 The two knelt mOtiOnless, peering over the edge of the bed into the dim twilight. seeing nothing, each with fin ger on trigger-tenSe, eXpectant. Then, without warning. the flying figure of a man leaped across the doorway into the security of the opposite wall. It was done so quickly neither fired, but CavendIsh licked his parched lips with a dry tongue.
 I'll get the next one who tries that trick" he muttered. Ut will be easier than partridge shooting"
 A mlnute-twO passed, every nerve on edge; then a second flying form almost a blur in the gathering gloom, shot across the narrow opening. The shotgun spoke, and the wildly leaping figure seemed.tO crumble to the floor Its lower half had reached shelter, but head and shoulders lay exposed, re veallng gray hair and a white mus taChe.

CHAPTER XII.
A Needle in a Haystack


 The little marshal of Haskell had the reputation of being ns quick of wit as of trigger finger. Startled as he was by that sudden apparition appearing before them in the dark road, and at being addressed by woman's voice. the mention of the name Cassady gave him an instant clue. There was but one CasSady in camp, and that tndi- viduals reputation was scarcely of n kind to recommend him in the eyes Of the law. If any woman sought that fellow in this out-Of-the-way spot, 1t was surely for no good purpose. Bren- nan leaned forward over his saddle horn, lowering his voice cOnhdentially, and managing to achieve a highly meritorious hroguc.

 You were expecting to meet MT. Enright. weren't you? That was what Bill Lacy told you. He was to ex- plain to you just what you were to do."
 Brennan mumbled something indis' tinctly, now thoroughly aroused to the situation.
 "Well. Mir. Enright couldn't come, md Lacy is over across the creek vet, hunting down Ned Bcaton's murderer. I am Miss La Rue" she hurried on, almost hreathicSSly, "and I've brought you Lacy's note, which you are to give to that Mcxican-Pascual Mendez. You understand? You are to give it to him. and no one else. Lacy said you could kill your horse, if ncces- sary, but the note must be there by daylight tomorrow. HeTe-take it.
 Brennan thrust it into an inner pocket, and cleared his throat. There Was no small risk in asking questions, vet, Unless he learned more, this in formation might prove utterly use less. The note to Mendez meant little until he discovered where that bandit was to be found.
 "Shure now, mlss," he said insinuat- ingly. Mir Lacy must hev' sint more instructions long with ye then them. All ther word thet lver come ter me wus ter saddle cop, ride down here an mate this man Enright. I don't aven know fer shure whar 'Op Mendez is-likely though he be in Mexico"
 "In MexicO!" indignantly. "Of course not. Lacy said you knew the trail. It's a place they call 'Sunken yalley'-out there somewhere" and Brennan could barely distinguish the movement of her arm desertward. "Its across that sand flat"
 "ShOshOne?"
 Yes; I couldn't remember the name. That's all I know about it, only Lacy said you'd been there be fore"
 "Shure, miss" assured the marshal softly. dearly realizing that he had already gone the limit and that any further questioning must lead inevit- ably to trouble. "lf it is Sunken val lev I'm ter ride ter thets aiSy."
 "Then it's good night"
 She vanished up the side trail, as though the wind had blown aWay a shadow. Brennan gathered up his reins. strengthening his body in the saddle. He glanced back toward the dim shade of his companion, chuck ling.

A rifle cracked and he went plungtng back. his body striking the girl, and crushing her to the floor beside him. There was no cry, no groan of agony, vet he lay there motionless. She crept across and bent over him, almost dumb with fear.
 t'You-you are shotT she made her self speak.
 "Yes; they've got me-" the utterance of the words a struggle. Its here in the chest; Fl don't know how bad; {; perhaps if you tear open my shirt you-you might stop the blood"
 She could see nothing, not even the mans face, yet. her fingers rent the shirt asunder and searched for the wound. It was not bleeding greatly. and she had no water, but not knowing what else to do, she tore a strip from her skirt and bound 1t hastily. He never moved, or spoke, and she bent her head closer. The wounded man had lost consciousness.
 Alone, In the dark, she crept on her knees to her place behind the barn. cade. Her hand touched the empty gun he had dropped, and she reloaded it slowly, only half cOmprehending Its mechanism. The revolver, every cham ber filled. rested on the upturned edge of the bed; her lips were firmly pressed together. Quietly she pushed forward the barrel of the shotgun, and waited.

LiDe Sports NeDs and Comment
Jack Johnson,ln
Exile, is Broke

Jack Johnson is frantic. A fugitive
from Justice, his funds and popu-
larity rapidly disappearing. the for
ner heavyweight champion Is down
in Tia Juana, Mexico, willing to do
most anything that will bring him
few dollars and enable him to keep
up the gait he carved out for HIM
self in more prosperous days, ac-
cordng to Joe Marks, an Akron. o.,
sportsman who recently returned
from the Mexican resort.
johnson recently issued q chal-
lcnge to Fred Fulton. Fulton did not
reply TO the challenge, hut he read
it with interest and Johnson now be-
lieves he really has n chance TO clash
With the Minnesota Plasterer. Marks
does not believe Johnson could put
up even a passably fair fight. HE is
simply desperate" said the. Akron
sportsman, because his money Is
about gone and his popularity IL
dwindltng to almost nothing. John
son invested ABOUT $4,000 ina saloon
and gambling dive in Tia Juana, and
this place has not turned out to be
former CHAM iou hoped 1t would be.
He was roped in on the deal. He
thought he was getting a great re-,
sort. / don't believe Johnson ever
intended to surrender to American
authorities at Tia Juana. His scheme
was to try to get sympathy first, and
failing In that he tried to make him
self popular by Offering to fight any
heavyweight who would meet him."
According to this latest report,
Johnson's plunge into the sporting
life has robbed him of the powerful
physique he owned when he de-
feated Jim Jeffries. He is said to
have lost his light step and his erect
form. and now he is slightly stopped
and his features are those of man
who. has been worrying for long
time.
Marks met johnson In his own re-
sort. Altho Marks had never known
the champion personally, they had
| mutual acluAintances and 1t was not
long before Johnson talked freely to
the Ohio man, He tries to present
a bold front" said Marks" but 1t is
of no avail because his once golden
smile is nothing hut the thinnest
kind of veneer and it Is indeed easy
to recognize lot of woe behind it.
Uncle Sam won't Heed to punish
Johnson severely. He has punished
himself and he is Just about a broken
down man" Marks added that a
tight between Johnson and Fulton
would not cause ripple Of excite
ment in Tia Juaha. If the sentiment
at this time is any Indication of the
manner In which the proposed battle
would be received,

manner. While the hat is good for
youth it is also good for the woman
with lines, for it has softening effect
and shadows the lines.
Wide brimmed hats of orsandy to
match organdy frocks are very popu-
lar and they are also attractive ac-
compartments for muslin frocks.
Finely dotted swiss is also used for
hats of this type, but organdy is the
favored material. Rose organdy in
charming garden party effect piped
with organdy in a darker tone
fashions this hat. A band of ribbon
to match the piping and delicately
tinted rose are the only evidences Of
trimming.

If one could take a census of hats
1t is possible that the wide-brimmed
English garden hat would dominate
all others. 1t may be cheap or ex-
pensive, trimmed or untrimmed. 1t

hats upon the bargain square or it
may stand haughtily upon standard
