Mrs. Stillman Is visiting friends at

hood that Fred Beauvais will appear
and testify for Mrs. Stiliman, 1t was

they can, but they could not base them

that she was safely out Of sight, and
free from any possibility of pursuit.

to feel the urgency, and plunged for

brave who recklessly attempted to
leap across narrow opening. This
fellow dropped In the open trail,
wounded In the thigh, and unable to
drag himself to shelter, and soon a
sinewy red arm reached out from be-
hind rock In an effort at rescue.
This was withdrawn quickly as a
speeding bullet struck within an inch
Of the outstretched hand. The In
jured warrior lay there twitching with
pain.
The minutes dragged into half an
hour, the strained nerves Of the de-
tenders on edge. Olga was trembling
from head to foot, struggling to re-

knees, a revolver gripped In either

"There's Laud now" he announced
simply.
She saw the fellow Also lifting her
head to peer over the low rim Of rock,
standing in the open trail, but just
beyond range. He held a rifle In his
hands, which he swung above his
head, at the same time giving ut

have been a signal, for instantly those
rocks were black with half-naked fig

rifles flung in air, and giving utterance
to fierce yells. It was wild race,

them. The two above, reckless now
Of exposure, fired as swiftly as they
