SANDY THE SUBSTITUTE.

CONTINUED from page eighO
woman who shrieked again and again
and sinuously twisted herself to and
fro as would a pantheress battling for
her mate.
Their breathing became iabored, and
IN that wintry cold their faces were
bespangled with perspiration.
All, the fingers had reached fiTmer
ho,d and were relentlessly closing up
on him, cutting off from his heayins
lungs the ..ie-burdHned air, adding TO
the reelng of his senses and subdu'
ing his giant strength. No, he didn't
want TO kill either of those against
whom he was pitted in this terrible
conflict-almost anything but that.
Through him. like flashes of light,
went projects of action. He could not
beat the woman off, because her 20
sition across his free arm and should
er prevented such method. He could
not find 1t In his heart to turn his
pistol against her supple body and
send out her life in sacrifice. 1t must
be Weatherford's life now and one
bullet must do the work. 1t must De
a sure shot and we'll planted.
With eyes widely staring and
tongue protruding, he made the last
play. Slowly and surely his arm
doubled upward beneath her until the
straining elbow partly carried her
weight. The muzzle of the gun, as II
in itself intelligent, crept up and was
feeling. slowly feeling, for the back
of the desperado's head, in steady
quest of a certain, vital target. A
purpose laden finger was twitching
room the menacing trigger.
The woman's screams became means
of terrorized anguish. She felt that
arm that she had pinioned beneath
the weight of her body, and that she
vainly strove to hold down, lifting lift
ing, felt the quivering muscles eX-
banding, and realized the mission OF
that black muzzle that came up and
met her view. In this thing of steel
she saw the invincible antagonist that
was bent on destroying her husband
and weakened and hopeless, saw no
chance for reprieve in other than alb
ject surrender.
| She unclasped her reluctant fingers
from Sandy's throat and fell Imply
at his feet, beseeching him for mercy
and as If caresses and supplications
would receive answer, clasped his legs
and prayed for truce.
The two men stood pantingly, while
on her knees In the trampled snow a
woman wrung her hands and screamed
again and again:
For the love of God don't shoot
anything but that! For Gods sake
don't kill him!"
She was no longer the tigress but
the woman vanquished, collapsed, who
sought by breathless pleading and
hys erical sobs to spare, for any al
tentative, the life of her husband.
What the future might hold was prop
lematical, but against this rock could
be naught but vain beating. That
sinewy, grim, flame-headed man with
the eyes of steel, would kill. In him
was the ineXorable, and in his hand
was the unfeeling instrument of death,
ready to pass the irrevocable stenence
and sound the farewell Of chance.
Captive and captor, tied together by
steel, the former with his body twisted
awkwardly where he might look upon
the woman, paused with relaxed jaws
and tumultuously heaving breasts
And from the lacerated hand of the
one there dripped, dripped, dripped un
ceasingly and in weakening volume, a

upon them. No one seemed to have
initiative. Then pity awoke and the
room became babel of sound
why, he couldn't have pulled The
trigger if he'd wanted to- said the
man who had stopped over and lifted
the hand holding the gun.
Here, you" to bystander, get
some snow and some ice water. His
hands frozen stiff with his fingers in
the shield Got to thaw it off mighty
careful"
They sent for Malone.
And when the sheriff was helped
wonderingly in, hobblins on his sound
foot and jingling bundle of keys with
which to separate them, they were
still together in unconsciousness, while
hot brandy was being forced between
their bleeding lips.
The woman, with downcast eyes,
painfully aware of the curious looks in
the throng around her, given as If to
pariah's partner, took the letter ad-
dressed in the unfamiliar handwriting
and hurried TO her cabin.
1t was not easy to read:

men-and the law.

men-and the law.
Once the captive would have laid
down, saying he preferred death to
going farther, and Sandy talked rough
ly. His determination never diminish
ed nor flickered. He used physical
methods that were effective. But al
ways they advanced.
AS dusk came on, the heartless wind
of the solitude arose, cutting their
chilled gray faces with diamond-like
silverings of ice torn from the ghost
like surface. The frost stole calmly
into their labor distended nostrils,
across their blanched cheeks and into
the weary eyelids. They walked even
closer together now for warmth and
found no comfort in attempts at rest
The stars peered at them coldly
through the wind-whirped swirls, long
before they sighted the lights OF the
camp marked as their destination, and
the stars only rendered the way more
desolate.
The camp glmmerings became elu-
sively dancing will-o'the-wisps that
iuggled with them in cruelty and al
ways kept perplexingly in advance,
The journey seemed ever more end
less and the cold ever more chilling.
The distance seemed never to de-
crease. They were beyond speech and
emotion and almost beyond suffering.
Life itself was awearied with the
struggle. From the place where the
lights shone nearest, as they stumbled
stiffly forward, came the click OF roui-
ette wheels. the hum OF voices, and
the sound Of a mauldin cowpuncher-
song droned in chorus. Like all the
other cabins, although It appeared less
than hundred feet distant from them
1t shifted until they felt that miles
had been traversed before they feeoiy
Iunged against the door, mutely striy-
ing for entrance.
Even as they had fought together
walked together, and suffered togeth-i
err throughout the day they fell, uncon-
scious together, when the door was
suddenly thrown open. Fell together
across the threshold into the smoky
room where was light and warmth and
rest; fell silently, disordered' shape
less. relaxed heap upon the dirt-strewn
floor.
The crowd swept around them, awed
into silence by this inexplicable thing
The wheels stopped, the bankers hasti-
lv showed their "bank-rolls' into
places OF security and joined the
throng, leaving the layouts stilled into
unusual idleness. Curiously they gazed
