At 7 o. m. Bloodshot Pete wan
dered into Tip Buckets place and
called for a large mug OF gros.
Then he walked drowslly over
TO a chair beside the warm stove
and tipped himself back against
the wall.
Four men, masked and with
their guns drawn, stood crouehed
behind a rock at the side Of the
tracks Of the 1. z. q NJ.
A glow Of bright light shining
across the canyon sisnalled the
approach Of the Gulf Express
COMING I'D the mountain side and
nearing the curve.
Rloodshot Pete dashed out from
behind the rock and placed a red
lantern on the track.
His companions Joined him as
the locomotives whistle sounded
a shriIi blast. as there came the
scrapina Of brakes tightly set and
an the train came to a standstill.
The engineer and fireman were
quickly covered and the train cut,
leaving only the express car to
the engine, and then the engineer
was ordered to pull mile down
the track.
The small safe In the express
car yielded only one long bag. but
Il was crammed full Of gold, and
heavy.
u was all the four train rob-
bers could do to lift II through
the door.
The engineer wac ordered
with his engine back TO the train
and opened his throttle, obeyin9
the word.
From the disappearing express
car, however, there sounded four
quick shots and tho three COM
panIons Of Bloodshot Pete fell
dead In their tracks.

could do was to make progress by

In desperation he would grasp
the loops again and again and

was snap and a giving away
and a spill.
