Yet they would eventually have made
the camp untenable had not the
thoughtful sheriff prepared a surprise
for both parties.
After consultation with his advisers
in the county seat he had appealed to
the governor on the ground that as one
Of the opposing forces was Mexican
he felt that a superior authority should
handle so delicate a situation. The
governor had agreed and ordered d
troop Of cavalry to the Master Key
to preserve order. It was just when
Wilkerson had seer his chance for d
grand coup that the troopers arrived.
Ruth, with some Of the women, had
taken refuge in Johns house on the
hill, with old Tom Kane as their body
guard. Wilkerson knew that If he
could capture Ruth. he could make his
own terms. He directed several of his
men to make a detour around the hill
and effect this. Meanwhile he set fire
to a cabin below In order to distract
the attention of Dorr and his men.
The ruse had nearly succeeded but
for Kane's quickness. Though he had
not used his gun for many years, he
had lost none Of his old time skill, and
when the marauders made their final
dash on the porch Of the house the
cook, with a single glance over his
shoulder, shot from the hip. His man
tumbled dead at Ruth's feet, and his
companions sneaked back.
At that instant the cavalry rushed
in, and before five minutes were passed
their commander had separated the
combatants and proceeded to disarm
them. VI
He then called Dorr and Wilkerson
to him and curtly stated that his or.
ders were to see that there was no
trouble. What your quarrel is l don't
know" he said.
hWilkerson tried to argue, but neither
the officer nor the sheriff, who now ar.
rived. would listen to him. They also

Yet when Wilkerson appeared at the
entrance to the camp one morning

Wilkerson was apparently peaceful

The Mexican peered into the win
