BOwyer came back and slammed the
door behind him. He put his hand on
Molly's shoulder.

he said. cd, you've led me a chase,
Molly! Hardest I've ever had; but 1

Bowyer threw back his head and
laughed. "Now you're talking" he an

used to paying what / have to for
what l want. But I've been thinking
that when two people are agreed on
the same thing, and there's no way
out Of it, unless you want the old man
to swing-why, 1t mightn't be neces-
sary for you and me to get married
at all"
He slid his arm about her waist and
bent his red face toward hers. For an
instant the girl misunderstood. Then
she leaped to her feet, her eyes blaz-
ing.
"Get out of my way, Tom Bowyerl
If you try to stop me I'll murder your

She ran round behind the divan,
snatched up the empty rifle, and, as
Bowyer followed her, brought down
the stock with all her strength.

nick of time he leaped aside, and 1t
fell across the muscles of his neck

he wrenched the weapon from her
hands. He beat her across the face
again and again with his fists. He
seized her by the hair, twining it In
his hand, and, forcing her head back,
put his hands over her mouth.
She tried with all the strength she
possessed to pry his hands away; the
red and swollen face that leered into
her own seemed to fill all space, like
a huge, evil sun. With all the strength
that remained in her she tore at the
red hand over her mouth, and bit into
it until her assailant yelled with pain.
His grasp on her throat loOsened for
an instant. She drew in a 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
tugging frantically at his arm. There
came the plunge of a heavy body

the factor whispered.
They raised Wilton and laid him on
the new-fallen snow, not far from the
road. Then, cautiously and secretive-
ly, they turned and plunged into the
depths Of the underbrush.
1t was two hours later when VIII
ton opened his eyes, to find himself
lying in the stable. The inspector

stable paced at his side.

Bowyer looked the incarnation of in
science and triumph as he stood in the
doorway, red-faced, red-haired, like
some sleek fox that has put off its
habitual cunning because it is ut last
secure from danger.
His vicious eyes fixed themselves
upon the girls face as she fastened
back the hair that hung about her.

Mcdonald was gray with fear. He

screamed. "We can't escape him

He'll get what he wants, anyway. And
it's no shame to see when you're

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
Bowyer's, ran behind the divan ana
snatched up a rife that stood there.
She raised the stock above her head
with both hands.

Under Arrest.

Molly saw it all as if In a dream.
The hideOus presence of her assailant
was still with her. Then she saw
Hackett and BOwyer pull pistols from
their pOckets. And each act was ex-
tended in her mind and vision through
an eternity, as if it would never end.
She Sprang to the table, seized the
oil lamp, and hurled it at their backs.
1t struck them fairly, sending them
staggering before they had time to
fire. Instantly the curtains before the
windows were ablaZe. A stream of
burning oil shot across the floor to the
divan, which began burning furiously,
filling the room with smoke. Wilton
and the two men closed.
There followed a furious struggle.
The combatants rolled over and over,
stumbling against the burning divan,
knocking over the chairs, crashing in
to the walls. All the while Mcdonald
hammered at the door and added his
shouts to the uprOar.
Molly darted across the passage and
released him. They're numbering
Will" she cried. But the old man,
staggering out, only shouted distract
edly. Molly ran back. Hackett had
Wilton by the throat, and, as she
entered the room, BOwyer wrenched
himself free, raised his pistol, and
brought the butt crashing down on
Wilton's head. Wilton tOppled back
into the blazing oil.
Bowyer aimed, but Molly knocked
up his arm, and the shot went wild.
Bowyer turned upon Molly with a
CHASTITY grin.
"D-n your he; shouted, raising his
pistol to strike her down. Mcdonald
sprang between tenn. Hsckett pulled
at Bowyer and dragged him to the
door. He whispered in his ear, and
Bowyer cursed - They clinched in
the passage.
