Of bullets coming. not from the com
missary, but from the saloon shack
on the opposite bank-a whistling
shower Of lead that made every man
IN the sheriff's party duck to cover.
How the volunteer process-server
ever lived to get across the bridge of
death no man might know. Thrice In
the half-minute dash he was hit; yet
there was life enough left to carry him
stumbling across the last of the stag
ing bentS; to send him reeing up the
runway at the end and across the
working yard to the door of the COM
missary, waving the folded papers like
an inadequate flag of truce as he fell
on the doorstep.
After that all things were curiously
haZy ana underlined for him. There
was the tumult of fierce battle be-
ing wRged over him; Il deafening rifle
fire and the spat-Spat of bullets pune
turing the Sheet-irOn walls OF the com
miSsary. In the Mast of It he lost
his hold upon the realities, and when
he got it again the warlike clamor was
Stilled and Starbuck was kneeling be-
side him, trying, apparently, to deprive
him of his clothes with the reckless
slashings of knife.
Protesting feebly and trying to rise,
he saw the working yard filed with
armed men and the returning throng
of laborers saw Colonel Baldwin and
Williams talking excikedly to the sher-
iff; then he caught tne eye of the engi-
neer and beckoned eagerly with his

dead you are!" gritted the rough-and-
ready surgeon who was plying the
clothes-ripping knife. But when Will

Smith found voice, shrill and strident
and so little like his own that he
scarcely recognized It,

Williams gently. "Dopt YOU hear it?"

Starbuck-"what is it that I'd stand
some chance of finding, Billy? Il
can't seem to remember"
Williams turned his face away and
Starbuck frightened his benumbing grip
upon the severed artery in the barred
arm from which he had cut the sleeve.
Smith seemed to be going off again,
but he suddenly opened his eyes and
pointed frantically with a finger of the
one serviceable hand. Catch him!

Clinging to consciousness with
grip that not even the blood loss
could break, Smith saw Williams
spring to his feet and give the alarm;
saw three or four of the sheriff's men
