4 u Kee and Bud Lane entered an
arroyo to rest their mounts and hold
council as to their future movements.
During the flight both had been silent.
Mckee was busy revolving plans for
escape In his mind, and Bud was
brooding over the tragic ending of the
tawless adventure into which he had
been led by his companion.
When Mckee callously Informed him
that the agent had been killed in the
encounter Bud was too Mortified to
speak. A dry sob arose in his throat
at the thought of his old friend lying
dead all alone in the station. His
first impulse was to turn back to Flor
ence and surrender himself to the
sheriff. Had this entailed the pun
ishment of himself alone he would
have done So but he still retained
blind loyalty in his associate and prin-

his pent-up emotion burst forth

he gagped, passing his hand wearily
across his forehead as il to wipe out
the memory of the crime

gun fer!" grumbled Mckee petulant-
II. as if Terrill were the aggrCssor in
the encounter.
Bud threw himself YEARLY on the
ground.
I'D give the rest Of my life to undo
today's work." he groaned, speaking
more to himself than to his compan-
ion.
Mckee heard him. His anger began
to rise. If Bud weakened detection
was certain. Flight back to Texas
must be started without delay. If he
