4 piaet VI uyuduFe was announcer or tn
tricks Of that devil Scarface," sal,
Dick as he again regained his feet
He and his gang are around her,
somewhere and We may expect to Sc,
them at any moment. Well, I've 20
another account to settle with hin
now, and you may be sure l won't
forget 1t when 1t comes to the final
reckoning between u.s." He turned Ia
the Indian.
Where do you think they are

tently and flashing his eagle eyes over
the sides of the mountains as he noted
every detail Of its rough sides.
II think they around here pretty
close. / think those white devils meb-
be watch everything that happen
mebbe watch US now from behind some
rock. You bet when they see their
scheme no good and we all alive yet
they be heap mad like bunch uf hor-
nets and pretty soon they sneak up
on us and begin to shoot. We bet
ter get out Of here pretty quick and
get some place where we can shoot
back or else they get us after ALL"
1.-THE trouble is we can't tell whether
they will come from ahead Of us or
from behind" said Dick tboughtfully.
I'll tell you what we will do. You
go on ahead with them, Tomas and
keep a sharp lookout in front, and
| will lag little behind and cover
the rear"
Don't stay behind, Dick" protested
Polly, her nerves bit shaken by what
they had just gone through. "Come
along with us and we will all fight
1t out together"
Dick was obdurate, however, and
seeing that they could not argue him
out OF his notion, they reluctantly
gathered up their reins and went on
their way. telling him not to remain
TOO long but to hasten and catch up
with them as soon as he saw that the
outlaws we're not going to come upon
them from behind. Promising them
that he would lose no time In again
overtaking them, he turned about so
That ne could watch the trail from the |
direction In which they had come.
The three had scarcely gotten out
or sight around bend in the trail than
DICKS attention was attracted by the
sound of a small piece of rock that
came Jumping down the side of the
mountain close beside him and plunged
over the edge. He cast his eyes up-
ward and saw some of the gang work
ing their way down the side of the
mountain just ahead where its slope
vas not quite so steep. Had It not
'een for the accidental displacement
u the stone which had warned him
Is 1t tumbled past they would have
'een upon him before he could have
nade move to escape or defend
llmself, AS 1t was, however, he fig
lred that he had desperate chance
Il winning his way past them before
hey blocked the trail and cut off his
scape. Dick, spurred his horse and
ashed past them and away up the
rail, apparently escaping a score of
ullets sent after him.
we've got to get those pieces of
ag from Scarface or he will heat ne
the treasure" Dick said to Polly
TIER, as they were seated about the
amp fire. Polly's answer was a sur
rise she had been keeping in store p,
IF several days. From her waist she
reduced six squares of cloth and +.
lnded them to Dick.
These are the original pieces that
iartace thinks he has. He has six :,
