As he walked into the hall and

Spain, not hoping to escape, stood
with folded arms, but under the ell
bow of his left arm was hidden the
long muzzle of his revolver. Holding
his breath, he waited. Gales mind
was apparently filed with other

harshness: "What do you keep harp

Come, come" interposed Druel.
There's no need Of hard words. But
we need two witnesses. Who's going

Before anyone could answer De
Spain stepped out into the open arch
way before the three men. "Ill act
as the second Witness" he said.
With a common roar the Morgans
bounded to their feet. De Spain.
standing slightly sidewise, his coat
lapels tapped wide open. his arms
akimbo. and his hands on his hips,
faced the three in an attitude Of read

instant of indecision which at times,
when coupled with apprehension, par
alyzes the will Of two men acting to-

first shot from the archway, each wait

second unsettled their purpose. In
stead Of bullets, each launched curses
at the intruder, and every second that
passed led away from a fight.
De Spain took their Oaths, demands
and abuse without batting an eye.-
"T'm here for the second Witness"
was all he repeated, covering both
men with short glances. Druel, his
face muddy white as the whisky

shabby clothes. De Spain with each
epithet hurled at him took a dreaded
step toward Gale, and Druel, In the

Gale, game as he undoubtedly was,
cornered, felt perhaps recollections of
Calabasas and close quarters with the
brown eyes and the burning face.
