through a curtained opening at the
end of the hall into the dining room.

opened through an arch into the liv-
ing room, and where he stood he
could hear all that was said.
Who's there?" demanded Duke

Nobody" said Gale. Go on,
Druel."
Druel talked softy and through
his nose: II was only going to say it
would be a good idea to have two
witnesses"
"Nita," suggested Gale.
Duke was profane. You couldn't
keep the girl in the room if she had

me, fair and square, that Mans 60

this marriage till I'm satisfied she's $
willing to go to you-otherwise II
can't take place, now or never"
De Spain opened his ears. Gale
felt the hard, cold tone of his crusty
relatives, and answered with like
harshness: What do you keep harp
ing on that for? You've got my word
All l want of you is to keep yours
understanN"
Come, come" interposed Druel
There's no need of hard words. But
we need two witnesses. Who's going
to be the other witness?"
Before anyone could answer De
Spain stepped out into the open arch
way before the three men. "I'll act
as the second Witness he said.
With a common roar the Morgans
| bounded to their feet. De Spain
standing slightly sidewise, his coat
lapels tapped wide open, his arms
akimbo, and his hands on his hips
faced the three in an attitude ot
readiness only. He had reckoned or
the instant of indecision which al
! times, when coupled with apprehen-
sion, paralyzes the will of two men
acting together. Under the circum-
stances either of the Morgans alone
would have whipped a gun on De
Spain at sight. Together, and know
ing that to do so meant death to the
one that took the first shot from the
archway, each waited for the other;
that fraction of a second unsettled
each launched curses at the intruder
and every second that passed led
away from a fight.
De Spain took their oaths, de-
mands and abuse without batting an
eye. I'm here for the second wit
ness" was all he repeated, covering
both men with short glances. Druel
his face muddy white as the
whisky bloat deserted it, shrunk in
side his shabby clothes. De Spain
with each epithet hurled at him took
a dreaded step toward Gale, and
DrueI, in the line of fire, brought his
knees up and his head down till he
curIed like a porcupine.
Gale, game as he undoubtedly was
! cornered, felt perhaps recollections
of Calabasas and close quarters with
the brown eyes and the burning face
What they might mean in this little
room, which De Spain was crossing
step by step. was food for thought
! Nor did De Spain break his obstinate
silence until their burst of rage had

Duke, towering with rage, looked

door. You hear that! Get out oi

vicious epithet with the words.
