The stranger, by this time, was fully

1t was growing dark, the outside

against the sides of the car, and it's

then came to a humping stop at some
desert station. Through the black
window few lanterns could be seen
Pickering about, and there arose the
sound of gruff voices speaking. The
sleepers inside, aroused by the sharp
stop, rolled over and swore, seeking
easier postures. Then the front door
opened, and slammed shut, and new
passenger entered. He came down
the aisle, glancing carelessly at the
upturned faces, and finally sank into
the seat directly opposite Hope. He
was broad shouldered man, his coat
buttoned to the throat, with strong
face showing clearly beneath the
broad hat brim and lighted up with
pair of shrewd. kindly eyes. The con-
ductor came through, nodded at him,

partially aside the girls veil, per-
hitting the glare of "Sheeny Mikes"

face. 1t was accomplished so openly
as to appear planned, but before he
could reel away again, Fairbain struck
out, and the man went down. With
an oath he was on his feet, and Hope
covered back against her protector.
Each man had weapons drawn, the
crowd scurrying madly to keep out of
the line of fire, when, with stride, a
new figure stepped quietly In between
them. Straight as an arrow, broad
shouldered, yet small wasted as a
woman, his hair hanging low over his
coat-collar, his face smooth shaven
except for long moustache, and
emotionless, the revolvers in his belt
