CHAPTER XIV.
AmbUShed,

Colby Macdonald, in miners boots
and corduroy working suit, stood be-
side his horse with one arm thrown
about to start for Seven Mile Creek
camp with S2,70O in the saddlebags to
pay the men there.
Diane was talking with him. 'She's
young and fine and spirited. OF course
it was great shock to her. She had

ter. At any rate, she does not hate
you any more. Give the girl time"
you think she wilI-be reasonable?"
81 don't know. But I'm sure of one
thing. She'll not be reasonable, as you
call it, unless you are reasonable"
'YOu mean-ElliOt?

you know that when the Indian woman
came he urged Sheba not to listen 10

sneered the mine owner.
"He didn't. Gordon is a splendid fell

ane holly. sand one thing is sure-if
you lay finger on him for this, it will
be fatal with Sheba. She will be
through with YOU
Macdonald had thought of this be-
fore. 1t had been coming to him from
several different angles that he could
not afford to crafty his desire to wipe
this meddlesome young official from
his path. He made q slow, sulky
promise.
"All right. I'll let him alone. Peter
can tell him."
Swinging to the saddle, he spurred
his horse and cantered away. His
mind was full of the problem that had
come into his life. He rode abstract
edly, so that he was at the lower ford
of the creek almost before he knew it
A bilberry thicket struggled down tt
the opposite bank Of the stream or
| both sides of the road.
The horse splashed through the fort
and took the little rise beyond with {
rush. Just before reaching the brow
of the hill, the animal stumbled anC
fell. AS its rider went headlong, hi
caught a glimpse of a cord drawn tau
across the path.
Macdonald, shaken by the fall, begaI
slowly to rise. From the shadows o.
the bilberry bushes two STOPPING fig
ures rushed at him. He threw up al
arm to ward off the club aimed at hi
head, but succeeded only in breaking
the force Of the blow. AS he staggere'
back stunned. a bullet glancad alnn'

sideStepped and retreated. More than
once their heavy blows crashed on
his face. His eyes dared not wander
from them for an instant, but he was
working toward a definite plan. AS he
moved his feet were searching for the
automatic he had dropped.
One Of his feet, dragging over the
ground, came into contact with the
steel. With a swift side kick Gordon
flung the weapon a dozen feet to the
left. Presently, watching his chance,
he made dive for it.
Trelawney, followed by NOrthrup,
turned and ran. One of them caught
MacdOnald's horse by the bride. He
swung to the saddle and the other man
clambered on behind. There was a
clatter of hOOfs and they were gone.
Elliot stopped over the battered body
that lay huddled at the edge of the
water. So badly had the face been
beaten and hammered that il was not
until he had washed the blood from
the wounds that Gordon recognized
Macdonald.
Opening the coat of the insensible
man, Gordon put his hand against the
heart. He could not be sure whether
he felt it beating or whether the thrOb
bing came from the pulses in his finger
tips. AS well as he could he bound up
the wounds with handkerchiefs and
stanched the bleeding. With ice-cOld
water from the stream he drenched
the bruised face. A faint sigh quiv-
cred through the slack, inert body.
Gordon hoisted Macdonald across
the saddle and led the horse through
the ford. He walked beside the animal
to town, and never had two miles
seemed to him so far. With one hand
he steadied the helpless body that lay
like a sack of -four balanced in the
trough Of the saddle.
Kusiak at last lay below him, and
when he descended the hill to the sub
urbs almost the first house was the one
where the Pagets lived.
Elliot threw the body across his
shoulder and walked up the walk to
the porch. He kicked upon the door
with his foot. Sheba answered the
! knock, and at sight of what, he car

Macdonald has been hurt-badly,"
he explained quickly.
''This way" the girl cried, and led
him to her own room.
sect Diane-and a DOCTOR" ordered
Gordon after he had laid the uncon.
scious man on the white sheet.
While he and Diane undressed the
mine owner Sheba got a doctor on the
telephone. The wounded man opened
his eyes after long time, but there
was in them the glaze of delirium. He
recognized none Of them. All night
he raved, and his delirious talk went
back to the wild scenes of his earlier
life. Sometimes he swore savagely
again he made quiet, deadly threats
but always his talk was crisn and

CHAPTER XIV.
"God Save You Kindly"


A nurse from the hospital had re-
lieved Diane and Sheba at Gaybreak.
They slept until the middle of the aft
ernOOn, then under orders from the
doctor walked out to take the air. The
fever of the patient was subsiding. He
slept a good deal, and III the intervals
between had been once or twice quite
rational.
The thoughts of the cousins drew
their steps toward the Jail. Sheba
looked at Diane.
evil they let US pass, do you
think?"
Perhaps. We can try"
Gopher Jones was not proof against
the brisk confidence with which Mrs.
Paget demanded admittance.
The prisoner was sitting on the bed.
His heart jumped with gladness when
he looked up.
Diane shook hands cheorfully. How
is the crimlnal?"
Better for hearing your kind voice, "
he answered.
His eyes strayed to the ebon-haired
girl in the background. They met a
troubled smile, grave and sweet.

ane explained. 'But he must have

footprints at the ford, showing how
they moved over the ground as they
fought. So he could not have been
unconscious from the first blow"
"UnlesS they were masked he must
have known them. It was light
enough" agreed Elliot.
'Peter is still trying to get the Off
GERS to accept bail, but 1 don't think
he will succeed. There is a good deal
of feeling in town against you"

When Sheba babe the prisoner good
by it was with a phrase of the old
Irish vernacular. God save you
kindly"
He knew the PEASANTS answer to the
wish and gave it. "And you, too"
The girl left the prison with a mist
in her eyes. Her cousin looked at her
with O queer, irOnic little smile of af-
lection. To be in trouble was a sure
passport to the sympathy of Sheba.
Now both her lovers were in sad
way. Diane wondered which of them
would gain most from this new twist
Of fate.
Selfridge had been shocked at the
sight of Macdonald. The terrible beat

not making any peace overtures."
You're as obstinate as the devil"
smiled Peter, but in his heart he adj
mired the dourness of his friend.
The engineer went 80 Macdonald and
gave a deleted version Of his talk with
Elliot. The Scotsman listened, a bit
ter, incredulouS smile on his face.
"SayS he didn't bring her, does he?
Tell him from me that he lies. Your
wife let out to me by accident that he
threatened to bring her. Meteetse and
he came up on the boat together. He
was with her at your house when she
told her story. He's trying to save his
hide. No chance"
"Elliot fSn't liar. When he says he
didn't bring the woman, that satisfies
NE. 1 know he didn't do it," insisted
Paget Stiffiy.
Different here. Who else had any
interest in bringing her except him?
Nobody. Use your brains, Peter. He
takes the first boat down the river. He
comes back on the next one. She
comes back, too. They couldn't figure
I'd be at your house when they
showed up there to tell the story.
That's where Mr.. Elliot slipped up
Peter was Of different stuff from
Selfrldge. He had something to say.
So he said it.
''Times have changed, Mac. You
can't shoot down this fellow withsut
making all kinds of trouble. First
thing, we'd lose our claims. The ad-
ministration would drop you like q hot
potato If you did a thing like that.
Sheba would never speak to you again.
Your friends would know in their
hearts it was murder. You can't do it,
Macdonald's jaw clamped. "Then
let him get out. That's my last word
to him."
The Adair County news., 1918-02-06

his forehead and ridged a furrow
through the thick hair. A second
stroke of the club Jared him to the
heels.
Though his mind was not clear, his
body answered automatically the in
stinct that told him to close with his
assailants. He lurched forward and
gripped one, wrestling with him for
the revolver. Vaguely he knew by the
sharp, jagged shoots of pain that the
second man was beating his head with
a club. The warm blood dripped
through his hair and blinded his eyes.
Dazed and shaken, he yet managed to
get the revolver from the man who had
it. But it was his last effort. He was
too far gone to use it. A blow on the
forehead brought him unconscious to
the ground bleeding from a dozen
wounds.
On his way back to Seven Mile Greek
camp Gordon Elliot rode down tO'the
ford. In the dusk he was almost upon
them before the robbers heard him.
For a moment the two men stood gaz-
ing at him and he at the tragedy be-
fore him. One Of the men moved
toward his horse.
"Stop there !" ordered Gordon sharp
ly, and reached for his revolver.
The man-it was the miner North.
rup-jumped for Elliot and the field
agent fired. Another moment and he
was being dragged from the saddle.
What happened next was never clear
to him. He knew that both of the
bandits closed in on him and that he
was fighting desperately against odds,
The revolver had been knocked from
his hand and he fought with bare fists
just as they did.

1nc ana the loss of blood had Slapped
all the splendid, vital strength Of the
Scotsman. His battered head was
swathed in bandages, but the white
face was bruised and diSfigured. The
wounded man was weak as a kitten;
only the steady eyes told that he was
still strong and uncOnquered.
Il want TO talk business for a min
ute, Miss Sedgwick. Will you please
step Out?" said Macdonald TO his
nurse.
She hesitated. "The doctor says"
'DO as I say, please"
The nurse left them alone. Waly
told the story Of the evidence against
Elliot in four sentences. His chief
caught the point at once.
After Selfridse had gone, the wound
ed man lay silent thinking out his pro
gram. Not for q moment did ne doubt
that he was going to live. and his brain
was already busy planning for the fu-
ture. He knew now that in the VIC
lence of his anger against Elliot, he
had made a mistake. To have killed
his rival would have been fatal to the
Kamatlah coal claims, would have
alienated his best friends. and would
have prejudiced hOpelessly his chances
with Sheba. Fate had been kind to
him. He had been in the wrong and 1t
had put him in the right. BY the same
cut of the cards young Elliot had been
thrust down from an impregnable pO-
sition to one in which he was a dis
credited suspect. With all this evil
dence to show that he had cOnspired
against Macdonald, his report to the
department would be labor lost.
Diane came into the sickrOOm strip
ping her gloves after the walk. Mac
donald smiled feebly at her and fired
the first shot of his campaign to de-
feat the enemy.
"Has Elliott been captured yet?" he
asked weakly.
The keen eyes of his hostess fas-
tened upon him. Captured What
do you mean? 1t was Gordon Elliot
that brought you in and saved your
life"
Brought me from where?"
"FrOm where he found you uncOn-
sciouS-at the ford"
"That's his story, is it?'
The young woman stood with her
gloves crushed tight in both hands. 1t
was hef nature to be always a parti-
san. Without any reserve she was for
Gordon in this new fight upon him.
What had Wally Selfridge been saying
to Macdonald? Did the mine owner
mean to suggest that he had identified
Elliot as one of his assailants? The
thing was prepOsterOus.
And yet-that was plainly what he
had meant to imply. If he told such a
story, things would go hard with Cor
don. In court it would clinch the case
against him by supplying the one miss
ing link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence.

"And Diane"
"Yes, she knows"
"Well?" demanded Gordon brusque-
ly.
Peter looked at him in questioning
surprise. "Well, what?" He caught
the meaning of his friend. ''Try not
to be an ass, Gordon. OF course she
knows the charge is ridiculous"
The chip dropped from the young
mans shoulder. Good old Diane. 1

seems they bought an outfit for a
month yesterday-said they were 60
ing prospecting"
They talked for few minutes long
er, mainly on the question of a lawyer
and the chances of getting out on bond.
Peter left the prisoner in very much
better spirits than he had found him.
