later with Seagrue disarmed ahead OF
him. The deserted battle-ground was
alive with men. Stormy German, hot

seeing Dancing killed, and not being
able TO tell from Whispering Smiths
peculiar tactics which. side he was
shooting at, German and his compan-
ions had gone for help. While they
angrily surrounded Karg and Seagrue.
Smith slipped from his horse where
