The old Cook Offered to Fight Him on
 Any Terms.
 was wholly drunk. and on the porch talking to Wilkerson were a couple of Mexicans
 Tt looks as if they meant to rush the camp. Dorr said thoughtfully. He proceeded to arm himself. and Everett quietly followed suit
 I'm going to talk to the boys first" said Dorr He left the bungalow and strode off down the hill. followed by the cook gun was fired mp by the mine tunnel mouth.
 That's a signal that the Mexicans are making trouble! Kane shouted. Look out for dynamite in the shaft, Johnw
 Without a word further Dorr leaped down from the porch of the cook shan ty and started mp the hill, followed by dozen faithful supporters Other shots were fired. Wilkerson appeared at the tunnel mouth and then vanished inside. John sprang upon the trestle and rushed after him. Instantly a band of Mexicans mate rialized halfway down the hill fired a few shots and rctreated John paid no attention to them, but kept on.
 Once within the tunnel he saw a faint gleam of light ahead of him. He understood that Kane was right. Will ] kerson was playing a desperate game 1 in blowing up the shaft and then in the ensuing confusion allowing the bandits to loot undisturbed.
 A few yards farther on John stopped. ! A dark figure rushed by him toward | the open air. But the little glow of | light remained. For a moment Dorr | hesItated then he leaped forward and began trying to extinguish lighted | fuse.
 | He had almost succeeded when ] bullet whizzed by him; then a second spattered on the rock overhead. He | turned and fired blindly in the direc- | ton of the shots and resumed his task. l The fuse was short, but he succeeded l in extinguishing it and started back. | He met fusillade of bullets. He dashed on toward the mouth of the tunnel and suddenly emerged on Will kerson. who. not being able to see into ! the murk of the shaft was firing blind ly into the opening.
 With a shout John leaped for the mau whom he now knew to be seeking his life. Before Wilkeison could fire another shot he was caught in ! mighty embrace and then began short sharp struggle high in the air.
 John Dorr for the first time in his fife knew the absolute and terrific lh.rst for killing that sometimes comes to man lt was either his life or | Wilkerson's. And no one should in- terfere with his revenge, He threw himself on the man with but ono ob- ject iu yiew-to slny him bare handed.
 WIlkerson fought tigerishly. and for the moment had the advantage. The lofty trestle was am ill place for a heavy man like porr to fight on. and the others agility and 1.-the quickness seemed about to win when John by a sudden unexpected and desperate ma neuver caught him and threw him clear into the air. breaking his clutch with a terrific blow. Then he ierked him to the edge of the trestle and flung him over
 Standing erect, John drew the air into his tortured lungs and let out a tremendous yell of triumph.
 Ruth Gallon heard that barbaric yell and shuddered. Tom Kane stared up- ward at the figure on the trestle, and his open mouth seemed lipiess, for he. too. shared in the moments blood lust
 And on the rocks below Wilkerson's 8 figure sprawled grotesquely, its white and darkIing face turned sightIessly to the sky.
