CHAPTER TX
The Ganaman Sees Red.

Exactly thirty minutes after Clay
had left him to break into the house
Johnnie lifted his voice In loud wall
for the police. He had read some
where that one can never find an
officer when he is wanted, but the
Bull-of- f-Bashan roar Of the cowpuncher
brought them running from all direc-
tions.
Out of the confused explanations OF
the range-rider the first policeman to
reach him got two lucid statements.
''They're white-slavin' straight
girl. This busher says his pal went In
to rescue her half an hour ago and
hasn't showed up SINCE" he told his
mates.
With Johnnie bringing up the rear
they made noisy attack on the front
door Of Number 121. Almost immedi-
ately it was opened from the inside
Four men had come down the stairs
In a headlong rush to cut eff the es-
cape of one who had Outwitted and
taunted them.
Those who wanted to get in and
those who wanted to get out all tried
to talk at once, but as soon as the
police recognized Jerry Durand they
gave him the floor.
"We're after fat-worker," e1-
planned the ex-pugilist. HE must be
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 a
man-hunt for his friend. When Clay
shattered the window and disappeared
inside after his escape from the roof,
Johnnie gave deep sigh OF relief.
This gun-play got on his nerves, since
Lindsay was the target Of 1t.
The bandy-legged range-rider was
still trailing along with the party ten
later when it's scattered men,
bers drew together in tacit admission
that the 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
that the boob he had Intended to trap
had turned the tables on him, MAN.
handled him, jeered at him and locked
him In room with his three hench-
men.
Johnnie Green chose this malapropos
moment for reminding the officers Of
tie reason for the coming to the
house.

came to the roof door leading down
to number 1923. He found 1t latched.
The caves Of the roof projected so
far that he could not from there get
a hold on the window castings below.
He made vain circuit Of the roof,
then passed to the next house.
Again he was out OF luck. The ten
ants had made safe the entrance
against providers OF the night. he
knew that at any moment now the po-
lice might appear in pursuit of him.
There was no time to lose.
He crossed to the last house in the
block-and found himself barred out.

the voices of men clambering through
the scuttle to the roof. At the same
time he saw that which brought MIN

not to keep you waitin'. Tn Cla,

The more talkative OF the gunmen
from the East side flashed one look
at the two automatics lying on the
floor beside the overturned table. Thev
might as we'll have been in Brazil for
all the good they were to him.
Move over to the other side Of the
room, Gorilla, and join yore two
frlends.' suggested the master of cere-
monies. "And don't make any mis-
take. II you do you won't have time
to be sorry for It. I'll ce'tainly shoot
to kill"
The big-shouldered thug shuffled
over. Clay stepped sideways, watch
ing the three gunmen every foot Of the
way, kicked the automatics into the
open, and took possession of them.
He felt safer with the revolvers In his
coat pocket, for they had been within
reoch OF Durand, and that member
OF the party was showing signs OF re-
turn to active interest in the proceed
ings.
"When I get you right Til croak YOU.
BY Cd, I will," swore the gang lead
er savagely, nursing his battered head
mo big stiff from the bushes can
run anything over On me-"
II believe you," retorted CLAW easily
THAT Is, believe you're tellin' mo
yore intentions straight. There's no
news In that to write home about.
But you'd better make that II instead
of when. This is three cracks you've
had at me and I'm still q right healthy
rube."
Don't bank on. fool luck any more.
I'll get you sure" cried Durand sourly.
The gorge Of the Arizonan rose
"Mebbeso. You're a dirty dog, Jerry
Durand. From the beginning you were
rotten flghter-in the ring and out Of
It. You and yore strong-arm men!
Do you think I'm afraid Of you be-
cause you surround yoreself with dips
and yegsmen and hopnuts, all scum
OF the gutter and filth of the earth7
Where come from men fight clean
and out in the open. They'd stomp
you out like rattlesnake."
He whipped open the door, stepped
out, closed It, and took the key from
his pocket. A moment, and he had
turned the lock.
From within there came rush that
shook the panels. Clay was already
busy searching for Kitty. He tore
open door after door, calling her loud
|y by name. Even in the darkness he
could see that the rooms were empty
Of furniture.
There was crash Of splintering
panels. the sound Of bursting lock.
Almost as though 1t were an echo Of !

street door. Clay guessed that the

lis way through the trapdoor opening,
ind breathed deeply Of the night air. |!
But he had no time to lose. Al
eady he could hear the tralnpling Of

one strong slash Of the blade severed
Il. In SIX long strides he was at the

USED his knife a second time al the

With deft motions Clay worked
s"lftly. He was fastening the rope
to the chimney Of the house. Every
instant he expected to hear a voice
raised In excited discovery of him
crouched in ! the shadows. But his
nngers were as sure and as steady aa
though he had minutes before him in
stead Of seconds.
There's the guy-over by the Chin
ney." ~
Clay threw the slack Of the line from
the roof. He had no time to test the
strength Of the rope nor its length.
AS the police rushed him he slid over
the edge and began to lower himself
hand under hand.
Inc wide caves protected him. A
man would have to hang out from
the wall above the ledge to see him.
Clay's eyes We're on the gutter above
while he jerked his way down foot
at time. A face and part Of a body
swung out into sight.
We've got yuh. Come back, or I'll
shoot, a voice called down.
A revolver showed against the black
sky.
The man from Arizona did not an
swer and did not stop. He knew that
shooting from above is an art that few
men have acquired.
A bullet sang past his ear Just as he
swung In and crouched on the window
sill. Another one hit the bricks close
to his head
Ihe 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
1erkily.
Clay took turn at the gun-play.
He fired his revolver into the air. The
spasmodic Jerking Of the blue legs
abruptly ceased.
"Yuh'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-
cept by the smashing Of glass. He had
forced his way into two houses within
the past hour. He was now busy
breaking into 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 |
q frightened exclamation.
"Who-is-s-s-s it?" masculine |
voice asked, teeth chattertng
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
aoor. He fled back to the rear Of the
house and stole out by the kitchen
loor.
The darkness of the alley swallowed
him, but he could still hear the shouts
II the men on the roof and answering
ones from new arrivals below.
Five minutes later he was on board

icul0r as TO It's destination. He nant.

was getting entirely too
