Gwyn rushed from the room and
IL she were dazed. The dawn was
beginning to cast thin, gray light
in the sky, and shone as a mist
through the tops of the trees. Around
the hut, and in the thick stretch of
trees it still was dark. AS Gwyn
threw himself upon a horse, ready
saddled, and prepared to ride out to
the trail. Nan rushed from the ha-
cienda and hounted another. They
did not speak word, but clattered
off toward the trail at top speed.
Meantime, Yaqui Joe, faithful to
his trust, had ridden bravely after
the brigands and, as it TRANSFERRED
into the very jaws of death. When he
mounted his pany and started after
the gang it was easy for him to pick
up and follow their trail. He rode
rapidly for nearly five miles and
then, his practiced eye noting that
the others had stopped their horses,
apparently to hold a conference, he
suddenly dsmounted, tethered his
horse and began cautiously to ad-
vance on foot.
The Indian had gone only a sparse
one hundred yards when suddenly
the huge form OF Shoestring Drant
came hurting from the brush on a
rising at the right hand side Of the
road. He landed squarely on Joe's
shoulders, bearing him to the ground
and knocking his rifle from his hand.

men quickly Joined Drant. Joe
struggled manfully, but in vain. The
odds were too great for him and 1t
was a matter Of only few seconds
for the outlaws to make him a cap
tive.
Then began the torture that
showed the depths of fiendishness
that lay in Cut-Deep Rawls and Shoe
string Drant. Joe was bound fast
to the trunk Of tree, his bonds cut
. ting into his flesh so that he WINGED
from the pain. But he made no out
cry. Rawls demanded that Joe. as
the price OF his liberty, reveal the
location of the mine. The Indian
made no sign. Rawls struck the man
a blow in the face. Again he made
his demand. Again Joe was silent
and Rawls, his anger yelling up like
a torrent, showered blow after blow
on his victim until even the rugged
Yaqui failed under the brutal attack
and he passed into unconsciousness,
mis- body sagging Imply.
Rawls turned away. To Drant he
said:

Fearful of a similar fate, Drant
fled down the trail, intending to re-
turn and finish Joe before Gwyn
could rescue him. AS he approached,

rose from the ground and fired Nan

on the girl. fired at her. But Joe
had anticipated him and he leaped in
front of Nan, taking in his own heart
the bullet that was intended for her.
Drant disappeared in the brush as
Joe fell, dying, to earth. Nan was
quickly bending over the MORALLY
wounded servant and raised his head
to her lap as Gwyn came running up.
They realized that Joe's valiant life
was near its end.
Suddenly the old, wrinkled face of
the faithful Yaqui frightened. His
eyes lighted for an instant. is lips

bent low to hear. He spoke:

They were his last words. His

OF INTEREST TO MERCHANTS.

One of the things that every mer-
chant in his store has to deal with is
dead or slow moving stock, and the
problem to distinguish it from his
quick sellers.
Mr. Bernhardt, a civil engineer in
Mr.. j. P. Williams office, has organ
lied and copyrighted simplified in
voice bookkeeping system, which was
successfully used in his late fathers
hardware business for several years.
By glance at the record number and
code on the stock you can tell when
you bought it, on what bill number
and what you paid for it. Unless a
merchant can make several turnovers
of his stock during the year, he will
not realize much on his wares, and
the sooner he finds this out the better
for his purse.
