CHAPTER I.-contInUed.

Now Cullison was going to put the
legal seal on the matter by making
final proof on his homestead. CaBs
knew that II he did so II would prac-
tically put him out Of business. He
would be at the mercy Of his foe, who
could ruin him II he pleased. Luck
would be in position to dictate terms
absolutely.
Fendrick felt that there must be
some way out of the trap II he could
only find 1t. Whenever the thought OF
eating humble pie to Luck came into
his mind the rage boiled In him. He
swore he would not do 1t. Better
hundred times to see the thing out
TO a fighting finish.
Taking the broad-brimmed gray hat
he found on the rack Cass passed out
Of the clubhouse and into the sun
bathed street.
Culllson and his friends proceeded
down Pepago street to the old plaza
where their hotel was located. All
along the route they scattered mods OF
recognition, friendly greetings and
genial banter. One Of them-the man
who had formerly been the hard-rid-
ing, Quick-shootIng sheriff Of the coun-
ty-met also scowls once or twice, to
which he was entirely Indifferent. He
had made enemies, desperate and un-
scrupulous ones, who had sworn to
wipe him from among the living. and
one of these he was now to meet for
the first time since the man had stood
handcuffed before him, livid with fury,
and had sworn to cut his heart out at
the earliest chance.
1t was In the lobby Of the hotel that
Cullison came plump against Lutte
Blackwell. For Just a moment they
stared at each other before the former
sheriff spoke.
"out again, eh, Blackwellf" he said
easily.
From the bloodshot eyes one could
have told at a glance the man had
been drinking heavily. From whisky
he had imbibed a Dutch courage Just
bold enough to be dangerous.
"Yes. I'm out-and back again, JUS
as 1 promised. Mr.. Sheriff." he threat
.ened.
The cattleman ignored his manner

With superb contempt Luck slapped

away, regardless Of the raw, stark

breath and skunk out Of the hotel.
Billie Mackenzie, owner of the Fid-
