lodged under the rail to close. De
Spain, struggling to free himself from
the dying man, saw, through a mist,
the greenish eyes and the thirsty knife
He fired from the floor. The bullet
shook without stopping his enemy, and
De Spain, partly caught under San
dusky's body, thought, as Sassoon came
on, the game was up. With an effort
born Of desperation, he dragged him
self from under the twitching giant,
freed his revolver, rolled away, and.
with his sight swimming, swung the
gun ut SassoOn's stomach. He meant
to Kill him. The bullet whirled the
white-faced man to one side and he
dropped, but pulled himself, full of
fight, to his knees and, knife in hand,
painted forward. De Spain, rolling has
tily from him, staggered to his feet,
and, running in as Sassoon tried to
strike, beat him senseless with the
butt of his gun.
His own eyes were streaming blood.
His head was Keeling and he was
breathless, but he remembered those
of the gang waiting outside. He still
could see dimly the window at the
end of the bar. Dashing his fingers
through the red stream on his fore
head, he ran for the window, smashed
through the sash into the patio and
found Sassoon's horse trembling at the
fusillade. Catching the lines and the
pOmmel, he stuck his foot up again
and again for the stirrup. 1t was use
less; he could not make it. Then
summOning all of his fast-ebbing
strength, he threw himself like sack
across the horses back, dashed the
brute through the open gateway
climbed into the saddle, and spurred
blindly away.

Shoulder.
ing his senses tricked him, he felt
again and again for it before he would
believe 1t was not buckled somewhere
about him. But 1t was gone, and he
stuck back in his walstband his useless
revolver. One hope remaiped-fight,
and he spurred his horse cruelty.
Blood running continually into his
eyes from the wound In his head made
him think his eyes were gone, and d.
rection was a thing quite beyond his
power of compass. He made little eff
fort to guide, and his Infatuated horse
flew along as If winged.
A warm, sticky feeling in his right
boot warned him, when he tried to
make some mental inventory Of his
condition, Of at least one other wound.
He could not see twenty feet ahead or
behind. Even when he hurriedly wiped
the cloud from his eyes his vision
seemed to have failed, and he could
only cling to his horse to put the miles
as fast as possible between himself

A perceptible weakness presently
forced him to realize he must look to
his wounded foot. Before he slackened
speed he tried to look behind to recon.

sight to be trifie better. and in scan.
ming the horizon he could discover nc
pursuers. Choosing a secluded spot
he dismounted, cut open his boot, and
found that q bullet, passing down
ward, had torn an artery under the
arch of the foot. Making a rude tour

well the squirting flow that was sap

CHAPTER Ix-contInued.

Still regarding De Spain with the
most buslnesslike expression, the griz-
zied outlaw took guarded step for
ward. his companions following suit.
DE Spain, always with jealous regard
tor the relative distance between him
and his seIf-appOinted executloners,
moved backward. In crossing the room,
9andusky, without objection from his
companions, moved across their front,
and when the four lined up at the bar,
their positions had changed. De Spain
stood at the extreme left, S0ndusky
next, Logan beside him, and Gale Nor
gan, at the other end of the line, pre-
tended to pound the bar for service.
De Spain, following mountain etiquette
Co the circumstances, spread hlG open
bands, palms down, on the bar. San
dusky's great palms slid in the same
fashion over the checked slab in I'M
spoken recognition Of the brief armis-
tice. LOgan's hands came up In turn,
aud Morgan still pounded for someone
20 serve.
DE Spain in the new disposition
weighed his chances as being both bet
Ter and worse. They had put Sandus-
kys first shot at no more than an
arms length from his prey, with LO-
gan next, to cover the possibility of
che big fellows failing to paralyze De
Spain the first instant. On the other
hand, De Spain, trained in the tactics
of Whispering Smith and Medicine
Bend gunner, welcomed a shOrt-arm
struggle with the worst of his aSsail-
ants closest at hand. Their maneuver-
sug caused no disqulet to their slen-
der, Compactly built victim. you'll
wait a long time, if you wait for serv-
Zee here, Morgan" he said, comment
ing with cOmposure on MOrgan's i'm
patience. Logan looked again at his
two companions and laughed.
Every hope De Spain had of possible
help from the back room died with
that laugh. Then the door behind the
bar slowly opened, and the scar-fea-
tured face Of Sassoon peered cautious
'Iy from the gloom. The hOrsethief,
STOPPING, walked In with leer directed
ytriumphantly mt the railroad man.
If it were possible to deepen it, the
sinister spot on De SPANS face dark
encd. Something in his blood ragged
at the sight of the malevolent face. He
glanced ut Logan. This" he smiled
faIntly, nodding toward SassOOn as he

the left, "is your drink, Harvey, is it,"

CHAPTER x.
After the Storm.

For week the search continued day
and night, but each day, even each
succeeding hour, reduced the expec-
tation of ever seeing De Spain alive.
Spies working at Calabasas, others
sent in by Jeffries to Music noun
tain among the MOrgans, and men
from Medicine Bend haunting Sleepy
Cat could get no word of De Spain.
Deaf Sandusky and Logan had been
found dead at the Inn by Lefever on
the night after the fight. Fairly accu-
rate reports accounted for Gale Nor
gan, nursing a wound at home, and
for SassoOn, badly wounded and under
cover somewhere in the gap. Beyond
this, information halted.
Toward the end of the week a Next
can sheepherder brought word in to
Lefever that he had seen in Duke
Morgan's stable Sassoon's horse-the
one on which De Spain had escaped.
He averred he had seen the blood
stained Santa Fe saddle that had been
taken off the horse when the horse was
found at daybreak of the day follow
ing the fight, waiting at Sassoon's cor
raj to be cared for. There could be,
it was fairly well ascertained, no mis-
take about the horse-the man knew
the animal; but his information threw
no light on the fate of its missing
rider.

Tense, the Indian was the last to aban.
don hope of seeing him alive again
One night, in the midst of a gloomy
council at Jeffries' Office, he was
pressed for an explanation Of his con.
fidence. 1t was always difficult fol
Scott to explain his reasons for think
ing anything. Men with the surest In
stinct are usually poorest at reason
ing a conviction out. But Bob, cross
examined and harrled, managed to give
some explanation Of the falth that wal
in him. 'In the first place." he said
''Ive ridden good deal with tina

Scott unmoved.
De Spain, when he climbed into Sas-
sOon's saddle, was losing sight and
consciousness. He knew he could no
longer defend himself, and was so
faint that only the determination of
putting distance between him and any
pursuers held him to the horse after
he spurred away. With the instinct of
the hunted, he fumbled with his right
hand for his means of defense, and
was relieved to find his revolver, after
his panicky dash for safety, safe in its
place. He put his hand to his belt for
fresh cartridges. The belt was gone.
The discovery sent q shock through
his failing faculties. He could not
recollect why he had no belt. Believ.
