moves. Keep track
of your shots, don't waste an effort
and don't let anything creep up on
you. They mustn't get near enough
to fire the house"
His voice was sharp and incisive.
The drifting habit had fallen from him
and he was his own master again.
Several heavy minutes dragged
away without movement, without
sound from without The ticking of
the clock pressed on strained ears like
ghastly bell-tolling. Their eyes be-
came accustomed to the darkness, and
by the dim starlight they were able to
distinguish the outlines of the cattle
sheds, still, empty. black. Nothing
moved out there.
Il think they're frightened on" said
Mary at last, breathing more freely.
They were probably just one, or
they'd not have left. He knew he
missed you, or he would not have fired
again. Do you think 1t was Jesse?"
