chuckled grimly. We've sure played
in luck so far, boys; go easy now, and

They were halfway along the side
wall when the firing began again-but
1t was not the Mexicans this time who
began 1t. The shotgun barked there
was the sound of a falling body; two
revolver shots and then the sharp ping
Of Winchester. Brennan leaped past
the boy ahead, and rounded the cor
ner. A Mexican stood directly In front
of the shattered door peering in, a RI
file yet smoking in his hands, with
one swift blow Of a revolver butt the
marshal dropped him in his tracks, the
fellow rolling Off the steps onto the
ground. With outstretched hands he
stopped the others, holding them back

"Quick now, before that bunch in

motionless bodies, they were alone.
From a distance Brennan's voice
growled out gruff order to his line of

eyes of the girl opened slowly, her lids
trembling but as they rested on West
colts face, she smiled.
"You are glad Gamer"

He bent lower, his heart pounding

She looked at him, all the fervent
