with no purpose but to get out Of
range. The two fugitives plunged into
the bushes opposite, taking the rough
est but most direct course to where
the rather PERCEPTIONS banks dropped
off to the stream below. The marshal,
pausing for nothing, flung himself bodi-
ly down the steep bank, unclasping his
belt, as he half ran, half rolled to the
bottom.
Here, take these cartridges" he
said, land hold 'em up. Save yer own,
too, fer we're going to need 'em. That
water out thar is plumb up to my
neck. Come on, now; keep them
things dry, an don't bother bout me-"
He plunged in, and Westcott follow

head

Westcott was soon to his waist, lean
Ing to his right to keep his feet; he
heard the marshal splashing along be-
hind, convinced by his ceaseless pro-
family that he also made progress in
spite of his shortness of limbs. In
deed, they attained the rock shelter
almost together, creeping up through
a narrow crevasse, leaving a wet trail
along the grey stone. This was ac-
complished none too soon, a yell from
the bank telling of their discovery,
followed by the crack of gun. The
marshal, who was still exposed, hasti.
ly crept under cover, wiping a drop
of blood from his cheek where a
splinter of rock disIodged by the bullet
had slashed the flesh. He was, never
theless, in excellent humor, his keen
grey eyes laughing as he peered out
over the rock rampant.

er once took his eye off Lacy.
At the door he turned walking back
ward, trusting in Westcott to keep
their path clear, both leveled revolvers
ready for any movement.
He had but one object before him
to get his prisoner safely outside into
the open. Beyond that he would trust
to luck, and fair chance. His grey
eyes were almost black as they gleam-
ed over the leveled revolver barrels,
and his clipped mustache fairly bris-
tied.
They were far from free even out
side the swinging doors and in the
sunshine. Already a rumor of what
had occurred had spread like wildfire,
and men were on the street, eager
enough to take some hand in the af-
fray. A few were already about the
steps, while others were running rapid
ly toward them, excited, but uncertain.
1t was this uncertainty whica gave
the little marshal his one slender
chance. His eyes swept the crowd,
but there was no face visible on whom
he could rely in this emergency.
There was scarcely an instant of hest
fancy, his quick searching eyes survey
ing the scene, and then seeking the
face of his prisoner,
Willing to fight this out, Jim?' he
asked shortly.
''You bet, Dan; what's the plan?" ,

can hold out there until dark. Per

There was no time to waste They
were not yet at the mouth of the al

through the saloon doors, cursing and
shouting.

two runners plunged about the corner
of the building and disappeared, ap-
parently untouched. Twice they turn

tarded by the shorter legs of his COM

a hundred feet in advance of their
pursuers when they reached the hotel
In spite of Lacy's urging the covardly
crew exhibited small desire to close in. /
The marshal glancing back over his
shoulder grinned cheerfully.

asoME DANDY FIGHT


Synopsis. = Frederick Cavendish,
new York man of wealth, receives
letter from an old friend. Jim
Westcott, urging him to come at
once to Colorado. Deciding to go,
ne employs a lawyer, Patrick En-
right, to draw up a will leaving
most of his estate to charity, with
a mere pittance to John Cavendish,
his cousin and only relative, a dis
solute youth. That night Frederick
Cavendish is murdered in his apart
ments. No will being found, John
Cavendish inherits the estate. Two
months later Enright informs John
Cavendish of the existence of the
will and offers, for 100000, to say
nothing of it. John agrees. Stella
Donovan, newspaper writer, learns
from Frederick Cavendish's valet
that he is not satisfied the body
found was that of his employer.
She is directed by Farriss, city edi-
tor of the Star, to follow up the
case. Stella learns of the will En-
right had drawn up, also of John
Cavendish's infatuation for Celeste
La Rue, choruS girl. A conversa-
ton Stella overhears between Ce-
leste and John Cavendish conRinces
her Frederick Cavendish is alive, =
the victim Of conspiracy engi-
ueered by Enright to, secure his
fortune, and that Celeste Knows
where he is hidden. Ned Beaton,
notorious gunman, is also men
toned. Celeste is about to leave
for Haskell, Colorado, and Stella
goes there. At Haskell Stella, rep
resenting herself as a magazine
writer, makes the acquaintance of
Jim Westcott, Frederick Caven-
-dish's partner. Stella confides in
Jim, who believes Cavendish is
alive. Celeste and Enright join
Beaton at Haskell Westcott lis
tens to a conference between Bea-
ton. Enright and Bill Lacy, local
desperate. He learns that Fred
erick Cavendish is alive and a pris-
oner of Lacy. Caught listening,
Westcott escapes, but becomes a
marked man. Celeste visits Stella
and discovers her mission. Stella
is lured from the hotel, kidnapped
and taken to Sunken valley, a
stronghold of Pascual Mendez,
leader of horse thieves. She is left
prisoner in the hands of Juan Cate
ras, Mendez' lieutenant. Back at
Haskell, Westcott is told Stella
has returned east, but is informed
to force the truth from Bill Lacy,
and surprises him in q conference
with Enright.

I'll am through with you," returned
b the miner coldly. "Sit down, Lacy !;
we've got a few things to talk over. 1
supposed l would find you alone"
Lacy sank back into his chair, en-
deavoring to smile.
''This gentleman is friend of mine,"
ne explained. "Whatever you care to
say can be said before him."
81 am quite well aware of that and
also that he is now present so that
you may use him as a witness in case
anything goes wrong. This is once
you have got in bad, Mr.. Patrick En-
E.ght of New York"
The lawyers face whitened and his
hands gripped the arm Of his chair.
"You-you know me2"
''By reputation only" and WestcOtt
bowed, "but that is scarcely to your
credit. Now, Lacy and have got

The lawyers eyes sought Lacy, and
then returned to the stern face con-
fronting him. His lips sputtered:
"As-as a witness?"
"Sure; there may be honor among
thieves, but not Lacy's kind" He
strobe forward and with one hand
crushed Enright back into his chair.

Lacy did this with no good grace,
his face purple with passion. "Some

question" he said tauntingly, must
be mighty important. All right what
Is .t?"
"Where did your man Moore take
Miss Donovan last night?"
Neither man had anticipated this;
neither had the slightest conception
chat any suspicion of this kind pointed
TO them. The direct question was like
the sudden explosion Of bomb. What
did Westcott know? How had he dis
covered their participation in the af-
fair?
"You have rather got the better of

his shoulders, as though Diminishing the

The Rock In the Stream.
'WestcOtt was sensible now of feel
ing of intense exhaustion. The fierce
fighting in the room behind the saloon !;
the excitement of the attempt to es-
cape; the chase, ending with the
plunge through the stream had left
him pitifully weak. The marshal no.

East-.sn't that true, Enright"
The lawyer managed to nod, but
without venturlng~tO remove his gaze
from Westeott's face. The latter never
moved, but his eyes seemed to
harden
Il have had quite enough of that,
Lacy" he said sternly, and the watch

close more tightly on the butt of his
revolver. "This is no case for an

l was the man. l was there long
enough to Overhear a large part of
your conversation. 1 know why you
consented to close down La ROsita for
the present; know your connection
with this gang Of crooks from New
York; know that Fred Cavendish was
not murdered, but is being held a pris-
oner somewhere, until Enright, here,
can steal his money under some legal
form. Enright told you who Stella Dono-
van was, and what he suspected her
object might be. Force is the only
method you know anything about and
no other means occurred to you where
by the girl could be quickly put out of
the way. This was resorted to last
night after you returned to Haskell"
''You are a good dreamer. why not
ask TimmOns to show you the letter
she left?"
Il have already-seen 1t. You thought
you had the trail well covered. That
note was written not by Miss Donovan,
but by the blonde in your outfit. The

Lacy. leaped to his feet, but West
colts gun rose steadily, and the man
stood with clenched hands, helpless
IN his tracks.
"Tll get you for this, Westcott," he
muttered savagely, hate burning in his
eyes. 81 haven't played my last cards
yet"
The miner smiled grimly, but with
no relaxation of vigilance. He was
into it now, and proposed seeing it
through.
81 have a few left myself" he re-
turned soberly "Your man Moore
drove south, taking the road leading
into the ShOshone desert, and he had
another one Of your gang with him.
Then you, and two others, went back
into the hotel, using the outside stairs.
1 take it the two others were Enright,
here, and Ned Beaton."
He leaned forward, his face set like
flint.
"Now see here, Lacy, 1 know these
things. 1t Is up to you to answer my
questions, and answer them straight.
I've got you two fellows dead to rights
anyway you look at it. If you dare
lay hands on me, I'll kill you, if you
refuse to tell me what want to know,
I'll swear out warrants inside of thirty
minutes. Now, what do you choose?"
'If I answer-what then?" Lacy
growled desperately. what is offered
