lasso and left him tied to tree near
the house, where, in the meantime, a
charge had torn open the safe and put
the treasured rag In their possession.
Crossing the bridge, Dick drove up
to the house and knocked. The out
laws, with guns drawn, strained for
ward ready to leap. Again Dick
knocked; then, hand on latch and
about to enter, shout of warning
halted him.
"Scarface is in there. Look outl"
Teel by desperate effort had worked

Turning, Dick leaped to the car, and
even before the outlaws could gain
the porch to shoot, had gained the
road and was speeding back to town.
Leaplng on their horses, the out
laws started after the car, but drew
up when Scarface shouted:
They'll never cross Deep Gap

All unconscious of the trap of
death that lay before him with jaws
spread wide, Dick went hurtling along.
Knowing of course that the ruffians
would stop at nothing to accomplish
their object and wondering what their
next step would be, his brain and
hands were Of the busiest as he sped
on. Just what should be his next

Gripping the terrified Polly by the
shoulders and thrusting her against
the wall, Scarface shouted:
For the last time-will you give
me that flag or will ] have to take
1t from you?
Polly had reached her limit of de-
hance and her only answer was to
drop senseless at the feet of the out
law, who laid his gun aside and started
to tear the flag from her waist.
Dick had been only stunned by the
ruffian's bullet and recovering, he
crawled up behind Scarface and,
grasping him by the legs, yanked him
to the floor. A fierce struggle fol-
lowed, in which Dick was being worst.

room and the outlaw was quickly
manacled
Polly was soon revived and with the
doctor and Dick carried Ransome to
his room from which a moment later
Dick came and advancing threaten

to the sheriff:

Scarface, still defiant, started to re-
ply, but was interrupted by cry from
the bedroom and a moment later the
doctor came out and said solemnly:
"Might as well make that muir
der, sheriff; Captain Ransome is
about"
The three turned, as Dick, tenderly
supporting Polly, came out, and they
knew she had just seen her father
pass away. The sheriff then turned
to his prisoner and in searching him
brought forth the piece of flag Scar
face started to seize it, but Dick in
terposed and the sheriff gave 1t to
Dick, then turned to the doctor:
"I'll take him to Jail. May use

The outlaw gave him a black look.
"Fll tell you nothing, Mister Sheriff,

spun along, speaking no more to each

The road to town at one point

was speeding there, Scarface sudden
