half-spent ricochet. He knew that he
was in some danger now, and he was
surprised to find that he was not

When he halted again it was on his

that sheltered John Moreland.

The mOuntaineer turned his gaze
over DaleS shoulder, and his cOunte-

around quickly and saw Babe Little

She had crept up through the tall
grasses and weeds. In one hand she
carried a white flag made of a mans
handkerchief and a willow switch. She
halted and sat up.

Babe gave him a pale smile. "Et

John Moreland stared, and Bill Dale
stared. They were in a Presence, and
they knew it. Babe went on:

the Moreland chief. "Yore people can

Babe went paler. There was a sud-

rifles, and she crept a little nearer to
John MOreland In order that he might
hear plainly that which she had to tell
him next.

and one side of her brown head ap-
peared before the sights of her fathers
rifie-her father fired quickly, too
quickly for perfect aim-the bullet
burned it's way across her temple and
through her hair, and she crumpled at
Bill Dale's knees, totally unconscious
Dale gave a hoarse cry and gathered
her limp figure into his arms. John
Moreland waved aloft the white hand
kerchief and beloved to his kinsmen
to stop firing. Then silence came.
"Come over here, Ben Littleford ~
shouted John MOreland. we've shot

right forearm was wrapped in blood
stained blue bandana:
"Black Adam is hid som eres in this

A dozen men ran to look for the
wOuld-be sniper. The LittlefOrds, still
armed, came dashing across the river.

wrung his big hands and cursed the
