alone of the four detected the face that
showed for one brief instant well back
in the shadows beyond one of the bed

momentarily with the pallor of a
ghosts against the background of that
obscurity, 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 = bleareyed 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 he 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 a human target.
Closed and locked doors confronted
them; and their summons educe6 10

broken in by whole-souled kick. dis
covered nothing more satisfactory
than an empty room, its bed bearing
the imprint of woman's body, but

From the one window, looking down
the side of the house, Texas announced
that the woman had not escaped by

So It seemed that the three must

for the assault that must soon come

But it met with more stubbc n re-
distance than had been anticipated.
The door had been barricaded from
within - REINFORCED by furniture

the united efforts of four men Cnclud-
ing the bleary loafer OF the barroom)
were required to overcome its inert re-
sistance. But even when IL was down,
the room was found 20 be as empty as
the first.
Only the fingers of two haDds grip
ping the edge of the versada 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 chorus of bias
phemy in the hotel hallway: for Jul

for the staircase ard coptrived to
block it for a full half minute by pre-
tending to stumble and twist her
ankle.
In spite of that alleged injury. she
never limped, and wasn't yard be-
hind the trst who broke from the
hotel to the open, nor yet appreeiably
behind him in vaulting to saddle.
Well up the road a cloud of smoky
dust half obecured the shapes OF three
who rode for their very lives.
The pursuit was off In twinkIing
and well bunched-Marrophat mount
leading by a 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 he

revolver from its holster. The weapon
swept up and to level; but as the
hammer fell, Judith's horse caronned
heavily against the other, swinging IL
half a dozen feet aside. and DETECTING
the bullet hopelessly.
The shock Of collision was so great
that Marrophat kept his seat with dif.
ficulty. He turned toward Judith a
face livid with rage.
simultaneously, as II taking the shot
as the signal for 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.

recent i'll temper and set himself diplo-
matically to adjust The differences be-
tween his daughter, Judith, and his
| first lieutenant, Marrophat.
1t was no facile task: Marrophat
could not be trusted to work with a
single mind because of his infatuation
for Judith; Judith could no more be
trusted faithfully to serve out her VOW
| to bring Alan Law to her fathers feet,
alive or dead because-O cruel irony
Of Fate!-she herself had fallen in
love with that same man whose death
she had pledged herself to compass.
! Only when, as now, half mad with
/ jealousy, determined to see Alan dead
rather than yield him to the woman
he loved, her sister, might Judith be
| counted upon to serve her father in
his lust for vengeance as lie would be
| served-and even so not without Mar
rophat at her elbow to egg her on
| through her resentment of his surveil-
! lance. Neither could be trusted, in
deed, to work alone to the desired con-
summation; for Urine had secret rea-
son to fear lest Marrophat might,
given opportunity, connive at Alan's
escape in order that he might marry
Rose and so throw Judith back into
his, Marrophat's, arms.
Poor, deluded fool!
Such was the prive'e comment Of
Marrophat's master.
For all that, it was the man and not
his daughter, whom Urine designated
to lead the expedition, cunningly
counting on Judiths chaorin to work
upon her passions and excite her to
one last, mad, blind attempt that
should prove successful.
Smiling his secret smile, Trine an
nounced his decision at the last mo-
ment, while Hopi Jim waited with his
horses and an assistant-one Texas
for whose utter innocence of scruples
Mr.. Slade unhesitatingly vouched.
Sullenly submissive, at least in out
ward seeming, Judith bowed to this de-
cision, marched out of the car. and
suffered Marrophat to help her mount
her horse.
Now, deliberately, as the little caval-
cade rode through the moonlit desert
night, the girl Unanswered her horse
TO the side Of Hopi Jim, and then
dropped back, permitting Marrophat
to lead the way with Texas.
As deliberately she set herself to
work upon the bandits susceptibility
to her charms.
Within an hour she had him ready
to do anything 10 win her smile.
In that frat rush OF golden day a.
thwart the land, the party came quietly
into the town Of Mesa, riding slowly In
order that the noise OF their approach
might not warn the fugitives, who
Hopi asserted confidently would still
be sound asleep in the accommoda-
lions offered by the towns one hotel.

SYNOPSIS

The trey OF hearts is the "death-sign"
employed by Seneca Urine in the pri-
Nate war OF vengeance which, through the
1sency OF his daughter, Judith, a woman
OF violent passions like his own, he wages
against Alan Law, son OF the man, now
1ead, who was innoeently responsible for
me accident which rendered Urine help
less cripple. Alan loves Rose, Judith s
Twin and double. but in all other respects
ner precise opposite. Judith promises her
1atler to compass Alan's death. but un-
aer dramatic circumstances he saves her
