DETROIT, Jan. 22-While more
than a score of men were at work
in the building, the stock department
of the Hudson Motor Car Company
collapsed today and tons of material
fell through to the first floor.
Alarming reports that scores OF en-
ployes had been killed and injured
were telephOned to police headquarters,
and half a dozen police ambulances
were sent TO the plant.
A roll-call Of employees at noon,
however. dSinitely established the
fact that no one had been killed or
seriously injured.
The collapse of the floor was believed
due to overlooking. The section that
fell was about forty feet square. Fac
tory managers estimated the property
damage at $4,000.

He peered out indifferently.
The hoofbeats rang nearer and
nearer, clattered through the sta
BILE yards, and, before they ceased
two or three revolver shots rang
out in rapid succession. Jim had
fired into the air to arouse the
house.
Springing from his reeking
broncho, he ran quickly to the
stable and threw wide the door.
Here the boss, the first to gain
the outside because already
dressed, found him hastily sad
ding a fresh mount. That would
come later. He stepped silently
to Sadie's stall.
In an incredibly short space of
time the rest of the boys came
ieaping out of the ranchhouse,
slamming the door behind them.
Langford took the trail first.
Jim had said but the one word,
"Williston.' 1t was enough. Moth
ing was to be heard but the rapid
though regular pound of hoof-
beats on the level trail.
Langford, riding slightly in ad-
vance, was having a bad time
with himself. His honor-his good
honor, that he helo so high and
stainless-was his word not given
by it that the Willistons might
count on his sure protection
What had he done to merit this
pround boast? Knowing that Jesse
Black was once more at liberty,
fully realizing of what vast i'm
port to the state would be Willis
tons testimony when the rustlers
should be brought to trial, he had
sat stupidity back and done moth

Would Williston have had the
courage without that promise :?

aloud.

that knocked him senseless with

his arms fell lax and he toppled

AS the girls approached the Of
flee the crowd of men around the
doorway drew aside to let them
pass.
At the far end of the room they
found the justice of the peace en-
throned behind a long table. His
Honor, Mr.. James A. McAllister,
more commonly known as Jimmie
Mac, was a ranchman on a small
scale. He was ignorant, but of an
overweening conceit. He had been
justice of the peace for several
years, and labored under the mis-
taken impression that he knew
some law.
Louise's little table was drawn
closely before the window nearest
the court. She owed this
thoughtfulness to Gordon.
The prisoner was brought in.
His was familiar personality.
He was known to most men west
of the river-if not by actual ac-
quaintance, certainly by hearsay.
He was a tall, lean, slouching-
shouldered fellow. He bore HIM
self with an easy, Indifferent
manner, and ehewed tobacco en-
joyingly.
Then came the first great SUR
prise of this affair of many sur
prises. Jesse Black waived exam
ination. 1t came like a thunder
bolt to the prosecution. 1t was
not Blacks way of doing business.
The county attorney had looked
for hard-fought defense-a
shifting of the burden of respon-
sibility for the misbranding to an
other, who would, of course, be
off somewhere on a business trip.
to be absent an indefinite length
of time.
There were lines about the
young attorneys mouth. Jesse
Black was bound over under good
and sufficient bond to appear at
the next regular term of the cir
cult court in December. That
much accomplished, now he could
buckle down for the big fight.
Unconcerned, grinning, Black
slouched to the door and out. The
crowd made way for him uncon-
sciously. No one jostled him. He
was a marked man from that day.
His lawyer, Small, leaned back In
his chair, radlating waves of self
satisfaction, as though he had but
just gained a disputed point.

The little cavalcade swept on
with increased speed, following
the lead of the master. Soon the
sound of shooting was borne to
them distinctly through the quiet
night. 4

Langford, digging in his spurs
once more. They are not sur
prised! Llsten What a plucky
fight! If they can only hold QUIT"
At that moment tiny tongue
of flame leaped up away to the

"Boys!" began Langford. But
he never gave the intended COM

liston and his daughter stepped
out in full view of raider and
rescuer. A man, slouching in his
saddle, rode up into the circle of
lurid light.
Langford raised his rifle
quickly.
The flames were sinking. Will
liston had disappeared. The boys
were scattered in wild pursuit.

The Attack on the Lazy s.

Inc httack on t1e Lazy ..
1t was late. The August night
was cool and sweet after a weary
day of intense heat. Williston
was sitting Just within the door
way. Mary, her hands clasped
idly around her knees, sat on the
doorstep, thoughtfully staring out
into the still darkness.
Bedtime, little girl" said Will
liston.
Just a minute more, daddy.
Must we have a light? Think
how the mosquitoes will swarm.
Let's go to bed in the dark"
I'VE will shut the door and
next summer, little girl, you shall
have your screens. / promise you
that, always providing, of course,
Jesse Black leaves us alone"
Sure, daddy" she answered,
cheerily. And I'll see that you
don't forget. AS for Jesse Black,
he wouldn't dare, with the Three
Bars on his trail. Well If you
must have a light, you must" ris-
ing and rummaging around shelf

Her hand touched the match
box at last. A light flared out.
"Shut the door, quick, dad"
she said, lighting the lamp on the
table. 1.-THE skeeters'll eat US
alive"
Williston stepped to the door.
Just a moment he stood there in
the doorway, outlined against the
brightly lighted room. A sudden
sharp report rang out. The bullet
sang past Williston's head, peril
ously near, and lodged in the OPP
posite wall. At that moment, the
light was blown out.
Good, my dear!" cried Willis
ton. in low tones. Quick as a
flash. the door was slammed shut
and bolted Just as a second shot
fell foul of 1t.
"Oh, my father!" cried Mary,
cropping her way to his side.
Hush, my dear. They missed
me clean. Don't lose your nerve,
Mary. They won't find 1t so easy
after ALL"
There had been no third shot,
A profound silence followed the
second report. Whence, then, the
shots?
II took but a moment for VIII
liston to have the rifles cooked
and ready. Mary took her own
from him with hand that trem-
bled ever SO slightly.
What will you do, father?"
she asked.
Take the back window. girl, ="
he answered. briefly. "I'll take
the front. Stand to the side. Get
used to the starlight and don't
let anything creep mp on you.
They mustn't get near enough to

Several heavy minutes dragged
away without movement, without
sound from without.
