lis head. The OiOw was sharp and rhe end Of inc hook penetrated his temple. Bill sank 10 the pavement un- conscious.
 Some of the idle iaborers who had been alarmed at the shot, seeing Bill go down, came forward. Bill, bleeding at the temple, lay while Spike, won- dering what had happened, stood by. The sheriff came up.
 There he is," ~aid one of Seagrue's men, pointing {. Spike. There's the man that did the shooting"
 The crowd worked in and the sheT- if, despite Spikes protests, laid his hand on Spikes shoulder and told him that he was under arrest, turning him over to deputy as he did so. with orders to search him. In a moment they found on Spike the revolver he had taken from Bill at the courthouse. The sheriff opened the gun. It con taineI five loaded shells; the sixth had been discharged.
 The crowd. angry at Spike. surged forward. the sheriff holding them back as best he could while he directed his deputy to take the prisoner away.
 Helen and Storm, finishing their lunch, had gone to the courthouse and were busy with the recorder who was trying to find the missing book, when a, clerk coming in told about the fight down street. and of a prisoner. named tI1 --rI rn toEn from the sheriff.
 Storm and Helen, not waiting to pursue their search, left the room to ascertain what the disturbance was about
 By this time the sheriff and his dep- uties had succeeded in getting Spike to the calaboOse where they pushed him inside. But the crowd, now mob, had followed hard on their heels. It was growing larger every moment and the feeling was running higher. In fact. Storm and Helen had hardly reached the street when they were told there was a good prospect of the city jail being raided and Spike be- ing dragged out and hanged to the first pole.
 Seagrue had sent Lug out to look for Bill. whose disappearance dis turbed him. And Lug, finding his part ner lying deserted on the sidewalk. tried hard to bring him around. He stopped a man running past and with his help propped Bill up.
 Helen and Storm, reaching the edge Of the crowd in front of the jail, saw and heard enough to make them real ize the seriousness of the situation. They looked at each other
 What do you think?" asked Helen of her companion anxiously.
 Storm shock his head. We've got to get help. Helen, and get it quick"
 ''The only place it can come from is the camp, then,' responded Helen with decision And we must go after it, George"
 They hastened to the station and told the story to the agent. Storm wrote a message, directing a boy to rush upstairs with it and get it off.
 When Rhinelander opened the tele- gram few moments later. he read;
 SPIKE WORKING IN OUR BE- HALF IN TROUBLE WITH SEA- GRUE's GANG. THEY ARE STORM ING JAIL To LYNCH HIM. ON EN- CINE. HAVE HELP READY AS SOON AS WE ARRIVE-sToRm.
 Rhinelander, without loss of time. assembled his men, told them of the trouble at Las Vegas and asked if they were willing to help rescue Spike. They answered with an affirmative yell and he ordered them to climb aboard a fiat car.
 In front of the jail man was ha- ranguing the crowd and urging them to get the murderer. And his listeners were already in humor to rush the place. Within. the sheriff and his men were anxiously watching develop ments.
 The sheriff ordered a deputy to slip quietly out the back way and get hold of a car. The moment the machine appeared the sheriff smuggled Spike out, meaning to take him to the coun- ty jail for safe keeping. Unfortunately. an alert riOter saw the move. He gave the alarm.
 Before Spikes captors could get him away the crowd headed the ma chine off. It was then a case of any port in a storm and the officer with his little party took refuge in tho city council chambers, handcuffing Spike to the fiCor in order to have everyone | free to hold the rioters at bay.
 Helen and Storm had boarded switch engine in the yards and run it down to camp where the Hat car filled with men was coupled to it and with Rhinelander in charge. headed again | for Las Vegas.
 The sheriff in the council chamber found himself surrounded. He went to the door and addressed the mob. He told them he would defend the prisoner with his life The officer went inside, fastening the door behind him, and his men made a barricade of desks to protect themselves from oc- casional bullets that now whistled ha hfer xt-frINu-c prav;,-
