into the blazing oil.
Bowyer aimed, but Molly Knocked
up his arm, and the shot went wild
Bowyer turned upon Molly with q
ghastly grin.
"D--n you'll" he shouted. raising his
pistol to strike her down. Mcdonald
sprang between them. Hackett pulled

His grasp on her throat loosened for
an instant. She drew In 4 deep gasp
of air. Then she saw that the door
was open.
Hackett was In the room. He was
shouting to Bowyer. who released the
half-conscious girl, stood up, and
yelled In answer. The outlaw was

The sight Of the trembling old man
swept away all the girls resolve. Her
loathing for their prosecutor drove her
to frenzy. She tore her hands from
