Pedro and his men had gone only a
few miles along the trail when they
came upon Liberty, who quickly gasped
out her story 10 them. In the distance,
even as she talked, they could bear
faint reports.
Topping the last rise which lay be-
tween them and the hollow which
marked the bed Of lost" river, they
saw faint puffs Of smoke coming from
the 'dobe hut in which RutIedge had
taken refuge. On the crest of the OPP

Bob threw open wide the door OF his

A moment later, with bullets flick
