the bushes opposite, taking the rough

pausing for nothing, flung himself bodi-
Iy down the steep bank, unclasping his

bottom.

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 &C
complished one too soon, a yell from
the bank telling Of their discovery,
followed by the crack of a 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 dislodged 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.

err once took his eye off Lacy.
At the door he turned, walking back
ward, trusting in Westcott to keep
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 a 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 ever out
side the swinging doors and in the
sunshine. Already a rumor of what
had occurred had spread like wildfre,
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 which 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. Jim7" he
asked shortly.

There was no time to waste. They

shouting.

pursuers when they reached the hotel.
In spite of Lacy's urging the cowardly
crew exhibited small desire to close In.
