Say, Bill" said another one of the

Kid has the money in his wagon I'll
hold him while you fellows go through
the truck and find it. Come on, kid,
git down off there.
Robbie could not move. He saw that
he had no chance to make a fight, but
he could not bear tamely to submit to
the robbery. He did not have to make
decision. The young man suddenly
rode up to the seat. grabbed him by the
leg and threw him off into the soft
desert sand. There he was held while
the wagon was ransacked and the
money discovered and divided.
That part. of the work done, the three
robbers Embarrassed the mules and
drove each one away. Then they rode
away swiftly, leaving Robbie bruised
and heartsick in the desert, miles from
town and miles from camp--with> only
the thought that through him his
father had been ruined. He was stupe-
fed by the seriousness of his plight.
He felt utterly alone under the sun,
and, turning on his face. he broke into
hysterical sobs, his tears falling hot
on the sand.
AS he lay there on his face and grew
calmer he wondered how he was to get
word TO his father of the predicament.
He had seen the desperadoes drive off
the mules. He could not walk over the
hot desert sands in the July sunshine.
He must wait until later in the after
noon and then hurry on through the
twilight.
But as he lay there with his head
buried in his arms he heard an animals
step near him and felt the hot breath
of mule on his neck. The faithful
animal, driven away by the whip of a
wicked man, had returned to it's master.
Rob sprung to his feat Before the
astonished mule knew what was in
store for him Rob had flung on a bride
and jumped on the creatures back. Hot
over the desert sands they went toward
the camp His father and the men must
know of the robbery. The ambling old

money forwarded to McKittrick by ex-

The boss of the oil borers was salts
fled. The work would go on
When Robbie left McKittrick on the
following Monday to begin his 80 mile
teaming over the desert he had in the
wagon $780, which was the last money
that his father could raise If oil was
not struck before it was gone then the
work would be failure.
Rob was healthy boy IA years old,
not given to brooding over any hard
ships he might have to undergo, but
the desert is lonely place and six
mules driven by Jerk line" are not
the best company in the world.
Through the clouds Of sitting sand
the boy drove on. He had the arid
landscape to himself until late in the
afternoon.
When still short distance from the
camp he looked back and saw three
men. following him on horseback They
had guns in their hands, and the boy,
thinking they We're cowboys from the
great ranches in the hills back of the
well paid no particular attention to
them until they were abreast of him.
He turned to give them a friendly
greeting, and found that three rifles
were pointed at him.
1t is not pleasant for any one to be
in the focus of three guns, particularly
when they are handled by three des-
perate looking men with loud voices
and dangerous gestures
The men wanted the money-the $500
which Rob was taking out to the well
to enable his father TO complete the
work. Without it the boy knew that
his fathers task was hopeless

stoutly
