me and execute him, anyway. Have
you no sense Of honor-not even a
mestizo's?"
Stunned by the very audacity OF the
man, who defled him even when know
ing full well what tortures lay in store
for the presumptuous, General Obispo
stared open-mouthed at Upton, listen
ing without offering word in answer.
But when the miner told him he was
double-dealer, and-what was worse
proved ii, he came TO life.
MY word is sacred; not even q
gringo can impugn my honor!" he
yelled. The paradox would have been
funny had it not been so serious.
Obispo arose, his face twitching, his
body positively shaking with anger.
"Here, put a bullet in him some
body" he roared, pointing at Upton
Taking advantage OF the diversion,
Kynaston drew back, shaking off his
guards But in a moment they seized
him by the elbows and threw him
bodily out of the door Upton, his
fingers clenching and unclenching con
vulsively, stood eying the furious half
breed, while Dorothy laid restrain
ing hand upon her fathers arm.
Before he could even respond to the
loving pressure of her fingers a group
of angry men rushed through the open
door and threw her forcibly back
against the wall.
She fell to her knees. Staggering
again to her feet, she was aware. as
one in q dream, of hideous, fury
distorted face thrust within a foot OF
her fathers scornful countenance; OF
dozen dirty, evil-smelling peon sol
diers hanging to Upton as ants hang
to dying hornet.
Then came sharp crack and a spit
Of fame. She saw her father stagger
back, sink, helplessly to his knees. and
sag forward on his face in the center
Of the maddened group.
A bare five seconds she stood there
Then the full meaning Of the scene
enacted under her eyes dawned upon
her.
She was about to scream, but a hand
upon her lips mercifully stified it. A
strong arm drew her back through the
open door, and she heard, still as If in
a dream, voice she had learned to
know and love. Kynaston was speak
ing brokenly:
STEADY, Miss Dorothy! | know!
My heaven, If could only have fore
seen this Come quickly and make no
noise. Use your breath only for run
ming"
"But-Mr. Kynaston-daddy-my ia.
ther-"

Where's Upton?" he demanded true
ulently. Where's Upton?"
Beyond a brief nod he paid no at
tention TO Dorothy. nor even TO Kynas-
ton.
He's d-d-dead." sobbed the girl.
giving way at last. "Oh. Marian. he's
dead! They have killed him! shall
never see him again."
The girl. sobbing as only bereaved
daughter can, flung herself into the
waiting arms of Mrs. Fame.
She drew the half-fainting girl into
a bedroom. and so was not a witness
OF what followed. Had she remained
in the living room, she would have
seen a fierce old gray wolf OF a
plainsman open the front door and
with all the politeness he was master
OF say 10 the two prisoners:
Now. caballeros. IL is your turn
The way lies clear to General Obispo
Take IT,"
He pointed fiercely down the slope
The two men ran hastily for the open
door.
DON'T" said Kynaston hurriedly
laying OBTAINING hand on the old arm
that swung from the rifle barrel ur
in the glinting sunlight. "You can't
do il in cold blood!"
There amt a drop OF cold blood IL
any American who's beeu in Mexico

The magazine gate clicked a car

The rifle spat its mouthful OF lea(
at the leading runner, who crumpleC
and rolled over as q shot rabbit rolls

fame-stumbling over the body. CAV,

into the chamber.
Just as the man rose to his knee,
the bullet caught him squarely In tn,
back of the head, and he collapsed I
second time-to rise no more.
An that's a part of the debt paid,
growled the old man, his very beart
quivering with rage. "The full deb
amt never goin' to be paid off, bu
anyhow there comes the third install
ment!"
Away down the hill. Kynaston, look
ing over the wavering rifle-barrel, saw
a figure come hesitatingly up the hill
He seized Wilkes by the shoulder
preventing the old man from firing.
Don't shoot" he said quietly. Don
shoot. It's the blind priest. Perhap
he brings us news"
