Back IN the camp, q spirit OF devilry
had entered into Long lin and mis-
mates A tactless remaly on the part
OF one OF the deputies had set alight
the smoldering fire Of resentment
which the cowboys had all the time
felt against them. At q word from
Long Jim they were taken by surprise
and tied to the wagon
The deputies spiuttered with rage
and fear. Shot rained about them and
the canvas OF the wagon was riddled.
Suddenly they all paused TO listen
The sound OF . horses slow football
was heard close at hand Presently
Quest appeared out OF the shadows,
carrying Lenora in his arms. Laura
rushed forward.
Lenora." she cried rs she hurt?"
Quest laid her tenderly upon the
ground.
We had a spill at the bridge" he
explained. quickly. Il don't know
whether Craig loosened the supports.
He got over all right. but II went down
under Lenora. who was following, and
had to get her out OF the river.
Where's the professor"
The professor came ambling from
the tent where he had been lying. He
stopped At once over Lenora's still un-
conscious form.
Dear me-" he exclaimed. Dear
me. Come. GOMEZ"
He passed his hand over her side
and made brief examination
-Four ribs broken" he pronounced.
1t Will be week, at any rate, before
We are able to move her. Nothing
more serious, SO far as can see. Mr..
Quest. but she'll need rest and all the
comfort we can give her"
Say. that's too bad" Long Jim de-
clared. If you've got to stay around
Tor time, though, you can have the
tents. We boys can double up any
where. or bunk on the ground. That's
right. amt it?" he added, turning
around to the cowboys.
There was a little grunt of acquies-
,ence. They carried Lenora to the
argest Of the tents and made her as
comfortable as possible.
