riders hat whirled from his head and
he pitched sideways out of the saddle
as If struck by lightning.
A moment later thefeport of the shot
reached Marie. She glanced over her
shoulder and saw Hardy outstretched
on the ground, faced and inert.
With a suddenness that almost threw
her pony off his nimble feet, she
wrenched him around. The mare had
stopped within two strides, and twist
ed her head about to look at her fallen
master. The manner in which he had
fallen showed that the shot had come
from up the coulee. Flinglng herself
from her pony, she plucked Hardy's
rifle out of its sheath and leveled 1t
across the saddle. But she could see
no sign Of the assassin, and no Sec
ond bullet came whirring across the
coulee. Without second look up the
coulee. she bent over to rip the hem
from her underskirt. This gave her a
bandage. Her own and Hardy's hand
kerchiefs served for compress. Swift
ly she bound them on the long wound
above his temple and stopped the
bleeding.
When at last he opened his eyes, his
head was in her lap. He gazed up into
her down-bent face, his mird still In
a daze. A frown Of pain creased his
forehead. He murmured, In the queru-
lous tone of a sick child: Mother

Instinctively her soft hand began to
smooth away the frown with a gentle,
caressing touch. His eyes closed in
restful contentment. The girl con-
tinued to stroke his forehead. Sud-
denly his eyelids lifted, and he looked
up with the clear, bright gaze Of full
consciousness. He saw the womanly
compassion in her beautiful face. Her
eyes were tender and lustrous with
sympathy for his suffering.
"Marie!" he murmured. ut is you

shot? In the headT He lay still,
considering this. Her look had not
altered under his gaze. From her utter
lack Of self-consciousness he OWNED
that she thought him dangerously If
not fatally wounded. After pause, he
began to speak with the calmness that
sometimes masks the most profound
feeling:
