ie felt that a superior authority should handle SO delicate situation The governor had agreed and ordered a troop of cavalry to the "Alastcr Key" to preserve order lt was just when Wilkerson had seen his chance for a grand coup that the troopers arrived. Ruth, with some of the women, had taken refuge iu Johns house on the hill with old Tom Kane as their body guard. Wnkerson knew tbat lf he could capture Ruth he could make his own terms. He directed several of his men tO make a detour around the hl and effect this. Meanwhile he set fire Co cabin below in order to distract the attention of Dorr and his men.
 The ruse had nearly succeeded but for Kane's quicSness. Though he had not used bis gun for many years. he had lost none of his old time skin. and when the marauicrs made their final dash on the porch of the house the cook. with single glance over his shoulder shot from the hip Ills man tumbled dead at Ruth's feet. and his companions sneakcd back At that instant the cavalry rushed in and before five minutes were passed their commander had separated the combatauts and proceeded to disarm them
 He then called Dorr and WHkerson to him and curtly stated that bis or. ders were to sec that there was no trouble. What your quarrel is don't knOw.' he said
 NllkerSon tried Co argue. but neither Ihe officer nor the sheriff who now ar. rived, would listen Co him They also turned deaf car to John Dorr's state. ment of Wilkcrsou's crimes. including the kidnapping of Ruth in San Fran cisco.
 If you have anything against WH- kcrson,' the sheriff asserted swear cut n warrant for him I'll serve it quick enough"
 With this John must perforce be sat iStcd. but after conference with Kane it was agreed thot the latter should go to the county seat and make formn complaint and procure war rant for WiIkerson's arrest on the ground Of forgery
 You and ! know those deeds he Hourishes aren't genuine" John said earnestly Let's make it an issue and try it iu court Al amy rate. we'll be rid Of hin for awhile"
 "I kuoW you're right" the old cook assentcd heartily "I'll be off today With these troopers around the grea. CTS won't dare do anything openly But keep your eyes open John. They will sneak something across if they can"
 Trust me for that" was the reas surfing response
 But when Kane had gone Dorr re alized that he was in u nasty predica. meut Wilkersn was despe,utclv play.
