CHAPTER XIV
BowyeTs Hour.


Bower 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 at last
secure from danger
His vicious eyes fixed themselves
upon the girls face as she fastened
back the hair that hung about her.
"That brute was rough with you"
said Bowyer. But 1 guess you gave
him better than he gave you. guess
he got what he deserved. told them
you weren't to come to any harm.
Well, Mcdonald, they didn't use you
too rough, eh?"
"We were brought here by force and
Violence" said Molly defiantly. "Are
we to be kept here in the same way?"
Suddenly Bowyer stepped forward
and took her hands. 'Molly-listen
to me now" he said. "Llsten quietly.
I'm not going to hurt you. l love you.
I've got to have you, Molly. But 1
want you to love me. Let's forget it
all What'd you say, Molly? Did you
ever think Of what I've got to offer
your"
She tried to draw her hands away,
but he held them tightly, and, remem-
bering her resolution, she stood with
them passive in his own.
"What's your answer, Molly?" asked
Bowyer
"Never!" she cried. "You knew
that Did you think was going to
change because you had had me kid
mapped and inflicted this outrage upon
me7"
Bowyer turned toward the factor.
maybe she'll obey you, Mcdonald" he
said softly; and something in his tone
arrested the girls attention.
Mcdonald was gray with fear. He
leaped up. "Molly, he means It'll" he |
1--WE can't escape him.
He'll get you as he's got me. Molly, |
say yes to him, because he's won. |
He'll get what he wants, anyway. And
it's no shame to see when you're
beaten, and to give way"
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

Lee Chambers came staggering out,
a bottle in his hand. And suddenly,
a hundred yards away, he saw Quain
and the constable.
He bolted back with "a scream of
terror Then followed Hackett's bel
lowing roar, and the two men APP
peared at the door with rifles in their
hands.
The policemen ran toward them.
Quain led the way. drop those
Hands up! We've got your he
shouted.
Molly saw Hackett drop to one knee
and draw careful bead upon the in
spector.
At that moment the constable fired.
The outlaw toppled head over heels
like a shot rabbit, and never stirred
again. The bullet had pierced his
heart
With cry of despair Chambers
fired wildly and turned to run. Once
more Quain shouted, and the con
stable fired again. Chambers dropped
in his tracks and lay still.

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 screamed.
She ran round behind the divan,
snatched up the empty rifle, and, as
Bowyer followed her, brought down
the stock with all her strength.
Had it struck his skull it would have
knocked him unconscious. But in the
nick of time he leaped aside, and it
fell across the muscles of his neck
and shoulders. With a howl of pain
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
1t 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
against the door of the camp. Hackett
sprang forward, and fell sprawllng
back under a terrific blow.
Wilton stood on the threshold.

CHAPTER XVI
Under Arrest.

Onder Arrest.
Molly saw It all as If In a dream
The hideous presence, of her assailan
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,
filing the room with smoke. Wilton
and the two men closed.
There followed a furious struggle.

knocking over the chairs, crashing in

hammered at the door and added his
shouts to the uproar.
Molly darted across the passage and
released him. They're numbering

staggering out, only shouted distract

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.
Bower aimed, but Molly knocked
up his arm, and the shot went wild.
Bowyer turned upon Molly with
CHASTITY grin.
'D-n your he shouted, raising his
pistol to strike her down. Mcdonald
sprang between them. Hackett pulled
at Bowyer and dragged him to the
door, He whispered in his ear, and
Bowyer cursed him. They clinched In
the passage.
Molly was unconscious Of what was
transpiring. She had rushed to Wilton,
and, grasping him by the shoulders,
pulled him out of the flames. Selling
him in her arms, she began madly beat

But"
Suddenly, with a frenzied scream,
Tonguay leaped from his chair for the
door again. Andersen was just quick
enough. He caught him on the door
sill. and the two men struggled furi-
ousIy. Tonguay snatched Andersen's
revolver out of his hand. Andersen's
hand closed on the outlaws wrist. =
Quain ran to grasp Tonguay's arm,
but, before he could hold it the strug-
gle ended. For Tonguay had got his
finger on the trigger and was trying to
bring the weapon in line with Ander-
sens head. Andersen swung the out
laws arm around. and the bullet, dis
charged too late, passed through Ton
guay's left arm.
The spectators, who had gathered
outside the shack. had come running
In at the sound of the shot. Quain or
dered them out and, taking off Ton
guay's coat, he cut the sleeve of his
shirt away. One of the cOnstables
brought him his first-aid case and soon
had the wound painted with iodine and
bandaged.
"Pll not need you any further" said
the inspector to Andersen. you'll

or four of your own blen. I'm going

back by noon."
He called the second dismounted

pace toward the portage.
