They were crack shots both, and they

excitement to evil eyes already over

But TO One man, pacing ~restlessly up
and down a sheltered glade. the crack

ens Of disaster. His heart leaped
painfully, and he bounded from the
shelter Of the r~hododendrons into the
aimless path that ambled from the

Like a startled deer he sped up

Next moment he had snatched the
dim white heap up to his breast and
was straining all his soul to pierce the
flower face 80 peacefully folded.
"LAuretty!" he cried in wild anguish.
"Oh. LaurettyT'
There was a tense moment while he
stood 80, holding the pretty head fallen
now across his arm. Then slowly the
newcomer raised a blazing face and
fixed the murderers before him.
His voice was as savage as any
