Ut is dawn in the valley of the Sweet
water. The outfit of Sweetwater

In the absence OF her husband Echo
Payson had assumed complete charge
of the ranch and with the help of
Sagebrush had carried on the work
just as she thought Jack would do.
hoping against hope for his return in
safety and hiding her sorrow from
those about her.
Under cluInp of cottonwood a chuck
wagon has halted. Many of the boys
on the roundup are still asleep, the
night herders returning to camp. The
cook, Parenthesis, has started his prep
arations for breakfast.
Parenthesis is mixing dough in a
dishpan set on tie tailboard Sage
brush kneels near him, putting on his
spurs preparatory to saddling up, as he
goes on the first relief.
"Wake up Texas an the other boys,
Fresno ordered Sagebrush. The Cal
ifornian threw away the butt of his
cigarette and shook each man by the
shoulder. With much yawning and
rubbing Of eyes the men crawled from
their sleeping bags. Dashing cold wa
ter into their faces from basin beside
the water barrel, they drank copiously
of the coffee which Parenthesis poured
out for them.
Mostly al the boys are IN now, amt
they?" asked Parenthesis, looking
about the group.
yep" answered Sagebrush. we'll
finish brandin' the calves today. l
reckon Fresno will have to take charge
of the drive l can't leave the ranch
until Jack gets back
Show Low was the only sleeper who
had not responded to Parenthesis' call.
That worthy walked over and gave
him kick which brought forth grunt.
but no other sign of an awakening.
Returning to the fire, Parenthesis took
tin cup and poured himself out cup
of coffee.
Heard any word from him yet?' he
asked as he gulped the beverage.
'Nothin',' replied Sagebrush grimly
s.Slim wrote from Fort Grant he was

saving their revolver shots. The Indi-
ans were closing in for the last rush.
Hardie dismOunted his men and
threw his troop as groups Of skirmish-
ers down the draws leading into one
side Of the canyon. Slim and his posse
were on the left flank, armed with re-
volvers. Hardie, with a section, dash
ed down the trail
They came upon the Apaches with
the rush of mountain torrent, strik-
ing them in the front and on the flank.
The cavalrymen fired at will, each
plunging from one cover to another as
he picked out his man.
The Indians for a few moments re-
piled shot for shot. Their stand was a
short one, however, and they began to
fall back
Slim entered the canyon at the head
of the scouts, driving the Apaches be-
fore him. Both Jack and Dick had
fallen. Across the bodies a wave of
the battle flowed
! Once the Indians rallied, but so sud-
den was the attack, so irresistible the

Apaches. A volley crashed up and
across the canyon. Both men fell lock
ed in each others arms, then lay still.
The Indians awaited the result Of
the shots. The strange actions of the
men might be only ruse. Silence
would mean they were victorious.
Both Jack and Dick had been struck.
Jack was the first to recover. Reviv
ing, he struggled out of the clasp Of
his unconscious comrade. He's hit

Jack was on his hands and knees
crawling toward his rifle when his
comrade spoke.

they rush save one shot for yourself

Eyes, not alivew answered Dick
weakly, his voice thin and his face
ashen and white with pain.

an effort, raised himself and peered
over the edge.
They're getting ready Will you
take my hand nowY' he asked as he
held it out to Dick.
II sure willv' his wounded comrade
cried, grasping it with all the strength
he possessed.
Jack smiled in his happiness. He
felt he had made his peace with all
men and at last was ready to meet
death with a clear conscience.

the fight, showed they felt confident Of

closed in on them.

at Clearwater spring. Finding it but
mud and alkali, he had merely rested
his men and horses for a few hours
and then pushed on for Apache spring,
where he hoped to strike water The
troop rode through the early morning
hours, full of grit and keen to overtake
the Apaches, traces of whose fight
were becoming more evident every
mile. All WEAKNESS had vanished.
Even the horses felt there was some
thing in the air and answered the bugle
call with fresh vigor and go.
A scout first heard the firing at the
spring. He did not wait to investigate,
knowing he could do nothing alone.
The volleys, the difference in the re-
ports Of the rifles, proved to him that
a fight was on. He knew that the
Apaches were being held off. Gallop-
ing back to the troop, he reported the
fight to it's commander.
The ,bugles sounded. The horses
were forced into gallop. With clash
ing accouterments and jingling spurs
and bits they dashed across the mesa
to the head of the trail. Here they met
Elim Hoover and his posse coming from
an opposite direction.

that while he was alive Dick would

let 'em get me-

Dick, firing as he spoke.
Swiftly Jack PaysOn arose and faced
the Indians.
"Goodby!' he cried to his comrade.
Dick struggled to his feet and threw
himself on Jack to force him down be-
hind the barricade. For a moment
both men were in full view of the

Sagebrush. Things is strained to the
Dustin point, an any promise of gun
play is goin' to set off a whole lot Of
fireworks"
Show Low was on the verge of wax
ing up. This he did by gradually in
creasing the volume of each snore and
breaking it off with a whistle.
At the very moment Sagebrush sug-
gested gun play Show Low snorted his
loudest.
'What's thatY' asked Sagebrush,
grabbing his revolver
"Show Low. He's a regular brass
band when he gets started-from the
big trombone down to the tin whistle"
laughed Fresno.
"Its wonder he can sleep alongside
of that noise,''
"He can't" Fresno volunteered.
Hell wake himself up in a minute.
He's off now"
The shores of Show Low grew more
frequent until he climaxed his accom-
paniment of sleep with one awful
snort, which awakened him. "Eh,
what's that?' he yelled as he bounded
to sitting posture.

Sagebrush grinned and slowly arose,
gathering up his saddle and rope.
Swinging one over each arm, he
started toward the corral, saying:
"Come on, boys; we got lot to do to-
day. Git your hosses."
The night riders were coming into
camp, meeting their comrades with
grunts or in few words telling them
what to guard against in some par
ticular part of the grazing herd.
The sun had risen. The cattle were
on their feet browsing the short, sweet
grass, moving slowly toward the river
