Halt an hour later, laziiy opening
one eye. he perceived figure creep
ing cautiously through the bculders CT
the dry gulch about three ,.dred
yards distant. In its hand was q
rifle. The sheriff edged a little, so
that the tree covered him.
Bang! The Kids" first shot came
uncommonly near. The kid" thought
the sheriff asleep. but he thought that
he could put bullet through him at
that distance, SO that 1t was unneces-
sary to take any chances.
The sheriff did not reply, because 1t
IL difficult to hit an inch of eyebrow
at three hundred yards. He pulled the
mirror out Of his sleeve and handled
1t in his fingers. The second shot
went wild.
The sheriff rose quietly to his feet.
and he did not seem to be particu-
larly interested in the man in the
arroyo. for he strolled toward him in
quite casual manner. He still held
the mirror in his fingers. and he ad-
vanced so steadily. and apparently
disinterested and quiet in his mind,
that the reelection played always upon
that inch of eyebrow and the left eye
underneath it. And, try hard as he
might, the kid" could never get his
eye clear of that circle of light, unless
he ducked behind the stone. And
whenever he did so he always looked
up to see the sheriff a good deal
nearer. Yet the sheriff was strolling
toward him at the same even gait.
Bang! Bang! Bang! went the
kids" rifle. and the sheriff smiled
happily as he heard the bullets go
whistling by. far to the right and left
Of him. The fingers that held the mir.
ror did not waver an inch. The kid"
was becoming panic-stryck as we'll as
light-struck. 1t seemed like the inex-
orable approach Of doom, that quiet
even advent Of his enemy. The figure
came near and ever nearer, out of a
sort of luminosity that framed the
dazzling light-beam IKE a sheath.
The Kids" head ducked and came
up on the other side Of the stone.
And he leveled his rifle once again
into that beam Of light, and his bullet
plowed up the sand some twenty feet
distant.
Suddenly his chance came. The
sheriff. advancing with his eyes fixed
on the man in the gulley, tripped over
a stone. With shaking fingers the
kid" drew a bead on the PROSTATE
man and fired. The bullet went wild.
The kid" had lost his nerve as we'll

cartridge into the breech and aimed
once more-into the same sunbeam.
He flung his rife down and, spring.
