ar's stubborn spirit was worn down.
Once again he put his question, and
again receiving defiance, damned the
canteen between Jose's teeth.
But human nature is weak. For the
first time in his life Jose Sanchez felt
terror-a terror too awful to be en-
dured-and he made the sign.
He was no longer the insolent defer,
the challenger, but an implorlng
wretch, whose last powers of resist

His frightened eyes were glued to that
devilish vessel in which his MANHOOD
had dissolved, the fear Of it made
woman of him.
Slowly, in signs and whimpers, In
agonies of reluctance, his story came;
his words were rendered almost incom-
prehensible by his abysmal fright.
When he had purged himself OF his
secret Dave promptly unbound him;
then leaving him more than half dead,
he went to the telephone which con-
nected the pumping station with Las
Palmas and called up the ranch.
He was surprised when Blaze Jones
answered. Blaze, it seemed, had just
arrived, summoned by news of the
tragedy. The countryside had been
alarmed and search for Ed Austlns
slayer was being organized.

Inside of ten minutes Jones piloted
his automobile into the clearing beside
the river, and, leaving his motor run

Dave met him at the door of the
Morales house and briefly told him the
story of Jose's capture.
"Say! That's quick work." the
rancher cried, admiringly. "Why, Ed
