hind the first who broke from the
hotel to the open, nor yet appreciably
behind him In vaulting to saddle.
Well up the road cloud of smoky
dust half obscured the shapes Of three
who rode for their very lives.
The pursuit was off in a twinkling
and well bunched-Marrophat mount
leading by nose, Judith second, Hopi
Jim and Texas but little in the rear
And in the first rush they seemed to
gain; moment by moment they drew
up on the flying cloud of dust.
Judith heard an oath muttered be-
side her and saw Marrophat jerking a
revolver from it's holster. The weapon
swept up and to level; but as the
hammer fell, Judith's horse caromed
heavily against the other. swinging it
half a dozen feet aside, and DETECTING
the bullet hopelessly.
The shock Of collision was so great
that Marrophat kept his seat with diff
ficulty. He turned toward Judith a
face livid with rage.
simultaneously. as If taking the shot
as the signal for a fusillade, Judith
saw Alan lean back over his horses
rump and open fire.
An instant later his companion. Bar
Gus, initiated his example.
In immediate consequence, Texas
dropped reins. slumped forward over
the pommel, wabbled weakly in his
saddle for a moment, then losing the
stirrups, pitched headlong to the
ground; while Hopi Jim's horse
stopped short, precipitating his rider
overhead, and dropped dead.

The eyes of the bandit narrowed.
Hold on, my friend: is that what you
call my naming my own price,"
Name it, them said Urine.

the other, "and a paper saying you'll
pay me nineteen thousand more in ex'
change for it and one dead man, prop

Urine waved his hand at his secre'
tary. Jimmy, find thousand dollars

paper he indicates for the balance
and I'll sign It."

Urine? How do you know I'll do any

writing busily with the top of his at

"Slade," said the bandit, James
Slade." Again Urine punctured the at
mosphere with his index finger. The
man whose life ! want is named Alan
Law. He is running away with my
daughter, Rose, accompanied by a per
son named Barcus, disguised as a Pull

obscui ~, and then was gone.
Her eyes alone, indeed, could have
recognized the features Of Alan Law
IN that fugitive glimpse.
Two sentences exchanged between
Hopi Jim and a blear-eyed fellow
whom he reused from sodden slumbers
behind the bar sealed their confidence
with conviction: the three fugitives
were in fact guests of the house, oc-
cupying two Of the three rooms that
composed it's upper story.
In the rush that followed up the
narrow stairway, Judith led with such
spirit that not even Marrophat sus-
pected her revolver was poised solely
with intent to shoot from his hand his
own revolver the instant he leveled
it at human target.
Closed and locked doors confronted
them; and their summons educed no

the room was found to be as empty as
the first.
Only the fingers of two hands grip
ping the edge OF the veranda roof
showed the way the fugitives had
flown: and these vanished instantly as
the room was invaded.
Followed a swift rush of hoofs down
the dusty street, and a chorus of bias
phemy in the hotel hallway: for Ju-
dith had headed the concerted rush
for the staircase and contrived to
block it for a full half minute by pre-
tending to stumble and twist her
ankle.

as he rose.
From the canyon below a dun noise
Of galloping Aoors advertised toe plain
ly the failure of their attempt.
And Hopi jim turned back only to
find Judith mounted. refining her horse
in between him and Marrophat, and
prepared to give emphasis to what she
had to say with an automatic pistol
that nestled snugly in her palm.
