He lit the gas-lOg and from his bed

jamas, a sweater and wooden slippers.

the clothes he had gathered. He drew
up the easiest armchair in the room.

Johnnie Makes a joke.
AS Kitty stepped from the cab she
was trembling violently.
Don't you be frightened, lii pard-
ner. You've come home. There wont
anybody hurt you here"
The Arizonan q her up to his
floor In the automatic elevator.
I've got a friend from home stayin'
with me. He's the best-hearted fellow
you ever saw. You'll sure like him."
he told her without stress as be fitted
his key to the lock. In another mo-
ment Lindsay was introducing her
casually to the embarrassed and eas-
tOnished joint proprietor Of the apart
ment.
The Runt was oOatless and In his
stockinged-feet. He had been playing

The firing stopped. A pair Of uni
formed legs appeared dangling from
the caves. A body and a head fol-
lowed these. They began to descend
jerkily.
Clay took a turn at the gun-play.
He fired his revolver into the air. The
spasmodic jerking of the blue legs
abruptly ceased.
"fuh'd better give up quietly. We're
bound to get yuh," an officer shouted
from the roof by way of parley.
The cattleman did not answer ex-
eept by the smashing of glass. He had
forced his way into two houses within
the past hour. He was now busy
breaking into a third. The window had
not yielded to pressure. Therefore he
was knocking out the glass with the
butt of his revolver.
He crawled through the opening
just as some one sat up in bed with
a frightened exclamation.
"Who-is-s-s-s it," a masculine
voice asked, teeth chattering.
Clay had no time to crafty idle
curiosity. He ran through the room,
reached the head of the stairs and
went down on the banister to the first
floor. He fled back to the rear of the
house and stole out by the kitchen
door.
The darkness Of the alley swallowed
him, but he could still hear the shouts
Of the men on the roof and answering
one from new arrivals below.
Five minutes later he. was on board
a street car. He was not at all par
ticular as to It's destination. He want
ed to be anywhere but here. This
neighborhood was getting entirely too
active for him.

tryin' for . roof getaway" He turned
and led the joint forces back up. the
stairs.
Thugs and officers surged up after
him, carrying with them In their rush
the Runt. He presently found himself
on the roof with those engaged In q
man-hunt for his friend. When Clay
shattered the window and disappeared
inside after his escape from the roof,
johnnie gave a deep sigh Of relief.
This gun-play got On his nerves, since
Lindsay was the target Of it.
The bandy-legged~ range-rider was
still trailing along with the party ten
minutes later when its scattered MEM
bers drew together In tacit admission
that he hunted man had escaped.
, The gang leader was In a vile tenn
per. If this story reached the news
papers all New York would be laugh
ing at him. He could appeal to the
police, have Clay Lindsay arrested, and
get him sent up for a term on the
charge Of burglary. But he could not
do it without the whole tale coming
out. One thing Jerry Durand could
not stand was ridicule. His vanity
was one Of his outstanding qualities,
and he did not want 1t widely known

him In a room with his three bench

Johnnie Green chose this m%alaprOpos
moment for reminding the officers Of
the reason for the coming to the
house. ~s~-Sea4srzn.--~

asked sOlicitOusIy.
Durand wheeled on him, looked him

"He's the fellow tipped US OF his pal

"Can l get in that wayr
"Surest think You know-if the trap

The cattleman waited In the dark
ness Of the passage. If his enemies
were trying to ambush him in the
house next door the girls plan might
save him. He would have a chance
at least to get them Unexpectedly In
the rear.
1t could have been scarcely more
than two minutes later that the young
woman Joined him. They padded soft
ly along the corridor till they came to
q flight Of stairs running up. The
girl led the way. taking the treads
without noise In her stockinged feet.
Clay followed with the utmost caution.
She took him toward the rear to a
ladder which ended at q dormer half
door leading to the roof. Clay fumbled
with his fingers. found q hook, TN
fastened 1t, and pushed open the trap.
He looked up into a starlit night and
q moment later stepped out upon the
root. Presently the slim figure Of the
girl stood beside him.
They moved across to a low wall,
climbed 1t and came to the dormer
door Of the next house. Clay knelt
and lifted 1t an inch or'two very slow
ly. He lowered 1t again and rose.
"Tm a heap obliged to you. Miss"
he said in a low voice. you're q

She nodded. my name is Annie

she flashed at him saucily as he turned
to go.
Clay was already busy with the door.
Darkness engulfed him as he closed
the trapdoor overhead. His exploring
feet found each tread of the ladder
with the utmost caution. Near the

noiseless as 1t was dark.
Again he had that sense Of cold
fnger-tips making a keyboard Of his
spine. But he trOd down the panic
and set his will to carry on. He
crept forward along the passage. Ev-
cry step or two he stopped to listen,
keyed to an acute tension.

Durand turned to one Of his follow
ers. Tail that fellow. Find out where
he's stayin' and report"
Helplessly Johnnie went staggering
stand why he had been treated so, but
the instinct of self-preservation car
ried him out of the danger zone with
out argument about 1t. Even as he
wobbled away he was looking with un-
wavering faith to his friend to right
his wrongs. Clay would fix this fel-
low Durand for what he had done to
him.
Clay did his best under the handicap
of a lack Of entente between him and
the authorities to search New York
for Kitty. He used the personal col
umns of the newspapers. He got in
touch with taxicab drivers, ticket-sel-
lers, postmen, and station guards. All
the time he knew that In such a maze
as Manhattan it would be q miracle if
he found her.
But miracles are made possible by
miracle-workefs. The Westerner was
a sixty-horse-poWer dynamo of energy.
he felt responsible for Kitty and he
gave himself with single-minded devos
tion to the job Of discovering her.
When Clay met Kitty at last it was
quite by chance. AS it happened, Bea-
tr1ce was present at the time.
He had been giving 1 box party at
the Empire. The gay little group was
gathered under the awning outside the
foyer while the limousine that. WAS to
take them to Shanley's for supper was
being called. Colin Whitford, looking

handle one more expertiy than this
cattleman. His knife was open be-
fore he had reached the nearest post.
One strong slash Of the blade severed
It. In six long strides he was at the
second post %unwinding the line. He
used his knife a second time at the
third post.
With deft motions Clay worked
swiftly. He was fastening the rope
to the chimney Of the house. Every
instant he expected to hear q voice
raised in excited discovery Of him
crOuched in the shadows. But his
fingers were as sure and as steady az
though he had minutes before him in

Clay threw the slack Of the line from

strength of the rope nor Its length.
