CHAPTER xviii.
The Snake In the Image.

"IT 1HEY mean business this
time" Drake growled as
IEsSssSNI they did their best to bar
- ricade the single door and
window. Il believe those hills are full
of them"
And our own bullies aren't up fight
ing with good grace, either" Wilker-
son confessed. '"rhese half whites
have no sand"
ITS an odd thing" Drake said when
the afternoon had passed without an
assault. that We hear firing. but none
of it is directed at us"
That's so," Wikerson responded
tboughtfully. II wonder who it can
be?'
He was soon TO know. for after night
fall John Dorr and his single attendant
rode furiously up to the hut and tried
for admittance.
A few scattering shots told that they
had been discerned in their flight.
For the moment Wilkerson did not
recognize his old enemy. disguised as
he was in native costume, but when
he was sure he reluctantly opened the
door and admitted him.
John flung himself inside and jam
med the door to just as a second hail
of bullets ratified on its surface. Then
he stared at the man opposite him.
"Wilkerson" he gasped.
"Yes. it's me-" was the snarling re-
spouse. "What are you doing here?"
Some hillmen took us for enemies
and chased US pretty much all day
long" DOrr explained. I'VE saw this
hut. and when 1t was dark enough to
conceal our movements we made for
it
And now you can make for some
other place." Wilkerson said, handling
his revolver meanlngly.
John laughed.
81 feel myself that the place is too
small for both OF us. But it's white
man against native now. If they get
me they'll get you. Our only hope is
to stick together now"
"I'll see you dead frstr' snarled the
other.
But Drake spoke up and silenced
him.
while you two are fighting for the
benefit Of the servants those hillmen
are preparing to assault the hut"
A long look through a crack showed
the hiilInen closing up about them, and
Wilkerson gave in with bad grace.
He was glad Of the help, however.
