II was beyond human endurance to
support the leaden death. The little
square Of brass between the sights
wavered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled
on his knees, and staggering plunged
loosely forward on the sand. Whis-
pering Smith threw his fire toward
the bowlder behind which Sinclair
and Barney Rebstock had disappeared.
Suddenly he realized that the bullets
from the point were not coming his
way. He was aware of a second rife
duel above the bend. Wickwire, worm
tng his way down the stream. had un.
covered Sinclair and young Rebstock
from behind. A yell between the
shots rang across the wash, and the
bringing figure of a man ran out to-
ward Whispering Smith with his hands

and Bob Scott dashed down toward
the river bed on their horses. Sea.
grue lay on his face. Young Reb-
stock sat with his hands around his
knees on the sand. Above him at
some distance, Wickwire and Smith
stood before a man who leaned against
the sharp cheek Of the bowlder at the
point. In his hands his rifle was held
across his lap Just as he had dropped
on his knee to fire. He had never
moved after he was struck. His head.
dropping little. rested against the
rock. and his hat lay on the sand; his
heavy beard had sunk into his chest
and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep.
Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the
mountains there was no double for
Murray Sinclair.
When he jumped behind the point to
pick Whispering Smith off the ledge

Wickwire's fire across the wash. The

had passed, as he knelt, through both

claimed, turning without releasing his
wife from his arms, how can / ever
